2014-15 Minnesota Wild Schedule Interesting Facts

Of course interesting is a relative term...especially when talking about the Minnesota Wild Schedule, but.... my top 5 2014-15 Minnesota Wild Schedule Interesting Facts are:

13 sets of back to back games (is that unlucky? 13?) – That seems like a lot and I hope my Wild team gets plenty of rest and can stay basically injury free

4 games is the longest road trip at the end of January, I wish the long road trip would come earlier in the season, but it is what it is

5 games is the longest homestand at the end of March into April – I love that we are at home close to crunch time when we are making the push for the playoffs

19 Weekend Home Games – I am sure the ticket brokers of Minnesota are rejoicing over that – we all know weekend games are hot tickets

January 8^th should be a game all Minnesota Wild and Minnesota based Blackhawks fans should circle because it is the first home ice rematch against the Blackhawks.

2014-15 Minnesota Wild Regular Season Schedule

If you haven’t seen it already (then you are probably living under a rock or not a real big hockey fan), here is the 2014-15 Minnesota Wild Regular Season Schedule. I left off the pre-season games cuz I only care about 1 thing – THE STANLEY CUP and those pre-season games do not help get our MN Wild team any closer to Lord Stanley! 

Let’s go Wild 

I hope it’s a Wild Freak kind of season!

Still Got Hockey on my Mind in the Summer

It's hard to think about hockey with this huge heat wave, but I am! Did you know you can Ice Skate at the Minnesota State Fair? That will be such a fun thing for Minnesotan's; two classic activities for people from Minnesota. Hockey and the Minnesota State Fair what could be better.

We only hope they are able to get a Wild player or two out there to play with their fans!

Minnesota Wild Schedule: Holiday Week MN Wild Games

Spending time with all of your family have you a little stressed out? Don't worry that happens to all of us, typically my family get togethers end up looking more like a circus than a Martha Stewart Magazine. That is why this year, we all agreed to buy Minnesota Wild Tickets and take advantage of all of the Minnesota Wild Home Games over the Holiday Week...

In case your family hasn't come to this agreement here is the Holiday Week MN Wild Schedule, when I looked online yesterday there were still Minnesota Wild Tickets left for all of these games... so seriously, skip the Christmas Chaos and head the Xcel Energy Center for a MN Wild Game!

Monday Dec 21: MN Wild vs. Colorado Avalanche @ Xcel Energy Center
Wednesday Dec 23: Minnesota Wild vs. Edmonton Oilers @ Xcel Energy Center
Saturday Dec 26: Wild vs. St. Louis Blues @ Xcel Energy Center
Thursday Dec 31: MN Wild vs. LA Kings @ Xcel Energy Center

Wild Better Tighten Up the Laces

The Minnesota Wild Schedule looks brutal over the next month – in fact, the Star Tribune puts it like this:

“One of the toughest stretches of the Wild's season is here, and the players had better be ready. It starts with a three-game stretch against some of the best teams in the Western Conference -- Calgary, Detroit and Chicago. After that, the Wild plays nine of the next 11 on the road.”


The players better be ready? Uh, yeah. They better. I think we will be able to tell if this Wild team is going to make it to the NHL playoffs this year just based on the next few games. Any thoughts Wild Fans?

Let’s hope for a home ice win tonight against Calgary Flames to start this tough stretch of schedule off right.

Minnesota Wild Schedule

The Minnesota Wild schedule is out and I see that ticket brokers like Ticket King are already trying to capitalize by putting their season tickets up for sale. It’s not a bad business plan – it’s like a pre-sale on Minnesota Wild tickets. I am already making plans to attend several games with buddies. Here is my list of the top games at the Xcel Energy Center. My must attend list by month (I tried to pick one game a month) in date order, not necessarily importance:

1. October 11th vs. Boston Bruins – Opening night
2. November 20th vs. Vancouver Canucks – Welcome to the Xcel Energy Center Mattias Ohlund – Beware.
3. December 1st vs. Colorado Avalanche – second meeting between the teams, but first time at home. A moral must win after the Avs knocked us out of the playoffs last year.
4. December 31st vs. San Jose Sharks – New Years at the X rocks my hockey world. A holiday game should get it’s own month.
5. January 3rd vs. Detroit Red Wings – a chance to bet the defending cup champs. They should be cold and tired after playing that outdoor Wrigley field game on New Years Day.
6. February 6th vs. Nashville Predators – hosting his past team on his new teams home ice is a must win for new owner Craig Leipold.
7. March 31st vs. Vancouver Canucks – OK, so I like to watch the Wild play the Canucks. There is so much tension and the competition is huge. It’s hockey at it’s best. Besides, I want to jeer Pavol Demitra – he never was that good at playing at the “X.”
8. April 3rd vs. Calgary Flames – could be playoff critical game.
