Hello from Russia, Minnesota fans! Glad to join history of this great team. As you can imagine, I became a fan, when Kaprizov joined the club, hope it will be a long successfull story.
@@swerve951 agree, it seems that in some moments it's better to shoot instead of pass, but he chooses pass. I think he needs some time to feel confidence and to find his role in the team
Kap has already shown amazing prowess and confidence...I think if he stays healthy he will be a top echelon player for years to come. Welcome to Saint Paul young man!!!!
From a die-hard Bruins fan... I always had great respect for the Minnesota Wild and the impact they've had on the NHL. A respectable organization, (not to mention the greatest and most creative logo ever) the Wild should skate with the Stanley Cup very soon.
You the man, much respect! Hockey is huge here, hopefully the Wild can find a way to cement themselves in NHL history! Love the Bruins, a truly great franchise, I hope the best for both clubs!
I’d bet in maybe 5 years maximum we’ll have a cup because we actually have competent executives and coaches for the first time in like the entire history of the wild lol
Wow...as a fan of hockey and growing up in Saint Paul...I’m not embarrassed to say that this documentary made me tear up on numerous occasions...I am so proud of this team!
I still have my towel from that Wild - Dallas game. I’m only 31 so I didn’t know the North Stars but that game meant everything to my father. Great memories!
Why am I crying through half of this .. lol goddamn that’s a good movie y’all made. I was at every home playoff game in the conference final run , magical place! Beating Dallas 6 rip will always bring a tear to my eye what a night .. bring us a cup wild 😜💪
@@dogsnhockeyminnesota8584 I don't know if KFAN goes back that far. I was in the 7th grade at the time, so it would have been my father tuning the radio. Might have been AM-1500 or AM-830, but it was definitely Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid.
My brother just recently passed from a very sudden and extremely fast case of Lou Garrick syndrome. As I watched this and the first image of the civic center brought back my childhood memories of my brother during state high school hockey tournaments. He became a legend and he never touched the ice. He made a costume wore face paint and he ran up, down and around that whole arena working the crowd. From our small town of Hibbing Mn the legend of the sheik rose and showed up year after year. He created such a stir and soon every hockey and football team had fans wearing face paint and a person in costume working the crowd….
Wow!!! So many memories. All of those people were the absolute best. An amazing organization. What an honor it was to have worked and lived the dream with them all!!!!!
For people that don't understand the North Stars in St. Paul; Locally, any game the Stars played, it was so popular that you'd hear and see it on TV and radio anywhere you were, even from people that weren't into in hockey. They were baked into the culture. The Wild bringing hockey back was obviously awkward, but the fans came around and embraced them almost immediately.
hello fellow wild fans. big wild family from Saskatchewan my uncle coached josh harding. its not just Minnesota that loves you guys keep up the good work.
Love how they paint the parise sutter trade. It ABSOLUTELY KILLED US!!!!!!! We have been working out from under that for the last 3 years!!!!! In the grand scheme of things the amount we paid to both players crippled the team and wasnt worth the return!
Thank you St. Paul mayor Norm Coleman AND original Wild team owner Bob Nieglie Jr.! And thank you to the leadership of our state, for bringing home hockey and the Minnesota Wild!💚💛❤💚💛❤
Great documentary. I was a huge Minnesota North Stars fan before they left now I'm a huge Dallas Stars fan. I think this could be a very big rivalry once things get back to normal and these 2 teams are back in the same division. It hasn't heated up yet but I think it will soon. Minnesota looks very good this year and Dallas has looked very good the past few years and took a step back this year. I'm looking forward to these 2 playing again.
