Hockey Wilderness Podcast- A Minnesota Wild Podcast

82 games are in the books, and it’s time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Barry Campbell of Hockey Wilderness sits down with Tony to discuss the upcoming series, mostly from a Minnesota Wild perspective. We covered these topics: Niklas Backstrom stealing a win from Minnesota in potentially his final NHL game Does the Wild’s 5-game losing streak into the playoffs matter? What are we to make of the Wild’s streakiness since January? Parise, Haula, Vanek injuries Will Mike Reilly make the playoff roster? Tyler Seguin’s injury What does Minnesota have to do to impress you this postseason? As well as these Keys to the series: Will Minnesota’s defense be their strength? Can Dallas maintain two first lines if Seguin’s hurt? Can the Wild avoid turtling with a lead? Is Antoine Roussel going to take Minnesota off their game? And much, much more.

We’ve got not one, not quite two, but basically two podcasts for you, all wrapped up in one kick-ass package. The first was recorded Sunday morning, before the Wild clinched. Joe, Chris, and Tony sat down to discuss everything leading up to the Wild’s loss to Winnipeg, including: The Duncan Keith suspension Do the Wild really play down to their competition? John Torchetti wanting the Wild to be more offensive And then once they clinched on Tuesday night, Jack joined Joe and Tony to discuss everything else. Minnesota clinching a playoff spot… only because Colorado is terrible Should Wild fans feel good about making the playoffs? What will it take for Minnesota to pull off an 8-seed upset? Re-evaluating the Brent Burns trade The Wild’s comments after clinching the playoffs Patrick Roy calling out Matt Duchene for celebrating his 30th goal Frozen Four Preview If YOU want to have your questions, reactions, or opinions on the show, call into our Hot Take Line and leave a voicemail letting us know what you thin

It was just one week ago that we didn’t want to talk about the struggling Minnesota Wild. Weirdly enough, it turns out that a 5-game winning streak gets people more excited to discuss a team. Who knew? Joe and Tony sat down on Easter Sunday to discuss every aspect of the Wild’s hot streak, including: Zach Parise re-discovering his scoring touch Devan Dubnyk carrying the team Niklas Backstrom’s return to Minnesota Nail Yakupov trade rumors Which Wild player has been most disappointing? Looking ahead to post-season match-ups Looking at recent college signings: Mario Lucia, Nick Seeler, and Alex Petan Everything you need to know about LASIK surgery If YOU want to have your questions, reactions, or opinions on the show, call into our Hot Take Line and leave a voicemail letting us know what you think!

After a two-week absence (work stuff caught up to us, sorry!), Joe, Aaron, and Tony sat down to discuss all the recent happenings with the Minnesota Wild (even though they've been kind of a bummer).

First impressions of David Jones Devan Dubnyk and Darcy Kemper are struggling. Do the Wild have a Goalie of the Future? Is it time to give the keys to this team to the young players? Which Wild prospects can we expect to turn pro this summer? We’re asked to make a case for each of us to be the next GM of the Wild… so we did… Pierre-Marc Bouchard retired this week, and we ended the podcast remembering his time in Minnesota.
