The Ultimate NHL Alumni Game in History - North Stars Vs Blackhawks - 4pm - 2-20

This may have been talked about but screw it. If you are a hockey fan, and were able to remember the 80's, you will know of the greatest and most precious rivalry in the history of the NHL. The North Stars and the Blackhawks.

Why is this such an awesome thing? Well, for starters, I haven't seen all these players on the ice together since I was a kid watching games at the old Met Center in Bloomington. 2? The hatred is so fierce you may as well get into a fight before the game even starts!

Willie Plett and Al Secord? In case you wanted to know how that always went down.

Secord hated Dino Ciccarelli. Can you imagine this happening today?

These guys are already trash talking. At 50-60 years old haha! Now, I doubt anything will happen (Hey you never know. These guys hated each other with a passion never seen before in the NHL)

If you are a Minnesota/Chicago hockey fan from the 80's, you NEED to make sure you watch the alumni game this Saturday at 4pm central. Some notables that will be on the ice.

It doesn't get any better than this right here. Child hood for all hockey fans from the 70's and 80's. If you are from the younger generation and haven't heard of any of these guys, just check out the videos above and even google more. You owe it to yourself to watch a piece of history on Saturday!

Nice! There is a bar near TCF that has a lot of Surly. Damn near all the different kinds. I forget what it is called ;( I'll look it up. You need to take them there so they have the full Surly beer experience.

Yep! That's the place. Thanks it was on the tip of my tongue and couldn't remember. Last time I was there I went with my cousin to watch a Gopher hockey game. They had Furious (Obviously), Smoke, Overrated, Abrasive, Hell, and a few others.

May have to sign Beaupre out of retirement. Dude was looking fantastic for 54 years old.
