Ahlberg: The Wild might be able to eek out some wins but at this rate they won't make it into the playoffs and if they do they won't go far. Many Wild fans are very dissatisfied with their play lately. It's just frustrating when we have a lot of talent but struggle so much. There's just no motivation on the ice lately.
As for your couriosity of why I wanted to learn Swedish, it has nothing to do with living in Minnesota. I've only lived here for six years. I was born and raised in Oregon. There might be a lot of Swedish immigrants here but most don't know Swedish which is cool because I can put rude phrases on my screen saver at work and nobody knows what they mean. :twisted: I have to deal with crabby people a lot. No, I don't have any Swedish heritage that I am aware of. My farfar was born in Germany. But to answer your question, the reason why I am learning Swedish is because of my friend in Sundsvall. I've known him for about eight years and it just hit me one day that we always communicate in English. I thought it would be fun to learn Swedish since I would have someone I could talk to in the language. He thought it was pretty cool and enjoys helping me out. Plus it gives me something to do when there isn't a hockey game on. And why not? German, French, and Spanish are the common languages to learn over here. I've never been one to follow the crowd. I do my own thing. :wink: And no, I don't have a serious man crush on Weinhandl. Just a hell of a lot of respect for the guy for personal reasons.
Don't worry, you guys didn't discourage me from writing in Swedish. I didn't have time for it tonight.
