Quick walk today. Need everyone focused on the state tournament. Oh, and I guess there is a Wild game tonight.
Game Day Wild News:
Lackluster play befuddles a couple of Wild veterans | StarTribune.com - Russo's game day article. Includes some good quotes from Bruno.
Wild might counter recent soft play with 6-foot-8 bookends Derek Boogaard, John Scott - TwinCities.com - Against Detroit? So, they want to lose 7-0? I guess that's cool.
KiPA's Korner:
Hitting The Post: NHL Recap 3-10-10: Rookie leads Sabres; Devils chase King Henrik - Henrik Lundqvist sucks. I don't care if it is for a game or the whole season. I have him on four fantasy squads, all of which he is a liability on.
Enemy Links:
freep.com | Red Wings | Detroit Free Press - Detroit News paper.
Winging It In Motown - Staying classy as always, they prefer to go back and dredge up old arguments that they weren't even part of. I guess that's easier than focusing on the fact that for the first time in forever, the Wings are on the outside looking in for a playoff spot, got killed by the team that is in front of them, and have struggled with the Wild all season. Since the post over there aims to belittle rather than form a coherent argument, the readers are, of course, eating it up.
Enjoy the tourny today. Big schools take the ice.

Wikipedia has a different definition of charley horse than what I expected
A charley horse is a popular North American colloquial term for a painful contusion of the quadriceps muscle of the anterior or lateral thigh that commonly results in a muscular hematoma and sometimes several weeks of pain and disability.
Damn. That sounds bad.
The term “charley horse” is also used to describe simple painful muscle cramps in the leg or foot, especially those that follow strenuous exercise.
That goes along with what I believed the term to mean.
If you actually read the post...
it does not belittle you at all. It also forms coherent arguments and…you guessed it…does talk about the Red Wings situation in terms of the playoffs so I’m not sure where you’re going there.
And if the “staying classy as always” part is intended to be sarcasm, you haven’t been on our site all that much have you?
Maybe the real Buddha can help out a little:
“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”
Let it go, man. Just let it go.
I’m actually not holding on to any anger at all. In fact, if you remember I was kind of on your side for some of it.

Not sure I remember that part. The part I remember was 25 or so people acting like children, calling names, and attacking me and my family on a personal level, all because I did what I have a right to do, express my opinion. Then, after being pushed and pushed for hours and I snapped back, those same 25 or so people coming at me even harder, as though it were a fun little game to have emails from family members wanting to know if they were really in danger or not.
But hey, I won’t put those emails out in public, so they must not really exist, right?
But thanks for bringing that up again for me. I can feel the support washing over me.When this all blows up again, make sure you remind your fellow Wings fans who fired the first salvo in this round, OK?
okay
I will remind them that it was me. But the whole thing started with you, remember.
And did I do any of that that you listed above? No, no I didn’t.

It's Amazing
… what the frail psyche will tell itself or do to recreate a story mere weeks or months after a challenging event.
You remember 25 or so people attacking you personally and threatening your family? You, the innocent poster who was just trying to champion the cause of free speech in this wonderful nation of ours before the legions of the unwashed and ignorant poured over the walls of truth and justice and drowned out the one pure specimen with the courage to stand up and tell it like it is?
I must give you credit for enduring the onslaught for “hours and hours” before pushing back and reverting to the same kind of personal and low-brow attacks of which you’re accusing so many of us.
I truly am sorry that you feel one person crossed a line and threatened your family. Unfortunately, with no corroborating evidence, I don’t feel personally like I can take your word for that, given your past instances of hyperbolic speech, unprofessional behavior, and now with your revisionist retelling of what happened in December. You don’t have to prove anything here, since this truly is a matter of your opinion until it becomes public record and the person who you say committed a crime is actually charged.
If it’s important to you that you are left to feel like a victim in the entire saga that’s unfolded since you fired the first shot, then I guess that’s what you’re going to do. Personally, I think getting up in arms about Casey’s post over at WiM is making a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, he brought up the original fight and he called it “fun”, but it’s a lead-in to a cleverly-written post, not another attack.
Besides, there are some of us out there who think that when the theme song to that show says “one is a genius, the other insane” that they’re referring to Pinky as the genius (after all, isn’t a megalomaniacal mouse bent on world-domination a little crazier than one who has found a way to create happiness for himself, even if he does seem a little eccentric?)
