Minnesota Wild fans never give up hope that one day the Stanley Cup will make it's way to the State of Hockey. In honor of the Stanley Cup playoffs here is a list of 10 things Minnesota Wild fans do regardless of whether we win or lose.
1. You buy way too much Wild Apparel.
You can never have enough, and you've invested way too much money into your collection.
2. You shout "AGAIN" after the Wild score another goal.
Okay maybe that one is just me, but as a Minnesotan, you probably know every hockey movie quote and use hockey terms on a daily basis. Because you're a hockey fan, you sound like a total goon.
3. You follow the players religiously.
You probably know where they're from, what number they are, what position they play, their life story, and most importantly how to pronounce their name.
4. ...for obvious reasons.
The Wild players are just super Minnesota nice. Check out the story of Jason Zucker and his friend Tucker Helstrom; it might make you cry. (Star Tribune: Jason Zucker)
5. You get chills anytime you walk into the Xcel Energy Center.
The Xcel Energy Center just has that electric feeling; nothing gets you more jacked than watching the Wild at The X.
6. You try to chirp the opposing team but also realizing they have a Cup and you don't (but that's about to change soon).
Trying to be Minnesota nice but you just really don't like the Blackhawks.
7. You celly hard after Granny scores a dirty goal.
Even if you're not at the Xcel during a game, the bars are full of energy.
8. You make sure people know that you are a Wild fan.
You're a hardcore Wild fan, and for some reason, people need to know this.
9. You're addicted to everything Wild.
Do I have enough Wild stuff, probably but if I see cool Wild gear, I will probably buy it.
10. You forgive and forget easily because you love the game and you love this team.
Yeah, the Wild have a history of playing strong then they disappoint you when it counts but like all Minnesota sports teams you never give up hope that one day they'll finally make it to the top.
