It's been a while since we were involved in a good, old-fashioned stakeout. But we decided to accompany a very enthusiastic Michael Russo to the MSP Airport over the lunch hour in hopes of catching NHL free agent and noted ONE OF US Zach Parise arriving on a flight from Toronto. Fortunately, it was not a wasted trip; about 25 minutes after we got there, Parise and fiance Alisha Woods came very casually down the escalator toward baggage claim. Unfortunately for Wild fans and the rest of the NHL folks hold their breath, Parise said he has not yet made a decision on where he will play.

You can watch the video we shot with Parise, who said he was heading back to Orono, where he has a home. Please also enjoy the sight of our thumb in that video as well. And please consider us for all your future stalking/stakeout needs.
