#46 Captain of the Minnesota Wild, Jared Spurgeon, revisits his favorite Wild podcast and brings along a side of him that even our hosts have't seen. Jared talks about his team, how they support each other, chirp each other, and how they appreciate a nice "sauce" to one another. Carts and King talk ODRs, the red dragon, puffy vests, and more, but stick around for Pulltab etiquette towards the end of the show. If you don't know anything about Pulltab's, this would be a solid introduction before you make your way over to Bunny's. Rip the doors off with Spurg in this weeks episode.

Happy Thanksgiving from Wild on 7th! Carts and King sit down to reminisce about the holiday hunger games, talk ODR's, whiteouts, and more, while the Minnesota Wild are leading the league and have the leading scorer. Things on West 7th are Wild, but arguably just as wild on the road, as this team is finding ways to win wherever they lace up. Kick back, relax, and nurse that weekend hangover back to health with another Wild on 7th, your favorite Wild podcast. 

The #38 Special, Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman drops by the pod for another entertaining conversation, ranging from trucks to fatherhood to holiday cheer. The crew talks about Hartzy's love of the outdoors, fishing for bass and muskie, some recent purchases that Dirty Harry might appreciate, and wearing your new jacket to the rink. Pony up and buy that leather jacket you've been eyeing, because you should attack life like Hartzy attacks competition, worry free with a chip on your shoulder.

Friend of the show, Minnesota Wild defenseman, #5 Jake Middleton returns to the pod, and seemingly didn't want to leave, so buckle up for a longer show this week. "Jake Midstrom," as Wes Walz coined recently, talks about the strong start from the squad, welcoming his first child to the world, his tape job, playing with Kirill and so much more. Throw on a hoodie, or maybe a crew neck if that's more your style, and get ready for all things Jake Middleton.

Sorry for the delay on this weeks episode, but we got hit by a MOOSE and it took a second to recover. Carts and King dive into youth hockey updates, beer league shenanigans, the recent road trip, and how Hynes brings the "hard." Alternate Captain Marcus Foligno also drops by to discuss his role as a leader, his Sudbury Ontario summers, fun with family, and maintaining balance on and off the ice. When Moose enters the room you listen up, so listen up to Wild on 7th.

Welcome to the positivity palace this week, as Carts and King find it difficult to find any gaps in the Wild's games as of late. Kinger has been riding the wave on this fantastic voyage, and by the sounds of it, might need to mix in some vitamin C, as our guest Yakov Trenin shares stories about the Russian National team, dropping the mitts, his love of video games, and his love/hate or just plain lack of Borscht. The squad seems to be clicking, our mustachioed man is now a father, the lineup is strong, and positivity is leading to points.

The star of countless Minnesota Wild content pieces over the years, the pride of South St. Paul, Mr. Alex Stalock joins the podcast this week to talk central division rankings, goalie goals, mid-game snacks, his regrets about not starting a pizza blog before Dave Portnoy, and more. Carts is wrapping up sober October, while King tries to reconnect mind and body, for a Zen like show as the Wild wrap up this major road trip to kick off the season.

Long-time Minnesota Wild Captain, Mikko Koivu dropped by your favorite Wild podcast for the hard hitting questions now that he is enjoying his retirement.

A guy that still appreciates the trainers over all the years, Mikko Koivu still sounds like he is game ready. So strap in, put your gloves on the dryer, crush that ice, and listen up to Finnish former captain. #9forAllTime
