Hello, Wilderness!
In case you're wondering why I'm doing the Walk today instead of Tony, it's because me and him swapped days because he wanted to get a little more sleep last night.
So now this means you'll be seeing the Walk from him tomorrow.
And yes, I did indeed carve that awesome Wild pumpkin that you see in the photo above in case you're wondering. What do you think of it? Personally, I thought I did a decent job with it.
Ranting and pumpkin talk aside, I'm now going to give my thoughts of last night's game (even though I didn't get to watch it; I did keep track of it via my phone). Last night's game was more of the same story we heard before. They outshot their opposition (up until the end of this game), and came up short. What else is new?
The end result: a 3-1 loss for the Wild.
Today is an off day for travel purposes because tomorrow they'll be in Sunrise to take on the Panthers.
If they play their cards right, they should be able to pounce all over them (I've been waiting to say that for a long time now).
Let's take a walk now, shall we?

Wild notes: Cooke wants to be penalty-kill solution | Star Tribune - With the way he's been playing ever since we acquired him, he could be the answer to our less-than-adequate PK.

Penguins extend Flyers' season-opening misery - The Sports Network - Man. Good night for Pens fans last night, but not so good for Flyers fans. I actually kind of feel bad for all those Flyers fans out there now.
Blues edge Blackhawks | News Tribune - The start of this season for the Hawks definitely hasn't lived up to that impressive point streak of last season.
