Wrote and talked about the Wild's playoff goalies. The Gus Bus has broken down, including five goals allowed last night. Is he still the Wild's Game 1 playoff starter, or should it be Jesper Wallstedt? startribune.com/minnesota-wild-nhl-playoffs-goalie-dallas-stars-filip-gustavsson/601664708

The Wolves have two regular-season games left. They're locked into the No. 6 seed. But Anthony Edwards has barely played down the stretch. Do you, Wolves fans, want to see him at least once before the playoffs? La Velle E. Neal III and I debated that here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwH6...

The Wild are slumping. The Wolves are maddening. The Loons lost 6-0. Confidence in the Twins? Low. By virtue of not playing, the Vikings have reclaimed their lofty perch atop Minnesota men's pro sports. startribune.com/minnesota-vikings-free-agency-kyler-murray-kevin-oconnell/601599316?mrfhud=true

I want to compliment my newspaper delivery person today.

The #Vikings have signed Kyler Murray, per source. They’ve got their veteran QB.

I'm fine with the Vikings bringing back Aaron Jones. Great guy, respected leader, hopefully still enough left in the tank. But finding a high-caliber back in the 2nd or 3rd round is doable. Problem is the Vikings haven't made a 2nd Rd or non-comp 3rd Rd pick since 2022!

Source confirms the NFL Network report that the Vikings have agreed to a restructure deal with Aaron Jones. He will be back for the 2026 season, as the Vikings recoup cap savings.

As we sit here on Panda, er, Kyler watch (a little over one hour until something can happen), I invite you to watch this segment with @andrewkrammer.bsky.social on Vikings free agency and how Murray might fit into the offense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaAQ...

The Wild made a ton of moves at the trade deadline. I talked to colleague Sarah McLellan on today's Daily Delivery to make sense of their strategy and what each player brings to the table. Listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWi...
