HE 2008 CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER FROM
WINNING A DIVISION THAT NO LONGER EXISTS
IN THE NHL IS GETTING LONELY IN THE
RAFTERS. We all want to see a Stanley Cup banner join
that dusty Northwest Division banner, we all want to see
the NHL's cherished trophy hoisted on the ice and paraded
around the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
The Wild, with a core that includes Kirill Kaprizov,
Matt Boldy and Brock Faber and now Quinn Hughes, feel they're building
toward that. But in this 25th anniversary of the franchise, there's still a lot to
celebrate, like a long list of great players and people who have donned their
sweater. There's incredible moments to celebrate, too, which is what this
latest piece is about—a celebration of a proud franchise that a lmost
annua lly finds itself in the postseason thanks to a number of great players.
Here's our a ll-Minnesota Wild team (as voted by 33,000 Wild fans before
the season in a sur vey conducted by The Athletic).
