By Tony Abbott -
The Olympics have come and gone, and as you can see, we're getting back into the swing of things for the regular season. Right now, the news with the Wild is injuries. Who's got em? Who's coming back tomorrow? Who has to wait a bit?
But there's also time to look back. The Olympics aren't so far back in the rearview mirror that we'll abandon it today. It's also time to look forward. The stretch run starts tomorrow, and the trade deadline is about a week away. It doesn't seem like a move is imminent for the Wild, but you never know.
Not much more to say right now, so on to the Walk.
