Why don't you purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka?

I been dope, suspenseful with a pencil
ever since Prince turned himself into a symbol...

Like most of Colorado, the SG jumped on the Avs' bandwagon last night and was treated like it was 2001 all over again as the home team won an OT thriller over the Minnesota Wild 3-2.

We won't front and breakdown much of the game (Theodore was good, Foote was the man) but rather comment on the opposition, the Minnesota Wild. The Wild as in "rarrrrr," we're animals. Not "Girls Gone Wild," although that would be bad ass...super bad ass. Avs- 3, Foraging Animals- 2.

Whoever came up with the name and the color scheme of that franchise must also work for the Holiday Stars on Ice. It looked like the Avs were playing Santa's Elves out there, and that massive Derek Boogaard dude? He looked like Will Ferrell in Elf. Avs-3, Peppermint Sticks-2.

Back to the name: Wild. There was no better name? Norwegian heritage! Dang, that's taken. Lots of lakes! Shit, they play in LA now. A type of wolf that is also a lumberjack? Oh yeah, so close, the local NBA team has that. Twin cities! Damn, Kent Hrbek just phoned that one in. The home of Prince! Now that would've been perfect, The Minnesota Revolutions? The Minnesota Darling Nikkis, The Purple Rainers, The (Undecipherable symbols). Avs-3, Blouses-2.
