Minnesota - the state of disappointment??

[Super Hans]

You try growing up watching the Wild and see how that turns out.

It's also missing Oettinger, Lindgren and Lyon

Guentzel and Oshie

Guentzel and Oshie

Those 2 are Minnesota trained, not MN born. Nebraska and Washington respectively.

Guentzal is the cheapest one to not get MN creditm just happened to be born in like the only 2 years his dad wasn't working in Minnesota, and his dad was born in MN

Worst kerrabria ever.

As a wise man once said They hate us cuz they anus. I think this saying applies perfectly to your post.

The all Hockey Hair team, alone, at the State High School Tournament turns that frown upside down. Nothing like a good salad bar.

I don't think it's out of line to ask where the high-enders are. Would be nice to hit on at least a Cooley-type more often.

Guentzel might not have been born in Minnesota, but all of his development happened there; Faber doesn't make the arbitrary 25 year old cutoff. They make it a little bit better.

Parise was definitely high end in his prime.

And to a lesser degree, there's a number of guys with bad press tied to their names.

Other than Blake Wheeler, who was a whiny bitch the entirety of his career, who else on this list has any kind of even remotely bad press?

I think we have inadvertently stepped onto a conspiracy. Hudson Fasching is listed as born in Milwaukee WI or Apple Valley MN depending on where you look. What the f***.

If you think about it all Minnesota pro sports are trash. The Wild have never won a Cup, the North Stars never won a Cup either. The Wolves have never won a NBA championship. The Vikings have never won a Super Bowl(did win the NFL championship in 1969, pre-SB era). Its been 34 years since the last Twins World Series. That's brutal.

Does any other state have that many nhl players though? I doubt it.

No.
