Absolutely tragic. Just heard about this 💔
Super classy move. Good on them in wake of such a tragic moment
I’m still shaken from this, terribly, horribly tragic!!!!!
This was such a sad story. My heart hurts for her family. By all accounts she was a super interesting and sweet person. Upstanding move, Wilds.
I think it is a really nice gesture temporarily but forever or permanently seems a bit too much. They could have a permanent memorial of a picture and plaque on a wall.
Such a tragedy… great job by the Wild.
I just cried a little. Amazing gesture. Rip
Super classy move. I tip my cap to you, Minnesota. Good human move. RIP to Jessi and her kids, its an absolute tragedy.
Good move on the wild. Now I can only hope them, and the NHL are very much going out of their way to help her husband. Guy just lost everything in his life in a couple hours.
This is so fricken sad 😢 such a loss, and my heart breaks for her, her kids and especially her husband
Beautiful gesture for such a tragedy
I mean no disrespect to Al Shaver, but they should rename it the Jessi Pierce Press Box
Classy!
You’d never see this at the ACC in Toronto. Not when they can make money on an empty seat. Eh, Pelley?
Classy. RIP.
Jessi Pierce ✊🏼
They should donate it to a family every game instead of leaving it empty
An absolutely horrifying story, but props to the Wild for honouring her in this way.
One of the few non-related deaths that’s ever hit me. I watched a fair amount of her content and she even answered one of my AMA questions on here one time. She seemed like a lovely person. And to lose her kids.
That poor family, it’s heartbreaking
This is heartbreaking.
What happened?
I can’t begin to imagine what this small gesture means to the grieving family. First class move.
