Wilderness Walk for 10-25-2010: Game Day Edition

by BReynolds on Oct 25, 2010 12:32 PM CDT in Wilderness Walks

Whatever you do in life, don't start a morning link post on an SBN site, and then get sick and not post it at its usual time. I appreciate the concern folks, really I do. I'll be fine. Eventually.

Today's Walk is relatively short, but you do have the added fun of create-a-caption. So there's that. Also, don't forget to answer the Facebook Question of the Day.

Video of the Day:

Chris Garner is the equipment manager for the University of Minnesota - Duluth Bulldogs Hockey Team. He recently needed a bone marrow transplant to save his life, which was successful, and now he needs help so that the medical bills do not ruin his life on the back side. There is an auction, which can be found HERE, with some very cool items, many of which still have no bids on them.

Check it out, buy some cool stuff, and help a good cause.

Wild News:

Penalty-killing duty falling on few | StarTribune.com - Kent Youngblood covering for a day off for Russo. Looks like some of the moves to keep Mikko off of the PK aren't working out as well as planned.

Wild pay the price allowing power-play goals, but they lead NHL in power-play scoring - TwinCities.com - Bruce Brothers with his take on the Wild's special teams.

KiPA's Korner:

Benching Works, Kind of - Kovalchuk played. The result didn't change.

Off the Trail:

Yesterday, we introduced you to the 2011 Mediocrity. Here is another video, just because we can. Enjoy.

"The 2011 Mediocrity is here. Set your expectations accordingly." Sigh.

What stood out to my in Youngblood’s atricle was the phrase “security blanket” in regards to how Richards feels about Miettinen and Koivu on the PK. That statement really bothers me. Fletcher brought in a lot of dynamic defensive forwards, yet continues to tirelessly use Koivu and Miettinen. Give Koivu a rest! I understand that he’s one of the best 2-way forwards in the game, but we have a ton of defensive minded forwards on the bench so that Koivu can show his offense a bit.

I don’t know if it’s even effecting Koivu up to this point, but the season has hardly started and this could end up taking a toll on him.

As for Miettinen, I think “security blanket” sums it up pretty well for him in Richards’ eyes. I don’t think we’re gonna see Bouchard on the top line this year unless Richards isn’t the coach.
