That's a long layoff for hockey fans, but we'll be here a long the way to keep the vibe going. The news stream may slow down, but we will find plenty to talk about here in the Wilderness. So whether you turn your attention to another sport to tide you over, or fall completely off the internet during the hockey black hole, just remember that we will be here to help you survive.
Still plenty to talk about today, please enjoy this tasty musical treat as we Walk:
