HOCKEY
IS
BACK.
Kinda. Preseason hockey. The Wild lost 2-1, BUT the question “did your team have a good preseason” is secretly the same question as “did an important player for your team get injured?”. I’m not yet worried about the Wild beyond just always worrying about them.
In the meantime, hockey being back means: NEWS is also here! Yay!
So, let’s enjoy the pocket queen, and walk
