Show Notes

Introduction: The Wild's 7-4 loss to Toronto over the weekend was costly on two levels. First, Matt Boldy was injured, which leaves the team short one big scorer while exposing a major salary cap crunch. And the Wild also gave up seven goals in the game, causing the team to juggle its defensive pairings just two games into the year. It could be a tough go for the Wild until Boldy and Jared Spurgeon are healthy.
