Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tarasenko's Renaissance EP399
Q: Why are the Wild so poorly positioned tactically?
It could be a mix of both the head coach and his assistants contributing to the tactical shortcomings.
Tarasenko's Renaissance EP399

The Great Wall Of St Paul! Thanksgiving 2025
Q: What are your impressions on the play of Danila Yurov so far?

Injuries And Rivals EP372
Q: What NHL team would best fit the Kardashians?
I would say the Rangers, because they are always on the center of attention but not necessarily performing as such.

Q: With Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek injured, should the Wild consider trading?
I think there is going to be something. I do think there is going to be a trade, but it's likely going to be something reasonable.
