Due to the generosity of one of Samantha's co-workers, we had the chance to enjoy another Minnesota Wild hockey game. To my extreme enjoyment, they played the Detroit Red Wings, a favorite for many years. The game was terrific, with rallying and decent stick handling. Enough goals were scored in the new NHL, and though the Wild ultimately suffered a loss, we had a terrific time. Samantha is shaping up to be quite a hockey fan, and it is a joy to cheer our team on together.
