And how are you today? That's great. No, really, it is. Glenn is still obsessing about the Packers. I, on the other hand, am already looking forward to the great American pasttime: Skeet shooting. Well, actually not, but who cares. The Wild won a game and tied won since I last wrote, the Wolves lost, the Gophers won 4, and lost 1. But I'll explain. First of all, the Wolves had a terrible game in Houston, really stinking up the court. It was just pathetic. So I won't write about it. The Wild, trailing the Penguins 2-0 at Xcel last night scored 4 goals in the third period. Here's how it went:
8:33 of the third. Goal. 12:00, 12:30, 13:53. More goals. It set a Wild record for fastest three and four goals. Nice, huh? So, tonight, the Wild had leads of 1-0 and 2-1, but finished in a tie with St. Louis in Missouri. We now have 14 ties. The record for ties without a decision is 15, set by the Stanley Cup winning Detroit Red Wings of 1997-1998. But I don't exactly see a Cup for this particular reincarnation of our beloved multi-colored thingamajiggies. The Gophers mens basketball team lost again, but who cares? The Gophers hockey teams, on th eother hand, both won impressively. The Gophers men won on the road in Makato 6-0 and then 10-3. Sweet, eh? The women won 5-1 and 3-1 versus #7 Mercyhurst. I like it. Anyway, you want my picks for the championship games? Carolina loses to New England 34-31 OT in the biggest bowl of them all. Have a good night. bye
