Wilderness Walk for 10-3-2010

by BReynolds on Oct 3, 2010 7:30 AM CDT in Wilderness Walks

Yawn. I really detest the weekend. I have to work to pay bills on the weekend, and it really, really is not fun at all. Go to work, come home and do as much as humanly possible, all to jump up and work the second leg of the swing shift. Lovely.

Today's Walk has the Theodore saga, played out in Russo headlines, a fun video of Mikael Granlund, and a bit on the team the Wild will be playing.

Enjoy your day. I won't be.

Random Wild Video of the Day:

Missed from Yesterday:

Finnish isn't a line: It's a lifestyle for Wild's Koivu | StarTribune.com - Totally blew this one yesterday. Sorry Russo. Good stuff with Mikko Koivu discussing boat parties, Vodka and beer. Must read for any Koivu fan.

... and, of course, immediately after I conveyed that information to you all...

Update: Theodore to join Wild | StarTribune.com - Final step.

(Yes, I know some of that is repeat, but it goes to show the time line. Deal with it.)

View From the Lighthouse - Glen Andresen checking in from Finland.

Wild makes connection, lands Theodore | StarTribune.com - The paper version of the signing of Theodore. Including the line, "to stretch his groin and take some pucks." Ah, the language of hockey.

Skating surface hits new low | StarTribune.com - The truly is nothing cooler than a hockey rink with a niche. This is pretty cool.

Wild sign veteran goalie Jose Theodore - TwinCities.com - Brothers with his take on the signing.

Mikko Koivu's homeland steeped in hockey - TwinCities.com - Brothers with some insight into the background of Koivu. Let me sum it up for you: hockey.

Good gravy, the more I see and read of this kid it makes me excited for when he dons the red, green, and gold

I think you should change your signature line to read: “JS, Champion of the first ever Hockey Wilderness Playoff Bracket Challenges, and loser of the first ever Hockey Wilderness fantasy hockey league! WHOOOOOOOO!”

You know… just to get it our of the way.

Well yours should read: ‘’Bryan, dead last in the first ever Hockey Wilderness Playoff Bracket Challenge’’. BA-ZING!

You know… because it’s true ;)

I’m commish in the Acadian Hockey League, a fantasy league I created for me and my friends back home. I decided to try a 23 man roster (20 starting, 3 bench) and my team’s looking good! I also like my team in the hockey wilderness league.
