Wilderness Walk: Are We There Yet?

With football on the airwaves and dominating the discussions at the water cooler, the longing for hockey has reached new heights. But we're now within a month of training camp starting, so there's fresh hope in the air.

So, Wilderness, this is your warning. Summer vacation is starting to wrap up, so get your body to the beach, get on the boat, and get it all out of your system - the temperature is going to start dropping and will continue to do so until ice once again graces the floor of the X.

BUT WAIT: THERE IS NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Tom Petty says it best... Waiting is the hardest part.
