After suffering from serious lethargic symptoms brought on by the snoozefest that is Minnesota Wild hockey, the Avs had no time to grieve the loss of their winning streak. They got on a plane and flew to Dallas, to face the Stars the next night. Mike Modano felt no sympathy, and got his revenge against [...]

Tonight’s matchup between the Colorado Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild marks their final game against each other during the regular season. The Wild beat the Avs like burgundy-headed stepchildren early on in the season, winning the first four games these two played, before the Avs finally earned their first win against them, a 4-3 victory [...]

That’s probably one of the most exciting games I’ve seen in a long time! Seeing a game like that is exactly why love the shootout and go against all the hockey purists who would rather have seen the game end in a tie. The shootout is kind of like democracy – It’s a pretty bad [...]
