On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins to recap Saturday’s shootout loss to St. Louis, which featured another slow start and a few players who just continue to not provide secondary scoring. We discuss the areas in which the Blues grabbed the upper hand with Joel Eriksson Ek out of the lineup, such as faceoffs and the Penalty Kill. We look at the Kaprizov-Zuccarello reunion, and who should center the two if they are put back together on a more permanent basis. We discuss the continued slumping for the bottom six, and look at the point droughts that several Wild players are currently on. We finish the show by looking ahead to yet another big week for the Wild! Playoff jockeying will be a daily occurrence from now to the end of the year!

Denny Barleau is 100% correct in his analysis and frustration regarding the MN Mess. Hynes is refusing to utilize youth vs the Cardio Kids and perennial AHLers. It seems his main coaching motivation is self preservation vs the greater good of Development for the inevitable turnover of talent in 2 years. There is zero positive reasons to overplay guys like Luchinni Gudreau Johansson, and Merrill. Absolutely NONE of these Guys will be integral to any playoff contending team. The Minute breakdowns from last game , overuse of stars and lack of faith in the likes of Marat , Beckman, Shaw Hunt etc show the lack of a true vision going forward , this Coach can Not and will NOT take this team to the Promised Land. U can take it to the bank. Yurov and Firstov need an opportunity as well and not on fourth line.
Ugh, I hate West Coast games and their 9:08 puck drops. A back to back this week followed by a Saturday Matinee that I will be attending. The Wild have a 13.4% chance of making playoffs. Sorry, but I'm just not a Luchini/Shaw/Letierri guy and expect nothing from them offensively.
Sing it with me: Hey hey (clap clap) . Ho ho (clap clap) Freddy and MoJo have got to go.
And HEY, HEY…HO, HO CARDIO KIDS HAVE GOT TO GO!!!
Somebody got a fresh cut
Guerin keeps saying he is building for the future yet he resigns aging veterans. KIRILL isn't sticking around for this nonsense. 10 year rebuild starts in 2026-27 when Kirill moves to the east coast.
Alex the only “wall” Rossi is running into is the one being built by the players on his line. Yes he definitely needs to improve and continue to develop but get him some help.
RH has become a league penalty magnet. He is on the referees’ watch list. That’s just the reality like it or not. I’m not sure how he can flip that script but it would be in the Wild’s best interest to do so.
Hey everybody! Wanted to hop in here to clarify something because I think there has been a little confusion recently. A lot of these episodes are recorded the night before. They premiere in real time but aren’t actually live. Hence why it may seem like comments don’t get answered. Not trying to ignore anybody! When a show is going to be live I usually put that in the title. I’ll try to be more clear about that moving forward. Hope that clears things up a bit!
