Stahl's (sp) goals were nice. But I tell you, I haven't been this excited and wound up over a game in a couple of months lol.

Now, not belabor my light hearted post but....
The official maximum capacity of the Xcel Energy Center (Wild home rink) is 17,954
The Wild's average attendance is 19,010 (well over capacity)
The official capacity of Amalie Arena (Lightning home) is 20,500
The Lightning's average attendance is 19,092 (sadly, under capacity)
Source: 2017-2018 NHL Attendance - National Hockey League - ESPN or you can use hockeydb.com and probably arrive at the same answer.
Just sayin.
ETA: I wonder what percentage of those Lightning attendees are snowbirds from Minnesota?!

Air Force Academy is a four seed in the NCAA Frozen Four. First round matchup is against St Cloud State.
Yeah was pretty big news around here. He plays with a few guys I used to play with in the competitive league at our rink.
My friend from college plays for the Jets so the banter in text that they couldn't score on a men's league guy was great. My buddy had the point blank attempt that he couldn't put away.

Awesome story.
The dude is just chillin' watching the game when:
Blackhawks: "Scott, we need a goalie!!!"
Looks at his buddies...
Scott: "Hold my beer."
LOL!
Don't care much for the Hawks or their so-called fans but that was an awesome story.
Avs blew a two goal lead yesterday in the third. I mean, come on.
