i gots hockey fever

the minnesota wild are making their nhl playoff debut tonight against the colorado nordiques. 3rd year in the league and already going to make some waves as the 6th seed in hockey's tougher western conference. time to kick some ass!

the righteous minnesota golden gophers match up with the evil michigan wolverines tonight for a defense of their 2002 title in this year's frozen four. this is also a rematch of last year's semifinals, so it's going to be a good, good game. bonus for me: i have a personal connection in this year's gopher team. i know one othe goalies--travis weber. he went to my high school and was the goalie when i was a senior. and he's good--nhl quality. this kid is phenomomenonal. and it makes it that much easier to cheer for the gophers and make derogatory remarks towards the wolverines when you have a personal connection.

other sport updates, the minnesota timberwolves are this close to getting homefield advantage in the nba playoffs. we need it. 6 straight years of being seeded 5-8, and 6 straight years of departing first round. KG needs this. flip needs this. i need this.

my fantasy baseball isn't doing too good on yahoo with my friends, but my sandbox league is kicking ass. it's a trade off. i would much rather kick the shit out of my friends, though.
