Might need to start watching Minnesota games. Kaprizov is a highlight reel machine.

That doesn't compute. "Minnesota" and "highlight reel"? What kind of trickery is this?

There were a couple of seasons where Gaborik made Wild games worth watching, but then his endless bouts with groin pulls ruined him.

Speaking of Annti Miettinen - he was one of the assistant coaches for Finland's world junior team this year.

I just now remembered that we have a fantasy hockey league.
