Judd's Hockey Show | a Minnesota Wild podcast

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad go through Judd's expansion draft list for the Minnesota Wild. There are many possible options for the Wild to protect players, including making trades or even buying out players. Why is Matt Dumba a must-keep for the Wild? Also, Judd fears the possibility of a Ducks-Senators Stanley Cup Final. And, is Phil Housley a viable candidate for a head coaching job?

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad discuss how the Wild would have matched up against any of the remaining playoff teams and who they expect to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. A discussion about Nashville's excellence turns into frustration over the league's lack of exposure for the talented and exciting P.K. Subban. This year's playoffs have been great, but it's more and more obvious that the league doesn't know how to highlight its best players.

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad take time to rant about the NHL's terrible review system and how the league consistently lets down fans by failing to highlight stars. And then they get into the nitty-gritty of the Stanley Cup Final between the Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins. Can the Preds make it a series? What's happened to Pekka Rinne? Is this Sidney Crosby's greatest accomplishment yet?

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad discuss what went wrong for the Wild in their series loss to the St. Louis Blues and talk about their future. Should the Wild make big changes this offseason? Will they be competitive again next season?

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad look at how the Wild ended up down 3-0 to the St. Louis Blues. How do we assign blame? Are the Blues only winning because Jake Allen has shut them down? Is there anything Bruce Boudreau should have done differently? Assuming the Wild don't come back, how should they approach the future? Make major changes or hope for better luck next year?

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad look at how Bruce Boudreau should set his lineup heading into the postseason. Which player needs to emerge as the Wild's clear-cut star in the playoffs? How can the Wild get the most out of Charlie Coyle? Where does new center Martin Hanzal fit in? Also, Matthew and Judd talk about whether they would prefer to face the Blues or Predators in the first round and how McDavid is more like Gretzky than Crosby.

Matthew Coller and Judd Zulgad look at two concerns about the Minnesota Wild heading into the postseason. Can Bruce Boudreau keep his cool despite the team's recent poor play? Why hasn't Devan Dubnyk been given a rest? How has bad goaltending affected the team's offense and should we still consider the Wild the favorites in the West?
