For all of you folks on the Twittersphere, and even those of you who aren't. In case you hadn't noticed, hockey fans across the NHL think Kyle Wellwood is a giant fat-ass.

Questions to Answer

Will the Wild be the first team to 10 losses, this time?
Will the time off have a negative effect?
Does putting a solid Nick Schultz on with Brent Burns allow Burnsie to get into the play without causing too many problems for Nik Backstrom? How about ZZ Top?
Seriously, where the hell is Pouliot?
How long will James Sheppard be allowed to center that line, not perform, without someone else taking his minutes?

OK...

The Twitter thing is cool. How did you do that?

Oh, I will be at the game, with no way to comment. No creds again, but I have a ticket, so they can’t hold me back now. My phone isn’t cool enough to post comments. Ugh.

Enjoy the game Wilderness readers!

Ummm…I know why the PPP guys did it…they had Wellwood on their team when he was waist line challenged.

But I really don’t get how the Wild would want to keep the joke going.

Besides the fact that that he is one of the fittest guys on the team this year.

Seems a little silly is all.

Oh well…yeah…should be a great game.

Bieksa on the 1st line should be interesting.

The earliest use of the word with the spelling we recognize today is found in "L'Acadie: or Seven Years' Exploration in British America" by James Edward Alexander, published in 1849:

We also met a lusty fellow in a forest road with a keg of whisky slung round him who called to us 'Come boys and have some grog, I'm what you call a canuck"

It's funny

Has nothing to do with anything other than the hilarious theme on Twitter

Proprietor of Hockey Wilderness - We take Minnesota hockey WAY too seriously.

I know nathan…just that he came in so healthy.

The T.O fans sure enjoy it though…go to PPP for some good ones…they have a whole thread of Welly fat jokes!

No worries on Raycroft though…has definitely not sucked though…so far
