The excitement among Wolves fans is tangible as the team moves to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in twenty years. Local artist Adam Johnson is capturing the fervor of Wolves fandom on canvas, with his painting of Naz Reid even receiving admiration from Reid himself, who got his own copy of the artwork. On Saturday, the Wolves fever extended to Colorwheel Gallery in Minneapolis, where Johnson distributed free Reid posters to fans.
Sarah Hargadon from Minnetonka expressed her anticipation for the upcoming series, praising the team’s chemistry. The winning streak of the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings drafting star quarterback J.J. McCarthy are adding to the optimism in Minnesota’s sports scene. Fans like Charlie Wenner from Eden Prairie acknowledge the challenges of the past but remain hopeful for a successful postseason run by the Wolves.
Despite two decades of limited success, fans are looking forward to a strong playoff performance by the Wolves. Hargadon predicts that the team will make it to the finals, especially if they defeat Denver. Wenner shares the confidence in the team’s performance and hopes they continue their winning streak. Wolves fan Jamie Hoekstra even jokingly suggests another sweep, emphasizing the team’s strengths compared to opponents like Denver.
