Steve Thomson And Eric Nelson

Jess Myers covers the Wild for the Pioneer Press and he joins Steve Thomson to break down today’s big Wild comeback win over the Detroit Red Wings. They have been beasts on the road and have managed to stay afloat despite so many big names being left off the game day roster. It’s time to stock and stash those points on the road says Jess, especially with a huge home slate for the month of March.

Steve Thomson and Lindsey Brown are back to guide you through another packed Sports Weekend. First, a conversation with Chris Hine about the Timberwolves and finding consistency in the Western Conference. Steve and Lindsey then get into the Girls High School Hockey tournament and why Lindsey didn't become a gymnastics star. All that and disappointment in Gopher Men's hoops.

Chris Hine covers the Timberwolves for the StarTribune. Wolves gave up 48 points in the first quarter back from the All Star break in their loss to the Rockets. The Wolves are still searching for their identity and have some still lingering injuries across their roster. Plus, Chris’ thoughts on Victor Wembanyama missing the remainder of the season and Anthony Edwards’ reluctance in being “face of the league”.

Phil and Steve get into the growing city of Fort Myers, demonstrating call challenges for the first time in the Majors, the level of competitiveness within the Twins organization and how position battles are shaking out.

Jess Myers did some soul searching in Mexico… he’s not a fan of the humidity.

Jess and Steve get into all of it!

Steve Carney makes his weekly appearance with Steve Thomson and brings the EXACT good neighbor energy we expect from our fellow Minnesotans. Carney likes how March seems to be shaping up and recommends that you stick to snowmobiles only when navigating on the ice. Plus, he’s already rigging his boat for the walleye opener but warns there still may be ice by then given the thickness this season.

Steve Thomson is tingling with sports excitement. First, Bobby Nightengale previews Spring Training and expected moves from the Minnesota Twins to fill out the roster. Then, John Millea drops in to talk High School Winter Championships and which events you need to add to your sports bucket list. Finally, picks for the Big Game.

Just two dudes who dedicate themselves to high school sports conversing on the upcoming Winter championships. Each sport has their own traditions and rivalries but the significance of their impact is immeasurable. 10 tournaments in 8 weeks is a WILD pace and John Millea is committed.

Bobby Nightengale covers the Twins for the StarTribune. Pitchers and catchers report this week.

Steve Carney makes his weekly appearance. We finally got the snow Steve asked for and that will certainly affect travel on the ice a little more of a challenge. Watch for those drifts! He’s noticed that some are taking their ice houses off the ice in anticipation of a big storm this week. Plus some thoughts on Tungsten Jigs for catching those fishies under the ice.

Sarah McClellan on the Wild and Fleury's special night PLUS Are the Wolves in must win territory vs the Wizards tonight? And Lindsey tells a story that should enrage every safety monitor.
