17th August, 1947.

Since it's start in 2000, the team has never had a permanent captain. Sean O'Donnell served as the captain for October of the inaugural year.

According to hockey-reference.com, there was no NHL hockey team based in Minnesota before the North Stars were established as part of the first expansion of the league in 1967. There was a team called the Minnesota Fighting Saints (played in the WHA) that existed from 1973-77. Other than the Wild or North Stars, the Fighting Saints are the only other team to play in Minnesota and be a member of either the NHL or WHA (later merged with the NHL).

Ryan Suter is number 20 on the Minnesota Wild.

Because Minnesota is Kentucky of the north. Throw away any Mary Tyler Moore ideas about urban sophistication, because they left sometime in the 1980's. No you have state that is half hillbillies and the other half ignorant busybodies who thin k they are far smarter than they actually are, who spend most of their time telling others how to live.

Let's not forget the bland, flavorless food. The local beer that either tatses like urine or grapefruit juice, and the like the stuff as 1 in 8 Minnesotan's has at least one DUI.

Minnesotans are dumb, they stand in doorways blocking them so you can't get through, they block aisles in stores having family reunions or just staring blankly into space. and none of them have the sense to let people off elevators before running into them. The are the kind of people who stop right where the escalator ends forcing everyone behind them stumble or trip.

I always wondered where stupid tourists came from and now I know. Minnesotans are the worst drivers, as they are so self absorbed they forget that there are others on the road, which is fine since the roads are so poorly marked and signed here no one really knows where they are going anyway.

So if you think you want to go to Minnesota, lay down until the feeling goes away. If you find yourself there, leave quietly and quickly.

The "Wild Anthem".

We were raised

With the stick

And a pair of blades

On the ice we cut our teeth

We took our knocks

In the penalty box

Our mother was the referee

This sport was here

Before we came

It will be here when we're gone

The game's in our blood

And our blood's in the game

Lay us down under

A frozen pond

We will fight to the end

We will stand and defend

Our flag flying high and free

We were born the child

Of the strong and wild

In the state the state

Of hockey

A big blue line runs around our state

A line that can't be crossed

The day they try to take this game

Is the day the gloves come off

We will fight to the end

We will stand and defend

Our flag flying high and free

We were born the child

Of the strong and wild

In the state the state

Of hockey

he had a concussion and lived from that then the rest is a mystery
