Nope. The Minnesota team was the Minnesota Fighting Saints.
They played four seasons and folded in 1976.
don't wanna jinx it or anything... but the NYRangers are
still in 1st place

Halftime Show At Bruins-Devils Hockey Game Disrupted By Second Period Of Play
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ?-A combination marching band and pompom squad show planned for the halfway point of Tuesday night's Boston-New Jersey hockey game was disrupted by the continuation of on-ice play during the second of the game's three periods, Devils team officials announced Thursday morning. "I take full responsibility for the injuries to Bruins center Sergei Samsonov, Devils defenseman Brian Rafalski, and the trombone section of the Verona Marching Hillbillies, all but two of whom I'm told are out of the hospital," Devils Events And Entertainment Coordinator Janine Petersen said during a press conference at which she also tendered her resignation. "In seeking to provide a comprehensive sports-entertainment package for the whole family regardless of hockey knowledge, I failed to keep in mind the three-period structure of the game." Petersen, who has not yet been charged with any crimes, was hired on a trial basis by the Devils in September despite her involvement in the tragic halftime show at this year's Daytona 500.
From The Onion (satire, if you haven't guessed)
Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to say Alfredsson or pretty much anybody from the Sens....
Thrashers are stupid for trading Heatley away to Sens for Hossa and DeVris... not sure what they were thinkin... now Ottawa is more dangerous than ever before... not that they weren't before....
The game's faster and more exciting than it has ever been... this coming from a former hockey fan...
NYRangers are going to the dance for the first time in 7 years...
<weeping>
<gnashing of teeth>
yeah, "its called ruins"...
True dat.
What a miserable season! The Black-and-Gold need to find someone who
can turn this around. But even if they found him, would ownership give
him a free hand?

Weekes is a backup?
My Capitals are "rebuilding" for the 10th year in a row.
lundqvist, who's been struggling a bit since the olympics, has a 2.18 GAA, weekes 2.90.
not a bad tandem...
Not Giacomin/Villemure, but not bad at all.
just saying...last nights save on a breakaway was awsome.
Yeah, I didn't see the game, but I read the SI.com
article this morning. I need to pick a team to
follow through the playoffs.
has anyone been watching the 'hockumentary' on OLN?
last night they covered the period (pun intended) 1967-1996.
good stuff.
man, i miss those old goalie masks!
