We are back, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry to take a couple weeks off. I was manning the fort hanging out on the other shows as you guys were probably listening to if you guys check out all of the other shows here under the soda pod banner, but we are back, ladies and gentlemen, to continue to do live streams and live watch parties with you guys. is here. We are 2 minutes into this period, by the way, and already a couple turnovers from the Minnesota Wild. And two big saves by Philip Gustin, who’s back between the pipes here tonight as the Minnesota Wild before American Thanksgiving, try to extend their win streak. And guys, in the last three weeks, I think the last stream I did was that Pittsburgh Penguins game, that horrendous game. Things have picked up since the last time that we’ve been live here. The Minnesota Wild are great on the power play. The Minnesota Wild are great on the penalty kill and they’ve found a five on five scoring touch. And speaking of Carell Capri have almost got one off at center and the Blackhawks bring it back to center zone. Flick it down. Oh, there’s a poke check by the Wild and they flick it down into their own zone. Now the Wilds looking to break out. Hey, let’s go Brian. Good to see you. can’t watch the game cuz I’m watching the Iowa game versus Milwaukee. It’s 1-1 Wild goal. Let’s go. Let’s go. Shout out to the Iowa Wild. Honestly, I’ve been I’ve been watching more Iowa Wild games this year and it’s been fun. I mean, Jerry Mayhew’s back on the team. He’s one of my favorite hockey players ever. So, I’m excited that uh that he’s given the team a little bit of a boost. Good to see Brian. Good to see hockey from home as well. Capriovv went bar down. What’s going on? Let’s go wild. Yes, bread is unavailable tonight. We got a lot of fun stuff in store during the breaks. Don’t you worry. 1747 in the wild. Dumped this one all the way back into the Chicago zone. Net minder played it and a big hit by Baldi. Good for check by Baldi. They get it back center trying to backhanded back. Sorry, it wasn’t Baldi. Felino, I thought it was number 12 at first, but Feno doing a good job here. Nice job weaving in the circle, but the Wild can’t get past their man and they lose it. Here come the Blackhawks. Two on two. Good defense by the Wild. They get it back in their own zone. Turn it over. Wild get it back. They turn it over. Bouncing puck all over the sticks here tonight. The puck trickles back into the Wild zone. Gustoson plays it into the corner left side. to Chicago with it. Shots two apiece, by the way, guys. Two a piece so far. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. South of the border, by the way. Problem with Iowa is they’re missing their key players cuz they’re up in Minnesota. As soon as uh we all get them, I think Iowa should be hot. Oh, yeah. Ogrren in particular. I mean, Ben Jones hasn’t been there for a while. Pitlick. 15 games tonight in the National Hockey League. By the way, tomorrow zero and then I’m pretty sure Friday another 15. Got to love the NHL schedule. Got to love the NHL schedule. Let me get the live stats up for you guys. There we go. What are you guys up to tomorrow for Thanksgiving? I know Hawk from home already celebrated. Custom lets in two goals. Put in wall stat. Depends what kind of goals. If they’re super softy, sure. If not, let him play. 1631. Two is aggressive as [ __ ] in the National Hockey League to pull your goalie. Even Brisgalov got three or four before they were pulling him at the end. Blackhawks right side doesn’t shoot. Looks the spin. Looks like there’s someone in front there to knock it home with the Wild. Good poke check and they they knock it to center. Both teams completing their change at a boy. Yo, uh if if anybody sees that fight on Twitter, tag me in it. We’ll react to it. Love AHL fights. Puck shot. High slot over the net. Wild send it up the right side. Neither of these teams have really been able to get anything going here in the first round. Passing plays, realistic offensive chances just yet. Let’s go Chicago Bards. Dude, it is the Baddard show right now. Let’s be honest. Cool to see Ryan Donado have some success in the National Hockey League, but hardly a force on the team. It’s going to be a grinder for the Hawks. They look like they punched into work hard. Let’s hope so. What’s up, Joseph? Blackhawks are going down for real. For real. so far. Back and forth play and again neither of them slashing here by the Hawks. Neither of them really gotten their stride yet. And the Hawks are going to take the first penalty of this game. Levunov takes it. Slashing call here. Just an aggressive stick on that first poke. Yeah, last little second slide. Not too egregious, but hey, Wild get a power play. First power play here for the Wild. And again, I was streaming and I’m going to continue to do one at least maybe even two, three when we get to World Juniors and Olympics, but at least one watch party every week. And man, we opened up the gates with four or five straight weeks of watch parties. And it was rough. It was rough. But Wild to seemingly well inject Zucarella back in the lineup. Am I right? Baldi sends it behind the net. Erikson gets it taken away as he gets freaking sandwich. And the Hawks bank this off the board and this goes the length of the ice. Z Buim to Capriovv. Capriovv left side. Zukarello sends it up into the corners and the Blackhawks are going to get it back. Blackhawks send it right back down the ice. Good kill so far for the Blackhawks. 1437. Zeve drops Capriov again with speed through center over the line. Back to Baldi. Baldi to Buham. to Baldi. Baldi in the corner. Baldi behind the net. Baldi looking for somebody. Has to go all the way back down to Buham. Buham left side. Zukarelloo feeds E at center. Buham. He’s got a little bit of space now. Shot. That gets through. Back to Buham. Fighting in the corner now. Zukella. Zukelloo goes down and the puck doesn’t go quite the length of the ice. That’s center. I think Zukarella changed somebody for the while changed. And are we going to have a tripping call on Baldi? His stick got tangled up in the feet. Yeah, we’re four on four for 34 seconds. Baldi protesting this. He’s not happy. He’s saying I didn’t do it on purpose. Stick got caught up in the skate and Blackhawk went down. I want to see the replay for this one. Naser working hard, dude. He’s really good. They play Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters at the end. I’m sure the players will be questioning this generation. I have no idea what that is. It sounds animeesque. Now, if they played season 2 Death Note intro, now we’re talking. It’s just some crazy Japanese screo. 1350 on the clock and we got four on four for 34 seconds and the Blackhawks are going to be up a man. Faber sends it left with speed. Minnesota 25 seconds. Bully pout about a call. A call that gets uh made every single time. NHL softest league on the planet. I’ve been watching a lot of the English league, man. It’s so much fun. 124. And no, Cardiff’s not the only team I watch. They got some funny ass logos, too. And if you like violence, it’s just a way more fun league. One uh 112 on Chicago’s power play. Shots five to2 in favor of the Blackhawk. Here comes Bard and he gets taken off the puck. Bratusi for the Blackhawk sends up the left side. Hey, let’s go Brian. Next whistle will react to it, but long and short of it, not a bad call. Oh, shot that goes to the right of Gusen Nazar to Bertusi. That puck pops up in the wild. Going to send it back down the length of the ice. 36 seconds. My man Brian Hockey lives here. [ __ ] following you back. 25 seconds. He got lit up. Not going to lie, but it’s all good. All right, Blackhawks 15 seconds. One last rush. Donado, Renzel, both two fun guys to watch and Dickinson there for man what a power play. I know it’s the second unit but still Chicago Badar just Minnesota Capriovves. I mean that’s I don’t think that’s fair at all. I think Baldi’s been arguably uh the Wild’s best player this year. here now. Capri off points wise, sure, but oh my god. And Donado gets tripped right when the clock goes to zero. And bro, Dean gets the tripping call. He’s just consistent. Maybe, and I know people are going to roll their she’s not consistent. Goal. He’s consistent. Like he doesn’t make mistakes often. I mean, he did take a penalty kill or a penalty there, but if he’s not scoring, at least he does a lot of other things and doesn’t just pout like a tripping call he didn’t agree with. God, I hate it when the team holds the puck forever against the boards. Another fight. This time it’s Butler, dude. Let’s go. All right, commercial break. TV timeout. Let’s react to some hockey fights. You guys know me. Hockey, box across, MMA. That’s my [ __ ] right? though. Anytime there’s some fights in hockey, I am down to share them here with you guys. And we got probably like a two to three minute TV timeout anyway. So down to react to some hockey fights, especially when it’s our Iowa Wild. They’re involved in them as well. All right, what do we got here? What do we got here? Oops. Where is it? Like Lambos is there to ice and now they’re going to drop the gloves. Lambos and Mutter are going to drop them. Lambos and Mutter back their way to center ice. Oh, square up right at center two. Reaches in as Mutter grabs him. Lambos throws a right. Mutter’s helmet flies off. Now Lambos as Mutter throws a right. That lands on the left here. Then he tumbles him to the ice. Come on back up and gave him. He was getting pummeled there at the end. This is the AHL. What are the refs doing? That’s some NHL ass [ __ ] right there. Ending the fight way too early. Although the ref was protecting our guy. So, so I won’t complain too much. I won’t too much. TV time out. By the way, guys, we’ll get right back to the action. Need Bard to score for the parlay, son. Yo, what’s up, Steve? Good to see you, man. Oh, look at that. Mason West highlights Dina Football and Blackhawks prospect. Hell yeah. Well, I know what we’re doing for the next TV timeout. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate it. Right. Now that you follow me on Twitter, you’re just going to see it’s literally just like Muay Thai, MMA, and hockey highlights. The most All right, face off by the Blackhawks. They’re trying to set up in the wild zone. Blue line right side, top of the circle. Bard weaving behind the net. It looks cross ice finds his man, but that doesn’t get through. Bard still with it, but gets his pocket picked. And that puck didn’t go to Terravine. It is going to go back to the Chicago zone and they dump it in. Faber sends it out and they get to dump it out or they get a dump in this case here. Chicago was doing a good job on the Wild’s power play. Literally getting possession just dumping it down the length of the ice and Wild doing a better job of that. And oh, Wild player down and we’re going to have another penalty this time on Chicago. Man, Naser laid the body out. Oh, wait. Bard’s taking it. Okay, hold on. We got to see the replay here. Oh, cuz he’s going for the holding. I thought it had something to do with the hit, but yeah, Wild Player got laid the [ __ ] out here. Oh, the hook took I literally there was a whole other hit. They didn’t even show the hit. There was a hit that happened on the play, too. I don’t know who went down, but regardless, that was a that was a blatant hook by Conor Bard, but my eyes were on the player got hit just left of him. But anyways, two on or four on four for 1 minute and 12 seconds now. What’s with the penalties? Yeah, choppy first period, guys. Choppy first period indeed. Oh my god, like what the hell is this? It’s cuz I started doing watch parties again. I jump on and the games end up just in complete [ __ ] Trap, the last game we did was the Pittsburgh game, like three weeks ago. 47 seconds in the wild zone. Battling corner. Chicago gets it back. Chicago with it. Woo! Weaving back to the blue line. Oh my god. Some nice moves by the Blackhawks here. Renzel now was playing like walking the blue line beautifully. Ends up going back to his own zone. D partner and they’re going to set reset here. Oh, too many man. Does anyone knows how good Ryan Green is? Four on four. 10 seconds remaining on it. 10 remaining in the period. Halfway through 9:41. E tried his man at center, unable to do so, but coming out of the box and the Wild are now on the power play for 40 seconds. Buy him with it right side. Buy him. How old is Ryan? He’s only 22, eh? Oh, shot from the blue line. That doesn’t get through. Buham still has it. Zukarelloo. Buham on the left side. Circle shot. Buham. That’s wide. Baldi. Zukarelloo. 10 seconds remaining on the power play. Buy front of the net. Capri on backhand. Doesn’t get through. Buham sends it back. Oh, and a missed golden chance there. As the broadcaster says, it was a beauty opportunity. 840 and a turnover. Chicago length of the ice shot save. Chicago still has it. Back to the blue line. Another shot. Gustoson with another save there. He was tested right off a tip as well. 8:22 and the Chicago Blackhawks slow things down as they break out. Wilder able to complete their change. Blackhawks have it in the corner. Nice job by Minnesota. Faber with it. Faber battling now, but still with the puck. Sends it up the right side up the glass and not out of the zone. But reinforcements come in are able to bat that the length of the ice. And no, we’re going to have icing on Minnesota. What a crazy first period. And Bard, man, off the mask of freaking Gustoson and then sends it right in front of the net. Great job by Gustin getting in position there and just had his pads out and Chicago wasn’t able to get that tip. Guys, if you’re watching on YouTube, by the way, smash that like button, vote in the poll question. We still don’t have our first goal, but I need to do a few more squats. 