Introduction: Host Michael Rand's declaration the other day that it was time to start watching the Wild more closely could not have come at a worse time. Minnesota was drilled 7-1 on Thursday by Edmonton, a game that saw them lose another key player (Jake Middleton) to an injury. Plus Rand looks at Chris Hine's excellent story on the Wolves' group text and what it means to players.
8:00: Star Tribune Vikings writer Ben Goessling joins Rand for a look at the biggest questions, both present and future, facing the team. If we can agree their biggest areas of immediate concern are the health of Stephon Gilmore, the run defense and the interior line, which potential playoff opponents pose the biggest threat? And are we thinking about the Sam Darnold question the right way?
38:00: Thursday Night Football was a dud.
