If Prince ever wrote a song about his home state’s illustrious hockey history, Saturday’s three-OT thriller between Eden Prairie and Duluth East for the class 2a title would be his muse.

I have no idea whether, like most Minnesotans, Prince enjoys hockey, but he loves muses.

Check out how this contest ended…

I would go to the Minnesota high school hockey state finals before I’d go to game seven of an NHL finals.

Deadspin has a video where you hear one of the announcers say this was a horrible way for this game to end. They watched three periods and 2+ OTs worth of this game, and I watched a shift, and I still say that guy is wrong.

Tweet this at Chuck Klosterman and help get his reaction.

Not quite sure where this is from. The YouTube info is sort of cryptic (chick gets smashed)

The title is Walpole hit. So maybe this is out of Walpole, Mass?

Anyway, less wasting time with worthless deductive reasoning, more watching two girls ice jousting – with both losing to the boards.

You think I’m joking… I am not joking.
