Let's go Wild!!

Alright all of you Minnesotans, there's no better way to shake off and forget about the cold weather and recent snowstorms than by getting off of our chapped asses to cheer on our NW Division Champs (that's right you Canucks and Flames fans) who begin the playoff run tonight against the Avs!

The '03 playoff run was by far the most exciting playoffs I remember, and I'm sure the Xcel Center is going to be shaking tonight.

So what say you Wild fans? How will you be watching the game tonight??

Yep you can bet your arse I will be watching!!!

Wish I was there but obviously living 3+ hours away from the cities on a Wednesday night doesnt bode well for me going to a game.

A true fan would make the trek

My wife and I almost joined the line of campers outside the X for tickets a few nights ago...then decided it'd just be easier to watch it in HD at the inlaws.

We'll probably have it on a bit at home...it's hard to wrestle the remote from our five year old. Hubby was asked to work the game tonight and Saturday, but had to turn it down...perhaps he should have offered your services in his place

We almost did, too. My 10-year-old daugther and husband went to a game a few weeks ago. She's a hockey player and had a blast at the game.

We will definitely be watching the game tonight! Go Wild!!!!!

Well I can guarantee that I'd be pretty worthless while play is going on...but it would be an amazing time to be in that building tonight.

See if he can still get me a pass through the doors

So I probably shouldnt mention that I have 7 seats at each game then?

Seriously, i do! I sold all the ones for the first 2 games as I couldnt attend. I have the same seats for games 3 and 4 at home that I wont be attending either that I will just sell as well.

I think that would be okay...the only time you'd have to pay attention would be if there was an injured player or fan

I'll see what he can do - can you perform CPR??

Well, my house is really in turmoil. We have 3 oilers fans, who are all hoping the flames loose out because they hate them. The other 2 are Flames fans so will be watching every game they can. Could make for some heated hockey nights around here!
Personally, my hockey watching stopped when the Oilers traded Gretzky so I really don't care what happens. I have season tickets for lacrosse, and find that alot more interesting to watch.

I used to be certified in the old "15 and 2" style, but now expired...does that count??

I am SERIOUSLY awesome at screaming for help. People always hear me and think something must be wrong.

I can actually agree with you on that point. I played, coached, and now officiate lacrosse and it is by far the most exciting sport to watch. It's rapidly gaining popularity (and skill level) in these parts.

But, the NHL playoffs are a whole different game than the ones played during the regular season. It's definitely the best of the best hockey that can be played.
