Longtime lurker, very recent first time poster so I'll make this #2.

Jack

Wild fan but still mourn my beloved North Stars. Not sure I will ever get over it.

Fav. non Wild is probably still Edmonton. I was a huge Gretzky fan back in the day.

Married, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats

Fav. Wild player: Coyle or Haula. Not a huge fan of the current roster composition and was not a fan of either the Pominville extension or the Vanek signing. But love Tuch and JEE. Overall, lukewarm on the job Fletcher has done. Was NOT a fan of Yeo. Seemed like a good guy but hated his schemes.

Looking forward to posting more but I am kind of a smartass so sorry in advance.
