It's Monday. Nothing good happens on Monday. It's like the powers that be sit around all weekend just waiting to deliver bad news until Monday. Jerks.

Today's Walk is rather short, with there being no game yesterday and with there being little hockey played at all. Plenty of prospect stuff going on, and, as mentioned above, some not so good news surrounding the hockey world. We may have to play a game of "find the silver lining" or something to cheer us back up after all this negativity.

Oh, who am I kidding? I thrive on negativity. Especially misplaced negativity. And it's Monday, a day ripe with misplaced negativity and bitterness. I love Monday. Make sure to check out the Question of the Day over on Facebook, then... make the jump.