Me too.. My family had season tickets to the Northstars for their 1st 19 seasons. I was going to Northstars games after I was born in 81 till my family moved out of state in in 86. Still have many fond memories of Broten, Dino, & Bellows at the beautiful Met Center. Never been to a Wild game, tried liking the Wild, but the name & that man-bear-pig logo....just couldn't do it. At the last Northstars game at the Met there were some fans that had a sign that said something like "they may become the Lone Stars but they'll always be OUR STARS". That's the case with me.
@@danbratten3103 I’m sure almost every Minnesotan felt and thought the same- memories of the North Stars and our franchise ripped from our hands in 93. Even The Met getting demolished-which is now the Mall of America. I remember going to Minnesota moose games at the old Civic Center, downtown St. Paul and Minnesota Gopher games in Minneapolis because we had no NHL franchise. Personally I think the logo is awesome, maybe not the “man bear pig” but the trees, lakes and wildlife that are native to the land. The Stanley Cup Playoffs at the Excel Energy Center are crazy, especially those inaugural years shown in this video. This current team Billy G has built over the past couple years and getting those 4 key, character guys at this years deadline has made this team a contender. I can’t wait to be in a full barn at the X. It’s going to be the loudest that place has ever been. I suggest you should go to a game here in St. Paul to experience downtown and the Excel, the people, the food. I’m sure it will bring back memories of you and your family, like it did for me. Inside the building at the X is something to see in person too. CHEERS from a Minnesota hockey nut🍻
Привет жителя Миннесоты! Русских болельщиков вам прибыло). Конечно, русские болельщики болеют в основном за русских игроков где бы они не играли, желаю вам,чтобы Кирилла подписали у вас надолго. Посмотрел ваши рекорды по голам, пасам и очкам. Думаю, Капризов за 7-8 сезонов их обновит, а по шайбам может и за 4-5(если будут полноценные чемпионаты) )) У него талант не хуже, чем у Панарина. Возьмёте ещё пару русских и уверен Миннесота позажигает в ПО десяток лет. Удачи в играх, будем следить и переживать!
This has me pumped up! Been watching the wild since the Gaborik and Burns era. This team has never had a better GM than Billy G!!! After 18 years of being a diehard mn wild fan (I'm 24 now) I can confidently say that this team has never been better!! I think a Stanley Cup will be coming in the next 5 years! I appreciate the North Stars history but it's time for the Wild to really cement the state of hockey slogan in a Cup win!! Go Wild
From a fellow wild fan (obviously) I strongly believe Billy G is gonna be the man at the helm when we win the cup someday. I too give it 5 years maximum. Billy G brought us from last in the division in 2019 to nearly a cup contender now. It’s only a matter of time
Is life long bruins fan since 1970.. I fell in love with the Minnesota North Stars in the 1991 season... Having no team in Minnesota is a travesty.. Without Minnesota hockey we would have no miracle on ice... It would be like Massachusetts on Michigan not having teams.. It's the balance of the hockey world Without Minnesota hockey there is no balance in the hockey world
Stars wouldn't have won the Cup in 99 if Tom Hicks hadn't bought the Stars and spent a bunch of money on Hull, Zubov, Belfour, Sydor, & keeping Modano.
I will always support this organization but I will never forgive them for just watching Saint Paul and Minneapolis areas youth hockey clubs dissolve to 2-3 from 12-15.
@Satanogoat Rex ahh that’s exactly what I was talking about pal. Saint Paul and Minneapolis youth hockey clubs were not part of a rich, which is why they failed.
@@michaelleroy9281 Well sport, your wrong. Firstly telling someone what they can and can’t say/write about a video is just plan un-American. Secondly, if it wasn’t for Norm Green sucking so badly, this awesome video about the Wild’s history, would have never been made. Check yourself big guy.
I’m a wild fan. But calling Minnesota the state of hockey when the professional team has never won a championship. Is like calling the Florida the state of football. Hahaha just messing with you Minnesota. From you neighbors to the east. On Wisconsin.
Minnesota is "The State of Hockey " ! Extensive History of High School Hockey Tournaments, Awesome College Hockey Teams AND Professional Hockey Teams' Greatness! PLUS the US Hockey Hall of Fame !! 🇺🇸🏒🥅❤

