In this offseason news, rumor and speculation can run amok, sending the Wild faithful into hysterics over the slightest rumors and news that float about. But rest assured, Minnesota Wild fans, your former goaltender can catch a ball without wasting the world's most precious resource- beer.
Some other stuff to get to, as well. On to the Walk.
Why the United States and Canada should boycott the 2014 Winter Olympic games in Sochi- I'm reminded of, and side with, Patrick Burke's article form a few weeks back which said "HIstory remembers the athletes that showed up." There's certainly an argument to be made for boycotting Russia's Olympics, though, and reasonable people can disagree about the merits in either decision.

Unless it is disadvantageous to the Wild, of course.
