Hockey ping!
My two favorite teams are the Minnesota Wild and the Carolina Hurricanes.
I've been a 'Canes fan for about six years now. Watching them win the Stanley Cup was great - especially because I watched all the play-off games four years ago when they lost 4 games to 1 to the Red Wings.
The Wild started on on fire but with mounting injuries, they have been slipping. That need both Gaborik and Dimitra back on that first line.
OTOH, Carolina is not doing exceptionally well this year either. The Buffalo Sabres look primed to win the Presidents Trophy and secure the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
