Wild Game

For his birthday, I took Liam to his first Minnesota Wild game. They were playing the Winnipeg Jets, in their first season since the team left for Phoenix(?) years ago. Lots of Canadians there, which made the game much more enjoyable.

My favorite part of the evening is when the Wild were up 3-2 and Liam was telling me how great it was that it would be the first time that we’ve been to a game (he’s listing them all) that our team had one. Just as he was about to finish the sentence, Winnipeg scored, so he stopped and went “Awww” in frustration.

Also, Liam hasn’t seen a hockey game before, other than part of one on a television last year up in Brainerd, so he was quite surprised, and a bit confused, when a fight broke out.

Warming up.

Buffalo’s old logo is still hanging. I wonder if anyone here even knows that it should be changed.

Last shot of the night. The Wild did end up losing in the shootout.
