Before I even begin, I would like to remind you that my wife bleeds Minnesota Wild so I may tread cautiously in my bashing of our rivals from the North. I also own one or two Wild jerseys and have made appearances at the X, even if the Colorado Avalanche are not visiting… BUT let’s be honest, I am an Avs fan and I hope they crush the Wild this season.
And to show my loyalty to the Avs, I usually like to remind my wife that the only banners hanging from the rafters at the X are the other NHL team flags, ONE Division Championship banner, and a retired “1” jersey for Wild fans.
