Brave The Wild -Minnesota Wild Podcast-

A fairly busy week for the Minnesota Wild, making four trades, two of which were fairly popular younger players in Brandon Duhaime and Connor Dewar, along with veterans Patrick Maroon and Nic Petan. Marat Khusnutdinov made his arrival in Minnesota, and any day now, will be in the lineup, for the long-term future! All of this while the Wild went 3-1 this past week, involving one of the gutsiest cal...

The Minnesota Wild continue to make it obvious to many, that this is not a playoff team. The trade deadline looms, and we might be saying goodbye to one or both of the "Dewey Brothers", but wouldn't it be better to move on from two other possibilities? If only it was possible...

The Minnesota Wild had a solid week, beating the Oilers in Edmonton, following up with a 5-2 convincing win in Seattle, and ultimately coughing up the lead twice to Carolina, in a week where Kirill Kaprizov would bring in the NHL's number one star. The Wild quickly signed major prospect Marat Khusnatdinov to a two year entry level contract, and he will suit up with Minnesota "Eventually". We hear...

The Minnesota Wild had a crazy up and down week, blowing the Buffalo game at the last second, having a 6 goal flurry vs Vancouver in a game where they were getting smoked, and then indeed were beaten thoroughly in Winnipeg. I believe it's safe to say the Wild have their best Center in Franchise history. We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @jbushy19 @NStarFan @mnjohan @thoen88 @pimpinwear @brandsteve @co...

The Minnesota Wild went 3-0 this past week, in arguably the most complete games of the season. John Hynes shuffled the lines again, and this time may have struck gold with what appears to be the true top line the Wild have always needed.

The All-Star break is over, and the Minnesota Wild are back to their old ways, despite the win in Chicago, with Dean Evason lines back, full force. It's time to give Adam Beckman a chance to sink or swim, along with not having Ryan Hartman on the top line, yet again...

The Minnesota Wild lost to the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks in sad fashion, it's overdue time for this team to stop pretending that this is a competitive team, and build toward the future.

The Minnesota Wild have suddenly won three games in a row, after getting stomped by Tampa, 7-3. Throughout this week, three players were a mainstay, and when you think about it, these three guys are what makes this team go, and you wouldn't ever want to deal them away, unless you're completely blown away.

The Minnesota Wild lost in sad fashion to the Philadelphia Flyers, blowing a 3-1 lead, but that paled in comparison to the almost unthinkable 6-0 embarrassment to the Arizona Coyotes, at home! After a players only meeting, the Wild came out on MLK Day, with Jonas Brodin back in the lineup and played a complete game versus the New York Islanders. What direction this franchise is planning on at this...

With the Minnesota Wild showing more and more signs that they are going nowhere fast, it feels that it's time to embrace a bad season, and hope not only a high draft pick, but the right high draft pick.

The Minnesota Wild injuries have mounted to a point that the entire captain core is out, so who will take over for the time being? More importantly, who should take over long term? I have three names that I think should, and will be the captain core soon! We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @jbushy19 @mnjohan @NStarFan @schiwmming X: @bravethewild: Tag #btwmn and comment away!

The Minnesota Wild are now 11-3 under John Hynes as head coach, and 3-0 this past week! Broke Faber has become a high minute man for Wild defensemen, and Kirill has become "The Thrill" again, as he clearly looks like who we have gotten to know and love since he got here!

The Minnesota Wild had a solid 3-1 week, thanks to Filip Gustavsson's overall strong performance. Marc Andre Fleury also was a standout in Boston, helping guide the Wild to one of the best wins of the season. The Wild continue to put their goalies and PK in tough situations with way too many penalties, and at the most inopportune times. We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @jbushy19 @snydes16 @BryanHerre...

The winning streak ended slow and painful in Vancouver, when a promising first period lead to a lot less exciting rest of the game, getting shutout by good backup Casey DeSmith. Edmonton was a back and forth battle, where a controversial hit on the boards by Evander Kane, lead to Jonas Brodin suffering an apparent broken arm or wrist. Thankfully, the "Gus Bus" was ready to add a shutout of his own...

The Minnesota Wild under new coach John Hynes have been a perfect 4-0, as so many different aspects look a lot better, but is this just a sugar high, or will something resembling this last all season?

After two more losses, especially a listless Sunday performance vs Detroit, Dean Evason was let go as coach of the Minnesota Wild, and replaced by former New Jersey and Nashville head coach John Hynes. Did Evason get a raw deal? Is Hynes the answer for a roster that is cap strapped, and overly committed to veterans?

The annual Thanksgiving special is here, and the Minnesota Wild are an even bigger part of Turkey Day this year, becoming the Turkeys Of The Year, in Patrick Reusse's annual "Grand Gobbler" column.

The Minnesota Wild season is underway, and things have been all over the place. One day the Wild look like world beaters, the next day, they're beaten, literally. Marco Rossi is finally on the scoreboard, with two goals so far, and looks like he belongs! We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @KalishaTownsell X: @bravethewild: Tag #btwmn and comment away!

Another NHL season is upon us, as the Minnesota Wild try to take that next step, while bringing most of the band back. Will Marco Rossi become a legitimate top six forward/center? Will Brock Faber continue where he left off last spring? Are the extensions to veteran players the right move? We talk about all this, and get your opinions as well!

Sorry for the hiatus, but it's the been that quiet time of year. We get caught up with the Filip Gustavsson and Brandon Duhaime signings, Dumba's official departure, and with some things that could and should happen the next one to three years.

Clearly the Minnesota Wild brass sees the desperate need for centers to fill the gap in this organization, and with the first three picks, the Wild took two large centers, and the smaller skilled Riley Heidt. The Wild also made depth moves in free agency, as we still await potential arbitration from the likes of Filip Gustavsson, Brandon Duhaime and Calen Addison. We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @br...

Here is our annual grandaddy of them all, State Of The Wild 2023! In this episode, we put a bow on the 2022-2023 Minnesota Wild season, getting into all the highlights and lowlights, and finally deciding on the club's annual awards and demerits of the year. We have our "patented" segment 1.5, to talk about the Stanley Cup Finals, and congratulate the Vegas Golden Knights! Segment two is all about...

Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin was a bit testy in a season ending press conference, particularly when asked by Michael Russo if Guerin thought this season was a failure. Overall, a lot of interesting things were said from players, and more news that came out during the course of this past week. We have another great fan intereaction segment, thanks to those of you below! We hear from @CreaseAndAssi...

The endless broken record player continues for the Minnesota Wild, who simply cannot get out of the first round of the playoffs, and once again, special teams let them down. #mnwild #StanleyCupPlayffs #NHL #Stars We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @BryanHerrera49 @jbushy19 @MNSOTA24 @MOKOV65 @jladam43 @tjsayer @bravethewild: Tag #btwmn and comment away! @mnwprospects facebook.com/bravethewild Send Call...

The Minnesota Wild looked so promising after game three last Friday, but ever since, it's been nothing be one disappointment after another. Blowing golden opportunities in game four, despite some bad calls, to flat out no showing in game five.
