I told 'em, but nobody wants to listen to the lowly old sportswriter.  

Before we continue, Russo Radio back on the air tonight at 6 p.m. CST on KSTP (am1500).  

The Wild arrived at the Lightning's practice facility after a 15-minute dress-and-drive --three words all NHL players hate. It's when you dress at the arena, but because of let's say, a Smoky Robinson Tribute (not kidding) makingthe arena unavailable,you then have to bus to another rink for practice in full gear.  

That's not the hard part.  


It's the bus ride back that really STINKSbecause players return to the arena wearing nowwet, smelly gear. Let's hope the charter bus company buys Purell by the barrel.  

So, when the team arrived to the practice facility, I went up to a few players and trainers and asked, "you sure you're on this rink?" because when I attended the Lightning practice a few hours earlier, I was told the Wild would beskating on the next rink over.  

"Yup," everybody told me.  

Suddenly, as practice was about to begin, a youth mom came running out and screamed, "Guys, you're on the wrong ice."
