Disagree with you...he has every right to go wherever he wants as a free agent...I did think he would at least go to Detroit or somewhere he had a chance to WIN...the Wild made a blockbuster deal boosting their team all the way up to a borderline playoff team in the Western Conference...
I was there for that one...I think MSU had Backes and Grant Stephenson? playing for them then...it was an ugly crowd...literally...my brother got challenged to a fight in the bathroom there waiting to take a piss...just standing there waiting with his 7 year old son...I prefer to remember the 10 spot UND put on them one year or the Vande Velde goal at the end of the 3rd beating 2 defenseman and the goalie with 10 seconds to go...