758 shot by the Blackhawks. Good save by Gustin. Another shot by the Blackhawks. Another save by Gustin. That third follow-up didn’t get through. Maybe said this channel had an issue with Twitch X, but you stream on kick. I don’t stream on kick. We’re on Twitter and YouTube and Facebook. Um, it it’s not even that an issue with Twitch. It’s just like who is going to watch hockey commentary on Twitch? Nobody. I do it with my other channel that’s a little bit bigger than this one and it’s more like it’s covering combat sports which is way more global than hockey and it still doesn’t do well at all. So, um I don’t know. I don’t have time to learn Twitch on the level that would probably be beneficial. Yo, what’s up Halfen Frank? But no, we do on Facebook, YouTube is the hub and then uh on Hoppy’s Twitter account. What’s up, Hoppy? Good to see you, Halfad Frank. Speaking of the MMA homies, Half Deadad Frank, so like what’s your hockey team, Half Dead Frank? Okay, we have another fight. And speaking of good timing, Halfife Frank, is we got a fight to react to. Shout out to Brian again for sharing these. We got TV timeout, by the way, guys, with what did I say it was? 7 minutes left on the clock. Choppy ass period that weirdly is going by quickly. Weirdly is going by quickly. All right, here we got a fight, ladies and gentlemen. Iowa Wow, we got Butler involved in this one. Marino lands. He lands another uppercut from Butler misses. Butler trying to like Chris on Marino and tagging me and all the good [ __ ] Marino throws a right. I love how this is like right at the end of the first two. Another one that glances off. Uh, my buddy actually did his internship with the Milwaukee Admirals. I think sales or marketing or something. This is this was a better scrap. A little slower pace, but like at least the rest let this one go a little bit. 95. Like 95. That was a good fight. That was a good fight. Oops. All right, back at it. Face off. Not really won by anybody, but Chicago gets it back. Oh, nice hit at the blue line. Wild have it left side up center ice. Want a commercial? 720. What was the commercial? 712 man. Choppy ass game. No one’s really had much flow. Blackhawks have it. Center left side. Baddard pass to no one. Just dumps it in. Gusen, he’s been sharp so far as even though the Wild have had more time, I guess, setting up plays in their own zone. The Blackhawks have capitalized on the small opportunities they’ve had. Even if it’s just shots, breakaways, shots again, 10 to three in favor of the Blackhawks. If you’re on on hockey, Joseph, there are some that are a little bit I think I’m on the only one that’s actually like closest to in time. Terrain with a not really a shot up front. He tries to dig it in front of Gustin sharp as hell with a good save. And here come the Wild left side. They bring it up through center. They lose it, but they do bring it into the Blackhawks. Get it back in the corner. And Felo with an opportunity there. He tried to tuck this one in and unable to do so. Can’t get the rebound and the Blackhawks have it. They send it up into the corner. And team’s going to change. Wild. They dump it in. They have it in the corner. Baldi. Oh, nice check by the Blackhawks. Puck comes out. Blackhawks with it. Baldi fighting for it again. Baldi got it back for just a moment. Couldn’t complete his pass, but the Wild with it. They send it top of the circle. No one home to take it. I I I mean, it sucks, but we’ll get used to it as everybody does. I mean, I was annoyed when um GM place was changed to Rogers Arena, but got over pretty quick. Uh the X is just I mean XL center the X it’s just it’s that sticks so much more than the Grand Casino Arena and another save by Gustoen man again short little shot there in front of the net and some nifty passing by the Blackhawks. Hey the young guys look good, Joseph. The young guys look good. It’s going to take a It’s going to take a couple more years, but they’re going to pop eventually. They’re going to pop eventually. The prospects are too good, man. Oliver Moore, too. Shout out to the Gophers. All right, another TV timeout here with just over five minutes. Just over five minutes, guys. I want to remind you we got a lot going on this week and we got a lot coming up on this channel as well. But I don’t know if you guys saw, we posted a video earlier today. We uh we were able to collaborate with another brewery. That is right. I know I know a lot of you might be new to the channel, but those who’ve been following the podcast and the channel for a while, you guys will be familiar with this. our beer we did for the Minnesota Hockey State Tournament, the Turney Flow with our friends at Lupulin Brewing. Well, we collaborated with yet another local brewery, Back Channel Brewery, this week. Um, really special collaboration because always the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, they released their ode to Herb Brooks in their Soviet Slayer uh, Imperial Russian Stout. Well, we collaborated with them this year. And to tip our caps to Krill Capriovv, we have an Imperial white Russian coffee stout called the Soviet Savior that we collaborated with Back Channel Brewing with. So, we willh watch a little bit some clips of that tasting and review slvlog uh in between periods. But if you want to watch the full thing, it is posted to the channel. So go check that out when you have a little time. Uh most of the chat probably uh was that Russian Imperial Stout? Oh, it was un I mean A Trav every year uh back channel their Imperial Stouts are awesome. B we collaborated with them with it so you know it’s good. We wouldn’t collaborate with someone who put out a bad beard trap. No, it was awesome. It was awesome. 446 and we are back again. Shots 14 to four in favor of the Blackhawks or 14 to five. Sorry. 14 to five. Pucks going to up and out of play here. I mean, put it this way, ESPN, they are salivating tonight cuz they’re like, man, so many opportunities to get these ads in. So many opportunities to get these ads in. But yeah, Hoppy and I will be trying two the two other Imperial styles. They have a barrel age 2024 Soviet Slayer and a 2025 Soviet Slay Slayer that we’re going to be trying tomorrow. We’ll probably film a little vlog for that as well. But the Soviet Savior, man, so good. So good. 434. The official beer of Capri Kil Capriovv. The official unofficial pass at center. Unable to keep it, man. It’s Chicago in late November. I can’t blame the ice cuz only the Wild are bumble [ __ ] these passes. Chicago with nifty passing play all throughout this first period for the most part. 405 puck trickles away from the corner. I think Faber thought he thought thought it was in his skate. Chicago keeps it in around the boards. Back to the blue line. Chicago dumps it around the boards again. Left side. Chicago with it. Top of the circle pass to center but unable to get that shot off. Blue line comes alive. Great job by the Blackhawks for keeping possession singlehandedly for the most part. But a good job of the Wild for separating the man from the from the puck and being able to complete a change. Blackhawks left side. 3 minutes and 20 seconds remaining in the period. Shot by the Blackhawks. Center rebound. Good job by the Wild. Get the rebound. Send it to the right out. Not quite out of play. And Black Rockck send it back in front. And Gustin with another save. Dude, Renzel has been absolutely on it tonight. And another great save by Gustoson. And speaking of being on it tonight, the Gus Bus this first period. He’s been a wall man. Nazar’s been good tonight as well. 257 Wild with it at center. They lose it but hard on the body there. Puck goes back. Wilder able to hold on to it. Pass right side. They dump it in. Pitlick on the ice. Let’s hope there’s no decapitations here. 241. I mean, he might see red because everyone in the Blackhawks jersey is in red. Right side Blackhawks shot from the blue line. Saved by Gustoson. Tell me that was Pitlick. Gustoson was knocked down because of a cross check by the Wild on a Blackhawks player. A knockdown Gustin back up. Shot from the blue line that goes wide. Dude, Hawks having the better period for sure. 212. Bad pass by the Blackhawks. Wilder able to get it back, but no reinforcements there. only able to dump it in and dumping in for an icing in that 2 minutes on the clock. We’re not a faceoff in the wild zone. Gustoson keeping this wild team in it early, but he has freaking bulldozer. Donado into Gustosen. Freaking Pitlick. What I’m saying, man. Pitlick trying to take people’s heads off. Oh, that hit the post, bro. God damn. the hockey gods. Philip Gusison. Damn, he plays damn good against the Hawks. 50 and1 against the Hawks. 1.8 goals against average. 155 remaining. Wild send it in. Blackhawks net minder forced to make the play. Backhand Hawks lose it at center. Wild dump it in. Battling corner. Losing it. And the Blackhawks with a cross ice pass. Not really many reinforcements, but a darn. Beautiful backhand play. Man, he’s so nifty. Beautiful backhand pass and shot, but that goes wide. Oh, never mind. That did hit Gusen. Just just nicked his pad. 18 shots to five for the Blackhawks. I swear I’m the curse, ladies and gentlemen. Or in Joseph’s case here, I’m the blessing. Every time I seem to do these watch parties, the Wild don’t have good games, Joseph. So, uh, whenever the Blackhawks play the Wild, uh, tune in. Tune in. Oh, that road up the stick, too. 1 minute and 7 seconds. Face off to the left of Gustoen. Still no goals, man. 24 shots in this game. 20 or 19 of them being from the Blackhawks. Hey, see you later, Joseph. Have a good one. Actually, uh, I’m talking quite a bit, Joseph. Just saying. Just saying. Pass to the corner. Blackhawks with it. Left side center. Left side again. Blackhawks shot scooped up by Gusen. 37 seconds remaining or 38 seconds remaining in the period and we’re going to have another faceoff. Yeah, November Gustin has gone 41 and one and yes, we’re Walstat 5 and 0. And what a what a turnaround. I mean, obviously Gus’s stats weren’t the best in the first little bit of the season, but they weren’t as bad as maybe they could have been with how bad the Wild were playing overall. But Wall-ally stats look good. His stats are looking pretty good in this small turnaround. And his stats always tend to look good against the Blackhawks. Another faceoff win by the Blackhawks shot. Is that another Velic? That’s hilarious. Another shot by Vassic. And clear vision path. Clear lane and a left on the left side. And clear save for Gustin. Here come the Wild. 29 seconds. Right side. Shot blocked. Doesn’t get through the man. Chicago with it now. Left side. Coming through center. Pass dump behind the net. Wild try to get it back. Fighting twoon two in the corner. Final 10 seconds. Wild going to just dump it out here. 3 2 1 and that will do it for period one, ladies and gentlemen. And we still have a zero zero game. So the poll question doesn’t change. The poll question doesn’t change. Gustoen. Gustoson is the story. Gustoson is the story right now, guys. All right, let’s see how Twitter’s feeling about this game. I’m simply just going to look up MN Wild on Twitter. Let’s uh let’s see how the fans are see how the fans are reacting right now. Not thrilled. Not thrilled for the most part. Happy with Gustoen. Happy with Gustoen. What else do we got here? What else we got? Yeah, I mean, everyone for the Wild’s been pretty quiet. Some Baldi Capri offline has been okay, but it just seems like they’ve been a little sloppy. Haven’t been able to get much going other than a little bit on their power play. Second power play attempt. Good start, but need the Hawks to open the scoring big time. Hey, it’s not without a lack of trying with the 20 shots to five. First period in the books. Yeah, I mean not not a lot to take away other than Gusison’s been crushing it for the Wild and the Blackhawks have been peppering the Wild with shots and in the first half of the first period, it kind of seemed like whenever the Blackhawks had any sort of opportunity, they just they took it. They fired the puck on net. They started to set up a little bit more towards the end of the first period. You know, a little bit more tired legs for the Wild. They have a little bit more room to do so. And after just penalties galore. And yeah, by the way, what was that weird stretch of penalties for both of these teams there? Back and forth, back and forth. Four on four. Four on four. But uh this game could be honestly two. There’s a few shots in the Blackhawks clear lane saves Gustin needed to make, expected to make, and he did. But this very well could have been or could be a two- game for the Blackhawks if the Gus bus was not revving tonight. Um, yeah, that’s all I really have from that first period. Not too too much to to cover. Um, one thing I will before we’ll take a quick commercial break here, then we’ll give a shout out to our friends at um, Zambonies, but I want you guys also to check out our friends at Waggle Golf.

How you doing, Real Goose? How you doing? Embarrassing first period. From everyone except Gus. From everyone except Gus. I honestly thought Felina was going to throw some hands there at the end of the first period just to get the boys going. But then I look at Chicago’s uh roster and I go like other than Bertusi. He’s not like a fighter by any means. He’s just kind of a rat who need who who if needed would throw throw hands like Joseph just left. But to any of the Chicago fans in the chat here like who are some of the Blackhawks? There are no heavyweights in the league anymore. But who who’s the who’s the one guy on the Blackhawks who will throw hands? Cuz if this game continues to go scoreless, we’re going to see something. We’re going to see something to get the boys going. We’re going to see something to get the boys going here. All right. Um I’m going to take a quick break, guys, and then we’ll be right back with all the action. I see that there’s 30 plus people watching on YouTube. You guys are awesome.

