Wildly Biased Show: Week #6

Well hello again, podcast fans! Welcome to Week #6 of the Wildly Biased Show!

The Wild sandwiched a divisional loss around two victories last week and Trevor & Phil are back to recap all of it. Between the wins & losses they find time to discuss just what's wrong with the Ducks, the future of California hockey, Jason Zucker's franchise-record fastest goal, Darcy Kuemper's struggles, Zach Parise's work ethic, Devan Dubnyk's knee, what's going right with the Edmonton Oilers & who's going to come out of the Pacific Division, Ryan Suter: Textbook Hockey Player.

They also take their monthly long, hard look at the Central Division standings. Can the Preds continue to dominate with D? Will the Stars goaltending hold up? Do the Blues have any idea what they're doing? Do the Blackhawks care about the regular season at all? How scary are the Jets? What's the point of the Colorado Avalanche?

They wrap the show up with a trip around the NHL. Talking about the Habs first loss, the Blue Jackets first win, Evander Kane's unwillingness to show remorse, Jeremy Roenick's alligator wrestling, and the passing of original St. Louis Blue Jimmy Roberts.
