The BEST waffle I’ve ever had in my life I make myself when we stay at the Best Western in Rochester, MN.

Seriously.

It makes the hours sitting in a hockey rink during camp sooooo worth it.

YO! Mike Yeo!New Head Coach for Minnesota Wild
Thirty-seven years old, youngest in NHL. 
Won the Stanley Cup in 2009 as Asst. Head Coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
2010 AHL Houston Aeros Coach (Minnesota’s farm team) - Whose 2010-11 record is 46-28-1-5, including the Calder Cup Finals.
Coach for 12 seasons.
After watching the press conference, I have to say he’s very confident and I like it. Looking forward to seeing the moves/decisions he and the Wild make during this off-season and during the year. Lots of talk about young players and reference to he and the team being just that, a team, in this press conference. Very interesting….
Sidenote: So with them holding up the green jersey … Does this mean we are venturing away from the red ones? Man, I hope so. Those things are HIDEOUS!

Because it’s going to be just that.

Instead of talking about hockey, I’m going to concentrate my efforts on watching some now. Finally.

I don’t really care who wins. I’m just hoping the Wild will be better next year.

Sidenote: I love Boston’s coach.

No. Hockey is one of the greatest sports because it’s one of the manliest and requires the most commitment. And it allows fighting - my favorite part.(Which if you look at how regulated fighting actually happens, it takes the luster out of it.)
There’s a difference between playing rough and tough and playing cheap. Yes, you will always have dirty plays and cheap shots, you can’t get away from them. They usually spawn from a desperation because a team is losing or rivalry. It makes for great entertainment but they aren’t good plays by any means. And if a team is doing it consistently it makes them classless. Play tough hockey the right way, it’s a fine and delicate balance but a great one that takes a lot of effort and skill.And you can’t get away with a lot of crap. In fact you can get away with even less than you could before. Just take a look at the history of the Broad Street Bullies and then you’ll see how much you can’t get away with these days.Play hard and tough. Slam bodies and take hits. Play hockey.

There’s no need for guys like (Clutterbuck) in hockey anymore. It ruins the sport.

While the NBA is near & dear to me, the NHL playoffs also hold a special place in my heart. Sure, it’s a deep, dark, & violent place, but a special place nonetheless. I can not wait for them to begin.

Watching “Miracle.” love Love LOVE this movie.
Thanks to hockey becoming an ever increasing part of my life, I understand it more now too.
Words I’ve added to my vocabulary:
Sieve (pronounced like “siv”) - a goalie that let’s everything in
Bender - a shitty player
Puck Bunny - A girl who chases hockey players
Pylon - as in an orange cone, someone who just stands there
Chirp - talking shit
Those are just a few. It’s a whole different world out there.