it would be nice to see kappy shoot more instead of pass we had that in granlund we need him to be a puckhog shoot first guy
@@swerve951 agree, it seems that in some moments it's better to shoot instead of pass, but he chooses pass. I think he needs some time to feel confidence and to find his role in the team
Kap has already shown amazing prowess and confidence...I think if he stays healthy he will be a top echelon player for years to come. Welcome to Saint Paul young man!!!!
He is the future, and it’s looking real bright!
We love having him! Thanks for the shout out and the long distance support. It is so fun to watch him play!

Thx bud. But the logo sucks. North stars logo on the other hand. Iconic
@@mikehanzal9562 pass some of whatever you’re smoking this way would you?
I’d bet in maybe 5 years maximum we’ll have a cup because we actually have competent executives and coaches for the first time in like the entire history of the wild lol
we all hope so (:
Minnesota deserves a great hockey team! Greetings from Canada!
Wow...as a fan of hockey and growing up in Saint Paul...I’m not embarrassed to say that this documentary made me tear up on numerous occasions...I am so proud of this team!
This is such a cool document
17:33 you'll never hear Bettman say that when Québec City & Hartford get their teams back.
Bettman is 👺
They were good for their jerseys but not much else
I still have my towel from that Wild - Dallas game. I’m only 31 so I didn’t know the North Stars but that game meant everything to my father. Great memories!
I too was there. Play-off vibe!
Wild: 6
Dallas: 0
Sweet! Thanks for sharing
Those original wild jerseys are sick too. Their design is so unique and cool. You got the trees and sunrise all in the shape of a wolfs head howling.
Why am I crying through half of this .. lol goddamn that’s a good movie y’all made. I was at every home playoff game in the conference final run , magical place! Beating Dallas 6 rip will always bring a tear to my eye what a night .. bring us a cup wild 😜💪
im a caps and canes fan but im starting to like the wild. i love the twin cities. very fun place
Canadian hockey fans understand how important hockey is for Minnesota. They deserve success.
You can see the love. Good luck this season. This is the State Of Hockey
I still remember listening to the '03 run on the radio as a kid. Go Wild!
KFAN?
@@dogsnhockeyminnesota8584 I don't know if KFAN goes back that far. I was in the 7th grade at the time, so it would have been my father tuning the radio. Might have been AM-1500 or AM-830, but it was definitely Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid.

Very good, emotional documentary. Really brought me to tears! Good luck Minnesota Wild!
I watched this and the one person I’m going to miss is doc. He really is the voice of hockey
Wow!!! So many memories. All of those people were the absolute best. An amazing organization. What an honor it was to have worked and lived the dream with them all!!!!!
That 2003 run was so much fun and so nerve racking.

Great documentary! Really enjoyed watching that. Lets hope that the Stanley cup can be hoisted some time in the near future here in Minnesota!
this is phenomenal

I can’t imagine Minnesota without a hockey team
I wish the north starts were still in Minnesota

We're gonna win the Cup and it's going to be glorious.
Realistically probably not this year but sometime in the next 5 100%
Thank goodness for Norm, Bob and elephants. Congratulations on your Emmy!
Minnesota wilds jerseys always reminded me of Christmas trees lol

RUSSIA IS INVADING UKRAINE
@@Christina3304 in Ukraine - Nazism. Don't trust American propaganda, the Russians don't just attack anyone.
Many Dallas Stars fans were not happy with Neal Broten for what he did the first time the Wild played the Stars at the Xcel Energy Center

