| Wild vs. Red Wings post-game, Aeros updateBertuzzi celebrates his 1,000th game as Red Wings prevail in 2-1 shootout win over the Wild Written by Derek Felska | 20 February 2011 Last week, it was Hockey Day Minnesota (as well as Hockey Day in Canada), where it was a 13-hour celebration of the game in the State of Hockey but today it was Hockey Day In America as well as the Heritage Classic in Canada. Hockey fans around the nation were supposed to don their favorite hockey sweaters and enjoy watching hockey going on all throughout the day. Well that certainly is more than a good excuse for me to spend a day watching hockey. The weather has decided to cooperate as the air again turns frigid and the region gets blanketed with a downpour of ice and snow. So much for that mid-February thaw that turned the outdoor ice in Moorhead to slush in their 2nd game. No matter what, as the playoffs get closer and the trades continue to happen throughout the league the level of intensity and the importance of each game is that much more apparent. As the legendary college and pro coach 'Badger' Bob Johnson would say, "Its a great day for hockey! so will the Wild manage to earn another two points against the Red Wings this afternoon? (click on the link for the rest of the article) This was probably the first time in a week I was able to focus on hockey. Not bad effort by the Wild, too bad they didn't get the 2 points. Backstrom certainly played lights out. Enjoy! | |
