The Minnesota Wild are really romancing Marian Gaborik and I really can’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to risk losing a player like him. Apparently, Wild president/GM Doug Risebrough and assistant GM for hockey operations Tom Lynn, actually travelled to Slovakia to meet with Gaby and used stats and “inside information” about their plans […]

I’m on the plane on my way home from Los Angeles/Anaheim where I’ve been for the past week. Actually, I stayed about 10 minutes away from the Honda Center. Since I knew hockey wasn’t as big in California, I told my son that we might be able to score some sweet deals on NHL stuff […]
