  • Out of all the podcasts that I listen to, this sure is one of them.

    Hoppy sing the Canadian National Anthem while Isha chugs maple syrup, super troopers style. There is more Waconia beer in it for you two when you complete the task. Also Isha needs to remind everyone of who the real Mario Kart champion is.

Ep137 feat. West Coast Joe | Quinn Hughes Vancouver homecoming | How soon is SOON? | MINN sweeps #3 UND | Charlie Stramel update | Minnesota Wild Podcast | Fellowship of the Rink
Q: Would it surprise you now that potentially we see him signing in the next few weeks or earlier than maybe the media and everyone was expecting now?
Smith says either an imminent signing or Hughes going to free agency would be unsurprising. He believes Hughes likes Minnesota but remains undecided while weighing his family's views and the possibility of playing with his brothers.
Ep137 feat. West Coast Joe | Quinn Hughes Vancouver homecoming | How soon is SOON? | MINN sweeps #3 UND | Charlie Stramel update | Minnesota Wild Podcast | Fellowship of the Rink
Q: Did he seem excited, indifferent, nervous? What was your vibe prior to the game on Sunday?
Smith says Hughes did not show nerves and seemed cautious because he did not know what to expect from the Vancouver crowd. He was open about his time there and said the reception would not change how he felt about his years with the Canucks.

Q: How is Banach doing?
The hosts describe Adam Benak as an excellent center for Western Michigan's top line, with strong offensive play and a two-way game that they compare favorably with LJ Mooney's.
Charlie Stramel's FIRST AHL Goal | INSANE Series WIN for Gophers vs UND 〽️ | Minnesota Wild Prospects Podcast | MNW Young Guns
Q: How is Amadovsky doing?
The hosts say he has mostly played on UConn's fourth line, logging limited minutes but generating shot attempts and bringing high energy. They see potential for him to become an effective bottom-six player.
Fellowship of the Rink - Ep135 feat. Mike Russo | Can Quinn Hughes carry a DECIMATED blue line? | Detroit Red Wings brass attending Wild games | Minnesota Wild Podcast
Q: When we have a full roster and everyone's healthy, like, what would it take for him to maintain this spot?
Russo says Lorenz may have to spend time in Iowa if the roster becomes healthy, but injuries could quickly create another opportunity for him with the Wild.
