I don’t know if you’ve heard this already, but after their win last night over the Chicago Blackhawks, the Minnesota Wild are the top team in both the Central Division and the Western Conference overall. The Wild are in the Top 5 in teams for total Goals For and are tied with the Columbus Blue Jackets for the best Goal Differential in the league.
The regular season isn’t over and the Wild will still have to turn this regular season success into playoff success, but for the moment, this is a pretty fun position to hold.
I recently discovered that Avery Brooks, an actor most noted for his work in Star Trek: Deep Space 9 as Captain Benjamin Sisko, has released several jazz and blues works including his own cover album Here in 2009.
