We've all been anticipating the start to the 2010-2011 season, and the first two games with the Carolina Hurricanes in beautiful Helsinki, Finland.

With that in mind, the Minnesota Wild are offering a fantastic package to see the games in person at the Hartwall Areena (no, that's not a typo)

Here are the details on the trip

We are excited to announce an exclusive travel package in partnership with AAA Minneapolis to watch your Minnesota Wild take on the Carolina Hurricanes at Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland to kick off the 2010-2011 season.

This unique experience will include round trip airfare, four-star hotel accommodations at the Crowne Plaza Helsinki, transportation, exclusive experiences in the city and lower-level tickets to both NHL Premier games against the Hurricanes on October 7 and 8 at Hartwall Areena. We look forward to seeing you in Helsinki!

Travel packages are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Depart: Saturday, October 2, 2010
Return: Saturday, October 9, 2010

Air Inclusive Package

$3,624 per person based on single occupancy

What better way to get the best analysis possible than to have a Hockey Wilderness presence at the games? Who wants to start a fund to send Nathan to HelsinkI to start the Wild season in October? We're only $3600 away!

what about chargin for the playoff pool?

Then the winner could join Nathan in Helsinki for said games. If there are 200 entrants, it would be $30 each to cover the expenses.

Just an idea.

While it could be a good idea to charge for the playoff pool

I don’t think 200 people would pay 30$ to enter :S

I pledge to contribute one cent for every dollar you raise. Indeed, I am in full support of this effort.

Best comment on Russo's Rants in awhile:

what? rid Sheps?
Sheppard is a 3rd line center. not art ross contender. Sheps is zillion time better defensive player than Wellman

PAINFUL.

So a zillion equals one goal and one more assist, right?

Haha I saw that one too!

Just because Welly accidently deflected a shot in his own goal, it certainly isn’t as bad a Shep scoring about 30 points less than he should’ve… last year, the hockey new magazine predicted about 50 points from Shep…
