Let's Play Hockey

The time between June and October should be a happy time - summer has arrived, school is out, and the lookin' is good down at Lake Calhoun. But I often find myself with a hole in my heart, longing for something more. A sheet of ice with 10 dudes kicking the shit out of each other. Thank god that hole in my heart is filled again. The NHL started up the regular season on Thursday and the Wild played their first game on Friday against the Bruins. The Wild looked pretty rusty the first period of play, but gelled the rest of the game. Though they lost a lot of amazing players, there's some good young talent that will problaby need some time to develop, but I think eventually they'll be pretty damn good.

Now the only problem is that I have to wait another 2 months to actually play hockey myself.

The goal chant is cool, but it gets old the 4th time in a row within 30 seconds...
