08:24 AM ET 09.28 | Having missed so much hockey lately, thanks to a knee injury, Zach Parise is more eager to play than most. Parise, who is throwing ideas around about having a charity game to benefit Defending the Blue Line on Oct. 28 at Mariucci Arena, says he has an opportunity to play for a team he wouldn't disclose in Switzerland and he will make that decision soon if the meetings this weekend appear to go nowhere. "Keeping our fingers crossed," Parise said. ... "[At] some point, you have to worry about yourself and make sure you're ready to play." Remember, Parise said a few weeks ago that because he missed so much time with a knee injury a few years back, he refused to potentially and essentially miss two out of three years.

I wish no one any ill will (alright ALMOST no one)
But I will have more than a wee chuckle at The Wild's owner and Parise if this guy does something that makes him unable to play here

I don't know who gambled the biggest, a fool with a bad knee, or the fool with the money
