Wild Takes

On this episode of the Wild Takes podcast, Dev and Zooch welcome back Wags and JJ, the original hosts of the Wild Takes podcast! There is much to reminisce about, and also a lot to look forward to with this team. The Wild have won 7 in a row, could potentially make it 10 in a row by the end of this road trip. What's gone right for the team thus far, and just how special can this team be?

All that and more on an episode critics are calling "a surprisingly pun filled episode" and "the type of thing that can make a grown man cry tears of joy".

On this episode of the Wild Takes podcast, the boys are joined by Adam Ehrmantraut of World Hockey Report to talk a lil bit about how the Wild match up against the Edmonton Oilers, what's a realistic outcome for the Wild this season, who will win the Calder, and much more.

Critics are saying this episode "is a most serendipitous example of mistaken identity" and "truly heartwarming".

Boy oh boy, the Wild are a wagon. Dev and Zooch break down the Wild's current 5 game win streak, check in on the teams strengths, weaknesses, and identity at the 1/3 mark of the season, and use fancy stats to spin some narratives you wouldn't think they're smart enough to come up with. Also both of them drop some WILD takes at the end. You're gonna wanna hear this.

Critics are calling it "one of the best ways to start the Christmas Season" and "the type of podcast you listen to while enjoying a lovely Hanukkah latke".

On this week's episode of Wild Takes the boys are joined by Kevin Falness! He talks about his broadcasts from his home, how he's been with the Wild since Day 1, and what makes this Wild team special. 

All that and more on a jampacked episode critics are calling "Anthony LaPanta's worst nightmare" and "the kind of thing you can just hear the Michael Russo exasperated sigh even though he wasn't a part of the podcast."

Dev and Zooch are joined for the full episode by Miami news station WPLG's David Dwork and Ian Margol to preview the upcoming Wild roadtrip to Florida. They also touch on the growth of hockey in South Florida, seeing guys like Brandon Duhaime succeed, some betting, and how the Wild will ultimately match up against the Panthers and the rest of the NHL's elite teams.

All that and more on an episode critics are saying "really makes me wish I had been invited to Dev's wedding" and "more touching than a prison visitation on opposite day".

The boys realize that this Wild team can absolutely be something special. The team doesn't quit and has more depth and skill than they're getting credit for. We could be in the midst of a VERY special Wild season.

Critics are calling this episode of the Wild Takes "full of great opinions of Greg Wyshynski's work" and "the kind of podcast that makes me forget that there's a Home Alone reboot coming out in a few weeks"

On this episode of Wild Takes, Dev and Zooch are joined by Spoked Z to talk about how much he is loving this Wild season, his new podcast Juddz Budz, and which young players in the Wild's system will make the biggest impact on the franchise. They also give advice on how to get free money.

It's a great episode, give it a try!

On this episode of Wild Takes, the boys record during the second period of the Ottawa Senators visit to St. Paul (that the Wild wound up winning 5-4 in OT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH) to grade how October went for the club, weigh in on the fact Kaprizov (at the time!!!) hadn't scored a goal yet, and reassess what would be considered a successful season.

All that and more on an episode of Wild Takes critics are saying "feels unnecessarily pro-Poland".

On this episode of the Wild Takes podcast, the boys are joined by Cody Janzen of World Hockey Report - They compare the Battle of Alberta to college football's Iron Bowl, talk about the merits of being a bandwagon fan, the best Goalie Fights ever, Cody's hatred of the Lightning, and much more on this jam packed episode.

Critics are calling this episode "the kind of podcast that makes me think about my life choices" and adding that it's "Gary Bettman's least favorite podcast, so they must be doing something right".

Also fuck the Blackhawks and everything that they stand for. Deplorable organization that would be better served being punted into the sun.

On this week's episode of Wild Takes, the NHL season has officially returned.

The boys preview the Wild's first week, the season as a whole, and then have on the Wild's #1 social media superstar Erin Loughrey where she gives a behind the scenes look at just how chaotic the offseason was before the Wild signed Kirill. 

All that and much, much more on the episode of Wild Takes critics are saying "could honestly solve world hunger".
