If pressed for kind words about Minnesota or Minnesotans, the first thing this Curmudgeon would mention is that the people of this state get hockey. The appetite for the sport is on par with my own, and I do appreciate that.
After the dizzying crush of the holidays, as the New year's dawn reveals that lo, what we have to face is a crushing slog through January and February and a sloshing slog of March- it is then perhaps that hockey seems never so welcome. Next week, FSN will do their Hockey Day-Minnesota (an idea borrowed from the Canadian Broadcasting Company's Hockey Day in Canada), a celebration of the sport at all levels and venues. In February, the CBC will have their own fete.
Today, though, there is hockey a plenty for me. A Bruins matinee, and a full schedule of hockey tonight, including Hockey Night in Canada... If ya want to find me, I'll be at the house, watching hockey.
