By Aaron Holm -
Good morning Wilderness! The Olympics are in full swing, the weather is finally breaking from this impressive stretch of unruly cold, and your Minnesota Wild return to the ice tonight to take on the New York Rangers at the X. There's an awful lot of garbage takes floating around the world of hockey right now, and that can only mean 1 thing. The transfer window is coming to a close soon and prognosticators are hard at work cooking up fantasy trades for their team.
In other news, Wild prospect and Eden Prairie native Nick Seeler will make his NHL debut tonight. The 24 year old left-shot defenseman will take to the ice in front of 18,000 of his closest friends and family, and Barry Campbell. (How was Baker Square yesterday?) Anyway, congratulations to Seeler. Stay tuned because we’ll be dropping a little profile on the kid this morning so you’ll know what to expect tonight.
Every once in a while you’ll discover a band that just absolutely sinks its teeth into you. This happened to me over the last few weeks. I just cannot get enough of these guys right now. Go ahead and turn this one up. When the guitars hit for the final chorus, I just turn to jello. Making their 2nd appearance on the Hockey Wilderness stage, please welcome Catfish and the Bottlemen!
