Wilderness! Welcome to what some call the "Hockey Abyss." Therefore, the walk today will be a bit... what's the word... eccentric.
Firstly, the non-hockey news for the day: this past Saturday, everyone's favorite local soccer team welcomed the first ever English Premier League club to play in Minnesota, or to play against a club from Minnesota. Swansea City, from Wales, fell to the Minnesota United FC Loons 2-0 in the battle, meaning the Swans lost to the Loons. Great game, and you can read all about it in the Star Tribune HERE.
With the non-hockey news out of the way... let's get to the Walk!
By way of Musical Offering, enjoy one of my favorite YouTube groups... they're fantastic!

Wild News
To say "there's not much Wild news" would be optimistic... sorry for the small haul regarding our favorite hockey club... hopefully there's more tomorrow!
▶ Minnesota Wild Vs Colorado Avalanche. Game #7 WCQF. April 30th 2014. (HD)
Relive everyone's favorite 2013-14 game 7! It features non-called goalie interference, 4 comeback goals, and 1 go-ahead SNIPE from Mr. Knightrider. Added bonus: Av fans whine when it's referenced on the NHL network.
