@alec_lewis @AlecLewisShow If you were the Wilfs, knowing what you know, who would be your choice to be GM, and why?

Recording an Ep of @AlecLewisShow this afternoon… What Vikings Qs do you have?

@alec_lewis Alec predicting an 18-0 record, I like it. Oh wait…

Behold, the Vikings’ 2026 schedule: W1: vs. GB W2: at CHI W3: at TB W4: vs. MIA W5: at NO W6: BYE W7: vs. IND W8: at DET W9: vs. BUF (MNF) W10: at GB W11: at SF (SNF) W12: vs. ATL W13: vs. CAR W14: at NE (TNF) W15: vs. DET (SNF) W16: vs. WSH W17: at NYJ W18: vs. CHI

@RussoHockey Middleton better be off the team next year

Brett Kulak wins it after Kaprizov can't connect with Boldy on a 2-on-1. Wild blow 3-goal lead to lose a playoff game for first time ever and their season ends in humiliating fashion

@NSWarriorMN @RussoHockey 90 must have seen this 😏

@RussoHockey Middletons horrible play has taken spotlight off of how awful 90 has been. At this point I'd rather see a not ready yet brink on line two.

#mnwild lines Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello Johansson-McCarron-Boldy Trenin-Yurov-Tarasenko M. Foligno-Sturm-N. Foligno Hughes-Faber Middleton-Spurgeon Hunt-Petry

@RussoHockey The boys are buzzing, hopefully they can keep it going

And that's why you do it. Wild get to work and score 34 seconds in. Johansson

@RussoHockey Sturm is having himself a game

Tie game. After Nico Sturm's wraparound isn't on target, Quinn Hughes finds the puck, centers himself and makes a terrific pass for Sturm's one-timer into an open cage. 10:45 left

@RussoHockey Well at least Wally got a rest

MacKinnon PPG. 4-1, 6:42 left

@RussoHockey Step 1, promote Hunt on the PK. Step 2, promote him into Middleton’s spot next to Spurgeon

Middleton's with Spurgeon on the PK

@RussoHockey Win the faceoff and still can’t clear the puck

Landeskog scores 15 seconds into the power play. Penalty was all because Trenin didn't get puck deep to begin with. Avs shooting 100% on 2 shots

@nelsen0424 @RussoHockey I do. And play them for about 5 mins. Hughes/Faber can go 35 and Hunt/Spurge could go 20

@RussoHockey Switch Hunt and Mids please.

#mnwild lines Kaprizov-Hartman-Zuccarello Johansson-Yurov-Boldy Trenin-McCarron-Tarasenko M. Foligno-Sturm-N. Foligno Hughes-Faber Middleton-Spurgeon Hunt-Petry

@RussoHockey @MileHighRoach Really missed Eriksson Ek and Brodin tonight

Eight different goal scorers for Colorado as Wild give up 9 goals, most in franchise history. And @MileHighRoach may have lost his voice after this bonkers game 1-0 Avs in series

@FadeUsDave @RussoHockey Middleton has been responsible for twice as many goals as Wally

@RussoHockey Gotta fucking pull Wallstedt

6-5, Cale Makar, 3:21 into the third from MacKinnon

@RussoHockey Can we decline? Don’t need a makeup call for Dallas

Faksa holding minor on Middleton, Wild PP

@mordauntiii @Lassimak Is the Mikko hit in the room with us?

@Lassimak Petrovic got a good shot on Foligno at the end. Payback for Miko hit.

End of first: Wild 1, Stars 0 The Wild took the lead on Quinn Hughes' goal, were the better team all around that period and the Stars may have lost Mikko Rantanen. Not a good start for Dallas all around.

@Klay1022 @JoeSmithNHL Agreed, need someone to bang around the net

@JoeSmithNHL Should be Hung

Jonas Brodin out for #mnwild. Petry in

@RussoHockey Hunt or Petry in if Brodin can’t go?

Brock Faber can’t wait to hear the crowd Thursday night: “I’d play tomorrow if I could.”

Michael McCarron drives the net and makes it 3-1 with 12:13 to go

@RussoHockey We all know how this will go

Stars challenging goalie interference

@JoeSmithNHL Watched the TNT guys at intermission, they didn’t even talk about the blatant dive. All they did was gush about the Dallas power play

Stars are 8-for-19 on power play in this series. Eight of their 11 goals overall are with man advantage. Special teams once again proving to be problem for #mnwild in playoffs

@RussoHockey That was brutal

2 power plays, 1 harmless shot and the PP booed off the ice. As for PP1, time to use Faber or Spurgeon. 2 fumble pucks for Brink ended possession on each of the first two power plays