We’ll take suggestions on well, let’s hope that there’s some goals and this doesn’t go into overtime 00 cuz that would make for a very bleak poll question here tonight. But um suggestions for poll questions present and future streams as well. And anything in the world of hockey, NHL, and of course your Minnesota Wild or Blackhawks. We have Blackhawks fans here as well. Uh hit me up in the chat. Again, we’re totally interactive this stream. It’s great to actually talk with you guys versus into the void void. Void void. Uh watching the Blackhawks AHL team Ice Hogs getting smoked five to one. Damn. Iowa Wild have been uh doing okay. You know what? We’ll react to those two fights as well on the other side. But I just want to uh those two fights again, I should say, on the other side. But just want to sneak in uh proudly sneak in. Uh shout out to one of our latest sponsors, ladies and gentlemen. We’ll be back on the other side. Do not go anywhere. More playbyplay when we get back to period 2. More interaction. We’ll go over NHL news, wild news, hockey fights, and of course take all your guys’ comments. And we’ll go over uh the box score for the first period as well. Bro, Peterson sucks. Holy Brian, I’ve been banging that drum since the first day you bang that drum. I don’t know if you heard, but on when I was filling in for Hoppy on uh Jud’s Buds, I was kind of I was like, “Yeah, you know what, Brian really shined the light on uh Peterson and uh Zeve and was like, “Oh, never seen you this passionate about a AHL goalie before.” Isa, yo, let’s go. Yo, Brian, Iowa is literally carrying the show. both in the minors and for us here as we have no excitement in this first period. Why can’t the Wild get past the first round of the playoffs? They are cursed by the hockey gods. Instead of watching this, just download Flash Score. It’s what he’s doing. Well, I mean, you could also hang out in the chat and watch as well. Guys, don’t listen to Corny. This is a watch party here. People are hanging out. I’m not holding them here against their will, Courtney. I’m not holding you guys here against your will, Corny. They want to be here. They want to hang out, watch hockey, share hockey fights. Cory uh Corn is just a little salty here, man. But by the way, yes, you guys can uh bring up Flash Core. You can bring up Flash Core and uh stare at that screen and talk to nobody as well. I mean, I don’t I don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but uh Minnesota did something to piss off the hockey gods. Absolutely. Absolutely. All the games, actually. All the games. The wild size and lack of physicality is the reason they can’t win in the playoffs. And well, yeah, I say I say curse a little tongue and cheek, but this is a good conversation starter for the chat. Um, yeah, it’s also because the teams have never had a lot of superstars and they’ve all and they’ve they’ve had a lot of really good teams. They’ve had a lot of teams with depth, but they haven’t had teams that have just had that extra star to get them over the hump. It doesn’t just come down to the stars. others. It it it comes down to a lot of things, but the the chat here is already speaking on it. Wild can’t get past the first round as the state sold and got crushed when they sent the Lakers to LA and they let the Northstars go to Dallas. The state sold its soul. There’s the lore. There’s the lore. Uh Peterson lets in a weak ass goal in the first period and lets in another one while Gus is here holding the fort in Chicago. My goodness. My goodness. Dude, I should watch the Iowa game lowkey. You know what, Brian? I I’m It’s funny you mentioned that. I want to start doing like mixing in an Iowa Wild game a couple times a month uh in the schedule as well. It all just comes out like, dude, I wish I could just do all 82 and I would, you know, I got to stream fights on the weekend for my other channel and then, you know, we all just have work and life and stuff, but I do want to make a really big push to do a few a few Iowa Wild games as well cuz I I love the AHL. I love the more physical brand of hockey and I love following prospects as well. So, um I like and at that point like who cares about the views, bro? If we just got the homies in Trav, Brian, Sandrock, you guys hanging out here watching some Iowa. Dude, I’m down. I’m down. Um, so I’m going to continue with the Wild game tonight, the Minnesota Wild game here tonight. But you know what we should do, Brian, is maybe on the next Wildly Informed or even maybe at the end of this stream or the next one, I’ll bring up like the calendar, we’ll just like we’ll circle some dates. We’ll circle some good games. We’ll circle some good games coming up. Anyways, I’m going to run this ad, take a quick break. I’m going to grab some more water. I uh I encourage you guys to do the same. Drain the main vein, refill your snack bowl, crack another cold one, refill the water bottle, whatever you need to do. Do a quick stretch back on the other side and we’ll get into uh some of the box score stats and continue to take your guys’ comments here. Uh smash that like button, vote in the poll question. I cannot believe we haven’t even had the opportunity to change the poll questions yet. And we’ll be back here after this quick break and word from our friends at Zambonies on 7 Zambon on 7th restaurant and bar at 174 West 7th Street right across the street from Grand Casino Arena.

Come get it. And we are back, ladies and gentlemen, live here on the Sodap Pod YouTube channel. And if you’re watching on Facebook and Twitter, end of the first period here, guys. End of the first period, a scoreless first period. I’m new to you YouTube channel. Do you cover wild hockey exclusively? Oh, um, we cover wild hockey. It’s wild focused. I’ll say that. wild focused, but a lot of NHL prospect talk, a lot of uh general NHL talk and news, a lot of world juniors and and now Olympic coverage and like when the playoffs roll around, the Wild are usually out of it or out of the first round. So, there’s a lot of playoff coverage as well. So, definitely Wild Focus shows I would say the W Juds Buds is prospects, NHL prospects and Minnesota Wild Focused. Um, wildly informed is Wild Focus, but a lot of NHL news and just analytics. Um, and then we have some college hockey talk as well with mostly covering the Gophers, but again, once we get closer to the tournament and when there’s other big rivalry games out there, they touch on them as well. So, yeah, I’d say Wild Focused as you can see with the branding. But I’m from Western Canada, so I’m actually a Vancouver Conucks fan. But I’ve been hosting a Wild podcast and covering the Wild and now living in Minnesota for shoot like four years. I’ve been doing this Wild podcast for like six years and I’ve been living in Minnesota for shoot like over four years now. Um, and then the co-creator of the podcast because it was a podcast before a YouTube channel. So you can find the podcast wherever you get your podcast from. It’s on all the platforms, the Soda Pod. Uh the co- the co-host of the podcast and co-creator of like the channel and brand. He uh he grew up in Minnesota, but he’s a little bit old, like a few years older than me, and there wasn’t a team when he was growing up as a kid here. So, he’s a Pittsburgh guy, but obviously with an interest in the Wild. And then the Prospect guy is actually from Boston. So, we have two guys, you know, one of the hosts is from Minnesota and our producers from Minnesota, and they’re wild fans, but we’re a big mixed bag of just hockey lovers who are all kind of just in this uh United States hockey bubble that is the state of hockey. Uh, I was one, but I was downtown in 2011, and that [ __ ] was wild. I I was escaping downtown. I should say, let’s be honest, I can’t even incrim incriminate myself if I wanted to because they literally arrested everybody and well, not necessarily arrested, but charged everybody who was caught on any sort of camera or anything down there. And I was getting the [ __ ] out to put it lightly when that [ __ ] went down. But great to see you, Real Goose, and welcome. We have a really fun community here. We uh have our podcast stream on the channel uh on Mondays and Wednesdays. Uh, Tuesdays. I don’t think we have anything drop on Tuesdays. Oh, look at that. We’re already back. Look at that. Went by quickly. Second period, by the way. Continue to keep the comments rolling, guys. It’s a comment driven live stream. Like, I call I call we call these watch parties because instead of me just hanging out by myself or with a friend watching these games, well, I get to do some reps and commentary and yap as I love to do and get to hang out with other hockey fans out there and meet you guys. So, thank you guys for hanging out. You guys are awesome. beautiful. Let’s get back to the action. 20 shots to five for the Chicago Blackhawks. Maybe I’m the curse. Maybe I’m the curse. Maybe the hockey gods have nothing but love for the while. Maybe I’m the curse, ladies and gentlemen. And the Blackhawks get it back. They win the battle on the boards. Blackhawks shot left side that gets through. Bounce off Gusen and goes left. Blackhawks still have it. They send it back into the corner. Blackhawks with it. Pass right in front of the net. unable to capitalize on that and send it home. But again, the little short passes near Gustoen have been really dangerous coming from the Chicago Blackhawks 1854. I posted in the chat during the last commercial break, guys, but we did interview Yesper Walstat, the wall of St. Paul on the last Fellowship of the Rink podcast. The full video of the podcast and just the interview are on the channel. I linked the interview or I linked the podcast episode for you guys in the chat as well if you want to check that. Check that out after this. We’ll run a snippet of it in the second intermission. Blackhawk cycling the puck so well. What is this? A power play. Oh, and it evades the blue line. The Blackhawks going have to tag up. Oh, I’ve seen it, buddy. I’ve seen like you said, I’m a Vancouver Canucks fan. It was It was awesome. It was awesome. So, are you a Rangers fan or are you just general hockey fan? 1802. If you’re a Blackhawks fan, then well, you guys beat up on the Canucks for a while. So, all we got the slay the dragon can capriovv leaves it to Zukre. Zuko shot or leaves it to bean. Sorry. Capriov to Zukella. Backhand pass to be Gojian. What a shot there, but doesn’t hit the mark. Blackhawks pressure the Wild outside of the zone. A shot and Renzel man blocking a shot there and he’s slow to skate off. Detroit, let’s go. Yo, Datsuk, one of the best players that I’ve ever seen play the the game of ice hockey. Like, it’s just unbelievable. the magic man. Dude, probably could have played a few more years in in the the NHL as well. I mean, Zedberg had some decent seasons until the end. And I know was uh Datic wanted to spend time and get to know his daughter in Russia. Didn’t he win like the Gregarian Cup like the year after he left? Dude, he did. He won He went to St. Petersburg in SCA. 34 points in 44 games and won the the title in St. Petersburg. and retired in Yakin Tekkenberg in 2021. What a beauty. 1712 and high stick on Trenan and the penalties continue to roll on. Dude, that’s awesome. Real good. That’s kind of like me as well. I like I’ll watch like obscure leagues. I grew up in Northern Canada where like we had BCHL and WHL. And to me, like for a little kid, I loved my Prince George Cougars and Spruce Kings more than more than the Canucks, right? So, I dig that. I just I love the sport more than the NHL. But obviously, it’s like it’s [ __ ] NHL. As much as I say, “Oh man, go watch the English league or like the LNH is a lot of fun.” You know, it’s a lot of fun if you like the violent brand of hockey. Can’t deny that the National Hockey League is where it’s at. as far as just the crazy matchups. All right, Blackhawks power play left of Gustoson and the Wild win this and they’re going to send it down the length of the ice. Good start to the PK for the Wild. I have the next fight teed up, Brian. Thank you so much for tagging me in them. And guys, if there’s any other like dope minor league fights or Euro fights that you guys have uh seen on Twitter, tag me in them atvasports talk. I got mini and over and these guys can’t score [ __ ] Yeah, they’re not scoring anything here. Only five shots on net and they’re on the PK now. 1637 Wild. Good PK though, but unable to get this out and Bard with a shot and a beautiful save again by Gustin that might have actually trickled off of Bertusi back down. Regardless, Gustoson sharp here tonight. Oh, Favor wasn’t able to clear it. It was bouncing. This is what I’m saying, man. Like, it it it’s freaking winter time in in Illinois. I know the ice is good. And the Chicago Blackhawks have been making some damn good passes. So, I know the ice is good, but it looks like it’s freaking Tampa freaking Stanley Cup finals midsummer ice right now. We don’t have an NHL where I’m at locally, but I finally caught my first live game two years back. A Montreal destroyer was quality original six experience. Did you see them in Detroit or in Montreal? I mean either or would have been awesome. No, that’s amazing. Dude, I’ve seen Montreal play live, but I’ve gone to live games in Calgary, Vancouver, and Minnesota. The Saddle Dome’s a dump, but it’s a fun barn to party in. It’s just a fun barn to watch hockey. The last of the old Barnes and last of the 90s feeling barns cuz they literally got tube TVs and everything’s brick. Bard trying to do everything himself here doing his best Capri off impression. The Wild are able to knock him off the puck and they’re able to send this back down the length of the ice. 30 seconds remaining on this Blackhawks power play. Oh, Bard’s pissed as he slaps his stick against the glass as he goes to the bench. Donado, former Wild Shot, save rebound and the Wild push it back into the Hawk zone and 5 seconds left. That’s going to do it. Oh, nice. What kind of cereal? I don’t munch on cereal anymore because I just end up eating the whole box in like one day and then I’m [ __ ] feel sick. It’s like crack to me. Even if it’s like mini wheat, doesn’t matter. Even if it’s like non sugar cereal, I just [ __ ] mow it. 1451 Blackhawks in the corner. Wild get it back. They send it up the left side. Unable to hold on to it. Center. Good poke by Chicago. Push it back into the Wild Zone. Gustoen hands it off again. Good job by the Blackhawks holding that center. Captain Crunch rips you out of uh the your mouth though. 