First thing is first alright gals & guys. The Force Awakens has only been out a few hours so far. Please understand that not everyone has seen it yet so lets try to use spoiler tags (if you absolutely must talk about it) or refrain from saying anything besides "That movie is pretty fucking awesome Noogie! I'm excited for you going to see it on Sunday!"
Oh, I'm going to see it Sunday night by the way. 10 pm show in Burnsville, IMAX 3D (because of course!) so I'll join in the conversation at that point. But until then, this is me.
Anyways, on to hockey, shall we?
Man this team looks absolutely electric right now. Almost makes you wonder when the rug will get pulled out from underneath us. But lets not think like that, not right now at least! Today is a day of celebration! In the past 2 games this team has scored 11 goals from 9 different players. Koivu has scored not once, not twice, but thrice! On top of that they have scored 5, count 'em 5 power play goals.
All this winning and goal scoring, kind of makes you feel better, feel strong. Like you've finally shaken that November flu or something.
