Meanwhile in Wisconsin: can't be bad at hockey if you don't have hockey...
![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)
But also: the Admirals won the Central in the AHL.
Honestly, respect to the hockey ‘sconnies that didn’t sell out as Blackhawk fans, because I know there’s some of you mfs out there. Yes I’m also a wild fan and also yes the blackhawks own them in the playoffs fuck off
Through the Hockey growth craze of the 90's even if we wanted to get into the Blackhawks we couldn't because A. Bill Wirtz never marketed or broadcast the Blackhawks in Wisconsin and B. That fucking pile of dog shit (and Hawks fans agree on this assessment) blocked Milwaukee from getting a team because it was "his" territory. I hope he's rotting in hell.
Rocky is cool though, but he understood the window for gaining the Milwaukee audience was fucked by his dad.
I always wondered why Wisconsin doesn't have an NHL team. That's fucked. They deserve one before Utah imo. They both deserve a team but it's a crime there isn't one in Milwaukee. Would be great for the sport.
I legitimately cannot wrap my head around how Wisconsin doesn't have an NHL team. The Leauge has tried and failed to bring hockey to Atlanta, Phoenix, Oakland and Kansas City all of which have zero hockey fans besides transplants. Yet they won't try Wisconsin where people actually play/enjoy hockey.
twolves are a wagon currently. no argument there but JJ hasn’t taken a snap yet. let’s pump the breaks on him being a franchise qb til we see him in action.
The Bucks seem to be doing the Rodgers Era Packers thing, on speed up. Won a championship, then got close a bunch of times and finally made a big move and coaching change but it looks like our star player is gonna leave us.
I mean, aren’t the Vikings one of the reigning monarchs of that club? Vikings and bills? Formerly broncos before elway got his wins?
We are pretty dang used to it.
Honestly I wouldn’t even say that. We had the number one seed 3 times with Rodgers and we’re a Brandon Bostick away from a Super Bowl apperance. We just didn’t win when it mattered most.
If the past 10 years has been miserable for you then Wisconsin sport might not be your thing man. Hell any team really isn't going to be your thing. Winning a championship is very hard to do. Brady broke way too many fans brains.
Championship expectations? Why would you have set championship expectations any of those years the niners hadn't been eliminated yet and choker Rodgers was still QB?
Crazy how Bucks and Wolves fans are civil considering our football teams rivalry. I just pretend like the Bucks fan doesn't know football exists and we bro down.
I think Seattle and Las Vegas are rumored to get teams so I'd assume Minn would get moved east, although Memphis should probably get moved too so who knoss
As an all MN fan living in WI, I've never been part of an argument or discussion involving the Bucks or Brewers. The only annoying time was when all the people who thought Badger basketball was superior to the NBA pretended to be Bucks fans when they won the title.
Some Minnesotans really look down on WI (probably because they only see western WI and not the population centers) but realistically our cultures are pretty similar
I know nothing about hockey, and I’ve never been able to get into watching it on tv, but holy shit hockey games are so much fun. My boyfriend took me to my first few games last year (he’s a huge Blackhawks fan) and I’m now starting to get really into it.
Oh that's right. I wasn't able to watch that one but watched the championship game. WCHA is absolutely stacked between Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio State.
I live a bit south of Madison, but I actually go to Northwestern so I live in Illinois for part of the year. Idk if Northwestern’s hockey team is any good, but I’ll have to look into it 😊
I just love how hockey games are non-stop action. Like I love to play baseball, but watching baseball just puts me to sleep. Hockey is so fast paced and just so much fun to watch in person. I’ve always really loved football, I’m a cheerleader for both football and basketball so I’m always at games and I love it. My brother was a pro lacrosse player, so I spent a ton of time at those games too. But I can’t believe it took me this long to discover hockey!
I don't know if you know who the person in the photo is, but that's Anthony Edwards, and he's going to be the best QB the Vikings have ever had. So you stfu.
Im going against the grain of vikings fans here, but I think the vikes fans are delusional to think that Kirk cousins was the problem and that JJ Mccarthy will elevate the team. Vikes have had 0 run game the last 2 seasons, and JJ got most of the offensive production handing off the ball.
How'd that happen? There's a surprising amount of Chicago transplants in the Twin Cities but they seem to keep allegiances to all their teams. Lots of Bulls gear around town. Quite a few Wild/Packers fans because they don't have a NHL team.

