Hola, from South Florida, where I’ve been soaking up the sun and been one of about three thousand in the stadium watching the scorching-hot Marlins.
The Brewers are slumping.
Wild defenseman Petteri Nummelin’s NHL career officially ended Thursday when his long-reported contract with Lugano in the Swiss Elite League was finally announced.
Remember, his agent, Larry Kelly, told me in February that he had signed a long-term deal to return to Lugano, where he spent five seasons before signing with the Wild in 2006.
Nummelin, 35, scored five goals and 29 points in 78 games over two seasons with the Wild. He also went 8 for 10 in shootouts.
