Wild on 7th Episode 106 VGK Game 5 Recap- The Past Stays There.



After further review, we’d rather not have any more reviews, but the truth is, we still have a game 6. Ryan Carter hot off the team plane from Vegas, burns into the studio to catch up with John King, and our playoff staple Wild Radio Joe O’Donnell joins us for a quick breakdown of game 5, and then all eyes on game 6. Much like the narrative of the last few podcasts, the guys really lean into the fact that the past is the past, even if we’re talking about last night. The series is coming back to the State of Hockey, and Wild Joe Radio has a vision. We might have teased the bingo card for these shows, but this is next level. Listen up, break the mold, and change the narrative. Boldy’s dog was not kicked…it’s a figure of speech folks, but let’s hope he still plays like it was.

  1. Mild havr an embarrassing whiney fanbase. Most cringe fanbase in the NHL. Rigged referee's whaa whaaa. Oh no we lost again, change the offsides rules. Whaa whaaaa. 😭

    VGK 💪🏆😏

  2. I enjoy Joe and Tom on the radio, you bring the game to life guys. Even though there's a delay for the TV, I prefer to listen to announcers who are biased for the Wild.

  3. extra time for Cassidy to review the offsides meant nothing, it looked offsides live and I thought that's what they were originally reviewing… Inexcusable by Nyquist, no other way to say it…the fact that he wasn't even busting hard towards the net and instead skated behind Hartman just makes it even worse…no need to get even close to offsides, Mite level hockey players know what to do in that situation…

  4. It’s not an emotional roller coaster, this couldn’t be more typical Wild (or MN sports in general).

  5. I've given Billy his flowers for alot of the trades he's made over the years, but I need to hear him admit the Nyquist pickup for a 2nd round pick has been an absolute disaster (or to be nice to Nyquist, say it just didn't work out)…

  6. 24:40 Its very situational I think do you wait and get some O zone time or attack the big shaky goalie? Matt Boldy in a similar situation waited dont go right at Adin Hill not dirty but just let him know we're rushing ya all game

  7. Hey Radio Joe, your take on winning in 6 was AWFUL. Team absolutely crapped down their leg. You guys need to stop being homers and call this team what it is. 25 years of mediocre hockey

  8. Been in the hockey industry for over 46 years, especially as a player and a coach amongst other rolls. And a wild die hard. But there was several issues that occurred and were allowed to occur by Hines that in his role as a coach he needed and should have corrected. Wild players have the talent and yes mistakes were made almost on a regularly basis that if not occurring would have given them a better outcome. Constant dump ins (in today’s nhl that’s almost a fore sure turnover) trust your players and skate that puck in, constantly backing up when defending your zone, old time hockey, stand up at the line and take the body, shoot the puck, shoot the puck, and good things are going to happen and you’ll be rewarded. I was a goalie. Its okay to loose a game and it’s going to happen, can’t beat everyone but what sucks more is when your issues aren’t corrected by your head coach. Know what your saying, easier said then done. What’s the the common denominator of successful teams? Yes players and talent, but also leadership. And that starts behind the bench. In closing was it me or does anyone else out there would have liked to see flower play more games this year? And would anyone else support the theory that hiring the right coach would improve this team. Players don’t like to loose either. And if not going in the right direction they are more likely to pursue moving on to other teams.
