GOOD!!!
 
If he's good enough to play, I don't care where he's from.  Its time to
give up this crap about Minnesota-only and put the best players on the ice.
 I'm glad to see Lucia is going to do this.  Remember all that crap last
spring about how Lucia didn't go to the U of M and how this was such a big
deal??  Well, it hasn't changed much.  When his name is announced people
still cheer.  I imagine if Jackson comes to Minnesota and plays quality
hockey, no one will care where he was born.
