Good morning, Wilderness! What a great weekend it is here in the State of Hockey! The MSHSL tournament has been going on since this Wednesday, and the championships for Class A and AA are today at noon as well as at 7 tonight. On the Class A side, Hermantown and St. Thomas Academy will be taking on each other, and on the AA side, we have Edina and Hill-Murray. Who will you be cheering for? No matter who you cheer for, one thing that I know for sure is that we all will be cheering the Wild on to a W tonight as they hope to pounce all over the Predators down in the Music City. Let's hope they can bounce back from their tough loss they had against the Blackhawks on Tuesday. Enjoy the game, tonight Wilderness! Now, let's take a Walk:
Wild News
Minnesota Wild not utilizing their speed, analyst says - TwinCities.com - The Wild's performance this season has been inconsistent at best. Although they've had some strong points this season, things haven't come easy for them. If the Wild want to get a good winning streak going, they need to play aggressively every game. Simply put, we just need to have a strong defense, as well as more shooting and scoring.
