By Aaron Holm -
Good morning Wilderness! The weekend is upon us and the weather here in the State of Hockey has been unseasonably warm a good portion of the week. Really cannot complain about 70’s in late October. Now if only this Saturday morning rain would die down so I could let the dogs outside. Right?
The Wild traveled up north to faceoff against the Winnipeg Jets last night, and they certainly looked like a team that hadn’t played and NHL game in about a week. Defensive lapses galore along with the Wild’s injury situation and they just did not have enough in the tank to hold on to a lead and were eventually topped by a late game-winning goal from Blake Wheeler. Jerk is supposed to be one of us.
Let’s get right into it, after our musical selection of course. Today I thought it would be fun to bring you a band called Greta Van Fleet. This singer is nearly a Robert Plant clone. Give it a listen here. Good bluesy rock with powerful vocals.
