It’s been a while since Marcus Foligno had a buddy to play with. The GREEF line is long gone. The Minnesota Wild have moved Joel Eriksson Ek higher up in the lineup and traded Jordan Greenway to the Buffalo Sabres; Foligno was probably feeling lonely.

Each week seems to bring another Green Bay Packers special teams blunder. You could have written that sentence about the Packers’ bumbling special teams

Justin, Justin, and Luke go over their takeaways from the Wild's recent seven-game road trip where they went 5-1-1. From Marc-Andre Fleury's last game in Pittsburgh to Jake Middleton's offensive surge to Kirill Kaprizov's dominance, we've got it all in this quick episode!

I didn’t think it was possible. I never could have guessed it. You didn’t, either; don’t lie. But low and behold, Jake Middleton is fifth on the Minnesota Wild in points and leads all Wild blueliners in points with seven points through five games.

No Justin Wiggins for this episode. Hein and Sims carry this one as they discuss the ugly Minnesota Wild loss to the L.A. Kings, the loss, albeit brief, of Kirill Kaprizov, and how it affected the team the rest of the game. In addition, the dynamic duo recaps the putrid powerplay and penalty kill as well as discussing how Yakov Trenin is kind of bad. Last but not least we do a quick preview of the Wild's upcoming road trip where they should be able to bank a lot of points.

Below is a summary of Yakov Trenin ’s season so far. The Russian winger has not lived up to the four-year, $14 million deal general manager Bill Guerin signed him to in the offseason.

The Minnesota Wild stole five of six points on their recent road trip and now sit second in the NHL standings behind the Winnipeg Jets. Without Wiggins, Hein and Sims talk about the road trip, and Hein gives his in-depth breakdown of the Minnesota Wild penalty kill and looks ahead to the next few games.

Last season, the Green Bay Packers squeaked into the playoffs with a 9-8 record. As the NFC Playoff picture takes shape, 9-8 won’t cut it this season.
