What was the outcome of the Minnesota Wild's first game after the Olympic break?
Are you looking to connect your brand with Minnesota's most passionate sports fans? Score North podcasts deliver engaged listeners every week. Here's what Pat from Padreggs Brewing had to say. People call during the podcast and say, are you open? I want to come there. We have people call who listen to podcasts who don't live here and say, hey, can I get beer in California? We've had a couple of people call from California, another guy call from New York. No, you can't get it there. We had another person drive here from Indianapolis, stopped here, was going to a Vikings game, was a big fan, and actually stopped here on the way because they were podcast fans and Vikings fans. So for us, we see really tangible results for our investment, which is good.

Hockey! My favorite. It's Judd's Hockey Show.
Yes, it is another edition of Judd's Hockey Show. It's just another edition where we're going to talk about another wild win. They pick up right where they left off going into the Olympic break. They were 8-1-1 before the break. They come out last night, Age, and they get a 5-2 victory against the Avs in Colorado. A lot to talk about here. Gustafson was outstanding. Boldy, four points. There's a lot to talk about. But here's where I want to start. That's pretty impressive. That's pretty impressive when you are going to play one of the best teams, if not the best team, in the entire league. And you come out a little bit flat, outshot, which is fine. Clearly, that was a fun game, but it was a sloppy, sort of murky game for a while as far as play style went.
But that, to me, was... It's an important win because it answers some questions. How are you going to come back from the break? How are your Olympic guys going to look? You're playing a really good team, so you're not starting off with a bad team, which actually might help you increase your compete and things like that. Gustafsson stops 44 shots on 45 or 44 saves on 45 shots. pukes in the crease near the end of the game and then skates off and poor Jesper Valstead comes in and immediately gives up one goal on two shots. But I just thought from a takeaway standpoint for a way to come back from the break and assert yourself. That's one of the more impressive wins just as far as all of those important factors being put together to now pull within five points of the avalanche.
Yeah, last time you're going to meet Colorado in the regular season in the wild, make the most of it. No, actually, they're going back there. Do they go back there? I thought I looked ahead in that. Next week.
Nope, they got one left.
Oh, they do, Sunday.
They're going right back there. It's a crazy scheduling.
Okay, then totally regard that statement. So, I mean, I thought I had this whole thing planned out about, well, you did your part for the remaining games in hand to try to offset that point difference. Well, they got one more to go. They got one more head-to-head matchup where the Wild can make it a two-point swing clean. But I think last night, the setup and the narrative, at least in my mind, was the Wild should win this game. I was nervous because despite having my TV tuned into the season 50 premiere of Survivor on Wednesday, I also had a second screen that was kind of roaming around the league looking into other games, and for the most part, teams were turning to action. I noticed a sluggish entry back into play, and I was worried that we might see that for a while.
But on the other side of things, I know they're at home, but Colorado had played the night before. Obviously, they beat a Utah team, and... I expected it to be a team that probably, one, wanted some revenge for the sake of the Makar, for Taves, for McKinnon. But also, they already shook off that rust. So I expected them to look like the better team from the get-go, and then it would be the Wild trying to play catch-up.
