Memo to the Wild: See above. Helping other teams make the playoffs is not a good thing to be doing right now. You guys are sucking at life, and I want to know why. You blew a division lead in a week. LAME.
Calgary is on top of the division right now with 80 points. The Wild are tied with the Flames, but Calgary has a game in hand. Colorado is breathing down everyone's necks, and Vancouver is one spot out of the playoffs. With 13 games left, I expect this team to really step it up, but from I can see it looks like they are giving up. With three straight losses to teams that they should have been able to beat, and before that losing to teams like the Caps, it's really not a good sign in my mind. I'm not if full out panic mode yet, but I'm getting there. Jdoghooey mentioned that the sky was falling in the comments on 18,568 Reasons Why, and it might be a little bit. We need a Wes Walz to step up and peel the paint off the walls and get the guys going again. Carney, Hill, Schultz, Fedoruk, the stick boy, SOMEONE needs to do something. Rolston has been sucking at life. Parrish has been battling injuries, several of the young guys have disappeared altogether. Backstrom and Harding are getting bombarded every night, and players are having huge, costly brain freezes. Mikko Koivu seems to be the only player on this team really interested in playing right now.
All that being said, here's to hoping for an awesome game on Sunday and an interview with Joe Thornton by someone like Tom Reid so we will all be entertained. For an opposing viewpoint, you can check out Musings of a Radical Redhead or Battle of California.
Twins: HA! I am finally mostly caught up and have a clue what's going on. Sounds like the guys are ready for the season to begin, and Gardy is his usual self. I watched the Twins beat the Yankees the other day, and it was lovely. Once the Twins started winning, the announcers really had no idea what to talk about, since I don't think they know most of the players on the team. (Not that I can really say a whole lot about that.) I almost like not having Santana around for the one reason that I don't have to hear every three seconds about how he's going to the Yankees. The Mets are much more tolerable.
Margee will be doing a Squeeview of all the teams in MLB coming up soon, and Ckim, Finny, and McPhizzle have a new podcast up.

And now the Avs are tied with us.
And it doesn't help that the Sharks have won 8 in a row.
Hmm, remember when we had a 6 point lead? It seems like so long ago...
We are down to 7th place. It seems that great minds think alike. I posted something similar to this on my blog today as well.
It will be ok
You should give your team another pep talk because, yeah...
Thanks for the podcast plug! I give you a mention re: Skoula's OT goal. haha...
Elise-*sigh* The Avs just keep getting better.
To make it worse, the Sharks have been awesome on the road all season.
I know, right? Those happy times of being really awesome seem so distant and fuzzy in my memory.
7th PLACE?? I just checked TSN like three seconds ago. Hmmm.
Bethany-maybe...it would be more ok if we had scored Mike Peca from you guys.
Ckim-Clearly my pep talks are not working. Maybe I'm giving too many of them. I should try the Joe Sakic tactic of saying only a little, and calculating my words to have maximum impact.
no problem!
I'll have to check this podcast out, I'm intrigued as to what you said about me.
I didn't say anything bad! haha, but Finny and I agreed it's our best one yet because we finally know what the hell we're doing.
I echo your frustration, Kirsten. This is truly pathetic. I mean, where has that home ice advantage gone? The Wild had been such a good team when playing in front of the home crowd.
I will say more in one of your newer posts, but I can tell you I'm not a happy camper just like you aren't.
