Wilderness Walk for 10-5-2010

Not a huge Walk today, but there's some things to check out along the way. A couple articles about Mikael Granlund, Cal Clutterbuck's offensive explosion, and a visi from an old friend. Try not to strain yourself, or pull anything. The season starts in two days. We don't need anyone hobbled up and unable to watch on Thursday.

Also, want to give a thank you to everyone who commented yesterday on the "From My Mom's Basement" post. Always good to hear what others are thinking on a topic. Some agreed 100%, some, less than that. Seems everyone agrees on one thing: there is a problem. That's something, at least.

Enjoy your day all.
