Follow the stereotypes. It's not fun when i have to explain a joke.

(and to cover my ass, i'm from Minnesota, so i can make fun of the state and the people that live there.) ;)

Yeah, Minnesota is huge on hockey... They're sorta like the Canadian prairies about it. Good fans too.

Yep. College hockey was all we had after Norm "Greed" Green took away our North Stars. Now that the Wild have started, hockey is back and supported more than ever.

I do miss watching "Hockey Night in Canada" when we had the digital cable and could order the NHL Center Ice package. Very good program...and I do cheer for most Canadian teams just for the simple reason that they are Canadian and everyone wants to move them into the United States. Hockey was born in Canada and deserves to always be in Canada.

Thanks Pyonir! I guess, if I lived in the Prairies I would have got that! Having grown up in the Okanagan Valley, where in the summer it gets to about 35-40 C and then moving to Vancouver, where we barely know what snow is, it just did'nt click!

J/K I just wanted you to have to explain the joke, I got it!;)

Thanks for giving Hockey and Canada it's propers!:)

Go Canucks!

Actually I'd add the first goal too (or whatever one it was when the puch went off his glove for that huge rebound. I think he really could've gloved it without a problem.

Ah... 5 hours till game time!

That one was not his fault......... 1. the puck was a knuckle ball & then the Defense did not pick up Brunette (who is good at getting the puck on the power play).

Cheers,

Salo is out agina because he has a foot infection serious enough that they were going to stop at Tacoma to get him to the hospital. He was at VGH & had intervenue anti-biotics and was released this morning.

Also rumor that Cloutier & Bert are injured (Cloutier with the knee & Bert with a wrist injury).

Cheers,
Aquaman

Before the game starts I would just like to say that this has been one very great series. Both teams are deserving to move on to the next round and both are excellent teams.

Best of luck to both teams. May the best team win! :cool:

Now that i got that out of the way, GO WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good first period... but the Canucks have to pick it up a little... too many mistakes, and they wont be lucky all the time...

0-0 after 1 period...

Naw, lets hope that the Canucks cool down and the Wild take over like last night. As a Minnesotan, I'm hoping the Wild can take this one.

Good sum up, but Linden and Sopel had some very good shifts. One of these days Reid is gonna do something that's gonna blow our minds, he just needs to finish what he starts.

The first period looked really good, but they looked really good the first period in game 6 too.

Is it just me or has the Naslund/Morrison line been doing pretty bad defensively? They seem to be on their heels quite a bit in their own zone....
