Not much excitement today, so I'll give you this. The sound of a couple of these punches, then the head bouncing off the glass? Wow. What a beatdown by John Scott. This may be a better win than the one against Bolduc last season.

There's a few of these on Youtube, but Wild second-round pick Jason Zucker after a loss to North Dakota.

All of you bitter Americans can thank the Kurtenblog for this video. The fact that the guy has no idea what the "tunnel" is called and has no idea Rypien was suspended six games, not two both suggest this guy is not the brightest bulb. However, the line about the fan not being able to match Rypien's athletic accomplishments, coming from a guy who has to come in at 350+ is just awesome. Way to go, big man.

This video has found its way around the interwebz today, so I figured I would post it for reaction. What say you Wilderness? I was mildly entertained. Nice use of player names, it was catchy, and she can sing, so... Any thoughts out there?

Boogaard scores a goal. Apocalypse begins. Stick tap to @PeterJasonMN for the video.

John Madden shares his thoughts about fitting in with the Wild.

Replace the word "car" with "team," and it pretty much sums up what we have here. Just sayin.

Honda/NHL® Commercial-Outdoor Rink (via Honda) This is sweet. Rumor is it was shot here. Anyone happen to know where? Oh, and how good does Broten look in the N? Love the green sweater.

I always thought Belanger was tough, but that's ridiculous!
