I am hereby calling for the entire Minnesota Wild team to take a drug test. SIX goals so far against Vancouver. Seriously, what the fuck?

Almost went to the game tonight too.
It could've been you! :tongue:
in yesterday's Minnesota/Vancouver game, an extremely agitated Rick Rypien reached into the stands and grabbed a fan by the collar as he was being escorted to the locker room. the (Minnesota) fan claims he was just clapping and never said anything, but in any case, the fan is now looking to sue.
don't be a pussy. Rick, who is pound-for-pound the toughest guy in the league, never hit you or hurt you. he grabbed your jersey collar because you were being a dick. just enjoy getting to tell chicks in bars that you were the guy Rick grabbed and let it go
Today's games in Atlanta and Columbus drew crowds of 8,000 and 9,000 respectively. We're going to run out of Canadian cities to put all these teams in soon.
Fuck. Are you serious? That's just shameful. And Chicago gave Byfuglien to those dolts. I would like to see more northern teams; Seattle, Milwaukee, Hartford, Winnipeg. Okay, well maybe not Hartford or Milwaukee, but at least Winnipeg and Seattle. :dunno:
It's fucked up because Columbus is in the north; they just need to actually have a team that is worth seeing. The support was there the year they made the playoffs. That's the problem with all of the expansion teams, really. Ten years of futility will make anyone stop paying to see their team. Hell, Minnesota - the closest thing you guy's have to Canada - is getting 16,000 people to their games now - otherwise known as Nashville numbers.
Seattle is a given; put a NHL team there and it will be a huge success. Maybe even in Portland, too. I don't know if the Blackhawks would let a team in Milwaukee, just like Buffalo/Toronto and Hamilton, but I'd like to see that, too. And Quebec would probably be a better city than Winnipeg; there's way more people. Maybe even Indianapolis or Salt Lake City would work better than Atlanta.
Dude, the Wild are still selling out. I don't see that trend or tickets for that matter going anywhere any time soon. They have the entire eastern portion of the state that will never venture anywhere near HWY 280 for to save their lives to go see a shitty Wolves game.
Not according to what I heard. The game against Vancouver got 16,000 fans. :dunno:
