January 30, 2013: Back and Then Some
My scheduled eight-hour shift turned into a twelve-hour shift yesterday on my first day back. I know some of y'all do that on a regular basis, but on the first day after a long break, that was a hell of a thing.
hockey or basketball: a full plate tonight
Columbus (2-3-1) at Minnesota (2-2-1) 7:00 pm
TV: FSN
Minnesota lost in overtime to a strong St. Louis team. It was a winnable game, with the Wild going up 3-1 in the second and to see the defense collapse. Ryan Suter is now paired with rookie Jonas Brodin. As noted in the last game log, the lines 2,3,4 need to chip in with some scoring.

well, its been a struggle lately for Tubby's squad. Turnovers have killed this team all year, and it finally bit them when they played some of the stronger B1G teams.
