Wilderness Walk for 2-13-2011

First things first - make sure you head out to X today. Aeros play at 1PM, Wild signing autographs at 11:30 ($10 per table for charity), Aeros signing autographs for free after the game. This is not something that happens everyday, folks, don't pass it up. If you are going to pass on the chance, the game will be streamed live on Wild.com.

Back to our regularly scheduled programing, the Wild played a great game last night, eh? Dominated the scoreboard, dominated the physical game, dominated everything. This is a team that wants it, and we have seen how dangerous they can be when they want it. Imagine where they would be if they could have found this passion in October.

Before you head to the X, check out the Question of the Day, and read up on Defending the Blue Line's Skate for the Troops. We only have one person thus far signed up (that I know of). A team of four can win lunch with Brent Burns. Seems like a pretty good prize to me...
