Um, really guys?
Before I start talking about this, I'll readily concede that this probably wasn't all that many of you who were A) there and B) partaking in this. There probably weren't that many people doing this. Regardless, I just gotta say something.
And that's DAMN, people.
If our Twitter account is to believed, and I've got no reason to doubt the credibility of the website that I write for, the Wild were at some point booed. By their own fans. In the pre-season.
I'm not the fan who objects to boos. I don't care about how the players take it. I don't think most actually care whether you cheer or boo them to begin with. You paid your money- if you don't like what you see, boo.
But hot damn, the pre-season? At least save that stuff for a time where it actually matters. Take the edmonton drubbing from last year, for example. A horrible night where everything spun out of control, with a playoff spot on the line.
A pre-season game versus Columbus, when your best players aren't even starting? Pick your spots, people.
On to the Walk.
