1. Wild game, 3/17: I hope all the Wild fans out there caught the end of this game. Because Nick Schultz got to be a hero, tying the game in the last couple of minutes. And then we won in the shootout, which has a tendency to be a weak spot for us. Which makes me incredibly proud of the team, despite their not-so-stellar record this season.
2. Apparently, Marian Gaborik is going to be playing on Sunday when the Wild take on the Edmonton Oilers this coming Sunday.
Blech. I hope he gets booed.
3. GOOOO GOPHERS!!!
i. WCHA: Gophers vs. Bulldogs.ii. NCAA: Gophers vs. Longhorns.
Poor
H*Dizz has both her alma maters playing in the latter.
Hopefully we'll see a Gopher hockey win tonight at the X, cause I'd like to see the hometown team play for the rest of the hometown tournament. And more maroon-and-gold than green-and-white in the streets of St. Paul. We saw enough green on Tuesday.
4. Speaking of the
WCHA tournament at the Xcel Energy Center, Eagle Street is keeping the St. Patrick's Day party going by keeping their party tent hopping all.weekend.long.
I wonder how they convinced the city to let them leave that monstrosity up all week. More beer money for the city of St. Paul, I suppose. And more beer bottles for my back parking lot. Gross.