1424 and a shot right at center and score. Wow. He was wide open. He was wide open. Wide open in the slot off a moving puck. Beautiful. Beautiful. Just got to watch the roof of your mouth with that Captain Crunch. I’m pretty sure that [ __ ] was banned in Canada. I was doing that the other day. Mini Wheats, dude. I love me some mini. Jason freaking Dickinson, man. Dude, what am I saying? A bounce over stick here. Look at this. And also Dickinson was just right there ready to go. What’s up, Kenny? Well, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Whoever voted Blackhawks in the poll question, you got it right. We’ll tee up a new poll question here in a moment. Second goal of the season, man. He hasn’t scored since October 5th. And the Blackhawks are up one. 68% of you said the Wild are going to score first. And you know what I got to say? It’s about time for the Blackhawks. It’s about time with 23 shots to five. The Minnesota Wild have not gotten one single shot off this period yet, guys. All right, for check here for the Wild. They have it in the corner. Send it back to the blue line. Right side, left and Shaw just sending it up in front of the net. That doesn’t get through. 1352. I know you don’t care, but we care. Wild unable to get really anything going in the offensive zone. They still have the puck but it got knocked into the into center ice. Capriov now weaving waving. Capriovv still with it right side backhand kind of a pass to nobody but Zero had it for a moment. Shot blue line back in front of the net and that’s going to settle things down as Chicago forced to make a save. Cover it up and we should have a faceoff in the Blackhawk zone. Wait, what’s going on here? goalie skating off. Nice. Dickinson. What is the number one hockey betting strategy? What do we win for picking the Blackhawks? Um, you’re a smart guy. You’re a smart guy. You’re a smart guy. I don’t know. I do have an old wild hat I could give away. Like, it’s it’s it’s old but not used. cuz it’s still in the bag. I pick Hawks to score first. At a boy. What a boy. All right, let’s check out this fight here. So, the the Iowa Wild the Wild’s farm team are actually playing a game right now as well. And big shout out to Brian who’s been sharing uh he’s been tagging me in a bunch of fight, three fights already for the Iowa Wild. And we’re gonna react to the latest one here. Marino lands one. He lands another over the top. Now Marino lands one. He lands another uppercut from Butler misses. Butler trying to free his left hand trying to switch on Marino. The helmet of Butler pops off. Marino throws a right. Another one. And that one scores. Oh, another one that scores. Another one. Oh man. But yeah, Butler’s getting his ass butler. Oh man. Oh man. All right, let’s check out the other one. Oh, no, we reacted to the butler one already. Am I tripping? Still in TV timeout, by the way, guys. Here’s the first one. Yeah. No, the Butler one we we we checked out already. And that was a good fight. This one not as good of a fight, but Lampos is there. Honestly, the ref saved saved the Iowa guy from getting pummeled. Lambos and Mutter back their way to center ice any further. So, don’t hate it. Lambos reaches in as Mutter grabs him. Lambos throws a right. Mutter’s helmet flies off. You have no idea how you got it. I remember I literally bought a bunch of these ones to do giveaways early podcast, so like six years ago. And uh and I think one just never got sent or I don’t know what happened. Yeah, I know. I know. But we’re we’re watching the games. I I don’t know how many other people are betting on the game. Hey, I hope you’re bet. I hope you’re I hope you win some money tonight. But, uh, as long as as long as the Wild get the win or the Blackhawks get the win, most of the chat are just if they’re on one side or the other. That’s what they’re that’s what they’re hoping for first and foremost. But I hope your bet hits and that you’re uh a lot richer waking up on Thanksgiving. I also have a wild Oh, you read that Bashel talking to the players more on the bench. He needed to do that. I like Bashel. He’s a good coach. 1228 23 shots to seven and Gusen sends it around the boards. Wild with it left side. Dump it in. I won with a New Jersey and under and got mini over ABS under. Get the ABS under. Interesting. Oh, tip plate broken off by the Blackhawks, but that was close. 12 minutes. Blackhawks get it back behind their own net. Wild on them. Right corner. Blackhawks still with it with some speed. Good defense by Middleton taking the body. Wild still with it. Pass up the boards. Cross ice. [ __ ] That would have been nice. It was kind of a diving pass, but the Wild uh calm things down. Oh, we got a fight, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s go, baby. Middleton dropping the gloves here. Middleton with two big right hands. Middleton takes him to the ground. Let’s go, baby. Not a long one, but that’s the NHL for you. Middleton laid the body down. And Colton Doc answered. Colton Doc’s still yelling at him here. Oh, come on, boys. We need another one in the third. You know, this is actually big. The Wild needs something. They had a huge hit on the blue line and then you want to [ __ ] with Midsy and eat some right hands. Hell yeah, dude. Let’s go. This fired me up. Just got to fire up the the guys on the boys or fire up the boys on the bench. Chucking Knucks five minute each fighting. Who is this ref? Give him my money. Five minutes. Chucking Knucks five minutes each. No joke. That’s what he said. I love it. That’s right. Get pissed off. Let’s get hangry. Hines shuffled up the top two lines. First line is now Capriov. Ericson Baldi. Second line Johansson. of Zukarello. Good eye. Good eye. Oh man, dude. Middleton landed a big shot to the back of the head of freaking Doc. Sick. We’ve had some the Dude, the Iowa Wilder fighting, the Minnesota Wilder fighting. Y’all know I love when hockey players throw down, so I’m all smiles. I’m all smiles. Even though the Wild are down one. All right, we’re back at it. We’re back at it. Capriovv with the puck behind the Wild net coming through center ice with speed weaving through one and two Blackhawk players still with it. Pass in front back to the circle and Pus can’t get through or Shaw can’t get through and shot at center by the Blackhawks. Good save by Gustin. Blackhawks still have it now behind the net. Blue line right side. Wild need the pressure here. They’re giving too much space to the Blackhawks defenseman. Left corner shot power. Sorry, pass back at center. Shot that goes wide back to right side or left side of Gustoson. Blue line pass the center again looking for that one-time but that’s broken off by the Wild. Pass the center right side. Twoon two. Wild looking for more reinforcements. And here they come. Wild being able to hold the puck here. Wild can’t hold the line. And there’s Green again. Joseph mentioned him earlier. He’s had actually he’s had some good moments here in this game halfway through this period. And the Blackhawks enter the zone. Left wall. Blue line shot doesn’t get through. Puck trickling into the corner. each each guy or each team’s chopping at it. Puck trick goes in front of the net. Pushed away by Gustoson. Blackhawks with it. Honestly, it’s kind of just like both of the players just chasing for this puck around and around the corner left side pass to the right. shot by the Blackhawks and again bounces off into a wild stick Blackhawk stick and now bounces the length of the ice and it will be icing. That was a weird sequence. It was just like both both teams were chasing the puck behind Gus back and forth and then it was like the Wild would get it back, try to make a pass. Blackhawks would get it, try to make a pass. Wild would intercept, make a pass. It was just like freaking tic-tac-toe in there. All right, here we go. Back at it. Face off to the right of Gus Bus, who again has been excellent tonight, only letting in one goal so far, but Blackhawks going to force this puck in front of the net. They go left, left wall. Battling and Blackhawks win it. And shot. Great save by Gusen. Rebound shot and Gustin blocked again. Third opportunity. Can’t whack at it. Still having it. Blackhawks still with it. Shot again for the blue line. That goes right in wide. Bouncing off the backboard. Wild try to take this out. They send it out. Not going to be icing as the Blackhawks retrieve it. Trenon right there. Membos. Looks like Crow Man. Hey, cheers Kenny. Shout to the soda. Uh, the soda life pod one in 853. How’d you like the beer review, Kenny? All right, looks like we’re going to go to a TV timeout. Um, again, reminder, guys, check out the Yesper Walstat interview on the latest episode of Fellowship of the Rink. Link in the chat there. Also, I know you guys have been liking the beer content and we just posted the Soviet Slayer tasting and vlog. We also sat down with our friends at Dangerous Man Brewing a few weeks ago. They are back, their beers are back on shelves of liquor stores locally here in the Twin Cities. So, very excited for our friends at Dangerousman to be back in operation. We sat down with them a few weeks ago. Link to that in the chat as well. Thought to myself when y’all were talking about the Minnesota podcasters probably aren’t 100 podcasts larger in Minnesota. How many could there be by Minnesota standards? You got to be big now. We’re like one of the wild podcasts Minnesota hockey brands out here for sure. The big ones are just established and have been around for a while and they’re awesome. Um, but football is like is king, right? Like even though this is the state of hockey and hockey I would say here is probably bigger than I know anywhere in the states. I mean Michigan, I mean Illinois, Boston, the Boston area should s Massachusetts like those are all good hubs as well. Oh, the city life. There’s there’s You’d be surprised how many [ __ ] creators there are in in the Twin Cities. There was one guy who I think he’s a like 20,000 subscribers and he just goes around and asks people like, “What’s your favorite city in Minnesota? What’s your worst favorite city in Minnesota?” And that’s that’s his thing. And he like I think I think he even did something similar at the state fair, too. All right, back from the TV timeout here, guys. And you know what? I think we’ll we’ll play a little snippet of the the Walstat uh interview as well. Next TV timeout or not next TV timeout, next uh intermission. Last intermission. All right, back at action here. 848 and the Blackhawks leading by a goal. And could be more with how many Gustin has saved here tonight. 25 to seven in shots in the wild. Only having two shots in this second period 826. And the Wild doing a good job of keeping the zone in. Passing behind the net. Wild in front. Unable to backhand that one in. Wild still with it. Blue line. Faber back to the right side. Shot doesn’t get through, but the Wild have it. Fighting for it in the corner. Wilds still have it. Right side up the boards. Top of the circle trying to pass the center, but that is intercepted by the Blackhawks. Here comes Baddard. Backhand pass left side back to Bard. And what a goal, man. Baddard with a tip in front. What a goal. What a goal. What a play. That was insane. Gus, I don’t blame you for not getting that one. That was a sick [ __ ] play. Talk about tic-tac-toe, man. The Blackhawks have been passing those short, nifty passes in front of Gustoen throughout this whole game. Oh my god, what a play. What a play. Oh my god, dude. So, Baddard comes up, backhand pass, Bratusi to Renzel to Baddard, who catches it right when he skates across the crease. That was nasty, bro. That was nasty. Emotional damage. That’s 20 for the Blackhawks. Benzy. In 2006, Minnesota Wild had a minor league affiliate with the Houston Arrows. H on the Texan Wildcatterers ECHL. Hell yeah. I remember the Houston Arrows. I remember I mean I remember when the Wild were affiliated with the Houston Arrows. 7:30. That That was That was nasty. I don’t care if you’re rooting for the Wild or not. That was that was if you’re a fan of hockey. That was nasty. That was nasty. I mean, we’re we’re wild homers here for sure, but we’re not like Hank the Tank hating the other team, right? Like, we got we got Joseph here in the chat. He he’s a he’s a Hawks fan. All right, sorry. Back to the action here. 7 minutes on the clock and delayed penalty on the Blackhawks and the Wild are going to have an opportunity to get on the power play. Dude, you don’t even have to say sorry. Renzo looks sick. He’s a fun player to watch. He’s definitely been a stand out in this game. And Baddard is is like literally looks special every time he’s on the ice. Holding for the Blackhawks. Let’s take a look. Yeah, dude. I’m clear as day. Holding right in front of the ref. You can’t do that. McKay, is that who took the penalty? Former Leaf. Like the Hawks. this year, but I thought for sure this would be a battle mini would come out on top of. Still a lot of hockey left, but yeah, definitely they seem like they’re in a little bit of a funk. And you got to give credit where credit is due to the Blackhawks. They’ve been playing some good hockey here tonight as well. 147 remaining on this power play or on this power play, I should say, for the Minnesota Wild. They have it in the Blackhawks zone, but good defense by the Hawks, but Baldi has it left side in the corner. Baldi back to Capriovv back to Buam on the blue line left side. Zukarelloo shot and that goes up and wide that trickles left board and back to Buham. And Buam’s going to have to reset. I like the Minnesota Wild white 25th anniversary jerseys. They will uh become as an away. Hey, I love it too. I have one actually. Well, actually I have the original. This is a 2003 CCM. 2003 CCM. None of that fanatic [ __ ] Boo left side. Zukarelloo. Zukella in front. Nobody there to tap it in. 55 seconds remaining on the clock or sorry remaining in this power play. 550 remaining in the period. Bam holds the line. Erikson in front of the net. Capri off looking for the back hand. can’t get it in. And digging at it is Zukello on the goal line. He pokes it and the ref says no goal. Zukarelloo Capriov was there in front of the net. Zukarella says, “Fuck that noise. I’m just going to poke him at poke him. Give him a couple pokes there.” And the ref goes, “Nope. Nope.” So Capri off in front of the net tries to get the tip and you know it’s like right under Oh, dude. It didn’t fully cross the line. It didn’t fully cross the line. It was close, man. It was close. Didn’t fully cross line. It was close, though. Oh, it about half crossed the line. It went through. Half cross the line. No, Urban. It has been It has been tough sled. And the Wild only had five shots going into the second period where the Blackhawks had 20. Yeah, but you know what, Joseph? You’re a [ __ ] beauty. Halfway across the line. Halfway across the line. 20 seconds remaining on the power play. Yurovv sends it around the boards. Spurgeon. Faber. Faber to Spurgeon. Back to Faber. Faber shot. That doesn’t get through. Felo in the corner. Uh, no. Tonight, Pitlick was in, Ogen was in. Um, yeah. So, 4:44. Hopefully after Thanksgiving in a full belly of turkey. Man, Trenton’s fast. Not doing much else with it, but man, he’s fast. Put it up in the corner. 