Wilderness Walk for 11-4-2011

Hey Wilderness... I think we may have mentioned this, but perhaps it is time for you to join and donate to the Hockey Wilderness Movember team. You know you want to, and you know you're going to. You may as well just do it and get it over with. We have some pretty lofty goals this year, and right now, we are no where close. Won't you help us?

Wild News

First, let me share a little trick I learned about paywalls at newspapers. If you link directly into a story, it counts towards your monthly limit. If you go in from another source, say Google, Twitter, or Facebook, it does not. I am not sure if linking from here counts or not, but if you run into a pay wall somewhere, Google the article or head to FB or Twitter for a link from the author. I am told that will get you around it. Also... go buy a newspaper. Or buy the digital access. It's worth it.

Wild has offensive explosion in blowout of Vancouver Canucks | StarTribune.com - Some places the story of the game is something else. Here, the story is the game. 5-1 over the Canucks. Harding has given up two goals in three games against two of the highest powered offenses in the league. THAT, my friends, is the story.

Video: Cal Clutterbuck punches linesman in the face | ProHockeyTalk - Let's get this out of the way. You will see this everywhere today. I have included the video, but we will not make it its own post. It's a total non-issue. It was an accident, as the refs determined on the ice. Nothing else will come of it. Linesmen get hit when they try to break up fights. It happens, and it is part of the job. Moving on.

Enemy Perspective

Canucks describe loss to Wild as 'the worst' - The worst. Worst. You gotta love that.

Nucks Misconduct - Always a good visit.

Off the Trail
