Let's Play Hockey

Last night we attended the Minnesota Wild vs the Colorado Avalanche at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. I'm an Avs fan and of course everyone else there (with the exception of one five year old kid and a guy I suspect picked his jersey up at a Thrift Store) were all Wild fans. Currently the Avs are number one in the Division as well as number one in the Conference. And Minnesota is dead last in the Division and dead last in the Conference. But the Wild scored early and stayed with the Avs all night. Third period ended in a 2 - 2 tie. During overtime niether team scored. So off to the Shootout we went. It was very exciting. In the end the Wild prevailed and won. It was a great time.
Towards the end of the game a sheet of glass got broke right at the officials table. There was glass everywhere. Now that was "wild". Ha

Hey is that the Avs putting the puck in that Wild net? Sure does look like it. Cool camera huh? I'd say.

Facing off....


Wild bad boy Bouchard gets in a fight with Avs David Koci. Koci ends up running away. He's not liking what Boogie's delivering.

Niklas Backstrom's tended goal last night.
