Good morning Wilderness, to those of you still without power I hope you are not using up the last of cell phone battery just to read these words. Bravo to you for the commitment though!
Last night the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins mainly by the hands of one Patrick Kane who scored 2 goals including the game winner and very nearly had a hat trick without the assistance of the empty net cheater version of the accolade sometimes given out.
The Bruins will find themselves in a difficult but familiar place Monday for game 6 back in Boston, just 60 minutes from a terrible end to the season. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone: Hawks in 6.
In non-hockey news, your Minnesota United FC was in North Carolina last night. With the help of 2 late goals from the Carolina Rail Hawks, MUFC was defeated 3-2. Next up for the club, they travel to Edmonton for a match on June 20th against FCE.

Uhg, more goalie speculation. It makes me wonder how the talks are going with Backstrom. Only Backstrom, Fletcher and the NSA know for sure what is going on there.
