Poor Wild.

I got to go to the Wild game tonight with my bro Todd. They played, and lost to the Anaheim Ducks. (4-2) As I was watching the teams warm up, I never realised how many players the Ducks have that I LOVE to HATE!

Lets go through the list......

Doug Weight. A player I remember from my sports cards collecting days. He was always a decent player, but seemed to have a bully attitude.

Rob Niedermayer. A player that I remember from the '03 playoffs. When the Wild lost to the Ducks.

Todd Bertuzzi. A bruiser from the '03 playoffs, who played for Vancouver. During a Vancouver-Colorado game, on March 8, 2004, Moore fought Matt Cooke in the first period. Late in the third period, Bertuzzi began following Moore down the ice and tried to start a fight. When Moore ignored him, Bertuzzi grabbed hold of Moore's jersey, and punched Moore in the side of the head from behind. Bertuzzi then pushed him down headfirst into the ice.
After lying on the ice for several minutes, Moore was removed on a stretcher. Moore suffered three fractured vertebrae in his neck, a grade three concussion, vertebral ligament damage, stretching of the brachial plexus nerves, and facial cuts.

Chris Pronger. One word. Goon.

Bertuzzi had two goals tonight against the Wild. Every time he or Pronger touched the puck, though, the crowd booed. The only redeeming part of the game was the Wild's two goals in the second period. They were at 10:43 and 10:47. 5 seconds apart! Awesome! Oh, and Boogaard played. There was only one fight, and it was a poor excuse for one, too.

Ah well, still a good time.
