As opposed to Phoenix, Tampa Bay, or Miami?

I'm assuming you are on the 1st or 2nd line then?

Troy Williamson...talk about hands of stone...

Minnesota has played one less game though...a win would move them to #7 and leave Detroit and Columbus scrambling for the #8 spot.

How about six months off?

Fixed YOUR post.

I'm sure LaPointe expected a lot out of himself too and that he's sorry he didn't meet YOUR expectations.

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...

I think it's more likely to be a Red Wings vs Blackhawks match-up, isn't it? EDIT: Congratulations to me on my 5,600th post.

I honestly don't know how he does it...

Are you hoping for some sort of siouxsports.com Lifetime Achievement Award or something?

I love the Stanley Cup playoffs...it's the most wonderful time of the year... That's because you're posting.

Wow.

I love the way Gopher fans bitch on siouxsports.com about Sioux fans who post snarky comments about their team.

Thoughts for today...Vikings new uniforms...knocked it out of the park. Dolphins...pop-up to the pitcher. How can people in Minnesota be so dumb that they think it's perfectly OK to listen to an iPod in your car...while driving...with the earbuds in your ears? NHL playoffs...sooooo cannot wait!

Has anyone seen the leaks of the new Vikings uniform? Given the disaster that was their last look...this is a sure-fire home run. It looks fabulous.

That's why you call players up when the team is in St Paul for a home game...a 3 1/2 hour drive is a lot cheaper than a last-second flight from Houston to Boston, Vancouver, or Montreal. The Aeros also paid about $23K per home game in Houston...it'll be less than half of that amount in Des Moines.

Well played Mauer.

Anyone remember Gonzaga's great basketball player Adam Morrison? The guy who was crying in the huddle during the final seconds of the UCLA game? Yea...Charlotte took him with the 3rd pick overall...and that panned out well.
