Thanks for being division buddies
I am going to miss playing the Flames as division opponents partly because I love seeing the atmosphere in Calgary - even on my TV - but primarily because I enjoy bantering with you lot.
I'm sorry, for what it's worth, that the Wild hasn't been a more entertaining division foe throughout the years, but hopefully games between our two teams will only get more interesting.
Good luck as your team evolves, and in the new division. I'll continue to look forward to our match-ups and to hanging out here. And I'll get up to Calgary for a game sometime, too.
A few of my strongest memories against the Flames during the Wild's tenure in the NW:
*Iginla's 500th goal.
*The time the Wild was winning 3-0 or 3-1 (in Calgary, to boot) and Stephane Veilleux (of all freakin' people) decided to let Phaneuf kick his butt in a fight, which sparked the Flames who ended up winning the game.
*The Wild clinching their first (and only) NW division title against the Flames, in St. Paul.
Cheers!
