I have been a peripheral Hockey fan for about 5 years but have become a regular the last 2 seasons. I am a Pittsburg Penguins fan because I live very close to there AHL team and have been able to watch quite a few players come up to the Bigs.
Last season, I started to become a Wild fan (second team favorite). I know this sounds weird but part was because of the Viking connection and another part is there uniforms which I think are one of the best in the NHL - Like the Vikings! My Pens got knock-out of the playoffs early last season so I was then honing in on the Wild because I didn't care about any other team. But then the Wild got bounced shortly after my Pens.
This year I was watching my first Wild game (national broadcast) and this rookie kid Kaprisov just jumped off the screen within 2 minutes of play. I actually called my son, away at college, and said to him you have to watch this Kaprisov kid. I think he won/or will rookie of the year. I now know that I really know hockey when this kid jumped out within 2 minutes of me watching him...even before he scored a point. They are on tonight up 1-0 over Vegas. My Pens are down 1-0 to the Islanders. Good night of Hockey for me to look forward too!
