The Minnesota High School State Championship between Moorhead & Minnetonka had a larger attendance (19,648) than ANY NHL game on Saturday (19,070).
This truly is my favorite stat of every hockey season. Such a testament to the fandom and support of the MN hockey community
FREEDOM RINGS: 104-year-old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli, who fought at Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge, wowed the crowd by performing the National Anthem on his saxophone at a New York Islanders game.
Critelli, a staff sergeant who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a child, spent 151 days in combat during World War II, earning three Bronze Stars.
One final message to the Minnesota faithful from @derik_lecaptain γ½οΈπ
LeCaptain played in his program record 63rd career game tonight at the @RateBowl