428. Put what up in the corner? So, they decided not to show up. Choppy first period. Weren’t able to really get anything going. And the Blackhawks, in fairness to them, were just shooting a lot more. Like even if the shot wasn’t a good shot, they were just throwing a lot at Gustin. and they had two really good plays. The second one in particular, can’t really blame Gus on those one. He’s been absolutely stellar. But yeah, it looks like the last time I was streaming Urban, I was saying maybe I’m the curse. Every time I jump on here for watch parties, the Wild seem to freaking melt and oh, there’s another one. Bad rebound. There’s another one. Shot to the left side of Gusen. He makes the save. The rebound right to Bertusi and Bertusi puts it home. Emotional damage. You guys are going to have to figure out Spencer Knight. Not even that. Just get some shots on Spencer Knight. I mean, obviously, but like if there’s no shots, there’s not you don’t even have anything to figure out. Oh, what a freaking So, Baddard with the shot. Saved by Gustin, but nasty rebound. And right to Bertusi. Bertusi is just him, bro. He got it, man. Yeah, if shots were a little bit more similar, Joseph, I’d be like, “Oh, yeah, exactly.” But I’d be like, “Exactly that.” But this is just a straight up ass whooping. And Gustin being held out to dry again. Although that was a bad rebound. Oh, are they saying it’s offside? Minnesota challenges it, dude. I mean, that would be that would be a gift. We need Brandon Sad, Trevor Ziggress to join the Wild. I mean, Brandon Sad, I think, is a little over the hump. But Trevor Zris, so I’m waiting for December to form an opinion on this team. When it’s been bad, it’s been really bad. When it’s been good, it’s been really good. We have very few hoham, whatever games. That is true. That’s a great uh that’s a great point, Mike. Offside. Offside. Oh my god. Ladies and gentlemen, that one’s going to be overturned. That one’s going to be overturned. The Wild with a little puck luck here. It’s only a two- game. Still the worst lead in hockey. Good to see you, by the way, Mike. I promise, guys, there’ll be a watch party where the team actually plays some good hockey. I promise. Hines with the clutch. Let’s go. He saw it. He saw it, baby. All right, here we go. 355. Wild win the faceoff. Oh, uh, Nick Fino, by the way, is on commentary, which is pretty cool. He’s been on the commentary for most of the second period, actually. 333 fighting for zone entry into the wild zone and the Blackhawks parked themselves right in front of the net as a bad little turnover. Gus staying sharp battling behind the net. Blackhawks dude just with more dog in him tonight. Middleton had to fight and it didn’t fire up the boys at all. Like come on. Little scrum in front of the net. Spencer and I made the save. 306 remaining in the second period. Guys, Wilder Fraudulent team. Cre is your only player. You don’t know what you’re talking about, dude. If you actually wanted to come at the Wild, you would say that Baldi is your only player. This just shows me that you’re naive. Uh I don’t think the Wild are fraudulent. I think they are what they are. Probably a fringe playoff team. And Baldi has been their best player this year. So, get your facts right, dude. If you’re going to come at If you’re going to come at us, at least be right. Don’t look like a fool. Uh, Yonas Plum, I know at one point we were 17 18 on challenges. Seems like we win far more than we lose overall. I like that stat. I like that stat. That [ __ ] beautiful than a [ __ ] All right, back to TV timeout here. Probably going to be the I say that it’s probably going to be the last one, but they’ll sneak those dirty bastards. They’ll sneak in one more. They’ll sneak in one more. We’ll take a look at the box score after this period and um and we’ll take a little snippet. We’ll look at the Yesper Walstead interview that we uh featured on the channel. We posted it this morning, ladies and gentlemen, as well as our uh tasting and vlog with our collaboration featuring our collaboration with Back Channel Brewing. Dude, it’s been a it’s been a bad game, man. It’s been a bad game for the wild. It’s been a honestly though I’m impressed with what I’ve been seeing from the Blackhawks overall. Like the first 10 minutes for both teams was like insanely choppy. Again, I keep saying when the I when the Wild are trying to handle the puck, it looks like this is Tampa Bay Lightning ice in, you know, July, but for but for the Blackhawks, it seems, you know, like that cool winter Illinois smooth as hell ice. I mean, look at the way But Darden and Renzel and the boys have been handling the puck here tonight. The Blackhawks have been working their sticks really nice tonight as well. A lot of poke checks, a lot of breaking up passes and short plays from the Wild. Like whenever the Wild even like retrieve the puck in their own zone, the Blackhawks have been on them. They’ve had a sneaky good for check here tonight as well. All right, back in action. Wild have it. They win the face off in the Blackhawk zone trying to send it up the left side. Top of the circle. Shot goes through. Bouncing puck. Wild still have it. Good save by Knight. Wild have it in the corner. Still part of the problem early was five penalties in like 12 minutes. Hard to stay any kind of momentum or get in a groove with either team. True. But yet the Blackhawks were still just I wouldn’t say the Blackhawks were getting momentum as far as getting into like a flow. momentum, I guess, like shot chances wise, but they were just like shooting everything, even shots that like Gustoson could plainly see just to get that offensive zone face off. And sometimes they only had like a 3se second, okay, I’m just going to shoot this. And the opportunity was good. Like it it forced Guffson to make a really good save because there’s no defenseman there. So the rebound was going to no one if there was one. And some of the shots he wasn’t even anticipating. The Wild weren’t doing doing that. they were not being able to get set up due to like what you just said there. So, you thought many would have come prepared. Two minutes and they dump this one in and it goes up and out of play. So, they have a face off right outside of the Blackhawk zone. 153. Are they going to go to another timeout? They’re Dagistani hockey players do not exist. They’re all north of the the mount or they’re all in Russia. Russia, not Dagistan. Per drags. Baldi’s out for the rest of the game. Oh [ __ ] They haven’t said anything on the broadcast just yet, but I’m sure in between periods they’ll get to it. Yes, he is. Shout out to Nick Felino. 136. I like I haven’t I haven’t heard anything yet. 125. Blackhawks into the Wild zone. Twoon one and the Wild are able to get it back. Baldi’s on the ice right now. What are you talking about, dude? Dude, Baldi’s on the ice right now. Don’t listen to this guy. 58 seconds. Wild have it. Offensive zone shot in front of the net. Rebound not there. Baldi though gets sent to the ground but just wide. Unable to tip that one in. I know, dude. If you’re going to troll like that, just [ __ ] leave. Looks like mini woke up 10 minutes before the puck drop after the bender. What bender in Chicago? I mean, maybe 31 seconds whistle in the wild zone. Bard on the ice here. He’s been excellent tonight, man. Just what a what a great step forward of a season because he came in the league good. Now he’s great. Looking great. Blackhawks win the faceoff. Big hit by the Wild as Blackhawks try to get at least one more opportunity here, but Wild keep them in their zone into the corner. Wild get the puck back, but only for a moment. They send it to the blue line. Shot outside the circle and score. I don’t know if Erikson got the tip, but there we go. There we go. Faber with the shot. And doesn’t look like Erikson got the tip. That’s a goal from Brock Faber. and one goal game going into the second. Chicago actually a decent team. It’s weird. Please count. You think it’s going to be goalie interference? Oh, off Bertusi’s leg. Oh, 14 seconds. Doesn’t look like it hit a stick. Super slow-mo looks good. Looks like Hipperuzi’s leg. Good to see you, by the way, Sean. Pretty amazing Baldi’s able to be both out and on the ice. Is there anything this man can’t do? Finally got something. I thought it might have hit a stick. Fair enough given that like E had it over his freaking shoulder. My favorite Ottawa Senator player is Dylan Cousins and Thomas Shabbah. Mine is always Danny Heatley. [ __ ] allar. Oh, puck over the glass. Delay of game, man. And the Minnesota Wild with 3 seconds left in the second period are going to go on the power play, which means they’re going to start the third period up a man with plenty of time to work. Hey, what’s up, Trent? Best Cacina logos. One of the best hockey logos. Great to see you. Shout to Arizona. It’s freaking cold as hell in Minnesota right now. Hope you’re staying warm, brother. Delay of game. Let’s go. All right. One play here. Three, two, one, and that’s going to do it. Checking in from Calgary. What’s up, Kyle? Dude, love Calgary. Lived in Calgary for three years. I think it’s one of the most underrated cities in Canada. I wish the Coyotes would have succeeded for the Cacas alone. I know, dude. I know. But you know what? They will rise again someday. Gary Bman will not will not rest, will not hang it up, will not be buried until Arizona has another NHL team. I never left as being a Cody’s fan. Didn’t follow Utah Mammoth. So you following they do they still have a minor like do they still have a minor league team in Arizona? Alberta. Hell yeah man. I love Calgary someday. I mean I feel like it the market is there. They just have to have a rink. They just have to have a rink. Can’t have a hockey team without a rink. All right, guys. Quickly, let’s take a look at the box score of this game. Bringing up ESPN right now, which things got a little bit better towards the end for the Wild, but that this game has mostly been the Blackhawk show, ladies and gentlemen. But let’s go to the Wild here. Baldi with an assist. Um, how many shots on net? Four shots on net. E with the assist. Johansson with an assist, baby. Let’s go. Marcus Johansson on route to 60 points. Brock Favor with the goal. Favor crushing minutes as always with 16. He’s leading. Broaddin with 15 minutes. And the big hitters for the Wild are the ones you you’d think. Capri all with 15. Zukella with just under 13. E with 15. Baldi with 1430. Johansson with uh 12. And Ben Jones, man, he’s in six minutes tonight. Still no goal. Still no goal. Poor Ben Jones. How many more times are the Hawks going to give up a goal in the last 30 seconds of period? How many times has been happening this year? Go wild. What’s up, Brian? Do the Flames get uh Stenberg or McKenna, bro? But the way the Flames have been playing this year, it’s either going to be, you know, maybe the Conucks or Flames are going to be tanking for uh for one of those players. As I know the Flames said that they, you know, they’re open to making trades, too. But the Canucks literally like they they laid out the names that they don’t want people calling on, but pretty much everybody else ke Sherwood or on the table. Okay. Yeah. In Tucson, right? And they used the Cina Road Runner logo. I just didn’t know if they were still in Tucson or not, but I did I did know for a long time there’s a Tucson Tucson Road Runners, right? Yep. And Okay. Well, do you still follow Tucson though? Just because, you know, they may be AHL, but they’re still the local team. Minnesota’s fourth line has been so ass. Yeah. I mean, other than I can’t even I can’t even make an excuse. It has been. Oren’s been has he hasn’t seen the light of day. He’s been hasn’t been noticeable. No one’s really been noticeable on this fourth line. Um, what else do we have to get to here, guys? We’ll run uh we’ll run another ad from our friends at Zambon’s on seventh. Super pumped to be working with them this hockey season. Actually was just uh hung out there a few was it last week? Uh, great food. I had the walleye like walleye tenders appetizer. Oh my god, dude. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. good selection of beer. Get there a little bit before uh the big crowd, probably a couple hours before the game, before the big crowd to get some to snag some food. Um, and we uh we love partnering up with them. And it’s an amazing spot. Pregame or postgame, baby. Uh yeah, I always cook five to one. Hey, at least they got some fights in. At least they got some fights in. Hey, that’s cool. You enjoy the team or still follow the team. I believe Shane Don could be a good owner for the Coyotes 100%. or just some management role. Love Shane Dome, BC boy. Portland Hawks logo is the same as the Chicago Blackhawks. The old they changed it. They’ve changed it, but it used to be. Yes. Shout to Sven Burchie who used to dominate with the Portland Winterhawks. I’m all for Kefir Sherwood. Traded for him on NHL 26. The Deadlight Solom bottom six guy. Bottom six guy with 13 goals this season. Not a big deal. Second line guy on a bad team. Perfect third line player, dude. He’s all gas, no breaks. Goes north south Hudson Bay Row. Dude, there is no there’s only one gear and it’s give me the puck, I’m going to the net. I’m going to [ __ ] score. So I I love watching Kefir Sherwood. Dude, I saw that. Insane membership. I got to be a member. I gota I gotta squeeze in one before the weekend for sure. Go wild. Go wild. I know Predators are tanking. Yo, Predators are down there as well. It’s going to be like PRs, Calgary, Kucks, and Columbus hasn’t been good, but I don’t think they’re going to be bottom bottom barrel. Yo, Mike, thank you so much for becoming a member. Yeah, we are going to start being post we are starting to post uh interviews that we’ve banked for shows early for members. So, start expecting waves of those. We got some more ideas for members stuff uh come the new year. The Wild play like this against the ABS on Friday. It’s going to get ugly if they do. Yes, if they do. Yo, shout out to Mike again, dude. What a beauty. Beautiful, man. What’s up, Diesel? I’m going for Chicago. Hey, we got a mix of Chicago and Wild fans in here. Wild have a chance. Kraken scored three goals in the third period to beat the Blackhawks. Same could happen. Anything can happen in hockey. Kenny, you you I guess you deserve some commission on that sale. No, Mike will see three new interviews for members only tomorrow. Mike’s a be. We really appreciate it, dude. Uh, that was our seven win against the Red Wings and ended the losing streak. What happened to Steven Stamos? What happened? Did like f like he like for those who watch MMA, I mean, he had like the Tony Ferguson decline, the BJ Penn decline. He went from here to here in like two years. Hey, Kenny, I appreciate you hanging out, man. Literally, I was watching on TV and I just let my brother watch on my phone, so I went on live stream. Well, let’s go, Diesel. It’s good to see you. I still don’t exactly know how that puck stopped on a dime on that power play shot. I’m telling you, the ice, dude. The ice cliff. Dude, I am hardly the best YouTuber, but I appreciate the kind words. I appreciate the kind words. All right, we are going to have a quick break. Quick break on the other side.

