Folks, it's been a few weeks since we did a show and we're making up for lost time by breaking down three weeks worth of Minnesota Wild hockey.
The boys have gone 4-3-3 since we last spoke and frankly, things are trending in the wrong direction. We break down the Wild's suddenly impotent defensive corps, the struggles of Devan Dubnyk, the advanced statistic of "Save Percentage," treading water in the Central Division, how well the Wild coped with the absence of Zach Parise, Matt Belesky's slashing of Jason Zucker, Travis Hamonic's struggles with geography, the disappearance of Nino Niederreiter, the throwback-to-the-90's style of the Winnipeg Jets, Nate Prosser's attempt to avenge Zach Parise's injury, the Jason Pominville Goal Watch, the new All-Star Game format, and the Wild's Stadium Series sweaters!
We also touch on Phil's trip to Seattle, his undying love of seasfood, the San Diego Chargers imminent move to Los Angeles, the difficulty of driving across the Canadian prairie, everything that's wrong with the city of Pittsburgh, the un-killable legacy of the North Stars, the history of the Wild's sweaters, the prevalence of Marquette basketball fans in Minneapolis, and the real MVP of Thanksgiving!
Also: Phil kills a bug live on the air. Solid episode all around.
Be sure to check back for next week's episode as we recap the Wild's games against the Stars, Blackhawks, & Leafs. We'll also discuss anything else that comes up during the week.
As always, feel free to drop us a line here on the blog or via e-mail (WildlyBiased@gmail.com). You can also hit us up on Twitter (Phil at @Phileeeeeeep and me at @WildlyBiased). We'd love to discuss the Wild, the NHL, or, really, whatever you feel like talking about.
