Do you remember where you were on July 4th, 2012? I certainly do. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a lot of those moments in Wild history. It was a hot and humid day. Muggy, as we Minnesotans like to call it. I was headed through St. Paul to a friend’s house, because they had better A/C. Suddenly, the news came through. Zach Parise and Ryan Suter were signed by the Minnesota Wild. I instantly called my brother and yelled “WE GOT ‘EM!" I was shaking from excitement. At that moment, I thought the future of the Wild was bright.
