Introduction: On a jam-packed episode of the podcast, host Michael Rand starts out with the Wild’s 10-goal outburst against Vancouver -- the best team in the NHL -- on Monday, which included six goals over a six-minute span from late in the second period to the early part of the third. Minnesota set all sorts of records in the victory, which helped the Wild creep closer to a playoff spot.
