Locked On Wild - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Wild

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins the show as we hand out letter grades to the 2022-23 Minnesota Wild. We start with the offense as a whole, an offense that struggled to replicate it's success in 2021-22. And not only were there fewer goals, but fewer exciting goals as well. We do look at the bright spots as well as players who regressed. We move to the defense and the goaltending, which carried the team for most of the season. We look at how both Wild goalies were able to steal games at various points of the season and kept the team in games even when the offense wasn't clicking on all cylinders. We move to special teams and coaching, and note the level of struggle the Wild Power Play had throughout the year, while being held to only one successful unit for most of the year. We discuss the letdown in the postseason and the lack of adjustments by the Wild coaching staff even with key players missing from the lineup.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at the remaining Stanley Cup Playoff teams to see which have the strongest Minnesota ties remaining. We start with the Stars and the Kraken, with Jake Oettinger and Ryan Suter presenting strong Minnesota ties, but also presenting fans with a dilemma on whether or not to root for Dallas. We discuss the Kraken, with Carson Soucy and Ryan Donato being their strongest Minnesota ties. We also look at former Wild players in Brent Burns and Eric Staal, and despite not playing for the Wild or being from here, Phil Kessel having ties to the University of Minnesota. All in all no shortage of Minnesota born and former Wild players still competing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Jayden Homuth joins the show as we prioritize impending restricted and unrestricted free agents the Wild will have to make decisions on. We start with Filip Gustavsson, and whether or not the Wild will have to worry about a team swooping in with an offer sheet to try to pry him away with the team unable to spend large amounts of money. We move to the trade deadline acquisitions such as Gustav Nyquist, Oskar Sundqvist and John Klingberg. We then discuss the in house candidates that are likely to stay such as Brandon Duhaime and Mason Shaw. We discuss a tonal shift in the status of Calen Addison, and why it seems like he will be on the roster next year after it seemed unlikely earlier in the season. We discuss the potential for Matt Dumba to return, and we finish by looking at the players with No-Movement Clauses and whether or not any of them will be potentially asked to waive theirs if a trade materializes.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we discuss the Marcus Johansson extension. We look at how it lines up with the Parise/Suter purgatory, and why he is a good fit for this team over the next 2 years. We look at the difference in impact between his first and second stints in Minnesota, and the chemistry he built with Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek. We move to Bill Guerin's season ending press conference, and the fireworks that started right off the bat. We break down Guerin's comments from his own perspective, with notes on the cap limitations this team is facing while still being a playoff caliber team, and why they will hopefully be able to break through the first round ceiling with those funds in 2 years. We discuss why Guerin is right that a "first round playoff win" isn't an accomplishment considering what follows, but then we flip and look at things from the fans perspective. With how similar the last two seasons ended, where is the accountability? All in all everyone is right in some aspects, but Guerin will have to hold someone accountable once the salary cap is no longer an issue.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to the first group of Wild player exit interviews. We start with learning the full extent of Joel Eriksson Ek's injury, and wonder how it was possible that he even attempted to return as quickly as he did. We hear from Ryan Hartman and get what will likely be the slogan of the offseason in "Saying is one thing, doing is another". We also hear from Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, and Boldy's comments in particular ring true with needing to be better in future postseasons. We hear from Gustav Nyquist and Marcus Johansson, who would welcome the opportunity to return to this team if the situation presented itself. We discuss Filip Gustavsson making it pretty clear that he wants to focus on conditioning this offseason and leave his contract negotiations for his agent, and Marc-Andre Fleury declaring that he will return for 2023-24, but that may be his final year in the league. We also discuss Ryan Reaves' comments that the team needs to find some resolve after letting officiating get to them as the series went on.

We discuss changes that need to be made after yet another first round exit. We also discuss the impending free agents on the Wild roster and which players should be retained, such as Filip Gustavsson and Brandon Duhaime. We also discuss the status of Marco Rossi and Calen Addison, and whether or not Addison will still be on the team come next year. There are no shortage of offseason questions that need to be answered this offseason!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to another first round exit this time to the Dallas Stars. We look at the parallels between last year and this year, with special teams being awful again and the team not showing up with the season on the line. We discuss the lack of adjustments made with the lineup as the series unfolded. We look at what Bill Guerin did to supplement the roster for two straight years, only to see things unfold in an eerily similar manner. We examine the comments Rick Bowness made after the Winnipeg Jets were eliminated compared to what Dean said after Game 6. We also discuss why it is important for Bill Guerin to make moves to signify that this result, for a second consecutive season, and a seventh postseason overall, is unacceptable.

