First, the Minnesota Wild changed their goal song to "Let's Go Crazy." Today, the Xcel Energy Center unveiled a permanent Prince memorial display, which the official tribute page says includes a "replica Minnesota Wild jersey with Prince's glyph that was presented to the artist in 2004." The memorial can be seen at Gate 1 of the arena.
