First, the bad news. The Gophers mens team lost. What? You could care less? Me too. Jesse Orosco retired, which is really unfortunate, but the guy had an amazing career, and I don't blame him. Hey, at least I got to see him pitch for the Twins, which is not something that many people can say. The Wolves beat Toronto in ACC (Air Canada Center) 108-97, as Sammy scored 30, Latrell added 24, and KG had another great night with 12 rebounds and 28 points. The Wild had a 2-0 lead, lost it, and then scored at 19:45 and 19:47 of the third period to win 4-2 at home over Chicago, which is big. You tie or lose that game, it's bye bye playoffs. Even now, we're still a longshot, but we got a chance, which is what counts. The game had 17 penalties, accounting for 46 minutes of missed ice time. Marian Gaborik and Alex Henry were both injured, Gaborik now being day to day. The team is lucky, they're going to Southern California for a week, which is a place that I would love to go to. Wel, Duh. Okay then, wrapping up with a little Twins talk, it looks like Romero, Mientkiewicz, and Santana will all be signed relatively quickly. Thankyou. Bye
