Always On The Sunny Side

Yes it's true that the Twins magical ride ended with a train wreck last week. And the Vikings have about as much offensive fire power as U.N. peacekeepers (one side benefit to that is no longer having to listen to hacky announcers talk about "all the weapons" in the Vikings offensive arsenal as we did for so many years). And the Gopher football squad continues to major in finding creative ways to lose. The Timberwolves are already praying for that golden draft lottery ping pong ball. Heck, even the Gopher hockey team got off to poor start by losing to the hated Black Bears of Maine on Friday night.

But there is one brilliant ray of hope for the local sports fan. Your Minnesota Wild have flown out of the gate and opened the 2006-2007 campaign with a pair of victories. Only six more months until the Stanley Cup playoffs begin. So close we can taste it?
