Looked back at the old thread... I haven't updated in years... so here's an update....
Figured I should update mine since it was from so long ago...

Fav Wild Prospect: Kaprizov, Tuch, Greenway
Fav Non Wild Prospects: Casey Mittelstadt this kid can PLAY!
Fav Movies: Star Wars stands above all... but since I absolutely love movies in general, I'll list Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Silence of the Lambs, Sin City, Memento, The Machinist, The Usual suspects, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, Resevoir Dogs, Clerks, etc, etc, etc... (it really could go on and on and on! ANYTHING Christopher Nolan does)

Fav Wild moment/how I became a fan: Well, I'm a hockey fan through and through, so when the Wild were announced as an expansion franchise I was instantly a fan... but the first Wild game I went to (intentionally) was Dec 17th, 2000 vs the Stars. Had to be there to truly open the new era against the team that ripped out my heart when they had moved 7yrs earlier! The Wild TROUNCED the Stars 6-0!!!!!
How long I have been a Wild fan: Since the Wild were announced as an expansion franchise.
Origin of screen name: Used it in early video game RPG's. Since I am already a fan of Raptors (birds of prey) and they all have talons... it seemed to fit the mid-evil fantasy realm. Yeah, I know... I can be a nerd.
Jerseys owned: All authentics... White Neal Broten #7 North Stars, White Marian Gaborik #10 Wild, Green Pascal Dupuis #11 Wild, Red Brent Burns #8 Wild, Green Dwayne Roloson #30 Western All-Star, White Mark Parrish #21 Wild, Red Brian Rolston #12 Wild, Green Mikko Koivu #9 Wild... all before the crappy RBK Edge jersey was created. I have since caved... it was inevitable... but I do now also have White Mikael Granlund #64 Wild and a Green Matt Dumba #24 Wild both RBK Edge authentic.
Married?: No
Kids: No kids, but I do have a Blue Quaker Parrot named Mikko (yes, named after Koivu!) and have 1 cat. The cat is named Punk'in. Punk'in is also nick-named Demon Cat!
