Stanley on 7th

Al Stalock is back on the pod to break down Game 1 against the Blues. Topics include goaltending styles, should Fiala shave, and whether or not kids should attend playoff games.

Carts and King are paid a visit from a true St. Louis Beautician, Cam Janssen. The guys discuss the Wild’s first round opponent in detail, and start growing their playoff beards.

Home ice is on the line, the guys visit with a sports psychologist to see if her techniques can help beleaguered Minnesota sports fans like they do elite athletes. Also, it was Kirill’s birthday.

The guys just want the Wild to stay healthy, and for the playoffs to start already. Also, Carts wonders if special forces personnel are operating the Ritz Carlton bidets in Montreal.

“The Prossessor” visits the pod to talk cards on the plane, Kirill’s birthday, cozy fighters, and skating without a bucket when you’re bald.

Carts and King talk about everything from Trevor Zegras looking over his shoulder, to a big college hockey bet, and how the Wild have a proven record of responding to stimulus.

The guys welcome Ryan Hartman to the pod. Discuss how Mats Zuccarello is a legendary teammate for his role in booger-gate, and if there is a brewing muzzy controversy on the squad.

The guys talk about the Christmas morning that was Billy G’s big trade deadline, learn that Rat has left the bandwagon, and debate King’s parallel parking skills.

Carts shakes off a big night after the Koivu jersey celebration, and the guys discuss high school hockey from the Minnesota model to hockey hair.

After a much-needed win against the Rangers, Carts and King discuss Hartman’s clean shave, P.J. Fleck’s “Let’s Play Hockey!” call, and the team finally icing their full lineup.
