Watched Fight Club last night. After this past week of hockey, who hasn't been...
The beginning of a new week. And some other holiday. Apologies for the recent lack of posts, but hopefully the Wild's winning ways have kept your hopes up. As always, you can write a guest blog, follow First Round Bust on Twitter and I hope everyone had a great weekend. Enjoy!
Minnesota Wild:
-I have to be honest. Don't really see this outdoor practice going down given the weather this week. It's going the way of my skates, stick and a half-dozen bruises. Until next year outdoor pickup hockey. RIP. (USA Today)
-Ms. Conduct's first trip to the X. Oh and the Aeros played there yesterday. (The Third Intermission)
-Andrew Brunette gets given a silver stick for appearing in 1000 games. Oh and some other nonsense about the playoffs. (Pioneer Press)
-...we are, yeah I said it we are. In all honesty, this is one of the more amusing blog posts about the Wild I've read for a multitude of reasons. (CBS)
Prospects:
-Jason Zucker is the fourth-best western college hockey prospect (Western College Hockey)
-And in case that didn't get your hopes up on Zucker or you are new to the blog, he's also a hit. (Pioneer Press)
-Two Wild prospects. One hot, one not. Guess who is who. (Star Tribune)
-Dan touched on it yesterday, but RIP Tyler Cuma's left knee. (Star Tribune)

College and HS:
-Mariucci is the most somber college arena? Somewhere the AIC fan feels robbed. (WSJ)
