Wilderness Walk for 1-16-2011: Game Day Edition

A reminder to start your day. Just because you can shovel snow and yell into your cellphone at 6AM, doesn't mean you  have to. Are we all clear on that? OK, good. 

I don't often write that I feel the Wild have little hope to win a game, but I really do not feel they have much hope to win this one tonight. Yes, I know it is the Canucks, and yes, I know the Wild traditionally get up for games against the Canucks. After watching Borat in the last game, I just don't see him having what it takes to shut down the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, and the rest of them. 

The team may step it up, and play an amazing game. I wouldn't put it past them. However, Backstrom has always come up with huge games against the Nuckleheads, and I just don't see that out of Borat. Sorry, I just don't. I hope they, and he, prove me wrong.

While you are waiting, check out the Facebook Question of the Day. It'll be fun, and painless. I promise.
