Wild Clinch

Myself, and over 18,500 of my close personal friends witnessed history last night!

the Wild claimed the Northwest Division title for the first time Thursday night with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over the rival Calgary Flames.

Fittingly, it was the Wild's only original player, Marian Gaborik, scoring two third-period goals to break a 1-1 deadlock and send the sellout crowd into an absolute frenzy during the final 2 1/2 minutes.

And a frenzy it was. Now off to the playoffs, after we complete the regular season on Sunday. We have a Cup to win!
