Watch Duty is showing lots of unprescribed burns in northern MN right now. Usually prescribed burns are small enough that only the very immediate area will smell any smoke. Snowmelt was early and sparse so it makes sense, just a bummer

Already smelling wildfire smoke, say it ain’t so

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

The passive voice is even more wild when you open up the article and it says they suspect he was driving under the influence. What a joke

Still got overlap on 3 of the 5 possible remaining games, the math will work out in my favor if you keep choosing basketball

Minnesota it looks like you’re allowed to either get the win in hockey or basketball. If you could keep choosing basketball I think that would make us all happiest

Freddie ???

They also randomly flashed Casey DeSmith’s stats on the bottom of the screen towards the end, no idea what’s going on over there

Are we gonna talk about how ESPN accidentally flashed Logan Stankoven stats for two seconds and Robo got the GWG right after

Yesss hoping for the fun to continue and no injuries! Maybe a *little* less goofy next time. For the record, when the Stars and Wild played in 2023, the Stars came back and won Game 2 7-3. Definitely a tougher effort from the Wild this time!

I think we should wait to play Choosin’ Texas til the clock hits 0, personally

The sequences of penalties throughout, downright comedy. Slowest rolling empty netter I’ve ever seen

This game is objectively hilarious

lol this is why they say not to use white tape

Marcus “if we get the right officiating” Foligno got his officiating. Slamming a guy’s head like that and it’s a minor. What a child

KICK M. FOLIGNO OUT OF THE GAME JFC

Marcus Foligno still a total bum

5 on 5 hockey is overrated this period I guess

Newly released records detail police response to lawmaker attacks Authorities first identified Vance Boelter as a suspect within three hours of the start of the politically motivated rampage.

Newly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.

Idk if I’d call it immediate, but before getting your own team again is rough. The Wild have also been around as long as the north stars existed now so idk I think it’s time to move on

Maybe the worst trade deadline pickup we’ve ever made

Tyler Myers my enemy

It works because of deep in the heart of Texas but as the Lone Star state it feels funny to have Stars plural

I truly think if the Wild had a better nickname then fans wouldn’t still be as upset about the North Stars

One guy said “that’s a nice North Stars jersey” and then suggested we could trade names so Dallas could rep the Wild Wild West

I’ve never ever had a legitimate desire to be a business owner, but this time of year always makes me want to open a Stars bar in Minneapolis. I wanna be able to go watch my team at the bar with fellow fans, esp when they’re playing the local team

Going on a long bus ride, let’s see how many men stop to tell me “they used to be the North Stars”

I’m watching Game 1 with 12 hockey players cheering for the other team 🙃

So glad the arena tours I wanted to see this spring happened right before NHL and NBA playoffs

Did Jake Oettinger bring a jar of preserves?

I think we’re similar ages and I never saw one of them in grade school. This must be pretty district by district
