I am crafting this post from the penalty box at the X, and head coach Mike Yeo made the announcement to the team just before the skate got started. Pominville’s teammates congratulated him with a stick-tap on the ice.
Parise on Pominville: "It's big for our organization. Now that it's finally done, he relax and just play." #mnwild

Yeo informed players of Pominville extension on ice by saying, "I know somebody who can afford to buy you guys lunch." #mnwild
