Folks with DAZN have said there will be an option for bars/restaurants, likely through DirecTV. It's absolutely essential that they figure this out. Cannot happen for the regular season Wolves games.
With no cable/satellite deals in place, local bars are unhappy they can't get Wild and Wolves games on their TVs!
Our buddy Tim Mahoney of The Loon and Zamboni's joined today to talk about how it's hurting business.

Big news: Wild top-pair defenseman Brock Faber sustained a fractured skull and underwent surgery. No timetable yet, Bill Guerin says

So this just happened. The St. Paul @PioneerPress newsroom just handed and then read aloud a letter to (Denver-based Media News parent company) management: stop gutting this newspaper! It hurts St. Paul, it hurts the east metro, and it hurts the good people of Minnesota to have fewer eyes at the State Capitol, at City Hall, on your kids’ school district and on the public purse. The deadline set by management for 2-3 newsies to apply for voluntary departure benefits was Monday. We’ll know more on that front shortly. A message to Alden Global Capital: Trimming us more for your hedge fund profits is just wrong. – at St Paul, MN
This gets worse. On Sept. 9, management informed us they were slashing 2 or 3 newsroom jobs, among cuts to other departments. What do you cut when you’re down to bone? State Capitol coverage? A schools reporter? City Hall? Web editors? Our one and only photographer? The deadline to apply for a voluntary severance package is Monday. That’s less than a 2-week window to figure out if my career is over — there’s not a lot of safe landing spots in this industry. And if we long-timers don’t leave, expect lay-offs to follow. We’ve got a good team of dedicated newsies at a determined paper that wants to get it right. But management needs to bolster this newsroom and the communities we cover, not tie our hands and send us packing. Contract negotiations resume Wednesday at 1 West Water St. Expect sparks!

Thanks to @DanBarreiroKFAN and @Gaardsy for having me on to remember friend and colleague David La Vaque.
From the hard work of prep sports to press box cookies to the loss of yet another great hockey journalist, I was honored to share it all.

Condolences to David’s family and friends. A good man and an excellent writer. Like many he had a true passion and love for the game of hockey. Like few he was able to capture the essence of the game and bring it to life for readers who shared that same passion. He will be greatly missed. But always remembered and appreciated.
David La Vaque, who passed away today at age 50, had a deep love of family, friends, hockey, sports writing, Springsteen, a certain Tom Cruise movie, hot chocolate and so much more. legacy.hockey/news_article/s…

If you’ve been following @David_LaVaque’s medical journey in the past year, his daughter Michaela posted an important update tonight. Keep him and his family in your prayers and thoughts: gofundme.com/f/gvvam3-suppor…
