By Ryan Compeau -
There is hockey to talk about!! Granted it is just the Prospects Tournament going on in Traverse City, MI but it is still better than nothing. For us Wild fans its a time to see the future of our organization go against other organizations for a weekend tournament. After two games, the Wild are 1-1, however are tied with the 3 other teams in their division. Game 3 is Monday afternoon against Dallas at 2:30 CT.
On our walk with us this morning, I’d be upset if I didn’t have a Mac Miller song to get you through the reading on this Sunday morning. RIP Mac. Thanks for all the great tunes you put out, like this one.
