Locked On Wild - Your Daily Minnesota Wild Podcast

On Today's episode of Locked on Wild, Seth recaps the Wild's 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues, and why fans can be frustrated but also shouldn't completely lose hope. We hand out the 3 Stars of the Night, with great performances from Joel Eriksson Ek, Jordan Greenway and Marcus Foligno leading the way. Honorable mentions also went to Jonas Brodin and Cam Talbot. We also play "Overreaction or Not" and wonder if the Wild's third period collapse is a concerning trend or just an off night. Also, what is going on with the penalty kill?

Today on Locked on Wild, Seth comes up with some rookie comparisons across other pro Minnesota sports for what Kirill Kaprizov has accomplished so far this season. For the Vikings, is Kaprizov comparable to Justin Jefferson? No, he's more like Randy Moss or Adrian Peterson. For the Timberwolves, is Kaprizov comparable to Anthony Edwards or Karl-Anthony Towns? No, he's more like Kevin Garnett. For the Twins, is Kaprizov comparable to Max Kepler or Eddie Rosario? No, he's more like Joe Mauer or Kirby Puckett. The main point is that Kaprizov has the power and game changing ability to be an all-timer for the Wild.

Today on Locked on Wild, Seth recaps the Wild's 5-2 win over Arizona last night. We discuss the Wild's ability to shake off sluggish starts and "turn on the switch" when they need to. We hand out our 3 stars of the night, with continued brilliance from Nick Bonino, Kevin Fiala, and Kirill Kaprizov. We also talk about Kaprizov breaking the Wild's rookie point record, and his ceiling as his career unfolds. We also look at who Nick Bjugstad will replace in the lineup when he is ready to return, with both Victor Rask and Ryan Hartman having cooled down considerably over the last two weeks.
