Who would think that wanting to follow your team would do that to you?

Why do fans feel they have a need or right to know injury details? What difference does it make?

please buddy. can you be any more patronizing?! there are plenty of us wild fans who go to games and have a desire to specifically know why gabby, nolan, et. al are still not playing. lower body injury tells us absolutely nothing and leaves us guessing at who is going to be playing each night, which is not really fair to people paying big-bucks for tickets each week. you mike lynn sound like a real jerk....

Of course I would like to know what the status of injuries. We all know that Gaborik has a history of groin problems and if his latest "lower body injury" is more groin problems we know that he'll play maybe 20 games this season.

Parrish wasn't good enough to play for the Wild, but in his first game with Dallas he scored a hat trick and now has more goals than most of the Wild team. I just hope Lemaire and Risebrough are history at the end of what is going to be a playoffless year. BYE BYE.

Just my $.02, but I think Russo's grandstanding here. I think the team owes it to the media/fans to tell us the timeframe on an injury, but as far as the specific details of the injury itself? Why do we need to know? What difference does it make? I'm much more pissed that the team charges exorbitant prices for a mediocre product than I am about them referring to injuries as 'upper body'.

It sounds like you're getting a little c o c k y. That was a good article up to the last paragraph.

I don't know or care about knowing what the specific injury to a player is. Why does the average fan have to know? Are they going to treat the injury by magic? It's not important that the fans know, but it may be important that the opposing teams DON'T know. You dummies ever think of that?????

Is there not a possibility that a fan (such as myself) can also be a fantasy player? Is it also not possible that I have wild players on my fantasy team? If the fans are the paying the bills, they deserve to know whats going on with the company just like any other business. It's just a courtesy...
