Bulldog On The Fast Track
The last NHL game J.T. Brown attended was with his Minnesota-Duluth teammates April 10, 2011, a day after winning the NCAA Championship. The Bulldogs had defeated Michigan 3-2 in overtime at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center, Brown was named the Frozen Four’s Most Outstanding Player and the Minnesota Wild invited the winners back to the same building to be honored before a game against Dallas.

Parenteau, a revitalized Kyle Okposo, Matt Martin and three young defenders in Andrew MacDonald, Travis Hamonic and Dylan Reese. Goaltending is solid with Evgeni Nabokov and Al Montoya. This franchise is close. It just needs additional scoring. The damage Mike Milbury inflicted is almost healed. ‘Johnny T’ is not as stranded as you make him out to be. Norm Misrok, Bellmore, N.Y. Fisherman’s Friend How come nobody has yet to say that the Islanders third uniforms are quite possibly the worst to ever be worn in an NHL…
