Hey Wild fans, I'm Lake Martin. I've been a follower of the boys in green and wheat since 2016. I hopped on the wagon after making the transition from Arkansas to Minnesota and discovered the beauty of hockey. I can't wait to share my thoughts with y'all and hear your thoughts on the State of Hockey.
