By Aaron Holm -
I love hockey, and I loved the North Stars. I may have mentioned before how I used to watch games from home with a hockey stick in one hand and my baseball glove in the other making all the great saves along with the likes of Don Beaupre, Jon Casey and Kari Takko (one of the coolest names in hockey IMHO).
An entire generation of Minnesotan's have grown up now, not having ever seen a North Stars game. Not knowing what the old Norris Division rivalries were all about. The situation of moving a hockey team has been in the news here lately again, as the Houston Aeros have played their last game in Houston and seem poised to move North. It opens old wounds for some of us (even if I think our affiliate should be closer to home, I've never been a fan of moving a team). FUCK NORM GREEN!!!

Definitely a shame it sounds like Anisimov will miss some games for the BJ's. Wish the guy a speedy recovery.

DoPSJ shows a little consistency this time around, look for them to shake things up a bit with the next one though, well overdue for some stupidity.

Hopefully he does return and gives the Wild the shot in the arm they so desperately need.
