Welcome to "Matt Cooke Needs to be a Man" Day! It's an annual (or daily) celebration of just how stupid Matt Cooke is, and how toothless today's NHL is. Enjoy!

Random Wild Picture of the Day:

Random_wild_4_medium

Wild News:

Russo's Rants | StarTribune.com - Elk River native Nate Prosser is (as we speak) signing a contract with the Wild. An odd one, but hey, it is what it is.

California dream leads top prospect to Minnesota Wild | StarTribune.com - The quintessential Russo article on Wellman. Excellent quotes, good story, all around good stuff. Being the spoiled hockey fans that we are, we have come to take this type of article for granted. Don't do that. This is good stuff.

Wild signee Casey Wellman might jump right onto the NHL ice - TwinCities.com - What you would get from two newspapers if Russo wasn't here.

Game Day Enemy Perspective:

The Tennessean - Good luck.

On the Forecheck - SBN blog, and all around good people.

Preds on the Glass - You want to talk about good people?Head over here and read their stuff. Two of my favorite people in all of hockey.

KiPA's Korner:

Hitting The Post: NHL Recap 3-17-10: Devils sweep Penguins; Chicago keeps losing (players) - Christmas colors in NJ, huh? Took the focus of the Wild for just one day. Thanks Devs.

Cook(e)ing up a Storm?

All eyes on Matt Cooke tonight - BostonHerald.com - Wanted poster and all.

Making Sidney Crosby pay for Matt Cooke's sins - Puck Daddy - NHL Blog - Yahoo! Sports - Good stuff from Wysh, too. My bet? Nothing happens.

For those of you who can actually watch the game, enjoy. For the rest of you, have a great evening.

Bridgestone Arena

Section 104, row AA (glass)

I’ll be the one getting stabbed wearing the green 3rd jersey.

Come on now… Nashville is a good town. You might get a beer on your head, or a story about how their dog died, but stabbed… only if you say Garth Brooks sucks.

You’re right.. this place has been mostly nice thusfar, and I came into town wearing a green MN Wild shirt on St Pats day. The only exception being the Holiday Inn Select I stayed in last night — I have a bone to pick with Bill Shatner; naming my own price on a 3 star hotel shouldn’t involve a compromise of possibly being haunted by the spirits of all the hookers that have been killed in that room.

I’m in the Sheraton Music City tonight — infinitely nicer.

Now when it comes to Columbus tomorrow, I understand if I venture too far west of Nationwide Arena stabbing might be an actual possibility.

Nashville Blogs

I just wanted to echo the statements above. Both On The Forecheck and Preds On The Glass are written by two of the nicest people in the entire blogosphere. Great, great people…

I did an interview with Buddy back in a former blog life. He singlehandedly convinced me that Nashville is a hockey town.

Hey Buddha...

It is Role-Play Time! I am Matt Cooke…You be Colin Campbell. The game is…I, as Matt Cooke, list three scenarios, and something I did there…you, as Colin, supply the appropriate punishment.

Scenario 1: (Scene—SAT exam room)

I, Matty Cooke, was just caught taking my neighbors test by slough-footing them after the bathroom break. I was found out while I was changing the name on this test with my trusty number 2 pencil. What punishment do I receive test proctor Campbell?

Scenario 2: (Scene—Strip Club)

I, Smooth Matthew, was just pointed out by Cleo Shiraz (my former dancer of lap) that I placed my hands all over her during our private dance. What do you do bouncer Campbell?

Scenario 3: (Scene—crossing Washington Ave.)

I, not paying attention Matt Cooke, just walked out in the street and caused a vehicle of clergy and youth to break through the barrier on the bridge and plummet to the river and explode upon impact. Officer Campbell, what kind of a punishment can I expect??

Take it Mr. Reynolds…

1. No punishment. While you were caught red handed, you were simply “Testing with Passion.”

2. Being that you are a repeat offender in this category, I ban you from the building for twenty minutes. When you return, I move you to the Champagne Room.

3. Here, we have a clear case of injury. Thus, we could expect you to get a suspended license and perhaps a small fine for inattentive driving. However, since you “didn’t mean to do it,” the suspension shall be only a week. Since you now have no way to get to the game, I will personally pick you up and drop you off at the games, staying in attendance to ensure none of the children’s families believe they deserve retribution.
