Wilderness Walk for 11-13-2010

This is ridiculous. I'm up at 5:14 AM? Uncool world, uncool. It is snowing outside though, so Russo should enjoy that when he gets home. So many people in Minnesota with no love for snow. I couldn't be happier right now. I love snow. It'll probably melt because I said that.

The Walk is pretty focused today. Good video found by @KnowsKnothing of the Burns incident. I think he probably gets two games for it, but you just never know. I could see it being more, I could see it being less. Stupid move by Burns. Flat out stupid. Here's the video:

per @RussoStrib: Brent Burns currently on conference call w #nhl regarding butt-end last night, says team source

It didn’t look intentional to me. Just really, really idiotic move by Burns. If he was going to get into it with Bernier at the end, should have dropped the stick first. His stick got looks like it got in the way, but it could have been avoided if he dropped the stick when Bernier dropped the gloves.

It was a scrum. It was unfortunate. Not like Bernier wasn’t in the mixing it up.

And the latest: @mnwild: Chuck Fletcher just off phone with NHL, tells media Brent Burns suspended 2 games. Fletcher: “there was clearly no intent to injure player.”

also, Fletcher: “We totally support Brent.” Zidlicky skating today back home. If he feels good, he will be on 7pm flight to Tampa
