Slowly getting better. Big week this week. Powering through a bunch of work and then off to Chicago to visit ElGuapo

Nice. Enjoy Chicago and have fun with ElGuap. Looking forward to this years Stanley Cup brackets. Go Wings!

Go Wings, indeed. They need the encouragement. Didn't even look like a minor league club last night. Btw, while we're on the subject, we could make a potential NC meetup start out at RBC center. I've got a great ticket connection there. I know insomniasexx is a hockey fan. We'll have to see about the dates.

Glad to see hockey fans on Hubski. I'm in Minnesota and a big Wild fan. We're looking good so far this year. But cups going to go East this year, everyone in the west has a tough travel schedule.

Wild are vastly improved form last year, but there are a lot of good teams in the West. Saw Parise notch his first for you guys yesterday, so that has to make you feel good. I think this is the year Detroit's epic playoff streak ends.

Oh it was nice to see Parise notch his first goal after the record contract and then the extended waiting period to see him take the ice. We're all super excited about Parise and Suitor. Heatly stepped up and looked great Saturday night and got a couple too. I like our team this year. I expect with all the new talent it will take some time for consistency, but they are hustling more than I've seen them in years. We'll see. Minnesota sports teams have a track record of starting out strong and then disappointing mid season. We'll see!

Other than my home team I've always been a wings fan. Used to always go to Northstars/Wings games when I was a kid. Was a huge Federov fan. Only teams I really root for are Wild, Flyers, and Wings.

I loved the North Stars when I was a kid, because Modano is a local hero in the Detroit area. There are a lot of great players from Michigan, but I think he is the best. LaFontaine was amazing, too, but I'll always be a Modano fan.

I'm planning on coming out the second weekend of April, unless another weekend would be better. I forgot to book my tickets since I was sick.

Hell yes.

And I would like to meet this connection :)

He lives in Detroit with the rest of the Canes contingent. they're a Detroit owned organization.

Cool. That's a great idea.
