Great news Minnesota Wild fans, appears Quinn Hughes doesn't want to go anywhere. Hughes met with the media on Friday, just days after being eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche and opened up about his future in Minny.

Hughes will earn $7.8 million AAV next season, and could be in line for a hefty pay raise. I really like it here. I love the team. I love the city and the fans. B...

Well, the stage was set for the Colorado Avalanche to seal the series in front of fans on home ice tonight against the Minnesota Wild. Doing so would mark the first time they’ve achieved that since 2008. It seems the Wild had other plans as they scored 3o seconds into the game, cashed in on […]

The details are below. The Avs have taken a 3-1 lead over the Wild out West. Can the Habs do the same to the Sabres tonight?
Things are getting chippy between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche. The Avs took Game 4 on Monday night in what was a very testy affair. It included Avalanche defenceman Josh Manson butt-ending Wild forward Michael McCarron, and needless to say McCarron didn't hold back or mince his words. Manson and McCarron got tangled up along the half boards in the first period of Game 4, and Manson delivered one of the dirty butt-ends you'll ever see. He was assessed a four-minute double minor on...