The Minnesota Wild were eliminated from the playoffs in 6 games after the Dallas Stars picked up a 4-1 win in Game 6 at the Xcel Energy Center. The Wild again had troubles with Jake Oettinger, and failed to score on numerous early chances through the first period. The Stars scored first on a goal from Roope Hintz in the first period to take a 1-0 lead. The Stars added 2 goals in the second from Wyatt Johnston and Mason Marchment to make it 3-0. Marc-Andre Fleury came out in net for the third, and the Wild did get a goal from Freddy Gaudreau, but the Stars would add an empty netter to seal the scoring and the series win. Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy were held to 1 goal combined in the series.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we break out the Sage to strip Wild postseason demons of their power. We start with hope of previous seasons in which the Wild were able to get out of the first round to bring light into this dark space. We then call out the demons of Hot Playoff Goalies, such as Jake Allen, Corey Crawford and Jean-Sebastien Giguere to prevent Jake Oettinger from following in their footsteps. We move to the demon of familiar opponents, whether it be Chicago, Colorado, Winnipeg, Dallas or St. Louis, to prevent the Stars from defeating the Wild for the second time in the postseason. We finish with the demon of lack of goals, as in the performances of Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, so that they may finally have an impact on this series with two games to go. We cleanse all of these demons and rid them of their power!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at a few particular details that are leading us down the path toward a similar fate this postseason as we saw last year. We discuss the special teams disasters on the Power Play and Penalty Kill. We discuss the impact of the loss of Joel Eriksson Ek, and whether or not his absence really makes a 20% difference on the PK and turns the Power Play from a perimeter oriented unit that is not capable of getting into the offensive zone. We discuss faceoffs, and more importantly, the inability to win to set things up on the Power Play and prevent Dallas from hunkering down right off the draw on theirs. We also discuss the inability of the team to finish in odd man rush and breakaway situations, in a series in which the first team to score has won every game. We finish by talking about the lack of adjustments unless absolutely necessary that we have seen all season.

The Minnesota Wild were pushed to the brink of elimination after a 4-0 loss to the Dallas Stars in Game 5 in Dallas. The Stars scored on a Power Play after Marcus Foligno received a 5 minute major and a game misconduct penalty and was done for the night just 2:14 into the first period. The Stars added another Power Play goal, an even strength goal and an empty net goal to back Jake Oettinger, who stopped all 27 shots he faced. The Wild will need to win at the Xcel Energy Center on Friday to avoid elimination in 6 games for the second consecutive postseason.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we preview tonight's Game 5 as the series shifts back to Dallas. We look at where things stand for the Wild after a Game 4 in which they came up short on a few key opportunities but otherwise were right in the game as they have been most of the series. We do look at one area in which the Wild could make a tweak that would help them out, that being Gustav Nyquist who has been very good so far for the Wild. We look at why he may be able to offer more if he gets more minutes. That could be achieved by putting him higher up in the lineup, such as on the second line in place of Sam Steel. If Mats Zuccarello isn't being moved off the top line, Nyquist, Boldy and Johansson all have center experience and Nyquist's playmaking abilities could go a long way toward helping get Matt Boldy going. We also look at if Nyquist could help out on the top Power Play. We finish the show by talking about the need for Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy to have their "takeover games" and some more in-game adjustments for Dean Evason!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins to recap Game 4. We talk about the Dallas response, a ton of missed odd man rushes and breakaways, and why the Wild lineup is probably going to look mostly similar heading into Game 5. We talk about the Wild Power Play, and their inability to generate enough chances, despite numerous rebounds kicked out to perfect spots. We briefly talk about Marcus Foligno getting hit with two "penalties". We discuss the inability to shoot the puck shortly after entering the zone. We throw some praise toward Gustav Nyquist, who continues to look very solid since he returned to the lineup. We also discuss the defense pairings, and why we won't be seeing any changes on the back end of the roster.

