Minnesota Swarm at the Xcel Energy Center

It is rare we shed light on the happenings of the Swarm, Minnesota's Lacrosse team.

However, on Friday the Swarm took over the Xcel in a game where they overwhelmed the Edmonton Rush 10-9. Following the win, Evan Kirk made 46 saves in his National Lacrosse League debut to power the Swarm to a 9-6 win over the Rochester Knighthawks on Sunday!

Minnesota is now sitting at 3-2 after winning their second game in three days. The win over the Knighthawks snapped a five-game losing streak that Rochester had over Minnesota.

I've never been to a swarm game, but I have a coworker who finds the games to be a ton of fun and fan-friendly. Not to mention, she said the Swarm roster is quite attractive! I'm making it my goal to go and check a game out before the season wraps up... who know's, maybe I'll meet Mr. Lacrosse.

Xcel Energy Center May Calendar

The Xcel Energy Center is quiet for the Month of May. With the Minnesota Wild knocked out of the NHL Playoffs and the Minnesota Swarm Lacrosse team knocked out their playoffs, the Xcel Calendar looks rather bleak for May 2008. In fact, the only event scheduled is the May 22nd Rush Concert. I feel bad for the businesses down by the Xcel this time of year because it must be really quiet. Does anyone else think that the Xcel Energy Center just isn’t scheduling as many shows as they used to? It seems to me that the Target Center (read my Target Center blog) is more busy than it used to be and the Xcel is less. hmmm.
