been a lifelong Wild fan here (former North Stars fan too) and yesterday's news was like hearing that Minnesota got a team all over again. It was just that exciting for me and I couldn't stop talking about it yesterday. All I wanted to do is go home and move Parise and Suter to the Wild on NHL 12 and start a GM lol