I I I think this just means we’re going to have to make this an annual thing here. We’ve got now firmly Minnesota Wild goalender Yasper Walstat. Welcome back, buddy. Thank you very much. I think we had you on when last time we always asked guests their their nerd itch or what’s their kind of favorite thing off the ice and um I was wondering now I’ve talked to you before you said you guys play a lot of like Call of Duty together I guess as a team like take me through kind of how that works in terms of you’re on computers together like at night sometimes like how does that kind of all play out? Yeah. No, we um especially all the sweets try to um play some video games together. Um me and Gus plays uh kind of strike too uh a little bit with Krill as well. Broads jumps in sometimes and then uh Jojo Suki uh Echer and uh Gus and me sometimes plays COD as well. Uh more so last year. Haven’t been a lot of gaming this year. Uh but yeah, we try to play a lot of different games. It’s fun. So you guys are all on your own kind of computers at home. Like are you guys able to talk to each other a lot? like trash talk and stuff like that or like Yeah. Yeah. No, everyone owns a owns a computer at u at home. Uh some guys plays on controller, some guys plays on keyboard and mouse. Uh but yeah, it gets it could get heated uh pretty quick. Uh there’s there’s high high expectations there as well, like just like in hockey. So uh if guys are not performing, they’ll hear about it. So how do you guys feel about that, Yasper? I always get different opinions on this cuz I’m I’m not the biggest gamer I was back when I was in college, but like a lot of my friends still are very into it and there’s a lot of uh debate between whether or not like using keyboard and mouse versus controller is fair. Yeah. U especially in in games where you get the aim assist uh with the controller. I I do not think it’s fair. Uh I’m I’m a keyboard and mouse player. I’ve always played Cubert and Mal since I was uh eight years old probably. Uh so I think when I play COD and in games like that and I play against players that they use the um the controllers obviously they have way better aim than I do. So um I think that’s cheating for sure. Uh but then obviously when they try to come over and play keyboard and mouse in in games that I play then uh becomes pretty difficult for them. So uh no I I hate game aim assisting. I I want it to be pure skill. What’s the power rankings top three players top three gamers in those either Counterstrike or on Call of Duty? I’d say in Call of Duty, Jojo is uh is the best. Uh him and him and Suki and Neker I think plays the most. They’re pretty good. Uh and then in in Counter Strike, obviously I I’ve played a lot of CS. Uh so I I I give myself that one. Uh and I I played CS since I was 10. Uh I probably have close to 9 or 10,000 hours in CS. So, uh, I I am the highest rank. I’m, uh, the highest level. So, uh, that’s that’s my game of choice. Well, we we’ll get to some fan questions towards the end, but number one fan question I’ve received for you is where did the Sally come from? The celebration that’s now all over the internet. You know, speaking of good, you know, good shot, you’re pointing a good shot at the at the Raptors there. Like, I saw it in Iowa last year once at least. So, where did kind of the originate from? I think it started in Iowa that that shootout win we had there I think once or so. Uh and then this year it I guess it kind of came from nowhere. Uh I I we won that shootout game against uh LA and that’s s and then uh when when we scored that empty net goal uh and and I had my first shot out of the season uh I kind of just pointed the hand up in the air uh celebrating. It felt good. It was a lot of emotions and then um the pump is just kind of something excited that just comes out of nowhere. Uh, but I don’t know. It’s just just me trying to be myself and uh uh en enjoy the uh the time that it is right now. And and we’re having a lot of fun doing it. A lot of good reason for you to be, you know, excited and show emotion. A heck of a start for you this season. just like how gratifying is it for you um you know as an athlete as a player you have a a year you were frustrated with last year you know to come in here and prove in what you’ve been doing most of your career like how gratifying is it for you and I’m sure you had some doubters there along the way the last 12 months a couple of them uh obviously when you’re struggling as well you you read a lot of stuff about about yourself uh it becomes uh and you’re like ah it wasn’t my fault oh this guy is thinking I’m [ __ ] I’m a bust. Oh, everything it’s not my fault, it’s everyone else’s fault. Um, but then you kind of get into that bad cycle. Uh, but then obviously when it’s you’re succeeding now, it’s like, okay, uh, you’re you’re just laughing at all the comments you’ve got throughout throughout the way. you’re like, “Ah, you you uh didn’t think I was going to get here. You all of you guys thought I was a bust already after one bad year out of my whole career.” Uh so, in that way, it feels kind of good to prove just a little bit even though it’s a small sample size and and we’ve only I’ve only played seven games now and there’s a lot of lot of hockey left. Uh but it it feels it feels a good it feels good in the um in the beginning not to kind of uh point the middle finger back a little bit on uh I just try to get on the roll. Is that what the point?

You guys are awesome. Whether you’re a fan of the Blackhawks Wild or just any team in the National Hockey League hockey uh as a whole, we love the community here and we love hanging out with all you guys. So thank you. Thank you a thousand times. Thank you. And look at that. Perfect timing. Third period is upon us now. The Blackhawks for a few seconds were up three nothing. Goal was called back due to being offside. Wilder able to tie it with four or not tie it were able to uh cut the two goal lead to just a one with 14 seconds remaining. And the Wild did almost have a chance to score. We’re we’re just actually seeing right now on the broadcast with the puck almost trickled five hole over the line, half over the line. Wally seems like the kind of guy I’d be friends with. Very down to earth. He kind of reminds me of Jacob Marstrom a little bit too. Down to earth but with a little fire in him. And I just love that the the Minnesota Wild have two amazing Swedish goalenders. one a little bit more like serious cal cool calm cool collected but you know with obviously a little bit of uh steam to that bus engine of his but also like the veteran who’s under 30 still 27 right and then you got the fiery uh younger Swede and I don’t know it’s just it’s awesome like what a pair what a pair I’m from I’m from you know British Columbia I can say this having a pair of Swedes on your team is always a good thing. Shout out to Henrik and Daniel Sadine. All right, power play here for the Minnesota Wild to start this period. We’ll continue to catch up with all your guys’ comments here, but I want to focus in on the power play as Capriovv weaves this puck into the zone. Sends it around into the corner and the Blackhawks are able to clear. I really thought Riley Height would be like an Oliver Moore scorer, but he’s having a slow start. I know like the first five games there was a lot there, but it’s kind of slowed down a little bit. I’m hoping he picks it up towards the, you know, after in the new year. I just really want him to work out and that uh he starts being more comfortable with the pro game sooner than later. First year pro, still time to develop, but it’s one of those things like I wish he was able to play pro last year and then this year would have been like to polish up some of the mistakes. 38 seconds on the clock and the Blackhawks doing a really good job of jumping this puck back into the Wild zone. Nothing of note here for the Wild on their power play to start this period. Faber drops to Marcus Johansson. Leave it to Johansson, man. Is it pan time for the Oilers? And the way they lose 8-3 to Stars was so bad. They need a goalie, man. Obviously, defense as well has been collapsing in front of them defensively, but like so it doesn’t all fall on Skinner, but like I’m sorry, it’s just he ain’t the one. Spurgeon shot that trickles rebound right side. Wild have it again. Shot, rebound, left side. And now this puck’s going to bounce back to the length of the ice. And the Blackhawks full strength the full strength for the first time in this period. 1751 on the clock of the Wild come in with speed. Blackhawks great defense behind the net and in the corner. Wild break out with it. Blue line shot score and the Wild tip it in and Sturm sore. Sturm surge baby. Let’s go. First goal of the season for 78. Sturm sword. Sturm surge baby. Right when the power play ended too. He has two more. Nico with the goal. Middleton pass shot and a tip from the Sturm sword. He [ __ ] me up. Storm Surge Coyotes fans are cool people, but a lot of people didn’t appreciate us Yats fans. Dudes, uh, I have two really good friends who live in Arizona and used to work for the team actually for a little while. It’s a tie game, ladies and gentlemen. It is a tie game. Two two. I appreciate everyone in the live chat here again. You guys are awesome. Let’s get back to the action. Shots 30-13 or 14 now for the Minnesota Wild. Good job getting bodies in front of the net there as the Blackhawks had a shot. Didn’t get through and Blackhawks are actually going to make a change as Minnesota’s going to break out here. Right side. Wild send it up. Tip Capriov in in the corner chasing this puck. Feno exit Chicago games a lower body injury. Oh no. Well, it wouldn’t be a National Hockey League season without the injuries piling up here. Stery, that’s no good. Rough season for Marcus, man. 1631. I mean, he always plays hard and is always playing hurt it seems like, but none of the offense coming this year too is tough. Backhand way out of range. 16-21. Wilder able to keep this one in. Good job by Spurgeon in the corner. Nice defense by the Blackhawks. Beautiful check in the corner to knock the man off the puck. Jimmy, what’s up, buddy? How are you doing? Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, by the way. Come on, Chicago. Poke the sleeping bear. The Wild looking good to start this period. Not a good power play to be honest, but five on five plays look pretty good to start. This puck’s going to go up and out of play. Renzel with some words. 1556. Tie game, guys. Tie game. I got to take Blackhawks off the ticker here. Again, big shout out to everybody hanging out with us here tonight. We’ve got a great crowd for this Thanksgiving preview. Missed the oats. 1548. I’m good. Just chilling. Happy Bruins. Beat Islanders and happy for Morgan Geeky. Let’s go. That [ __ ] beautiful [ __ ] 1539. Wild have it at center. Wild win the battle. Nice pass. I mean, doesn’t get to EC, but EC with a big hit in the corner. Losing the puck though. Wild but the Blackhawks not a good pass in the neutral zone and Buham able to get it back here. Buham staying on the puck and good pass there by Buum. He wasn’t separated by the puck. Able to get it to be Gojian. B Gojan moves it up right side. Passes passes it up right side I should say. No. Solved by Buam. Man did all the right things there. Didn’t get knocked off the puck. Man, that one little run they went not even little run. They’ve had like a few good runs. That one year with Taylor Hall was was uh was a lot of fun. But Shane, yeah, Shane Don, he was always my favorite. You know, I will say Radim Verbata was a great uh yacht as well. Played a season with the Sadines and got 30 goals, too, which was pretty awesome. I think Radim Verbata is probably one of my favorite yachts. 1436. Just what a He was check, right? Just a check. Or maybe Slovakian. Oh, Blackhawks. Beautiful backhand. Beautiful backhand. Left side of the blue line. Pass up right. Cut up through center. What a backhand goal for the Blackhawks. And they are up by one again. Oh my god, dude. They’ve been scoring some nasty goals here tonight. I’m not going to lie. Blackhawks have been scoring some nasty goals here tonight. That was emotional damage. Bad for the Desert Dog fans. Radian Verbat is one of the members of the all name team. Dude, when I was in college, that was right when Kesler left or like forced his trade out. So, the Kucks like turned on him. They’re like burning all the 17 jerseys. And then Radim Verbata comes in, signs two-year contract, first year plays with the Sadines, gets 30 and 30, 30 goals, 30 assists, and he chose 17. That’s Verbata’s number. I Dude, I remember walking around campus seeing all the Canucks jerseys with 17 Radim verbata and oh, warmed my heart. What a goal. Of course, Lev Shunov scores his first against the Wild. What a nasty goal, man. Getting rooting for the boys uh in white and green here tonight. But you gota you got to call out greatness when you see it. And that was a great goal. We need revenge right now and it’s over. Jovanowski, dude. Jovo. Hey, as a Canucks fan, I like to Jovo as well. Wow, what a save, man. As the Minnesota Wild had a great opportunity there and the Blackhawks get it back. Take it into the Wild zone. Hit by the Blackhawks. Wild still trying to keep it up the right wall. They lose it. Blackhawks keep the puck. It’s little things like that. Kept possession there after being knocked off the puck. Send it left. Wild get it back. Send it up the right side. Shot. Looks like hit the side of the net. Rebound. Blackhawks have it, but great for check. But the Wild unable to pick his man’s pocket. And here come the Blackhawks. Two on three though. Shot well on the outside but I got tangled in the defenseman’s skate and a shot by Blackhawks again that doesn’t get through in the corner. Wild digging at it. Wild have it left side through center and they’re going to dump it in. Oh, shot right in front. Nice save for the Blackhawks. And here comes Chicago at center. Wild in the corner. Get their pocket pick by the Blackhawks. Cross ice pass. Slap shot. Blocker save by Gustoen. Man, it’s it’s guys being open like that with those shots like he is at the top of the blue line here. Not aggressive enough for the Wild, but just when I say that, Wild’s going to break away. Minnesota shot saved by the Blackhawks. What a save by Spencer Knight, dude. Big Walt, man. Another terrible ship by the fourth line. That was all but bad. He made that happen. He’s making everything happen tonight. Fun fact, Keith Kachchuck has played on three teams who have relocated. Original Jets, Coyotes, and Thrashers. Oh no. And Eric SK looks hurt on the play, too. Oh no. Ladies and gentlemen, Eric Snack clutching his left hand. Clutching his left hand. Oh no, that doesn’t look good. That doesn’t look good. And they go to a commercial break. Right when we wanted to see the replay of what happened to E, they go to commercial break, ladies and gentlemen. