On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we recap the Wild's 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks in which the collective effort of the team was not enough to be competitive. We look at why it's almost impossible to diagnose problems when the effort is bad, and which problems can actually be fixed if a better effort level is given. We discuss Kirill Kaprizov's continued lack of scoring, and if he's just going to need to take matters into his own hands eventually to get goals. We finish by looking at areas that have heart the Wild in their losses so far this year and if those areas are fixable, or part of longer term issues.
