Minnesota Wild vs New York Rangers: Game Recap

For New York perspective, please read Blueshirt Banter.

That's not what we got.

Instead, every time the Rangers scored, the Wild answered. Two power play goals? What the heck is that about? A good, solid hockey game, and a loss for the Wild. Anytime the team can take a potential President's Trophy winner to the buzzer it's a good night.

Losses suck, but entertaining losses have a silver lining. Losing to the Rangers is nothing to be ashamed of, and keeping up with them is something the boys should be proud of. Heck, just watching Koivu score a goal made my night, personally. Guy's had a rough season. I would bet he wants that goal to come in a win, but it was nice to see, either way.

Remember kids, we had to watch the team lose, but we learned valuable lessons today. HW is a simple rehash of everything Russo writes, we are garbage, miss the mark, clueless, and a punchline. But, then, if we call you out for throwing stones from the shadows, we are perfectly acceptable to read. Also, being an internet tough guy is cool, right up until the people you are being tough about find out. Then, it isn't cool anymore, and just a waste of time.

Noted.

We learned that the HW commentariat is nothing but women, and that the Wild would be better with a North American captain. I wonder what Rafael Marquez is up to these days. We also learned that sports bloggers answer to no one, only want to be friends with players, are afraid of players, and we all want to be the GM.

Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. Guess if we are pissing people off, we must be doing something right.
