Minnesota Wild Select-A-Seat


The Minnesota Wild sent me this card saying “Your Time is Now.” I’ve only been on the season ticket waiting list for half a year, so I’d be really surprised if that’s true, but I get to go down to the Xcel Center next week to find out. They also have 30% off all merchandise at the Hockey Lodge and free pictures on the Zamboni, so I can’t lose either way.

Next season should be an exciting time to be a Wild fan. The moves they made in the off season were really shocking in my opinion, but I’m glad the owners finally opened up the checkbook and realized they needed to reward the fans for their support and patience. Re-signing Gaborik was a no-brainer, but the additions of Demitra, Johnsson, Parrish and Carney were inspired (assuming they all stay healthy). I’m also glad to see Rolston, Bouchard, Koivu and Boogaard re-signed…DK
