Judd Zulgad and AJ Fredrickson are lifelong Minnesota hockey die-hards and Minnesota Wild media nerds, and this is their safe space to offer up takes, rants and reckless speculation about the Minnesota Wild and NHL. Judd wishes the Minnesota Wild were called the Minnesota North Stars. Sometimes we recklessly speculate about Minnesota Wild trades. Pass. Shoot. Score. Always remembering Jessi Pierce... more

  • Bar down Beauties = no

    Quit forcing bar down beauties through Judd’s hockey show feed. If I want that podcast I’d download it separately.

    Up to four shows a week now just to recap the same old discussions. Good thing I can skip the adds

    These guys are decently knowledgeable on hockey and the wild. However, there is legit 3 minutes of adds at the start and two minute ad intervals every 10 minutes. There are not many Wild podcasts, so this is what you have to deal with unfortunately. I listen to this podcast but I’d recommend this podcast be a supplement to an alternative wild podcast.

  • From a Wild fan in Florida

    This is the best Minnesota Wild podcast that I’ve found out there. Judd and Declan aren’t overwhelmingly negative like a lot of the other podcast hosts can be. I’m not a fan of all Minnesota sports, so I love that they stick to the Wild and they cover a good mix of all things that pertain.

  • Fun

    I just stumbled on this one a year ago and have really enjoyed it as great alternative viewpoint than the other top 1-3 mn wild podcasts. This one has more of a fan perspective slant perhaps. Only wish it were a more daily cadence!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Expectations for USA hockey at Milano Cortina Olympics
Q: What are your expectations for the United States as they attempt to win their first Olympic gold since 1980?
I'm scared to say it because I don't have full reasoning. I think the goaltending is superior and the depth at the blue line is phenomenal, but I'm concerned about the forwards.
BEAUTIES; 1980 U.S. Olympian Rob McClanahan joins the show!
Q: What did the 1980 gold medal win mean to you?
It gave us opportunities that may not otherwise have come to us, and it's hard to believe we're still talking about it 46 years later.
Road to the World Juniors: Chris Peters on USA's 3-peat chances, top prospects to watch, and more!
Q: Do you feel like home turf plays into the performance of the team?
Chris Peters indicates that home advantage can provide an edge but highlights the historical challenge of Team USA not winning gold on home ice.
Road to the World Juniors: Chris Peters on USA's 3-peat chances, top prospects to watch, and more!
Q: How do you think Team USA stacks up against the past two teams that won gold?
Chris Peters notes that the current team doesn't have the same top-end talent as the previous two but is still expected to compete for gold with key returning players.
BEAUTIES; The Minnesota Wild NEED to trade for THIS scorer
Q: How do you think they're going to do on this trip, given everything that we have seen in the past three games?
I feel the team does the exact opposite of what you think they're going to do.
