THUNDER BAY, ON, Canada- There are two things that drives the Timberwolve's GM nuts more than anything in a hockey team. Getting shutout and completely dominated. Both happened on Tuesday night against the Havana Moon in a 6-0 game.
-
"Tonight washes away anything good we've done in the last few games," said Timberwolves general manager, Blake Wendt. "This was just a lazy, bad contest for us. The fans that continue to fill this barn every night deserve to see a better effort from our side. They didn't get their monies worth tonight. That's for sure!"

Tuesday nights game began with a somber tribute to a young hockey player that never got to live up to his full potential. The Timberwolves, Moon and 19,434 fans in the Canadian National Gardens observed a moment of silence in rememberance of the OHL's Windsor Spitfires captain, Mickey Renaud. Renaud collapsed at his home in Tecumseh, Ontario on Monday and was transported to Windsor Regional Hospital with no vital signs. Resuscitation attempts failed and he was pronounced dead around noon. Mickey Renaud was only 19.

If there was one player that suprised the Timberwolves coaching staff and teammates alike. It had to be the Norwegian, Patrick Thoresen (pictured). Thunder Bay is not a team that shies away from the fisticuffs. But when a rookie like Thoresen drops the mitts, it's something to talk about around the water cooler the next day. But when he drops the mitts twice, against guys named Vandermeer and Simon... and WINS?! Well, that's something to write home to mom about.

Thunder Bay native, Eric Staal had quite a homecoming. Staal scored two goals, an assist and almost completed the "Gordie Howe Hattrick" when he got into a shoving match with Dustin Byfuglien. No dice though, as both players were seperated before things escalated.

The Timberwolves homestand continues tomorrow night as they take on the Victoria Ronin. Then have one day off to travel to Sweden to take on Karlstad on Friday.
