Call me a homer, but can we stop and appreciate all that @RussoHockey does to add to our experience as Wild/NHL/hockey fans? Covers the team like a blanket, but also even just the *recent* features: Rossi, Sturm/Turnquist, Racicot, and now Boogey. Amazing. Bravo. Thank you, Mike.

When Rossi scores at home one side of the X should chant “Marco” and the other side should answer “Rossi” back and forth for a while.