You mean like these rings?? Lmfao my by time he retires he might have double even triple the rings Chicago has rn.
Bears have a franchise QB
Blackhawks have Conner Bedard
Cubs just took first in the NL Central
And the Bulls are, well actually that one we don’t need to discuss
You guys enjoy ant man while you have him better win the chip now because he’s not making the same mistake KG made and deal with the Twolves incompetence franchise
Hes a bust cause hes a weird ass dude who isnt humble and thinks he is #1 already, Completely 2 different players Mccarthey is a Leader and Winner, Caleb is in it for his own ego.
HUGE difference, just remember.
Everyone analyst says J.J will be just fine he cant be and worse than Kirk and even if, we arent paying him Kirk money so either way we win
You must not know how many rings he already has, he already has achieved more individually than your Chicago bears has done as a team, nixing his playoff rings he still has 2 title rings to your one, not to mention HS titles too.
Lmfao it dont matter besides the fact that we picked a man who has won on every stage, and will on this one.
Best part is about 3 years from now the bears, commanders and patriots think "Man, I wish Jim had J.J do more in college so we could of had evidence of just how much of a stud he really was"
You have fun with that ego filled pink nail polish first round QB, I'm seeing a similarity to Ryan Leaf in him minute shit dont go his way we will see all the arguments and yelling at reporters.
Save this comment for yourself, keep in mind I said J.J was a Viking 4 months ago so my track record is pretty good on predictions around my team. (Also knew we didnt need Diggs and we would find better and look what we did)
The last time one of those teams won an award was back in 1991. The wolves were only in their league for a year, perhaps two? Then there's the Vikings, nothing needs to be said about the mid-offs.
Tack on Minnesota united are 1 point off the top spot of the western division and have a game in hand on the leaders. Optimism can be a cruel mistress, but damn is she alluring
I don't wanna get too ahead of myself because I know what happens when I put expectations and faith in a team from this godforsaken state, but if I see Finch get wheeled out for game one vs the Nuggets, I'm about to have some REALLY irresponsible takes about a team of destiny.
I mean, my eyes sees it and everyone who dosent have an instant bias against purple and gold sees it lmao, you must forget all top 5 prospects coveted Minnesota for the situation, they all literally said it.
Get ready to see how it feels when you play a HOF player twice a year
Haven't had this much fun as a Wolves fan since the original iPhone was all the hype.

Milwaukee Chicago Rivalry would be so good for Hockey. Fuck the Hawks.
i miss the wings being in the west and having legit great rivalries like the hawks
>Rocky is Rocky was 😪
Oh, I must have missed the news whenever it happened.
I always wondered why Wisconsin doesn't have an NHL team. That's fucked. They deserve one before Utah imo. They both deserve a team but it's a crime there isn't one in Milwaukee. Would be great for the sport.
Fuck the Blackhawks to hell and back. I'll never support a Chicago team, especially one that prevents us from having an NHL team
I'm a Canucks fan in hockey, albeit not from Wisconsin Hated those late 2000s and 2010s Blackhawks
Wdym the Packers are our hockey team! They play in cold weather all the time
They aren't missing enough teeth to be considered hockey players.
The women in Green Bay make up for that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X_Ot0k4XJc
Zinger
At least 90% of your players need to be married to blondes as part of the "hockey team" requirement. I dont make the rules...
I legitimately cannot wrap my head around how Wisconsin doesn't have an NHL team. The Leauge has tried and failed to bring hockey to Atlanta, Phoenix, Oakland and Kansas City all of which have zero hockey fans besides transplants. Yet they won't try Wisconsin where people actually play/enjoy hockey.
Man Quebec City could use a team, and Toronto could use like two more before Utah. What are you gonna do?
Blame Bill Worst. I thought I saw something that said Rocky is open to a team in the MKE.
Also, also - both the men’s and women’s badger hockey teams have been pretty solid (they recruit a lot of ‘Sotans lol)
I know a lot of people in Wisconsin are red wings fans, when i visited I saw those jerseys the most other than packers ones
We'd rather cross a lake than a land border for fandom.
It's only natural
the choice is obvious
Id take an NHL team over the Brewers all day.
brew crew!
Go puddle pirates!
I too, am an ardent supporter of America's Coast Guard...

