Retire a number of a player who legitametly could barely play the game besides fighting and avg 5 minutes a game on ice(when he wasnt a healthy scratch). The guy doesnt even have as much career ice time as a normal player gets in a season. He was a fighter and a fan favorite, but most fighters are fan favorites. Doesn’t mean they deserve to get their jersey retired.

A freaking helmet sticker only? Boogaard was the 2nd most popular player in Wild history. Only Gaborik claims a higher spot. When fans are becoming more and more upset each year we miss the playoffs, they could have retired #24 right next to the only number the team has retired #1 in honor of the Wild fans. Having Boogaard’s number next to Wild fans would only be fitting. Team is 11 years old and has never retired a players jersey. Now would be the time to do it.

They also need to start a remembrance wall at the Xcel Energy Center.

R.I.P.

#33 Sergei Zholtok
#24 Derek Boogaard
#38 Pavol Demitra
