NATTY CHAMPS – DU beats Boston College 2-0 in Saint Paul
Denver with the come from behind victory over Boston University in OT, 2-1
Kinda rough to end up with Denver, BU, BC and Michigan – Goldy knocked out by BU, Bucky knocked out by Quinnipiac and UND knocked out by Michigan. That’s gotta hurt the per-cap…
There was another one with a shake and shimmy too – will have to wait for the official salad video for that
Thanks for the great commentary all these years – 2025 just won’t be the same without him
First year I’ve missed The Tourney in a while, but the iPad setup will have to do this year
Wild shut out the Islanders @ the X, 5-0 (and Marc-André Fleury passes Patrick Roy for #2 all-time)
SK’s first game of the season @ Xcel. Wild lost 3-1, but had half of their salary out injured
Big thanks to Jim and his crew for hosting – Wild beat the Oilers, 7-4 (and a hat trick for Hartzy)
Al Shaver, the hall of fame hockey broadcaster after whom the Xcel Energy Center press box is named, turns 96 in three weeks and is doing fine living on Vancouver Island…

Big congrats to the Vegas Golden Knights – if it can’t be the Wild, happy to have it be Vegas
- Somebody forgot to renew their Nitter cert yesterday
- My Mastodon feed is much better after pruning a few people
- The Wild are in good company – didn’t expect Boston and Colorado
- This May Day wind is outrageous – the house is literally rattling
- Hope Saint Paul decides to reopen Shepard Road soon
A few thoughts from last night:
- After decades of fandom, I need to be less emotionally attached to Minnesota sports teams. Still love ’em, but wow.
- Despite my support for Mastodon, I’m not confident in the backend tech stack and organization. This commentary from Justin Garrison, in particular, is very thought-provoking.
- “When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle”
Buffalo chicken fries at the X (section 123), Wild versus the Seattle Kraken (5-1, Wild get the W)
Not sure how many MSHSL games he’s doing this season, but very happy to see him today on the 45
1) Post.news has not evolved the way I thought it would 2) I don’t like any news app more than their mobile site and 3) late start, mid-week Wild games are…not optimal
