Wilderness Walk for 2-4-2010

I will begin working on a game thread here shortly. It can't be that hard, right? I mean, Nathan does it. Shh... don't tell him I said that. He just had a baby, he's happy. Don't ruin it for him.

Short walk today. No game yesterday, so most of the news that is Wild related is about Steve Ott, and bah. Oh, and in case you hadn't heard, some guy named Ilya Kovalchuk looks to be traded very soon. But hey, Eklund said the Wild aren't involved. Which of course means Kovalchuk will be in Saint Paul by tomorrow. (No he won't. That was a joke about Eklund's inability to make a correct prediction.)
