Wildly Biased Show: Week #12-13

That's a lot of cheeseburgers...

Well hello again, hockey fans! Welcome to a special double-stack episode of the Wildly Biased Show!

Folks, since we last spoke the Minnesota Wild played six games and took points out of them all. A 4-0-2 record in those games has left the Wild a mere two points behind St. Louis for second place the Central Division with games in hand on everybody else.

Phil & I are back to discuss the Minnesota Wild's success over these past couple of weeks.  We discuss all kinds of stuff.

-The surprising success of Darcy Kuemper & his long term prospects with the Wild
-The Jekyll & Hyde performance of the Colorado Avalanche
-The non-existent Niklas Backstrom trade market
-The arrival of Jarret Stoll
-The possibility that Erik Haula has hit his ceiling
-Thomas Vanek's continued excellence
-Marco Scandella's attempt to end Antti Raanta's career
-Mikko Koivu's Selke Trophy potential
-Whether or not we still hate the Vancouver Canucks
-Just how peculiar the careers of the Sedin Twins have been
-The Wild's inability to develop goalies
-Jason Pominville's hot streak
-The official retirement of Keith Ballard

After all of that, we take a trip around the league to have a look at the flotsam of the NHL.

-The end of Patrick Kane's point streak
-The fallout of the Board Of Governor's meeting regarding expansion & executive compensation
-The curious legacy of Pascal Dupuis
-The looming rebranding of the Toronto Maple Leafs & Florida Panthers
-John Tortorella's benching of Ryan Johansen out in Columbus
-The insane contract demands of Andrew Ladd, Dustin Byfuglien, & Jacob Trouba
-STAMMERGEDDON!

All that plus all the non-sequiturs, dead air, & obscenities you could ever want! As you can see, it's a fun week.

Episode #12-13 (12/19/15) by Wildlybiased on Mixcloud

We'll be back next week to discuss the Wild's trip down to Nashville and the back-to-back St. Paul appearances of the Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens. Going to be a good test.

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.