Very nicely done
To those who haven't been to the boys state hockey tournament. I challenge you to go. Out of this world experience.
This is amazing
What are they chanting at 17:50
It sounds like “Norm Green sucks” but I can’t quite place it
Thats exactly what they were chanting. And yes. Norm Green does suck
@@sominboy2757 that he does lol
At the same time in 1993 Gary Bettman became commissioner he sucked just as much as Norm Green
i can’t believe we really didn’t have a hockey team for a while
14:25 Nice Seattle shirt
Thanks, this was awesome.
The Wild are still the only post 93-94 expansion team I've seen play in person- no Nashville, Atlanta or Winnipeg, Columbus, or Vegas.
I miss the North Stars... 🏒
The old Winnipeg Arena also refused to die during its implosion
now that i have livestreaming I can watch the Wild and play catch up because it has been a while
Too much enthusiasm from that individual leading the implosion
In the place of the old Met is now a monstrous Ikea
I miss seeing the Wild wearing those awesome Red jerseys
At 17:48 we’re they chanting “Norm you suck!”
Yes
Is life long bruins fan since 1970.. I fell in love with the Minnesota North Stars in the 1991 season... Having no team in Minnesota is a travesty.. Without Minnesota hockey we would have no miracle on ice... It would be like Massachusetts on Michigan not having teams.. It's the balance of the hockey world Without Minnesota hockey there is no balance in the hockey world
Does anyone know the song playing at the 21 min mark?
Minnesota kids are born on skates - in Massachusetts where I’m from born on the baseball field lol let’s go wild
I’m 39, just got me some new Rollerblades ®️ (Minnesota Company) for my 40th, 4/27, the same birthday as Pierre-Marc Bouchard #96
It was 7 years between when the North Stars left and the Wild came, that 7 long cold winters without 🏑🏒 hockey
5:37-5:39 every Minnesotan's response to the North Stars leaving
Honest to pete
I actually saw the display of the stick that Darby used to score the first goal
I heard something about trying to win a Stanley Cup I along with my friends Nate Jockisch and Todd Champion would love to help make that a reality
They should've added darrick boogard in this video
I remember when my dad took me to met center, us little people could afford tickets
Politicians always talking about how they see someone else at a place with food. Whether it be a a breakfast or dinner. Weird.
And we didn’t need the stars. We deserved what we got. That’s the Wild😉
Why would you put parise and suter signing in this documentary, worst contracts in the whole nhl
Suter is worth every penny of his contract
@@Christoph5782 😂
11:37 the only fans in the pic with verifiable goatees are aves fans lmao
LETS GO BOLDY!!!
Not sure why Gaborick got boo’ed when he played as a visitor at the X.
Hopefully the Wild could win the Stanley Cup someday we would have won a championship in 1998-99 if the Stars never left Norm Green sucks
Stars wouldn't have won the Cup in 99 if Tom Hicks hadn't bought the Stars and spent a bunch of money on Hull, Zubov, Belfour, Sydor, & keeping Modano.

Nwa halftime show would been best with we want #EAZY-E
I'd like to meet the 5 people who don't like this.
Sad the Wild have just continued the Minnesota pro sports losing tradition.
Great video, now just change the name & logo.
no
No
Yes. I agree.
After 24 years as the Wild don't expect the name to change back to the North Stars stop living in the past that was a song by Jethro Tull
MANNY FERNANDEZ!!!!!!!!
Not the former Miami Dolphins defensive end or tackle
Go Dallas!
Norm Green Sucks!!!!
Капризов должен получить кубок Стэнли для Миннесоты, все болельщики Миннесоты надеются на Капризову и команду, надеюсь Капри не подведёт,
"honest to pete"
could you get more minnesotan
I’d rather win a championship than celebrate mediocrity. But that’s right wing extremism.
Gaborik was greedy
it was called being ripped of by the demolition contractor lol
But both needed to go ..Like a cancer
Now they just gota change the name back to the north stars!
Past is past like bob Nigale had said
True. That logo and name were iconic.
@@coltonlnd7967 The name Wild is dumb and generic
Forget about it after 24 years as the Wild the name is not changing to the North Stars too many people are living in the past this is 2024
we will all die not knowing a stanley cup ----- mark that down
I disagree
There's always an MN player on the Stanley Cup winning team that brings it back to MN for a day or 2. You can see it then.
WRONG I have a replica Stanley Cup in my living room official size case and everything
Mike Modano and the Dallas Stars know what it feels like.
Also known as The No Stars! Norm Green still sucks!
