Video: Minnesota Wild Announcer In Hot Water Over Controversial On-Air Comments

The Minnesota Wild are in some hot water this morning after announcer Wes Walz was recorded on the broadcast suggesting forward Ryan Hartman should have slashed San Jose Sharks' forward Evander Kane hard enough to break his fingers.

A ton of people have cried foul here and have cited a loss of respect for the Wild announcer as it's certainly something you don't hear every day from a telecast and former player.

Here's the play that has the Wild answering some questions today as this shouldn't be the type of advice kids hear while watching their favorite team:

Lost some respect for @mnwild TV man @walz3737 for suggesting that @RHartzy18 might as well try and break one of @evanderkane_9 fingers. Stay classy Minny. pic.twitter.com/avaJPBrdej
