The Minnesota Wild's Stanley Cup Playoff run has ended in disappointing fashion. After an unbelievable start to game 5, the Colorado Avalanche simply were the better team, and took nearly every opportunity they saw to expose the Minnesota Wild's mistakes. With that said, the Minnesota Wild had a goal disallowed, they hit the cross bar, and there were times that the small things just set them back enough for Colorado to creep in and steal it at the end. This one in going to sting for the Minnesota fanbase, but there were also alot of positives that came out of the series, and the season as a whole. Ryan Carter kicks off the show joined by Kevin Gorg, and is later joined by John King and Joe O'Donnell for a full recap of game 5 in Denver. Give it a listen, and never forget the feeling of the game 3 victory, and ultimately the game 4 and game 5 losses. This is a team right on the doorstep of greatness, but they'll have to wait until next season to show us what they learned.
Game 4 at Grand Casino Arena between the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche had a different vibe than game 3 in Saint Paul, and the result was indicative of that. Ryan Carter and John King break down the Minnesota Wild loss on Monday night, but this is a best of 7 series, and it's not over. Wild head to Denver today for a Wednesday night matchup and a do or die game. Joe O'Donnell joins the pod and is already planning for the radio broadcast back home in Saint Paul on Friday night! The guys in the room are going to have to dig deep, but this is squad that is fully capable of doing so. Even after a tough loss in game 4, this still feels different, and the panel today will help get your mind set for Wednesdays game. Get outside and take a few deep breaths, because the Minnesota Wild are in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and there is ALOT of determination to make sure there is ALOT of hockey left to be played! Go take the game in Denver!
The Wall of Saint Paul is back and was in full effect last night in the Silver City, in front of a full house, and a packed crowd out on West 7th street outside Grand Casino Arena. The Minnesota Wild earn their first home win in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2014. Ryan Carter and John King walked tall into the studio, albeit a bit stinky from the block party shenanigans last night, but no other way to celebrate this win AND all the Mothers on their special day, than to to deliver a recap of game 3. Joe O'Donnell and Kevin Gorg jump-in to give their flowers to the entire fanbase, along with so many key pieces on the ice last night. Happy Mother's Day everyone! Celebrate all the Mom's along with last nights win, but be ready for another tilt tomorrow night!

Plus, the death of Yankees broadcaster John Sterling.
With as many people on the panel as goals scored in last nights game, Wild on 7th has a doozy of a recap of game 1 so buckle up. John King and Ryan Carter are joined by great friends of the show, Alex Stalock, Kevin Gorg, and Joe O'Donnell for a rich podcast that will try to make sense of the stat night of last nights round 2 playoff matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche. We might all be scratching our heads still a little bit, but if anything, it shows that the Minnesota Wild don't have anything to worry about when it comes to scoring goals. As the internet scours for answers, and provides opinions, there is now worries in the Wild camp, and Wally will be dialed for game 2!
For the first time in 11 years, the Minnesota Wild have entered the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Ryan Carter and John King are joined by Kevin Gorg and Joe O'Donnell to put a bow on the series that sent Jamie Benn to the golf course. After a late night celebrating with fellow staffers, the guys break down the series, the turning points, the biggest goals, and how important this is for the franchise and the fan base. They talk superstitions, power-ponytails, and loose change, all while recognizing that the players have different things in mind, and that's a laser focus on winning the Stanley Cup! This team feels different, and although we've maybe said this in the past, these are writing their own story, so follow along as we go on this Stanley Cup Playoff journey together!

John King spent decades building a life that looked successful on paper, until it all unraveled in a single moment in his mid-40s. What followed wasn't a clean reset. It was years of redefining what normal meant for him and then rebuilding according to that definition. This conversation gets into what happens when you can't push your way through anymore, and how small, daily choices can become the foundation for something entirely different. It looks at identity, resilience, and illustrates what it really means to find your way back to yourself.Guest Bios Dr. John A.

He was driven, accomplished, and constantly moving. But in his mid-40s, everything changed in a single moment when long-suppressed childhood trauma resurfaced, setting off a chain reaction that dismantled his marriage, his career, and his identity. What followed wasn't a quick recovery. It was years of rebuilding from the ground up, redefining who he was, what “normal” meant, and how to create a life that actually worked for him. This conversation with John and his wife Melissa is about that unraveling, and the intentional, often unexpected ways he found his way back.In this episode, we talk about:How a life that looks successful can actually be built on survival and constant motionWhat it feels like when everything that once worked suddenly stops workingThe difference between burnout and what John describes as a complete “system failure”Why rebuilding your life often starts with small, daily decisions rather than big changesThe shift from external validation to internal authority, and why it's so uncomfortableHow John developed a set of tools to manage his mental health and shorten recovery timeThe role of steady, supportive relationships during periods of deep transitionThis conversation provides a different lens on healing. There's no clean “before and after;” instead, it provides a picture of what it means to live with ongoing challenges while building the awareness and tools to navigate them. It's a reminder that transformation isn't always about eliminating struggle, but about learning how to come back to yourself, again and again, with more clarity each time.If you enjoyed this episode, please take a moment to rate, follow, and share The Big Four Oh Podcast with someone who might need to hear it.Guest ResourcesFree gifts from John & Melissa for TBFO listeners:Register for free talks and get free replays of any past talksPurchase lifetime access to the Phoenix Collective course catalog for $27 (regularly $97).

There is a void in the State of Hockey that will never be filled, as we remember our colleague and friend Jessi Pierce, who's life, alongside her 3 children and family dog, was cut short in a tragic house fire on March 21st, in White Bear Lake, MN. We will remember her and her infectious smile, and we will miss her around the rink and in the media scrum. The game of hockey lost one of its biggest fans, and one of its many voices. May you rest in peace Jessi, Hudson, Cayden, and Avery. In support of Jessi and her children, Ryan Carter and John King share some stories and admiration about Jessi, and as she would, continue on to deliver the hockey content you all desire.