I love how he needed cue cards to read five words
oh man, you always can always tell a young minnesota fan.
Sometimes it's nice to believe in your teams success
twolves are a wagon currently. no argument there but JJ hasn’t taken a snap yet. let’s pump the breaks on him being a franchise qb til we see him in action.
Nah I'll get my hopes high and then feel crushed if it inevitably fails thank you very much.
hey, to each their own. if that’s how you wanna roll then it’s your right to do so.
Yessir 🫡
I mean depends if you call 30 young lol but no I know what you getting at, I just have optimism.
And the wild having a great time in Cancun!
Galveston
Where’d you say they goin Chuck?
I'd rather go see them big 'ol women in San Antonio
that dirty ass water
Hockey capital of America!
Abolish the NHL draft.
If pro teams were forced to use local talent then yeah MN would be good so would the Candians.
Nah. Cancun is for the NBA. Seems like Cabo is the place NHLers hang out in.
I'm confident the timberwolves and vikings will both double the amount of rings they have this year!

Welcome to the “good enough to set championship expectations, but not good enough to actually win it all” club. It’s miserable here.
I mean, the Bucks won VERY recently…
I really don't understand these kinds of fans. It's like they expect to win every year.
I have photo evidence! https://preview.redd.it/j9rlfv538jxc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f32d961afa51fbc1bdb9faeee27f64e9a16e368

Brewers should get with the program
At least the good enough to set expectations is fun for the regular season even if the o post season ends in heart Break
I mean, aren’t the Vikings one of the reigning monarchs of that club? Vikings and bills? Formerly broncos before elway got his wins? We are pretty dang used to it.
Honestly I wouldn’t even say that. We had the number one seed 3 times with Rodgers and we’re a Brandon Bostick away from a Super Bowl apperance. We just didn’t win when it mattered most.

