Wildly Biased Show: Week #11

Well hello again, hockey fans! Welcome Week #11 of the Wildly Biased Show!

Folks, since we last spoke the Wild went 2-0-1.  They gained 5-out-of-6 possible points by taking points from Central Division foes and Eastern Conference flotsam alike.

In this week's show the ever-dapper Phil & I will break down the inevitability of the loss to the Stars, the team victory in Chicago, and that win over the Leafs in St. Paul that doubles as the least interesting hockey game since Jacques Lemaire hung up his clipboard.

We'll also discuss Ryan Suter's comments to the media, Mike Yeo's response, the importance of lefty/righty combos on the blue line, the resurrection of Jason Pominville, old episodes of Becoming Wild, Darcy Kuemper's reappearance, how small moments frequently become the turning points in games, the difficulty of depth perception from the top of the Xcel Energy Center, the first successful coaching challenge in franchise history, Ryan Johansen's trade value, Mike Reilly's call-up, John Scott's All-Star candidacy, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins trade value, and we take our monthly trip around the Central Division Of Death!

All that plus a lot of non-sequiturs and dead air! Good stuff all around.

We'll be back next week to discuss the Wild & Avs home & home series plus whatever else comes up in the meantime.

Wildly Biased Show: Week #3

You can't win 'em all if you don't win the first one, folks! The Wild hung a big W on the Pepsi Center last night to open the season. After the game Phil & I sat down to record Episode #3 of the Wildly Biased podcast.

In this week's show we discuss the Wild's thrilling 5-4 win in Denver, Zach Parise's hat trick, Tyler Graovac's performance, Devan Dubnyk's struggles, Gabriel Landeskog's consistently immature play, the Avalanche withholding their doctor from Nino Niederreiter, Cody McLeod, Mikko Koivu's captaincy, Marco Scandella, the Wild's struggling PK, Matt Duchene, and the magic of Thomas Vanek.

We also take a trip around the league and discuss the league's cocaine problem, Houston Aeros Calder Cup wins, the strength of the Central Division, Dustin Brown's headbutt, the Sharks captaincy (again), the usefulness of Milan Lucic, the coach's challenge, a random Rangers/Caps playoff game from '09, Connor McDavid & Jack Eichel debut, and a look ahead at the week ahead.

As always, the show's free to stream.  Also, as always, be aware that we use some big-boy language on the show.
