Good morning Wilderness, and welcome to today's generic titled Walk. So the prayers of many a scorned Minnesota Wild fan have apparently been answered, yet at the cost of one Charlie Coyle. Jason Zucker will return to the Wild as Coyle will be sidelined for a few weeks with a sprained knee.
I'm sorry, but that just plain sucks. Sure it's nice we have the kind of depth that we can just call on Zucker right now to fill a hole, but Coyle going down has got me bummed. Of course it could have been worse, but the Wild will need to make sure this injury does not linger. A sprain sounds pretty minor for most, but these things can linger and ruin an entire season.
So speedy recovery Mr. Coyle, but please do not try to come back too quickly. Your spot is safe, just get well.

A good read, here's a little blurb to get you into it:“In my conversations with parents, who both have kids that play, and don't, I see a few reasons that hockey isn't growing as fast as it could. The first (as Jeff pointed out) is expense. The second is the *perception* of violence in the sport."
