That dreamboat up there is Mikko Koivu, who recently signed a 7 year deal to stay in Minnesota. Thank goodness. He obviously feels good about the future of the team and young stars like Owen Nolan and Andrew Brunette, and loves the Minnesota nightlife and especially the Minnesota winters. The question becomes whether or not Minnesota will accept Mikko Koivu.
Will Minnesota warm to a Scandinavian with blond hair and a quiet demeanor who goes about his business and quickly signed a contract without any drama and appears to want to stay in the Twin Cities for the long haul? Boy, he’s just so hard to like and has so little in common with most Minnesotans.
Sidebar: If I saw Mikko walking down the street I would probably think he was a cousin of mine. He looks like about half of my family.
