Wild merch

I want wild's merch but I don't want it from fanatics as their products leave my skin irritated even after multiple washes. I believe it's because of the materials they use or something they treat the fabric with. Is there anywhere else I could get merch or anyway to get the clothes to stop irritating my skin?

Free to Read: Matt Cullen’s journey to the Gophers alongside his sons: ‘The game has been great to us’

Brooks, Wyatt and Joey Cullen had very unique childhoods, growing up around NHL dressing rooms. Matt, 49, said his sons were at the right age during the Penguins’ 2016 and 2017 Stanley Cup runs to be part of the pre-scout video when he was at home. They did online school while at Pittsburgh’s practice facility.

“If any of them got in any trouble, the teacher would make them run a lap around the rink,” Matt said. “(Penguins coach) Mike Sullivan would say, ‘Oh, Joey is in trouble today, he’s taking a lap.'”

Now, Cullen will get more than a front-row seat in helping his boys chase their own NHL dreams — it’ll be a hands-on role. Cullen was named director of player development for the University of Minnesota hockey team this past summer, joining new coach Brett Larson’s staff.

All three of Cullen’s sons have committed to the Gophers, with Wyatt and Brooks incoming freshmen this fall, and Joey, the youngest and a top prospect for the 2028 NHL Draft, to join after some time at the United States National Development Program.

[RotoWire] 2026-27 NHL Coach Pressure Index: Ranking All 32 Head Coaches by Job Security

RotoWire's Coach Pressure Index is out and Craig debuts at #3 in the league, right behind Hiller and Babcock. Their point is basically that an org willing to fire a Cup-winning coach isn't going to give a first-timer a long runway, especially coming off a Final loss.

Fair assessment for a rookie HC in this market, or too harsh this early?

Watch Party Ideas

I’m helping my local bar set up a watch party for one of the Wild games. We originally were going to do the home opener, but there was already an event that night, so we are doing a halfway through the season party in January. Any ideas for food/drinks specials, games/activities, or giveaways? Small town place trying to get more people to watch games there.

Wild Network

Has anyone heard anymore on the new streaming services for the Wild? Particularly on proposed cost and location availability. I’m in western Wisconsin and wonder if it will come to my area.

Are there any UFAs we would be realistically targeting still?

Hiii!! With our cap situation, I'm curious to know if anyone has any thoughts on any UFAs that would be a good fit for us? Or do the roster we have currently be more likely to be the mostly finalised version instead?

Haven't heard much about that from any sources other than that we aren't pursuing Laine.

Also I am genuinely so shocked that Tarasenko hasn't been signed yet, could it be because he's asking for too much money?? I would love it if somehow still worked out with him and the wild, he was great last season.