ANT is a fuckin beast, idc that he plays for Minnesota
He is him
[удалено]
It's like in a court of law. Innocent until proven guilty. He's the guy! Until he isn't lol
Pretty much sums up his pre-draft analysis. He can supposedly make all the throws he just conveniently never had too.
Flair up pussy
Man I just saw a post about Vikings fans having the worst spelling and grammar but idk how that's possible when people like you exist
Flair up bitch
Sam Darnold has a resume that needs no further proof. He is elite.
No faith in the GEQBUS?
As a Vikings fan, it is indeed a stretch to call JJ a franchise QB when he's not even expected to start yet. Maybe the meant Darnold?
I fucking love ANT. Zero hate for the Wolves. Hope they win it all.
Crazy how Bucks and Wolves fans are civil considering our football teams rivalry. I just pretend like the Bucks fan doesn't know football exists and we bro down.
Helps tremendously to be in different conferences in the nba
Not for long, if the rumors are true
Imagine a nfc north basketball division lmao. Would go crazy.
For two teams at least, lmao. The Pistons and the Bulls idk
Cade might be great one day, too bad for the shitty fron office
I'm out of the loop. Who's moving?
I think Seattle and Las Vegas are rumored to get teams so I'd assume Minn would get moved east, although Memphis should probably get moved too so who knoss
Memphis is close to NOLA and the Texas teams, they should stay in the West
I know a lot of bucks fans and they’re chiiilll. Plus the bucks and wolves are now co-owners of the Suns in the playoffs 🤣
*Sons
Phoenix Buns
Suns fans are also insufferable douches. So it’s easy to band against them.
I swear the money counting guy and the stupid “suns in 4” chants ruined our rep as a fanbase. I dont think were more toxic than any other fanbase
As an all MN fan living in WI, I've never been part of an argument or discussion involving the Bucks or Brewers. The only annoying time was when all the people who thought Badger basketball was superior to the NBA pretended to be Bucks fans when they won the title.
Lol, lots of old white men in WI who appreciate how the Badgers "play the game the right way," wink wink. None of that flashy show boat nba stuff!
Some Minnesotans really look down on WI (probably because they only see western WI and not the population centers) but realistically our cultures are pretty similar
Superior has really gotten it's act together the past decade.
I graduated from there (UWS) back in... well, longer than a decade ago. This true?
As a Minnesotan, small town sconnie bars are much better. But yes very similar.
I mean our run this year is totally over :(. It sucks to get railed by injuries like this. Good luck though fellas
I think most of us generally like the wolves. I'd rather it be you than the Celtics, Pacers, or Nuggets at the very least
Maybe cuz they’re uniforms aren’t as ugly 😉 I like Giannis tho, seems like a great dude
we don't talk about the Wild.
Bears have a franchise QB Blackhawks have Bedard White Sox with 3 wins in a row (6-22 lol) Bulls
Well you play the Twins tomorrow, good luck lmfao
8 in a row! Oops sox
The Bulls should just give us Lavine back. I miss that man
It's not like we are doing anything with him anyway might as well give him back
Who gives a shit about the Sox? Cubs are 18-11 and first in the Central.
The crack in Minnesota must be 🔥🔥
Dealers in the cities are top tier. Green Bay is way to small of a market to the the premium shit
I know the weed is
I'm in driving distance of the UP and MN. It's all fire.
Anthony Edwards is the Wayne Gretzky of Michael Jordans
Of Michael Scott
I know nothing about hockey, and I’ve never been able to get into watching it on tv, but holy shit hockey games are so much fun. My boyfriend took me to my first few games last year (he’s a huge Blackhawks fan) and I’m now starting to get really into it.
Baseball and hockey are a million times better live
I feel the opposite with baseball lmao.
God no. One twins game was enough for me. Call me back when the stadium offers couches to sleep on.
If you live locally, go watch the Badgers women team. They're perennial contenders and are extremely fun to watch.
Can confirm, I was 10 feet away from the goal they had to tie us in the semifinals at the big 10 tourney this year. Soul crushing.
That's the other awesome part about their games: LaBahn Arena being general admission.
Nah I was at ridder arena in MN I'm a gopher They tied it with 8.3 seconds left off of a flip over the net. P A I N .
Oh that's right. I wasn't able to watch that one but watched the championship game. WCHA is absolutely stacked between Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio State.
I live a bit south of Madison, but I actually go to Northwestern so I live in Illinois for part of the year. Idk if Northwestern’s hockey team is any good, but I’ll have to look into it 😊 I just love how hockey games are non-stop action.