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. What a game, by the way. What a game. Exciting, sloppy, but then like insane goals. I mean the tale of three different periods so far. I know there’s a lot of period to be played in this third. Uh let’s go Bard. It’s crazy. Salbury and Bard are battling for goals. Dude, it’s so sick to see two like new young studs come up in the league who are not not going to be like the new, you know, Alex or Sid, but like just two guys who the league can market themselves around and who just like casual sports fans and other teams fans will be tuning in to watch the Sharks play a little bit more, be tuning in to watch the Blackhawks play a little bit more, right? So, it’s it’s awesome for the league and dude, I’m stoked, too. The GM was what I expected, but I thought script would be flipped. You think like the GM was going to do something tonight? Hey, what’s up, Dark Charge Penguins? Chilling and vibing tonight as well. Hey, happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the States. Go Bruins, says Thomas. What’s up, Thomas? Oh, was a slash on E. Did it hit his hand or did his face? Oh, Hines is [ __ ] Oh, game. Gotcha. Gotcha. Got you. I see G I see GM. I think general manager. Speaking of guys, he’s a rooer Ericen E. I’m convinced if he wasn’t in the NHL, he’d be running some kind of advocacy program. Dude, that andor just like running, I don’t know, like youth camps and like hikes and [ __ ] like that. He’d he’d be moving. And he he’d do something where he had to keep moving. Oh, Mark almost just had a skate blade very close to his neck. Oh man. Well, glad uh glad it was almost and that that accident was averted. All right, back to the action here. 1220 remaining, guys. And again, thank you everyone in the chat here. We’ve had such a great crowd here today. McKev trying to get past Capriov. Kant Wild with it now trying to reset a play here. They pass it to the right side and that’s going to bounce off Baldi’s stick I think and go up and out of play. In 20 or in 2003 the Ottawa Senators had a minor league affiliate with the Bing Bingington Senators and the Gwinn Gladiators. I didn’t know about the Gladiators because ancient Rome Roman Empire. I didn’t know about the Gladiators but I do know about the Birmingham Centers. Uh where are they now? Where are they now? Because they kept like the same like vibe for the logo of the AHL team. Let’s go. Minnesota Roy. Plenty of time. I’m happy for Sein for the Penguins. Dude, I loved him in Vancouver. I’m so pissed they traded him. But yes, I’m glad you guys like him. All right, 1151. Wilder trying to keep this puck in the Blackhawks zone. Left corner up the walls. Another big hit. Dude, the Blackhawks have been physical tonight, too. Eh, Shaw from the blue line doesn’t get through. Looks like maybe hit Trenan skate or some or I don’t know who skate up front. Okay, it was Tren. And the Blackhawks dump this puck bat into the wild zone. Oh, Zim loses that battle. 11:21. The black the commentary keeps saying weird bounce and man I mean how many times is it just like poor play here tonight not not bim in particular but just the wild John Hines and we’re going to have a whistle in the blackhawks on dude Conor Bard has been a [ __ ] joy to watch here tonight like holy [ __ ] blackhawks fans you are lucky to watch this guy and know we can say the same thing about Caprio but like holy [ __ ] he’s had a game he has had a game oh man that shot went barred out not barred down John’s going really crazy on Kyle Reman for somehow missing or more likely ignoring Grizzlick’s two-handed chop across Erikson’s left wrist. Eric Neck is injured. [ __ ] I was hoping it was a high stick to be honest. Pretty sure it’s still in Bington. Okay, that’s what I thought. Shot by the Wild and that’s going to go up and out of play. Auto Senators wanted Malikin or Mlin Celinrini because his last name is Italian. Oh, Midnight Soul, you know. A, one of the best logos in the NHL is the one you have on screen here right now. And B, [ __ ] the Maple Leafs. So, I’m also sad, dude. Spencer Knight has been good in this third period. Didn’t wasn’t tested much in the first or the second for that matter, but he has looked good in this third period as the Blackhawks. Only two shots so far in this period, but one of them being a goal and a beautiful one at that. 1054. Hey, let’s go. Shout out to Butler. All he needs an assist for the Gordy How. That does suck. 1040. Middleton digging in the corner. Passes back to Baldi. Baldi with it. Looking for some space. Tries to push it to the blue line and he does, but it’s up at out or not out of play, but bounces all the way back into the wild zone. Spurgeon backhand sends it back up. Blackhawks though. Good job dumbing it back in. And Spurgeon with the breakout leaves it for Johansson. Johansson with speed up the right side. A and loses it at center. Go Hawks says Dan. Good to see you Dan. That surprises me because Toronto is injured. Yeah, they Yeah, Toronto has just been a [ __ ] show this year. And that division is so cutthroat too. Coming up the right side of the Blackhawks. pass uncompleted. Oliver Morris had a pretty good game, too, guys. We had the pleasure of talking to him a few times um when he was in Minnesota with the Gophers on Fellowship of the Rink. If you want to see those interviews, Hawks fans, just look up Oliver Moore on our channel. Plenty of interviews. We sat down with him and a few of the Gophers. Um [ __ ] two of which are in the NHL, too, last year. And it was uh it was a lot of fun. All right, going to a TV timeout here. And man, still it feels like I mean it’s mostly been a one-goal game for most of this game. The Wild only had it tied for what, a couple minutes. Hell yeah, Dan. Hell yeah. As a Maple Leaf fan, [ __ ] the Leafs. Go Pens and Dubis. Endless Bane. Let’s go. Let’s go. I actually like I don’t I never root for the Penguins cuz like I just grew up watching the Capitals and being a fan of like Oie and the Penguins were just like the thorn in my side, but it like the hate does not go Toronto deep. Oh my god. Uh Kubal dropped the gloves. The refs didn’t let them fight. What is going on? Why, yo, chat, why is the AHL refs like we watched the fights earlier if you guys missed it in the first segment, we were reacting to fights earlier in the stream and it seems like the refs aren’t letting the fights go as long as I remember in the HL. What is going on here? What kind of ref stops a fight, right? Auto minor league affiliate is now Belleville. Okay. Okay. Belleville has an OHL team, too, or it did at one point, right? Atlanta. Okay. There’s so many OHL teams, man. So many so many teams in the OHL and I always just get a mix up of which ones are AHL farms or were the AHL farms to the Senators or surrounding teams and which ones were uh were all O teams. Belleville Bulls, right? That’s what they used to be. Yo, what’s up Mug? Good to see you. Good to see you. All right. Um, as we are still awaiting coming out of TV timeout here, I just want to remind you guys that, you know, our friends at Waggle Golf, local Minnesota company, but they ship nationwide, I think even worldwide now, to be perfectly honest. I just want to share this with you guys because we uh put together some of our favorite items and there’s a tab with like some sodapod favorites on the site. Whether you’re a golf guy or gal or just like to look fly as [ __ ] ladies and gentlemen, Waggle Golf has got you covered. Uh, use promo code SP10 for 10% off your order. Here’s Hoppies picks. I’m going to make my page after the weekend as well. But here’s some of Hoppy’s favorite picks. Again, really fun hats, hoodies. I mean, golf apparel as well, quarter zips. Um, so I’m going to add some of my favorite items as well, but again, SP10. Again, that’s SP10 for 10% off your order. Um, I will share the link in the live chat or go to getyouwaggleon.com and shot tip in front. Bully score. The waggle bump. The waggle bump. The waggle. Beautiful [ __ ] Let’s go, ladies and gentlemen. And I look back on the screen and they are up to three goals and have tied this game. Shot from the blue line. Tip clean. It was okay. So the tip actually didn’t go off. So the first attempt by Baldi didn’t get through and the loose puck was sent right back to him. And there is the goal right in front of the net. And this is a tie game. What a game this has been, ladies and gentlemen. What a game this has been. Wow. And Matt Baldy, man, what a year indeed. If he’s not on Team USA, man, for the Olympics, they’re missing out. Good game indeed. Got your over. Let’s go. Happy Thanksgiving. Gonzaga is getting spanked. The question is, who goes out of Calgary Flames? I’m still figuring that out. 914. Wild have it at the blue line. Wild shot front of the net. No one there to get that rebound like last time, but Marcus Johansson gets it back. Sends to the blue line. Right side shot. And that’s a save by Spencer Knight. And he’s going to calm things down. Sir Matthew Baldy. Baldi. Yurov is also injured, too. He went down the tunnel. Blackhawks are a dirty team today. I missed the Eurovv injury. I will say the Blackhawks few dirty plays. They’ve also just been physical overall too. Like they have been out musling the wild. I imagine they’re leading in hits. [ __ ] They’re not even leading in hits. That’s crazy. Honestly, I thought the numbers would with the eye test. I thought the numbers would be the other way around. But the bigger, more noticeable hits have clearly been coming from the Blackhawks. Then CBJ have a good young players. I believe Columbus had a bad season a lot, but I think they will have a good season. WHL refs, that’s who you mean OHL and Q refs, bro. Looks like you have got nasty slash went down the tunnel. [ __ ] I missed that one. Spencer Knight is a good goalie, man. Dude, the Blues have been so bad, dude. It’s crazy. I I thought the Blues are going to be as good as the Wild this year or maybe even better. 820. I played the clip enough, Kenny. I think about that time. The Hawks have been [ __ ] the last few years. I mean, they haven’t had a lot of guys the last few years, but fair enough. Fair enough. It’s good to see from the young guys, too. Update back on the bench. Okay, good. 750 pressure of the Florida Panthers. I don’t have a Stanley Cup to lift. I don’t have a Stanley Cup to lift. 742. Wild. Keep this one in. Corner battling. Glad you’re back on the bench. The Bingington Senators is relocated to Bel Ontario in 17. Oh, damn. It’s been that long. Great job by the Blackhawks. Oh, another fight. We got another fight. We got another fight. Let’s go. Let’s go. Murphy against Trenon. I mean, it’s more of a grappling match at this point. Oh, there’s some right hands by each left hand by Murphy. Couple short lefts by Trenon. Tren with a right as well. Canel the clinch, boys. Oh, nice right hand to the back of the head by Trenon. Dude, refer letting him go. Oh, big right by Murphy. Trening with another right. Trening with another right after the ref said, “Let’s let’s stop it, boys.” Dude, good [ __ ] scrap. Mostly in the clinch. Mostly in the clinch, but they honestly threw more punches in the clinch than [ __ ] UFC fighters do. So, let’s go, boys. Let’s [ __ ] go, dude. Midsy with the fight tonight as well as Trenon. Let’s go. Hell yeah. X back out there, too. Well, that’s good. That’s good. Dude, Murphy. Oh my god, dude. Look at that. No call again on E. Pure hooking. Pure hooking, dude. Yeah. Murphy Plaster’s face two, three times. Dude, that was a great fight. They each uh they each landed some good blows. I’d say Trennan got the slight edge, but it was a pretty even fight. I will say Murphy cheating [ __ ] out there though with that hook and then slamming to the boards. That was some dirty [ __ ] Which, by the way, Conor Murphy still in the National Hockey League. Shout out to him, man. I had no idea he was still in the league, but shout out to him. Yeah, I mean either or. Either or. Good fight. Good fight. More shoot strikes in five rounds. Yo, shout out to Trenon though for defending his boy, man, because the referee missed clear hooking call. Murphy’s a little bit of a cheating [ __ ] Pulling good minutes, too. Hey, if he’s on your team, you love them. If he’s not on your team, you hate them. Shout out to Alex Burroughs, right? Wild’s alive. Let’s get this win. Two fights tonight, three in Iowa. Bro, we are spoiled, man. Got to defend your boys 100%. Missed two penalties now on EC the slash. Yep. I seriously don’t understand why these bastards get away with so much crap on EC. He doesn’t show up. The refs isn’t a dirty player yet. Gets treated worse than any goon I’ve seen. Dude, it’s a great point. Like, there’s not a lot of calls that are calling him. And now X’s getting pissed, man. And as you see that hit. No, I haven’t. Oh, wait. No, I have actually. Yes, I have. 647. Wild. Have it in the Blackhawk zone. Oh, the bumble [ __ ] at the blue line and some speed by the Blackhawks. Oh my god. Takes it in front of the net. And a great save by Gustoson. Just got outsced. Outsc. Knocks it into the zone. 95 for the Hawks. Yo, what’s up, Omega? Good to see you. 620. I The game is on, buddy. The game is on. I’m literally watching it right now. It looks like Michael Kitten. That’s funny a little bit. Come on, Chicago. Yo, again, big shout out to everybody in the live chat. Appreciate you guys. What a [ __ ] play there. Faceoff to the right of Knight. Wild win it and you’re off on the ice. Zukrell and Johansson. We see we’ve been seeing that throughout this uh third period. Blackhawks do a good job of forcing this to center. Good hit by Middleton. Stand your base. 558. Yeah, man. Happy Thanksgiving, guys. Happy Thanksgiving. You know, I think we have we might have some freaking Thanksgiving like overlays and stuff. Hell yeah, dude. Double neck. I’d rather mammoth beat Llay Aita. From the sounds of it, the refs have been pretty bad. Yeah. Yeah, they have not been that great. They Oh, they missed. I mean, that was kind of They might have They might have missed a trip on the Wild there, too, to be honest. And the Wild get the puck back. Blazing speed through center. Great job by Faber. Another big hit by the Wild. All right, the Wild are laying down the hits here in this third period. Uh, keep shot alert was worried about joining this chat as I’m not Somali. Do I look Somali? Do you dude? Logan Culie has been good and happy for him. Got four goals last game. Happy Thanksgiving. Uh, referee Kyle Reman needs to be investigated. This is ridiculous. 