The Minnesota Wild have this wonderfully goofy nostalgic streak, from their defiantly garish fashion sense to their official team theme song. What, you haven't heard the Wild Anthem, which is played inside the arena during home games and "is a continual reminder of the pride we have in the game of hockey and the communities and lives it touches throughout" the state of Minnesota? The song that gave the world lyrics like, "The game's in our blood/And our blood's in the game/Lay us down under/A frozen pond?"
Presented correctly, the Wild Anthem is a rather majestic and moving tune. Presented by the Wild fan below, it's about as majestic as a Derek Boogaard left hook to the chin. I'll give him points for energy, some more points for knowing most of the words, and a few extra points for fantastic use of props (both gloves and hat); but he gets a big fat demerit for even attempting to hit a high-note.

Eminem should stick to rapping. I figured he'd be a Wings fan anyway.

Greg Wyshynski is an ass. I read one 'post' (I refuse to call anything written by this douche and article) and that's all I will ever. I will endeavor to mock Greg Wyshynski whenever possible.
Mr. Greg Wyshynski, keep your comments professional and to the point and only speak on what you know.
Shame on the NHL, Yahoo and any other media outlet that pays for your trash.
