Saturday's Dump & Chase: Reinforcements Finally Arrive!

Our new friends from across the border finally made it to practice yesterday, and I must say it's good to see Franson back in the right colors. Whatever you thought of the trade, you'll have plenty of time to switch bandwagons during the last twenty-odd games, but either way it sure is great to have the undeniably best blueline in the NHL (can you hear me from all the way down in 10th Suter and Parise?) Speaking of those beautiful standings, wallah! Enjoy a snowy weekend everyone, drive safe, and hoard all the bread and eggs!
