Hey, everyone!
There's going to be plenty of time for you to read about the Wild's loss against Vancouver last night ahead. I'll start out your day with a little bit of happiness.
Thanksgiving is here, and I don't think I have to tell you that Thanksgiving is about food giving thanks, so I'm going to do what everyone else is doing and make a quick Wild-related list of things I'm thankful for. If you want to add anything, leave it in the comments.
With all that out of the way, let's go to the Walk. And if you haven't yet, check out this week's Hockey Wilderness Podcast: "Nate Prosser = Cranberry Sauce"
