I lived in Manitoba for 7 hears before and after I lived in Europe. I was born at St. Boniface hostpital. I saw Star Wars for the first time in Winnipeg. I spent many summers bumming around the city by myself when I was a teen. Downtown, a matinee, the Museum of Man and Nature would fill my days. The Golden Boy, Portage and Main (the coldest corner is all of creation), Osbourne street - the grubbiest dead end street. No really, the is only one way in and one way out. And our relatives had a house right at the end of that deadend which was in actuality the back of a large Apartment building. So even sunlight doesn't reach the people who lived on Osbourne Street. Winnipeg was also the destination of the train I jumped on when I was 14. I knew how to get from the base to the city and back again by the base to base busing system.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-10475232899896388152011-07-07T23:00:41.553-06:002011-07-07T23:00:41.553-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-18235528579997810352011-07-07T21:49:56.342-06:002011-07-07T21:49:56.342-06:00Yay...so glad they're keeping the name!

I'm still saddened that when we lost the North Stars, they took the name with them to Dallas. As much as we love our expansion club here, there's no history behind them, and the "Wild" nickname is just plain dumb. If we couldn't get the North Stars name back, they should have at least gone with the St. Paul "Fighting Saints" moniker. <br /><br /><br />Now if we could just get them to move the franchises back to Quebec and Hartford, all would be right in the hockey world.Tom G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02738030990585120271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-53444550466698328332011-07-07T07:26:03.807-06:002011-07-07T07:26:03.807-06:00And it is damn well ABOUT TIME!!!
