By Tony Abbott -
A lot of time on our hands, huh?
Three days doesn't exactly feel like a long time normally, but it's been a pretty empty few days for me, puck-wise. But in the leisure, we still have some interesting topics to chew on.
I'm pretty wordy coming up, so let's just get right to it.
Wild News
Clothes shopping a necessity for Wild call-ups from Houston | StarTribune.com- This Wild notebook briefly looks at the everyday life of a recent call-up, how the lineup could shake out for Thursday, and Yeo trying to inject more battle into the squad. There's more detail on the lineup/practice on Russo's blog.
Tending the Fields
The Third Intermission: What's it's all about through the eyes of an 8-year old- A nice piece. I could imagine how frustrating it can be to follow a minor league team, where anyone special will be gone in a year, if not less. Hard to feel too bad, though, when they get to see Coyle, Bulmer, and Phillips develop still.
First Round Bust: Does Bjorn Krupp Actually Exist? Spoiler: He does, but just barely.
Hockey City Classic: Mario Lucia helps Notre Dame past Miami (Ohio) - TwinCities.com- Spoiler: Lucia scored a goal. He has 10 goals and 9 assists in 23 games. Not bad for a freshman, which for context is somewhere in between Zucker's freshman year (40 GP; 23 G; 22 A) and Coyle's (37 GP; 7G; 19 A).
Off the Trail
Breaking down Matt Duchene’s goal that wasn’t in any way illegal, nope, nothing to see here | Backhand Shelf- Hey, look! A Systems Analyst post that doesn't have to do with the Wild royally screwing up!
30 Thoughts: Hockey socks and safety | Hockey | CBC Sports- This week's 30 Thoughts, which is the origin of the Matt-Cullen-to-Pittsburgh talk. For some supplemental reading, Justin Bourne of BHS has 10 Thoughts on 30 Thoughts. Dany Heatley makes an appearance!
Who tells hockey writers to die in Aurora-like shooting massacres? Pediatric doctors, apparently | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports- The Internet: Keeping it Classy Since, Well, Never
Respect
Boston Bruins visit Newtown, lend support to Sandy Hook shooting victims (VIDEO) | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports- Can't add anything.
