Wilderness Walk 11-9-2013: Game Day Edition

Hello, Wilderness!

It it finally that time again. Yup, it's time once again for a Wild game day.

The Wild are coming off what shouldn't have been a loss to the Washington Capitals 2 days ago.

Tonight, the Wild conclude their short east coast road trip with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Can the Wild calm the Hurricanes (see what I did there?) to come out with a win and break even in this road trip? We'll all find out tonight.

Game time tonight is also 7/6 central just like Thursday's game.

On to the walk!
