As I am sure many of you Wild fans are aware of, there will always be a link between Minnesota hockey fans and Dallas hockey fans over the North Stars / Stars franchise.  Most Stars fans in Big D (and obviously outside of Texas of course) like to acknowledge that the team did have a fairly rich and lengthy history in Minnesota ... On Sunday, we at Defending Big D  put together a top five list of the greatest Stars of all-time   ... Three of which were former North Stars - if you have a moment

This move makes a lot of sense to me. It would appear that the Minnesota Wild are interested in signing former SCSU star and UFA Matt Cullen, according to an article in today's Red Star and Sickle ... Maybe three times will be a charm for the Wild and Matt Cullen ... For the third time in Cullen's career, he will become a free agent when the clock strikes 11 Thursday morning. For the third time in Cullen's career, the Wild -- in need of a center -- is expected to pursue him ... The Wild couldn't

Originally cross posted at  Goon's World. NHL Fanhouse blogger Bruce Ciskie has an interesting blog post about former Gopher Paul Martin and his free agency status. You would have to wonder if the Minnesota Wild wouldn’t entertain signing him to appease the State of Hockey. What do you think? Would he fit into the Wild’s plans? The Minnesota Wild need   two  t op-nine forwards and have $11.5 million in free cap space to spend. The Minnesota Wild have 19 players signed so far.  ...

Today I was cleaning my room and closet and found some of my Wild memorabilia that I hadn't seen in a while ... It got me thinking about what my favorite piece of hockey memorabilia is ... I never played hockey when I was younger, much less learned to ice skate. (I know, I know, how can I live in Minnesota and not learn how to ice skate? To be honest I couldn't tell ya.) So I wouldn't have any collectables ... Most of my memorabilia is of the Wild (thanks to my dad for working at the X, getting
