HWP 101: Tune-ups and Top Prospects

The Minnesota Wild are finally starting to come out of their brutal March slump. This past week saw Minnesota claim 5 of an available 8 points (Hey, it's a start) as the Wild are looking to get momentum heading into the playoffs. Which are a week away, you guys!

So, to get our podcasting game right for the postseason, we brought in long-time Hockey Wilderness writer Chris Boyd for this episode, PLUS Todd Milewski, the Badger Hockey beat writer for the Wisconsin State Journal.

Topics included:

Alexander Ovechkin's Hat Trick of Terror Nino Niederreiter busting out of his slump Alex Stalock's great debut and subsequent demotion The return of Joel "Eazy E" Eriksson Ek Eric Staal's Masterson nomination, and a few other Staal tangents Changes coming to Minnesota's sweaters Finding out about the tenacious Luke Kunin Why Minnesota slumps hard every year Will Darcy Kuemper ever start another meaningful game for Minnesota? Who will have more wins in April: The Wild or Twins? Does regular season momentum matter in the playoffs? Will the Wild set their single-season Points record this year? Who needs to step up for the playoffs Talking about possibly moving Matt Dumba to the wing The big earth-shaking news surrounding the Olympics
