By Christopher Boyd -
It's a beautiful day, Wilderness (probably... right now it's the middle of the night). The sun is (possibly) shining, birds (might be) singing, and flowers... well ok, they're dead probably.
...
well, that was a downer. Oh well!
We now are in a bit of early-season purgatory. The Wild don't play again for many days. That does not, however, mean it's a slow news day! We have all the reasons in the world to celebrate. We're off to an 2-0 start, our 24-year-old keeper has kept a shutout for almost 2 hours (just 16 seconds short, technically), there'll be a new podcast recorded this week, we just resigned a 21-year-old defensemen... put simply, the Wild are TOO HOT TO STOP NOW (cue music)
