Host Michael Rand tackles four big subjects on today's episode:
- A 5-2 victory in Game 2 at Vegas helped the Wild even their series at 1-1 heading back to St. Paul. Should we be optimistic about the series overall?
- The Wolves let an opportunity slip away in a 94-85 loss in Game 2 against the Lakers. They will need an offensive recalibration in Game 3 Friday at Target Center.
- Emily Leiker joins Rand to set up the Vikings' options in the draft.
- Byron Buxton called game for the Twins.
