Wilderness Walk 11-1-2013: Game Day Edition

The Wild take on the Montreal Canadiens in tonight's tilt.

By Tony Abbott@OhHiTony Nov 1, 2013, 8:00am CDT

The Wild hope for a better result against the Montreal Canadiens tonight.

Basically, a lot of people are getting healthy, and they play tonight.

Montreal has a 8-5 record, led by their outstanding goaltending, along with the offense Tomas Plekanec, Lars Eller, Alexander Galchenyuk, and ~~not-as-deserving-as-Ryan-Suter~~ Norris Winner P.K. Subban.

We'll see how it shakes out.

On to the Walk.
