Back to Full Strength Against the Rangers
March 08, 2022 23:35 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MBOn today's episode of Locked on Wild, we start by looking at recent comments by Bill Guerin and a couple of recent articles suggesting the Wild will not look to add a goalie at the trade deadline. We look at what Philadelphia wants in return for Claude Giroux. Is the price too high? For the Wild, with so many prospects close to playing at the NHL level, would it still cost prospects beyond one of those players? While it may be, the Wild will certainly still keep an eye on other potential upg...

A Gritty Win for the Wild in Philly!
March 04, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBOn today's episode of Locked on Wild, we recap the Wild's 5-4 win over Philadelphia. The Wild played better despite the final goal, and we saw a much needed bounceback game from a few key Wild players.

February 25, 2022 08:00 - 30 minutes - 27.7 MBOn today's episode of Locked on Wild, we recap the 3-1 loss to Toronto. Toronto, despite their struggles is still a very dangerous team at home.

We discuss why Kaapo Kahkonen continues to be so good, and point out a subtle difference ...

What's Next for Nico Sturm?
February 22, 2022 23:32 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MBOn today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at whether or not recent roster moves will stick going forward.

Wild have Plenty of Future Calder Trophy Hopefuls!
February 16, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBOn today's episode of Locked on Wild, we explore the phrase "positionless hockey" and why it has allowed the Wild to get the puck to Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello, Matt Boldy and Kevin Fiala more than if they had a true center. Is this a style that is sustainable? Is this something that could make the need for a deadline trade less urgent? We also look at why the Wild's run of Calder Trophy Finalists shouldn't end with (hopefully) Matt Boldy, as Marco Rossi and Jesper Wallstedt seem poise...
