Awesome article. My buddy who goes to the U worked at a bar that many from the gophers went to, said many of them weren't the nicest guys but that Haula and Bjugstad were two of the nicest guys he met on the hockey team and at school. Real genuine guy.

Yeah I took a geology class with a ton of athletes. Most of the hockey players are pretty reserved, but Nick was one of the few of them who actually talked to us "common folk"

[twitter=NHLFlyers :bbrzb8zu]Emergency recall Mark Alt prepares to make his @NHL debut this afternoon. #SJSvsPHI pic.twitter.com/fL99vv88gQ[/twitter:bbrzb8zu]

[hide:bbrzb8zu][/hide:bbrzb8zu]

Nick Bjugstad had back surgery and is out for the remainder of the year. Has been playing hurt for a while.
http://panthers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=760119

Alt was on the ice for about 10 minutes. Apparently, he didn't start out too well, but settled down. Holy moly the interview showing his nose :lmao:

The 23-year-old played a defense-low 9:25 against San Jose and showed his nerves in the first period. On the Sharks’ first goal, Alt weakly played the puck in the corner of his own zone, and then chased Sharks forward Chris Tierney around, allowing Tierney to get a quality chance.

Schmidt signed a two year one way deal with the Capitals.

Evan Kaufmann retires. The NWS has issued a flood warning because of the tears coming from Quick13's eyes.

Seth Helgeson signs 2-year deal with NJ. Two-way for first year, one way for second.

Seth Helgeson - one way for second.

Wild

Very nice, Seth. :dup:

Seems like he's creating a niche for himself in the NHL. Good for him!

Preseason started tonight, and Rau is in the Panthers split squad lineup with Bjugstad. Looks like they are playing on a line.

Ends up with two assists, including one on the OT winner.

Kyle Rau was an answer in last weeks People magazine's crossword.

He is way, way behind Okposo on my list of least favorite former Gophers.

What's the problem with Johnson? He's a bit of a hack, edgy player....that I wish the Wild had....

Edgy is great...Johnson is just a dick...

I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's had his dick moments, but I don't think that's his norm.

I was thinking... There's almost zero chance that tDon is the one doing the tweeting, right?

He does NOT seem like the tweeting type