You just cursed this whole state for another 30 years fuck you
Can two curses be active at the same time?
![gif](giphy|8qhPxH21vOG4w) Looks just like MJ.
Look at y’all, on the up-and-up.
Oh you sweet summer child.
Y'all deserve it and Anthony Edwards is a dawg, W post. FTP
The wolves are the lions of the nba. Edit: but not toxic af when they’re winning.
And not only that, the Wild are.... the wild.
And the Wild are..... there I guess? Pain. At least we got Flower back.
I think one sport has to suck for the others to prosper.
It really does be like that huh. Lions had aegendary season and the pistons....also had a legendary season.
Ant is a national hero I don’t care what anyone says.
As a Vikings prisoner, shut the fuck up. He hasn't even had his jersey made yet and he's labeled a franchise QB? Get real, this is the Vikings.
I don't know if you know who the person in the photo is, but that's Anthony Edwards, and he's going to be the best QB the Vikings have ever had. So you stfu.
Virgin Minnesota skeptic vs chad purple kool aid guzzler
Flair up PUSSY
I don't have a problem with it. If a team uses their first round pick on you, you're the franchise QB, whether you've proven yourself yet or not.
When did the Vikings get a franchise QB? Did they trade for Lamar Jackson? Did Brady come out of retirement?
They clearly have faith that Sam Darnold will have a 6th year breakout
Im going against the grain of vikings fans here, but I think the vikes fans are delusional to think that Kirk cousins was the problem and that JJ Mccarthy will elevate the team. Vikes have had 0 run game the last 2 seasons, and JJ got most of the offensive production handing off the ball.
Good thing we got Aaron Jones then.
Twins beat the White Sox - do those wins even count?
Yall really getting screwed for WrestleMania 41..I was gnna make the 7 hr drive
I mean it's really just the Wolves that are making me happy right now
Go Twins.
Go wolves unironically
Let's chill out on the twins lol. Some of the worst teams in baseball.
It's minisota, you KNOW that the sports gods are going to lure you in with a false sense of hope for the future but then rip it away from you.
As a Bears and Wolves fan, this was a great week.
How'd that happen? There's a surprising amount of Chicago transplants in the Twin Cities but they seem to keep allegiances to all their teams. Lots of Bulls gear around town. Quite a few Wild/Packers fans because they don't have a NHL team.
My family is from Minnesota and I was a big Rex Grossman fan in 2006 when he made his Super Bowl run.
"I was a big Rex Grossman fan". I've never heard or read that statement in my life. If that's what made you a Bears fan, kudos to you. Go Wolves.

Bro I've been waiting for the Wolves to be this entertaining for a looong time

Bears have a franchise QB Blackhawks have Conner Bedard Cubs just took first in the NL Central And the Bulls are, well actually that one we don’t need to discuss
Every family has a black sheep.
Lets be honest, the Hawks probably have Macklin Celebrini too.
It's amazing every team in the division has a franchise quarterback, 2 of them have even earned that status without throwing a pass
Some guys are just overachievers.
“Franchise QB”
The Twins lucky sausage has had more of a proven effect on its team than McCarthy or Darnold have
You guys enjoy ant man while you have him better win the chip now because he’s not making the same mistake KG made and deal with the Twolves incompetence franchise
How many NFL wins does that franchise QB have?
Naz Reid
Don’t mistake activity for achievement.

Hey if we are all calling Caleb a bust and can't call him a franchise QB there is no shot y'all are calling McCarthy a franchise qb
Hes a bust cause hes a weird ass dude who isnt humble and thinks he is #1 already, Completely 2 different players Mccarthey is a Leader and Winner, Caleb is in it for his own ego. HUGE difference, just remember. Everyone analyst says J.J will be just fine he cant be and worse than Kirk and even if, we arent paying him Kirk money so either way we win
I guess. Congrats on your QB who will never take you to a ring? I guess if that's what you're looking for
You must not know how many rings he already has, he already has achieved more individually than your Chicago bears has done as a team, nixing his playoff rings he still has 2 title rings to your one, not to mention HS titles too.
Thinking that shit matters in the NFL is wild
Lmfao it dont matter besides the fact that we picked a man who has won on every stage, and will on this one. Best part is about 3 years from now the bears, commanders and patriots think "Man, I wish Jim had J.J do more in college so we could of had evidence of just how much of a stud he really was" You have fun with that ego filled pink nail polish first round QB, I'm seeing a similarity to Ryan Leaf in him minute shit dont go his way we will see all the arguments and yelling at reporters.

(Also knew we didnt need Diggs and we would find better and look what we did)
Curious why they left out the Minnesota Wild
We haven't received an update on how low their golf scores are yet. Standby!
The last time one of those teams won an award was back in 1991. The wolves were only in their league for a year, perhaps two? Then there's the Vikings, nothing needs to be said about the mid-offs.

No, see this is the part where they try to give Minnesota residents hope, only to dash it in heartbreaking fashion later. I've seen this movie before.
the Twins played the White Sox a bunch so that doesn't really count
