Often times you see a hockey game in which you hate to see a team lose--i.e.
both teams play so well that both teams deserve to win. Hmm.
 
Last night's Minnesota win over Wisconsin (5 to 4) was a game that both teams
deserved to lose.  I may sound like Pat Reusse, but this has got to be one of
the most ATROCIOUS hockey games I have EVER seen.
 
Wisconsin players falling over each other, Minnesota players falling over each
other, Minnesota players falling over Wisconsin players, Wisconsin players
falling over Minnesota players; it looked like the Keystone Kops on ice.  I'm
not trying to take pot shots at either team, but it just was not good hockey.
 
Honestly, if either of these teams thinks they're going for a title of any
kind, they better wake up.
 
Maybe the rivalry is causing them to concentrate on cheap shots, rather than
on what they should be doing.  Granted there was some good play, but not much.
 
I'm interested to hear what others think.  I hope tonights game will go back
to some of the basics of hockey.
