Congratulations to the Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights on great seasons. I believe the newly formed Honda West division was the best division in the NHL. I would love to see that division stay but I also would love to see everything get back to normal next season, so I’m sure that means all NHL divisions will be back to normal. Before I go any further let me explain myself a bit. I was born in Duluth and moved to Las Vegas in 1989. My wife was born in Finland so I must admit she’s a bigger hockey fan than me. We did follow the Wild until Vegas got a team, and we went to two Wild games which was cool because we knew all the players on both teams. The Wild has always had Vegas’s number, they’re really the only team in the NHL that has done that, except for Montreal. Vegas first season was in the fall of 2017 shortly after the mass shooting at Mandalay Bay that claimed 58 lives. In their first home game Vegas gave a such a heartwarming tribute to the victims and as a result any remaining doubts I had of supporting this team quickly disappeared and I became an instant fan. Truth be told being born in Duluth my favorite hockey team since I was a child has of course been the UMD Bulldogs. If any of you make the trip come see the Wild play at T-Mobile Arena. It’s the best hockey venue in the NHL. Always a playoff atmosphere and always a large percentage of visiting fans. I remember a game I attended against the Wild in 2019 the Let’s go Wild chant in the 3rd period was so loud it was like their home. Fun night for visiting fans and their were thousands of them. Wild jerseys everywhere. Thanks for listening, until next season…
