I didn't say they always happened at home...but it's been a habit of the Wild to call up college players, etc., and have them debut in front of the home fans. Obviously an injury on the road or something like that throws the whole thing out of whack, but for quick call-ups and send-downs, plus the whole fan factor, it's a win for the Wild...a big loss for Houston.
C'mon, NHL...let's get a team in Houston...paging the Phoenix Coyotes...
