MNSOTA

Or our old "pal" 4eva.

Poor LIG.....all this razzing of Furman South has him distracted.

Or this:

You forgot that his hair was frosted and gelled within an inch of its life.

Furman South looks like one of those smarmy guys we all knew in school that we just wanted to knock their lights out of.

My god.....one of the zebras is named Furman South. Sounds like the name of a lawfirm, high school, or a hopital.

Did you somehow get transported to California?

This.

HUNT!!!!!

STAAL!!!!!

STAAL!!!!!!

The bigger question, what is everyone drinking tonight? Here's my tipple for the night:

And now things are falling apart...

ZUCKER!!!!!!

Yikes......my apologies. It was a long week at work. My apologies in advance to Antti.

Here's the actual preview: https://wp.me/p9DWHB-42sT

Not that anyone really wants to read a re-hash of this train wreck, but if you really ARE a masochist, here you go: Minnesota Wild fail to show up in Montreal in 4-0 loss to Canadiens

Fenton screwed the pooch on that one. Also, he signed Staal when there was a trade available for him and he spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to trade Zucker, for some bizarre power-trip reason.

I think Lord Buckethead said it best when discussing Brexit:

I'm trying to decide whose stories and insights as a former player are more annoying, Walz or Greenlay.

I'm already there.

Mmmmm.......cold left over brisket.

At the rate we're going, we just may beat the 1974-75 Washington Capitals record of the fewest points in a season.

Seeing the IGA ads on the boards at Bell Centre makes me giggle a bit. The Spring Break that LIG and I spent in Quebec (we stayed in a ski resort east of QC). The town we were in had an IGA, and it was a "fancier" grocery store. And I'm like, IGA in the States are not fancy at all. But then this same IGA had flippin' Old Milwaukee available for sale.