450. And here comes the Blackhawks. No, you guys are all good people. Well, I appreciate you guys hanging out here tonight. It’s been a fun crowd and a and a crazy ass game. Which 4 minutes and 40 seconds do we see overtime? What do you think, chat? I’ll make that the poll question. What? Uh, Blackhawks, they dumped this one out. Oh, the Hawks crowd, man. They’re loud. They’re loud. Pumping up the team or at least trying to. All right, poll question. Do we see OT? Yes. Yes or no? Horrendous officiating tonight. It’s been a good serve for the Mammals. First uh time in the playoffs. Oh, we’ll see. We’ll see. No, but yes, they’re a good team. They’re probably going to make the playoffs. Four minutes. Wild have it. They’re going to start playing their own zone. Right side to Spurgeon. Spurgeon sends it up. Unable to poke this one into the Blackhawk zone at center. Zukell still with it. He dumps it in. Well, they called everything in the first 12 minutes and now they’re aren’t calling anything. So, consistency isn’t being uh greatest tonight. That’s the thing. They were calling too much in the first and missing blatant big big penalties here in honestly second and third. And if you give the guys an inch, they’ll take a mile. I’m subbed. I’m glad I found this channel. Holy god, a normal human hockey fan. Absolutely, dude. Thank you so much for subscribing. We stream games once a week and two live podcasts a week as well. Pass in front shot and blocked and a hit by Middleton. Is that a high? Did that Did a stick go high or something? I got to see the replay. Oh no. All right, here’s the replay. Here’s Middleton right in front of the net. shove battle with the former gopher Oliver Moore and roughing I think but Middleton’s getting called and this might be a gift for the Blackhawks guys as the Blackhawks are going to go back on the power play with under four minutes left in the period morning and tonight the Ottawa Sage players are sleeping at the Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Bold goal. All right, last TV timeout. What’s up, Emperor King? Good to see you. Hey, this isn’t even the podcast. I’m I’m just the I’m just the live stream guy. Uh we have So, the Sodapod is a network of hockey podcast. Monday, it’s Prospects and NHL news and wild prospect show. Um Tuesday, I guess there isn’t a show on Tuesday. Wednesday, uh, Fellowship of the Rink with athletic writer Joe Smith. It is a Gophers NHL and Wild show. Then Wednesdays, it’s an NHL and wild analytics show. And then Thursday, Friday, we have a Gophers show as well as just live streams once a week as well. Me covering games. How’s this game not on cable, dude? trying making sense of why and where wild games are broadcasted is a lost cause. I like the cacina more, but this is when I when I think Shane Don, I think this jersey. Isn’t that a play that happens every game? I went to commercial break. It looks like the Wild are going to be on the the penalty kill for real. True. The refs look worse in the NFL. Dude, this season has been very inconsistent. All right, come on, guys. All right, Chicago on the power play. 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Some clench ass cheeks for the Wild and their fans right now with three minutes left and two minutes on this power play for the Blackhawks. Tripping against more. I bought a Yachts hat right after they went to Utah. Then they bought a Utah hat. You have the best of both worlds now. Baddard left side. Baddard back to the blue line. Left back to Baddard. a dard shot that goes high and wide. What’s up, Die Hard Red Wings fan? Good to see you, guys. Don’t forget to smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, and just flicker through and see some of the other things that we have uh that we offer here on the channel. We have highlights as well. Oh, left post. Left post, man. Right on the corner, too. We’ll we’ll uh do a quick little rundown at the end of the game on what we offer this channel and some of the new videos that we posted. You guys will be leaving with some good content to watch too. At least there is not a Dino Ciserelli. 238 just not happy that that they lost 6-3 against the Predators. Yeah. And that ended the Predators losing streak. Nazer out there with Terravine and Batuzi all fighting for the puck. Levunov gets it back to Bard. Bard circle weaving slot. Bro, he’s a magician with the puck. Holy [ __ ] Left. Shoot up. Back to bedard. Shot. How did that not go in? A great save by the Gus bus. Dude, Bard is on another level here tonight. He’s either on the Russian gas or just chugged a bunch of maple syrup. I don’t know what it what it is. Either or. I love it. I’m in a minority, but I like the Coyotes. Running Coyotes jersey. I never hated any of the Coyotes jerseys to be honest. Hex feels so bad to listen to. That’s why you guys have me flip the wall. One minute remaining in Chicago’s power play. And it’s been a good power play for them until this last little break where Minnesota was able to send this puck down the length of the ice. And here’s the rush. The coyote head jersey we were silly. I didn’t hate it though. It was pretty simple. Hey, a good logo is one simple enough for a kid to draw and that one’s right on the line. Adar, what do you own? By no means top tier, by no means bottom tier. 24 seconds remaining in this Blackhawks power play. Baddard back to the blue line. Levunov back to Baddard. Bard sends it behind the net. Naser in front and good defense by the Wild. They can’t get it out though. Bouncing, bouncing puck. It’s all over the place. Baddard gets knocked down. Baddard looking at the ref saying, “Where’s the call? Where’s the call?” And so are the Blackhawk fans, too. Terravine back to the blue line. Bard full strength now for the Wild as Milton back on the ice. Middleton with the puck here. Some tired line mates. So Milton just going to go for a little skate there. A bud sends it right side. Johansson back to the blue line. Shot that goes right and wide as the Wild going to complete their change. This logo is your favorite. I want to see a huge body. The nasty slap shot by the Wild. 47 seconds, guys. It looks like we are going to overtime. Well, great. I mean, good third period. I shouldn’t say great. Good third period for the Wild given how poorly they played in the first and second. 36 shots for the Blackhawks. 22 for the Wild. Kind of looks like a little bit of a normal game now versus how it looked when they were coming into the second period. We’re going to have a whistle at center ice. Look at this mullet ass [ __ ] He looks like a bird. Dude, that wasn’t a hand pass. It was a kick. Yeah, I don’t didn’t really see a hand pass either. Yeah, I I grew up in in Western Canada, too. So, I’m early like 93, so too early to even remember the first Kucks riot, but I was in Vancouver for 2011 escaping the riots. I do have a sick Northstar hoodie though. Shout out to Back channel Brewing. 15 seconds. But even a lot of my friends in Minnesota, uh, late 80s, early 90s kids, they didn’t grow up with the Northstars. They didn’t grow up with a team. So, a lot of them have other NHL teams that are their teams. And then obviously just a rooting interest in the Wild. Nice save by Gusison late. And we’re going overtime, ladies and gentlemen. Mullikai was messed up on whatever Bard is scored all these goals. Terrible officiating. Terrible officiating. Benzy needs to shut his yapper. They need to put in Carell Capri off. Uh, she wasn’t even the problem. I couldn’t take Buchcci reput rupturing my eardrum after every shot on goal. You’re not Gus Johnson, bro. I’m lucky that in Canada I never had to listen to Buchcci growing up. It’s only been in the last four years in the States where I’ve been like, sick, dude. The Sharks have been looking awesome, man. And then like again, they are far from like the complete rebuild product, but oh man, you got some young studs on that team, dude. Still, and I say this for a go, still only 27, more good than bad with the Wild and having two Swedes who are still who are young Swedes, under 30 Swedes on your team as your 1A and 1B. I mean, [ __ ] man. This team wants to make the playoffs. Wants to do well in the playoffs. a goalie or two can help steal around. I know it’s not as simple, but if you got that position nailed, [ __ ] man. Then let’s let’s really start focusing on surrounding Capriovv with some better guys now that you know, Zukrell is getting towards the end of his career. I can’t I can’t imagine Hinman’s going to be here too much longer given that he still has trade value. Who knows what the future of freaking Felin is going to be like with all these injuries and things like that. So they got the goalies locked down which is good. But you guys was fun on Sports Center and a guy who just worked between periods commentary in a game is kind of annoying. Hey and I grew up up north watching Sports Center or Sports Net and TSM with you know guys and gals who were who are better in certain roles. I mean I’m I’m rooting for the Wild. I’m rooting for the Wild but it’s been a great game. True ain’t going to win without a goalie. I miss Quebec Nordics. Nordics versus Havs rivalry were great. See, I was too young for that [ __ ] too. But [ __ ] man. That Yeah. I mean, the the Quebec rivalry. Yeah. The Nordics and then every like southern American, the Nordex and half of Alberta. All right, here we go. Overtime, guys. Overtime. Shout to everyone who voted in the poll question. All right, here we go. Puck is dropped. All right, we got our last poll question here. 437 in the wild have it in the Blackhawk zone. Faber leaves it for Capriovv. Capriovv back to Erikson. 416. Oh, Erikson with it. Erikson back to Capri off shot. And here comes Moore. No. Tripped up. Oh my god. Do we have a power play for the Blackhawks or did that puck go up and over? Wait, wait. Is it a power play on the Blackhawks or sorry, a penalty on the Blackhawks? It is a penalty on the Black MV. No way. I thought this was on the Wild, man. Man, I thought this was on the wild. Blast is losing his [ __ ] on the bench. Celini, he’s the Sharks have been waiting for. Let’s go. Still on Flurry. The Whalers. Awesome jersey. Shout out to Ray Ferraro and Dean Evson. Oh, what a hit by EC, man. What a reverse hit. Yeah, dude. That’s a clean hit. I don’t think that’s interference either. E got him first and he uh and he responded. I don’t like I’m I want the Wild to win this game. I don’t agree with that. I don’t agree with that uh call. They only missed about six in regulation. The The scales have tipped. Let’s go. Wildat Hawk dinner. What’s up, Horocs? Good to see you. Capri off lost his blade on that last play and they got him on. No collusion whatsoever. Oh, and a nice shot by Capriov there and there’s a save. 1 minute and 51 seconds. Four on three overtime. Yes, the eight plus this ref. The refs have been awful. Blastel should be talking. Minnesota’s had the worst officiating this game. Baldi, I mean, a bad call is a bad call or and a miss is a miss regardless of the team. I mean, I I think he should be talking. If I was a coach, I’ i’d be talking. That doesn’t really make sense. I don’t understand that, bro. I don’t understand that. If you’re a coach, you’d be talking, too. You’re not going to go, “Oh, they missed some on the Wild, so I’m not going to defend.” No, that was a that was a bad that was a bad call. 120 Baldi back to Capriov. Shot score. And that is it. That is it, ladies and gentlemen. Capri off puts it away in overtime. Somebody called it in the chat. They said the Blackhawks are going to blow this in the third. Watch. Hey, I I agree with you there, but like the coach is doing his job. BS call that favors the Wild. The hockey gods took a goal away from the Blackhawks earlier, which I mean it was offside and gave him a little puck luck here tonight. Oh my goodness. I love my wild, but sometimes it’s like a blind man shooting a machine gun. Good game anyways. For sure, man. Ups and downs. Wow. I just felt it if true. Don’t care. A Thanksgiving win. Unfreakingbelievable. Good win. That was a BS call on Mive. I agree it was. I agree it was Joseph. I agree. The Wild capitalize on a little puck luck from the hockey gods here. while always fight back good games. The board call, they didn’t call, and the gods gave Minnie the win. That’s true. There there were like two blatant misses, so the hockey gods had to step in and officiate this one. Man, that was a uh on your seat type of game. What’s up, Josar? Good to see you. Good to see you. The hockey gods had to interview. The refs the refs were the refs were smoking that good Illinois bud here tonight. They they already started celebrating Thanksgiving. They they were hitting their vape pens in between periods. They had no idea what the [ __ ] they were doing. Uh so the hockey gods had to interfere. The hockey gods had to interfere. Career or career. Yes. The Minnesota Wild have won this game four to three in overtime. What a fun game, ladies and gentlemen. What a fun game. Hey guys, don’t leave just yet. Don’t leave just yet. Um, we’ll check back in on the poll question. Anybody who’s voting ham, you’re an absolute psycho, but we still appreciate you hanging out here on the channel.

It’ll be out on Saturday morning at Back Channel Brewing in Minnotonka or at Lake Minnetonka in Spring Park. So, go check it out. And we did a whole vlog uh and tasting myself and one of the owners of the brewery, cracked that first bottle together yesterday, and I posted the video here today. So, I’ll put the link to uh I’ll put the link in the chat to that as well, but I’ll show you guys. So, they release a beer every year called the Soviet Slayer in honor of Herb Brooks, who, you know, slayed the Soviets in the in the 1980s Olympics. We uh we we did a little we did something a little different here and uh decided that we were going to call it the Soviet Savior. So, full vlog there on the channel.

But I also have my own YouTube channel uh called the City Life Project. If you guys are a fan of Muay Thai, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, any combat sport, um I host 30 plus hours of combat sports streams every single weekend. Uh, Gabe Gabe Stevenson, Minnesota Gophers wrestler, was actually fighting in his second MMA fight on Sunday. We cover everything from UFC to Japanese mixed martial arts, uh, Middle Eastern leagues, uh, Mexican leagues, like Muay Thai, early Friday mornings, Polish leagues, the whole nine yards. As far as videos on this channel, we share some of the same interviews and some of the same content crossromote on each channel. But I also post fight highlights from Dana White Contender Series and prospects in the UFC as well as fighter interviews and crazy stories in the world of combat sports. So that is the City Life Project. That is my second channel. I will post uh the link to that in the chat as well. All right, let’s get back to the chat here before we wrap things up. Hey, I do like Turkey, though. I do like Turkey. You guys had no business getting a point in this game. game. Well, I mean, they came back in the third period and yeah, I mean, first period was horrendous. Second period was pretty bad. Third period, some bad missed calls and some bad calls for both teams and they ended up getting it done. But let put it this way, when the refs were high as a [ __ ] kite, the hockey gods had to get involved and write the wrong and there was a sturr surge. That’s pretty cool. uh Back Channel Brewing uh in Spring Park on Lake Minnotonka. They’ll be selling them there uh starting Saturday. And they have a barrel-aged option, too. We getting it for sure if I was 21. Hey, every year they do every deer they or sorry, every deer every year they drop the Soviet Slayer. Sam needs to go to the AHL. Enjoy hobbies.

Oh, Sean, you you know how to tickle my fancy. Pick don’t lie. What does that mean? Uh, restership for both teams. Yo, Blackhawks fans can’t make any excuses. Yeah, that was Both teams had their chances. Blackhawks looked good early. The refs really were completely [ __ ] in that game and the hockey gods had to get involved. That’s uh it wasn’t a good game for the Wild and it wasn’t a good collapse minor collapse for the Blackhawks either. Puck don’t lie. Okay, that’s what I was going to say. I was going to say I was like pick don’t lie. I was like what are we talking about? What are we talking about? My favorite Minnesota Wild player is Matt Baldy.
