The Minnesota Wild's season comes to an end. But it was not without a respectable performance in Game Seven. 

In textbook Minnesota sports fashion, the Minnesota Wild are eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, overall it was a positive season. The Wild solidified themselves as the third best team in their division, saw development in their young players, and thrived under coach Dean Evason's system, which brought them success in the latter parts of 2019-2020. 
​
Also, Cam Talbot was spectacular all year. 

​Now the focus is on the roster & the NHL Entry Draft!

Who stays? Who is traded? Who is selected in the Seattle Kraken NHL expansion draft? All these questions and more will be addressed in The Sota Pod podcast episodes moving forward!

In Episode 158 of The Sota Pod, Isha is convinced Kirill Kaprizov is a KGB Agent. He & Hoppy are then joined by Karlo, AKA Sumdood88 of LockedOn VGK and the Weekly Knightly Podcast to put a bow on the Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild series. The boys also talk about the NHL Playoffs, Isha getting spat on while cycling, and feature a sizzling "Tim Peel's Hot Mic of the Week"!

What a WILD ride! 

After a quiet first few games from the Minnesota Wild's offensive stars in Kevin Fiala & Kirill Kaprizov, the boys are back! Though defensively the Minnesota Wild have been solid all series, their star players were unable to solve Marc Andre Fleury in the first few games. However, they cracked the code in game 6 to force a game 7 with tremendous help from goaltender Cam Talbot who earned a shut-out in the Wild's victory.

​With Selke-deserving two-way forward Joel Eriksson Ek healthy after a scary collision with a goal post late in game 6, the Minnesota Wild have all the tools to get past the Vegas Golden Knights tonight and advance to the second round where the Colorado Avalanche await them! 

In Episode 157 of The Sota Pod (POST-GAME SHOW edition) Josh Leddy of Back Channel Brewing joins Hoppy to talk about the Wild and Vegas series, as well as The New York Islanders defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins, and other NHL news and notes!
