Wilderness Walk for 12-11-2011

Just like any other group of people, 99.999% of Canadians are stand up folks. The other .001%? Self important, arrogant jackholes that so very much pride themselves on being experts, yet turn around and admit ignorance of even the basics. Well... some of that small percentage admit their ignorance. Most just cling to old story lines and pretend they are learned.

I won't say it's not the same on this side of the border. It is. Just making an observation.

With increased notice from the media will come some really dumb articles, comments, and statements of fact. You all know better. It is with great pleasure, I give you today's Walk.

Wild News

Taffe Reassigned To Houston | - Great run. Come back anytime.

Charley Walters: Secret to Wild's success: sum greater than their parts - TwinCities.com - indeed.

Fox on NHL: The best team no one notices - sportsnet.ca - Mostly a good write up. Love that all of these media outlets have to start at the very beginning, since they haven't written anything all year.

Off the Trail

And hey... enough with the jerseys. No one cares if you like them or not. Don't like it? Don't buy one. Otherwise, shut it. They aren't for you, and the people they are for don't give a rip what you think of them. I'd say go buy a Leafs sweater and cuddle up with it, but oh... that's right, you can't even earn the respect of the team you get paid to cover.

So many Canadian media that love to talk about how much they know the game. Yet so many can't name five players on the Minnesota Wild. I think I can name at least 10 from every team in the league. Likely more. And I don't get a dime to do this.

Great job. Too bad you couldn't get in how boring they are. You'd fit right in.
