By Aaron Holm -
Good morning Wilderness and welcome to another game-day edition of The Walk. A lot chatter around whether or not the Wild should fire head coach Mike Yeo coming on a day where the Minnesota Vikings did fire their head coach Leslie Frazier. All eyes in this sports market are now firmly fixated on coach Yeo, although I don't follow basketball so if whats his name is on the hot seat I would be the last to know.
At any rate, chances are Yeo will retain his job through the 2013 calendar year so you will see him behind the bench for tonight's early evening game. A reminder folks, the puck drops at 5 pm tonight as the Minnesota Wild welcome the powerhouse St. Louis Blues to town and try to engineer a miracle and kill this nasty losing streak.
Happy early new year Wilderness! Remember if you go out tonight stay safe and plan a sober driver if your plan is to enjoy an alcoholic beverage or 10. We very much would like to see you back here in 2014!
