Today we remember.
We remember the first responders, their courage.
We remember the innocent who lost their lives.
We remember the families.
#NeverForget
As a veteran, and a first responder... I know how it is responding to calls. I have never responded to anything as big as what happened 25 years ago... but I can tell you all of those that responded, they had one thought in mind, To just help.

Quinn Hughes says he doesn't "feel backed up against the wall where I have to sign before camp." Doesn't worry about it hanging over his head during the season, either. Said he loves it in Minnesota and the organization has nothing it needs to prove to him.

Quinn Hughes talked about Hynes and Guerin and his teammates, particularly Brock Faber, as "massive draws" for him. Didn't want to get into specifics about negotiations, or whether term was the sticking point.
wow we have changed in 25 years....
this needs to be shared by everyone.
🇺🇸 September 14, 2001. Ground Zero.
President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn.
A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him.
Bush: “I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

Watching the father of 22-year-old Logan Federico screaming at Democrats after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...
...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES
Still may be the most powerful and heartbreaking video I've ever watched.
Everyone who let this demon walk free, should be in prison.

In the state championship game in 1985 Scott Bloom's wrist shot into the upper corner against Hill-Murray with 27 seconds left became forever etched into state tournament lore and lifted Burnsville to their first state championship.
Bloom instantly became the state tournament hero every kid wanted to be.
A year later Bloom led the Burnsville Braves to another state title scoring five goals and five assists in the tourney, including the game-winning goal in the title game for the second year in a row.
Bloom became a state tournament legend.
Scott passed away last week at age 58, rattling the Minnesota hockey community.
His former teammates and coach remember a player who wasn't just skilled, but tough, and determined to win in every situation on every shift. A player who thrived on pressure.
Scott Bloom will be greatly missed, but always remembered for his heroics on the biggest stage in our great State of Hockey.

Hard to fathom the loss of such an enormous force on the ice and big personality away from it.
Nobody was better under pressure than Scott Bloom.
Devasted for his family right now.
Please continue to pray for them.
RIP Fiddler 🙏

I am beginning to question BG, aka GM of the year... #mnwild are projecting to be worse in 26-27 then last year.
Mn Hockey fans. We deserve this. I have been waiting my whole life, through the span of the north stars, and 25 years of being a wild season ticket holder. This is the best team Mn has seen. I'm ready. The state is ready. Mike, I hope you are ready. The boys seem ready. LFG!!
