Wild Win a close one in San Jose

Hi Friday readers, it is a ice filled slippery slope in the Twin Cities this morning. The Minnesota Wild won in a shoot-out againest the San Jose Sharks last night a game I turned off and went to bed because I thought they wouldn't win.

The Wild were tied 1-1 going into the third period and a early goal by Joe Thorton I thought was the end of the Wild, but they came back with a goal from Marian Gaborik in the third to tie the game 2-2. After an big overtime period the Wild went to a shoot-out and Brian Rolston put in the winning goal. The Wild did look better in this game than the Colorado game a few nights ago.

The Minnesota play the Coyotes on Saturday and look for the Wild to try to sneak off a win before they come back home and play the Los Angelos Kings. If the Wild can keep winning they might have enough steam to make it to the playoffs. Brian Rolston looks like he is having an career year, and look for the Wild to keep winning.

Minnesota plays the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night this is going to be a tough matchup for the Timberwolves. Look for the Timberwolves to win one of two this weekend.

Brett Hull is getting his number 29 Jersey retired at my old stomping grounds the University of Minnesota Duluth DECC tonight. He was a kid that nobody wanted and UMD took in with open arms. Nobody wanted him because he was the son of Bobby Hull and was diagonsed a trouble maker. He currently has a house in the Duluth and Dallas area and still skates in Duluth once and awhile, but his favorite hobby is golf.

Have a good weekend everybody and GO SEAHAWKS!!
