See what I get for thinking?

Gee, I thought at least one person who be willing to share a hockey story from Minnesota in exchange for this Wild puck signed by Minnesota's Mikko Koivu.

Need some ideas? I'm more than happy to help. Hmmm. Let's see.

Okay, here are three:

~ Minnesota hockey stories could be about Mike Modano, one of the North Stars better decisions. How about Brian Lawton, who, shall we say, didn't work out too well? Easy fodder, I'd say, in either case.

~ For old-schoolers, who are just as welcome as most everyone else here at Hound Central 4.0, any entry about Gump Worsley or Cesare Maniago scores bonus points.

~ Entries could even be impassioned pleas for a future Winter Classic in the Land of 10000 (Frozen-over) Lakes. Where could it be held? Inside the Mall of America?

While I'm at it, Hound Central 4.0 has yet to hear from the Steven Stamkos contest winner. Rmillerfan has until month's end to claim his prize. If not, we'll revisit the original entries.
