Thank you for listening to today's episode. Today, Derek (@CreaseAndAssist), Kalisha (@KalishaTownsell), Steve (@brandsteve), and Theresa (@MNSOTA24) spend a little time talking about the 2026 Olympic Games that just started. Since the Minnesota Wild have quite a few players in various national lineups, it will be interesting to see how things pan out. And the Olympics will definitely give Steve a little more insight into his prospect report on Iowa Wild defenseman, David Spacek, who is in the Team Czechia lineup. 

After the brief Olympic discussion, we then turned to discussing the Iowa Wild. The question asked of fans, was is winning really important for Minnesota's AHL affiliate. Our panel was a bit split as were those who commented on the poll. However, no one really disagreed with the fact that the Minnesota Wild need to be able to easily and successfully play and play people into the lineup from Iowa.
