NHL
October 20th, 2005
Professional hockey is back in Minnesota! A year and a half after going to my last NHL game, tonight I attended a Wild game. Woohoo!
My seat was great: fourth row, center ice, right behind the Wild penalty box. The weather was great: I walked to the Xcel center with only a light jacket. The game was great: the Wild pounded the Sharks 6-1, with five of those goals coming in the third period. A trifecta!
On top of all that, it was inspirational to see some fantastic goaltending. Fernandez (the Wild goalie) made a bunch of beautiful saves despite the new NHL restrictions on goaltenders. The pros make it look so easy. Two weeks until my league’s season starts!
Go Wings!! (12-1-0 and still going strong). I am loving that the Wings have Osgood back, because now I can wear my jersey again! I would like to get to a hockey game this season. I’ll have to check the schedule and see when they play the Wild.
