So, last night's game was total weak sauce, and it bumped the Wild down to a decidedly un-robust .500. The Wild are currently out of the Stanley Cup playoff picture, and that's also a bit of a bummer.
But as Isaac Brock once said, "Well, all's not well, but I'm told that it'll all be quite nice", and it will! Probably!
The Wild also have some relative patsies on the way in Buffalo, (maybe) Dallas, (probably) Winnipeg, and Florida. So cheer up, Wild fans! Remember- Mike Yeo sees you when you're sleeping. Believe and have #faith in him, and you'll get good presents for Christmas. Waver in your #faith now, and you won't. It's just that simple.
Oh, and Manna From Heaven- don't even bother getting on board with the #faith train. You've had so little throughout the year, no late-year surge could possibly save your ass from getting some Yeoletide coal.
(Yes, I'm doing Christmas jokes, and it's not Thanksgiving yet.)
On to the Walk.

Wild notes: Firing doesn't surprise Iowa coach | Star Tribune- It was definitely a bad run, so no, I wouldn't imagine he was shocked at this news.
Why Kurt Kleinendorst Was Let Go - Articles- Homepage - Wild Xtra- While I've no doubt Kleinendorst "lost the room", I think people in general are over-estimating the roster of the Iowa Wild. There's some good forwards, but few established veterans that are actually good at hockey, and that defense is very thin.
