Sure, they're only 2-0, but the Minnesota Wild are off to the best start in the history of their franchise. According to Stats writer Matt Becker, "Minnesota (2-0-0) erased an early deficit on Saturday in rallying to defeat Nashville 6-5 at home. The Wild, who have opened a season with consecutive victories for the first time in the team's six-year history, scored a franchise-record five power-play goals in the win." Can the Wild beat Vancouver tonight and keep the streak alive?

I just turned 32.. I watched (from home) the last playoff series against the Penguins. Somewhere I've got my old white STARS jersey. Wish I had one of the green ones, even though looking back that was the ugliest color.

I *did* cheer when they won the cup down there and Jamie Langenbrunner and Derek Plante (Derek was a late addition to the team and saw a little playoff ice time) brought the Cup home for us to all see for the first time.

I haven't really paid attention to them after they traded Jamie to New Jersey, AND we got the NHL back where it belongs.

Lots of chatter about minnesota right now.

It's really funny that for a few years, all the media talked about was Fernandez being traded away from the Wild because of Dwayne Roloson. I always figured Roloson would be gone, since Manny is Jacques Lemaire's nephew.

There was a great St. Paul Pioneer Press interview with Manny a couple weeks ago and it's over at Topix.net now.
