Sticking up for a Teammate

The wild learned something in their game on saturday night. The wild faced an aggressive Nashville Predators team. The Wild and the Predators faced off in four different fights on saturday night. Two, of which involved Minnesota Forward Craig Weller.  "It is one of the few sports you can do it (fighting) and get away with it; five minutes (of penalty time)," said Weller, who has seven fighting penalties in only sixty nine career NHL hockey games. Minnesota's, Derek Boogaard, who is not afraid to drop the gloves, said it was the first game of this season that he could think of in which the opposing team came out especially aggressive. Seven penalties were given out in the first period alone, five of which were assed to the Nashville Predators. Sticking up for one another on the ice makes players play better. When they are out there they have a peace of mind. That is what makes the wild so good.
