Respool those reels… every day down is another closer to the fishing opener!

Kevin Lynch is a Timberwolves analyst for Fan Duel Sports Network. Consistency has been a struggle ALL season long for the Wolves, why would it be any different with eight games left in the regular season? Kevin and Steve air out their frustrations and discuss a potential offseason trade for Kevin Durant. Is there enough benefit to offset the potential cost?

Andy Greder covers the Loons and the Gophers for the Pioneer Press. It’s the home opener for the Loons and there’s a high chance for soggy. The defense was solid to start the season but the last few halves have been inconsistent. Andy previews tonight's match vs Real Salt Lake and gives his thoughts on the coaching change for Gopher Men's Hoops and a roster in transition.

Jess Myers covers the Wild for the Pioneer Press. The Wild are coming off a big W over the Caps and Ovi and have the New Jersey Devils for the next couple. Jess and Steve talk game details, trends and injury updates.

The full second hour of The Sports Weekend with Steve Thomson. Lindsey gives a quick recap of her trip to the North Shore PLUS conversations with Bobby Nightengale and Jess Myers!

Jess Myers covers the Wild for the Pioneer Press and was in the building for their win over the Buffalo Sabres. It wasn’t a must win but a should win in Jess’ book. Lots of games these days and Alex Ovechkin and his record pursuit are on the way.

Bobby Nightengale covers the Twins for the Star Tribune and has been at Spring Training for weeks. He’s ready to move on to the regular season and so are the Twins. Bobby also gets into the bullpen being a potential strength for the club this season, his sleeper picks for Cy Young and an injury update on Royce White.

To some this is the most magical time in sports... thank goodness for the Sports Weekend with Steve Thomson! Jonathan Lowe in the studio to provide score updates. Steve Carney and John Millea stop in to talk hooks and hoops!

John Millea has been a frequent visitor on the program over the last few weeks as winter state championships have progressed. He joins us today from the Barn for the final tournament of the winter season for Boys State Hoops.

It's the first meeting of radio Steve (Thomson) and outdoor Steve (Carney) of the new season? Spring is here but flaky and Steve Carney says the ice is officially too fragile for him to feel good being on the ice so he’s going to safely store his ice fishing gear until next winter. Carney also gets into some of the techniques he uses when he fishes the Missouri River and Rainy River (it's different from going out on the Mississippi and St. Croix). Plus, the evolving state of fishing on Mille Lacs.
