  • Great topics, bad sound

    I want as much Wild talk as I can get and I appreciate the efforts here very much. But the sound quality needs to improve. I would enjoy it much more if the co-host’s sniffling, throat clearing and other background noise was addressed. It has been a factor in every episode I’ve listened to and makes the show almost unlistenable.

  • Wild News & Interviews

    Great weekly updates on Minnesota Wild (and Gophers for those that follow) and cool interviews. Personal favorites are Declan Chisholm and Judd Brackett, but they’re all legit. Not a factor in my rating, but the local sponsors all rock.

Q: How concerned are you with the injury history of pillar players like Brodin, Spurgeon and Eck, most specifically Spurgeon?
There is a legitimate concern since injuries keep reoccurring, but I'm hopeful Spurgeon will come back and perform like earlier this season.
