Wilderness Walk for 1-24-2011

by BReynolds on Jan 24, 2011 8:52 AM CST in Wilderness Walks

Hey everyone. Welcome to Monday, a day 99% of the Wilderness dreads, and yet somehow, I enjoy. The weekend ending means kids are back in school, football is over for the week, and life can focus on hockey again for a bit. I like Monday.

Not much happening in the world of the Minnesota Wild, at least not publicly. I would guess there are medical treatments, training sessions, and maybe even talks with the GM about trades. However, nothing overly exciting happening outwardly. We soldier on, knowing that as the Wild prepare menatally and physically to play the Hawks on Tuesday, we do the same.

We physically must go buy beer, and mentally prepare ourselves for both a big win and a big loss. Preparation, people. It's in our blood.

Pretty light Walk today, as there was very little happening with the team yesterday, and Russo is off galavanting again. By the way, SBNation's spell check does not know that "galavanting" is a word. That is your lesson of the day. Now, head over to Facebook for the Question of the Day. Oh... and maybe send us some new "fact" based tidbits for the HWRG2000.

I'm just gonna say it

I want to see Forsberg return, it will either be hilarious or awesome with an outside chance of it being both.

I ma disown you. OK, maybe not. But still. The return of Forsberg is a joke, so the only result can be hilarity. If it makes the Avs weaker, having given a roster spot to someone in an attempt to sell tickets, so be it.