The Dallas Stars responded after a Game 3 loss by defeating the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in Game 4 at Xcel Energy Center. The game was scoreless until Tyler Seguin scored on the Power Play in the 2nd period to make it 1-0 Stars. Dallas scored just after another Power Play ended in the third to make it 2-0, but John Klingberg was able to draw the Wild to within 1 at 2-1. After another Tyler Seguin goal to make it 3-1, the Wild went on the Power Play and Freddy Gaudreau scored to make it 3-2, but that was as close as the Wild would get as the Stars evened the series. Filip Gustavsson stopped 21 of 24 shots for the Wild. Game 5 is Tuesday in Dallas.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we preview Game 4 between the Wild and Stars! We look an overdue performance from Mats Zuccarello, as well as strong rebound efforts from Marcus Foligno and Marcus Johansson. We revisit last year's postseason in which the Wild got to this point of the series and took their foot off the gas, and why having a more dangerous opponent has helped keep them focused. We look at how the Wild can replace Joel Eriksson Ek in the lineup if he is unable to go after leaving Game 3 just 19 seconds in. We discuss the physicality of the series so far, and how Matt Dumba elevating his play has given the Wild two defensive pairings that can contend with Jason Robertson. We discuss Filip Gustavsson's performance, and how the Wild defense kept the net clean in front of him all night. We flip and discuss things the Stars will try to do to take Game 4, and how the Wild can combat them.

The Minnesota Wild bludgeoned the Dallas Stars 5-1 in Game 3 at Xcel Energy Center. The Wild now lead the best of 7 series 2-1. Joel Eriksson Ek came out of the game just 19 seconds in after starting, but beyond that the Minnesota Wild set the tone all game long and flustered Dallas at every turn. The Wild got the scoring started thanks to Mats Zuccarello's first goal of the series. Marcus Johansson made it 2-0 to start the second period after a highlight reel goal. The Stars answered immediately to make it 2-1, but the Wild finished the scoring with three straight goals, from Marcus Foligno, Mats Zuccarello again and Ryan Hartman. Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 of 24 shots in the win.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we preview Game 3 tonight against Dallas. We start with what we saw at Morning Skate, with Ryan Hartman and Joel Eriksson Ek both participating and then coming off the ice with the other regular starters. We discuss John Klingberg slotting in for Jon Merrill and why his addition will help both on special teams and at even strength. We discuss what the lineup might look like if Eriksson Ek and Hartman both return, with a few interesting suggestions to shake things up. We talk about Filip Gustavsson getting the start, and how he can help the Wild win in Game 3. We finish by looking at the opportunity the Wild presented themselves with after winning one of the 2 road games to start the series and what must happen tonight for the Wild to come out on top!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we recap a 7-3 loss to Dallas in Game 2. We discuss the hurdles the Wild had to climb before the game even started without Ryan Hartman or Joel Eriksson Ek playing, but the fact that the Wild were still in this game in the second period. We talk about the decision to start Marc-Andre Fleury and try to get to the bottom of why the team looks so different on the ice when Fleury plays compared to Gustavsson. We discuss the disastrous performance yet again from the penalty kill, and try to differentiate between bad penalties and players standing their ground. We finish by discussing a few lineup changes, including in net, the 3rd D pair and some potential forward line shuffling as well.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we gear up for Game 2 by looking at a few of the areas the Wild will need to be on their guard against the Stars. We start in the faceoff circle, and discuss now the Stars can hurt the Wild in particular from the faceoff circle on Special teams. We discuss all four road teams picking up wins in the Western Conference in the first game of their series, and how they were able to dictate the pace of play form the beginning. We finish by discussing the Wild offense, and why they need to keep attacking, even though Jake Oettinger played outstanding enough to stymie several Grade A offensive chances.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we break down the most standout performances (in a game filled with them) by Wild players to lead to a 3-2 Double Overtime win! We start with Sam Steel and his insertion into the lineup once again paying off. We look at his huge goal scored, as well as his great play all over the ice and assisting on the game winning goal from Ryan Hartman. We also discuss Filip Gustavsson shaking off a slow start and standing on his head as the game. We break down Brock Faber's UNBELIEVABLE performance, from puck battles along the boards to saving the game with a stick deflection in overtime. We also give an honorable mention to Matt Dumba for playing a sensational game throughout, and stepping up on Defense when the Wild needed it most. What do they all have in common? Calm demeanor, and willing to do WHATEVER was necessary to seal the win!
