10:05 AM PT -- Minnesota Wild tells TMZ ... "We are aware of offensive language that was picked up on last night’s broadcast. The language is unacceptable and has no place on our broadcast.

The incident happened about halfway through the game in Edmonton ... when, during a quiet moment in the broadcast, someone was heard saying, when the score is 3-0, "every goalie is r*****ed."

The comment's followed by a chorus of squealing laughter ... though, as far as we can tell, it was never addressed during the broadcast.
