I hadn't heard the 'Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiildcat GOAL!' in about a decade-point-five, but I heard it thrice Saturday night. I was up at Berry Events Center with my best girl, nostalgic for Lakeview, when the Northern Sound Machine started belting Chase's "Get It On" and all was right with the world. By the time #29 Ryan Daugherty stole the puck in the defensive zone and walked in to score a game-tying shortie I was yelling too loud to even hear "Wiiiiildcat goal!"
There was also ice skating on Little Bay, which is glassy and perfect for pulling near-toddlers in plastic sleds. It was cold and windy Sunday, which limited the time we spent out on the lake, but still a lot of fun and a reminder that skating indoors is contrived.
