Then the boys welcome the return of The Sota Pod's State of Hoppy to preview the Wild's playoff picture and talk about who would be the preferable first round opponent for the Wild between the Avalanche and Stars, before breaking down the chaotic ending to the recent Jets-Wild game and the impact it will have on both teams going forward. This naturally leads to a hysterical conversation about what NHL coaches would be best in a fight. Before heading out the gang does analyze the meaningless Wild-Predators game ahead of a spirited debate about whether or not pineapple does, in fact, belong on pizza. Then before the show wraps, Hoppy sent Dev the gift of his beer, Tourney Flow, created by Lupulin Brewing in a partnership with The Sota Pod. Turns out, the beer rocks, and Hoppy explains the whole process and how you can support Lupulin Brewing.

On this episode of the Wild Takes Podcast, Dev and Zooch celebrate the fact that the Wild have clinched a playoff berth to the greatest postseason in sports for the 10th time in the last 11 seasons.

With points in 16 of the last 17, and no signs of slowing down, the Wild have really been on a heater - in no small part due to Matt "Mr. 49 Sheets" Boldy's incredible 6 goals & 4 assists since Kaprizov's injury.

After the break, the boys break down that insane Blues game where MAF almost fought Jordan Binnington, explain how the Bruins game may have been the best 5-2 loss in NHL history, and the importance of the bounce back against the Caps. They preview the upcoming games against Philly, Chicago, and Seattle before mentioning that we are taking a road trip to Des Moines to celebrate Marco Rossi and the Iowa Wild!
