And then to cap it all off, apparently, Anthony Edwards is being charged with third degree assault for- and I saw the video. WALLY LANGFELLOW: Oh Lord, it's kind of been a trainwreck in many ways this year, I mean, from Rudy Gobert punching Kyle Anderson, and then Jaden McDaniels punching a wall and breaking his hand, and then Kyle Anderson being injured for the final game of the series against Denver earlier this week. WALLY LANGFELLOW: Well, where do we start? Their season is wrapped up and not without a fair amount of drama. And there will be a lot of frustration if this team loses either Friday or in game seven down in Dallas that they did not get out of round one yet again.ĮMILY: Yeah, now, let's switch to the Timberwolves. So here in the state of hockey, the Wild fandom is hungry to see this team have some postseason success, but they have not been able to do that. They haven't gotten out of the first round since 2015. They've gone one and done in their last six postseason appearances. And if you look at the Wild the last few seasons, Emily, they're on a playoff treadmill. So they have to win the next two games, including tomorrow night in Saint Paul. And if this doesn't change, the Wild could be on vacation very soon. Kirill The Thrill, who is, clearly, Minnesota's top player, the face of the team, has one goal.īoldy has just three assists. Combined in five games, they have four points. And Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, those guys, they're going to need them to come through.ĮRIC NELSON: I am, Emily, and Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, they've been on a milk carton in this series. You can't win, if you don't score, and they have had trouble putting the puck in the net. You're not going to win, if you don't score, so they have to figure out ways to beat Jake Oettinger. They have had a really tough time trying to solve Jake Oettinger, but you're not- if they lost 4-0, think about it. He's been in goal for the Stars, and he has been really good. Jake Oettinger, who is from Lakeville, ironically, he played at Lakeville North, his high school hockey. They've got the Dallas Stars in game six. WALLY LANGFELLOW: Well, they'll play tomorrow night in Saint Paul. So buckle up if you're a fan of the NFL draft, because you've got three days of this fun coming, I guess, you could call it.ĮMILY: Yes, indeed, and I hear Eric is back. So the draft really is, as I said, a crapshoot, and it's all over television for the next three days and nights. They picked him up via free agency, so they weren't even in the first seven rounds.Īnd a guy by the name of Tom Brady, he was drafted in the sixth round by New England. The Vikings got Jon Randall and Adam Thielen. You can't take this draft too seriously, because no one knows how things are going to pan out. WALLY LANGFELLOW: And again, yeah, I know one of the things that Eric wanted to talk about, and we talk about this all the time on our talk show. WALLY LANGFELLOW: Eric must have disappeared. But again, the key for them is to get guys that can help them as soon as possible, and we shall see. He's going to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers this coming season, so it looks like defense is where they're going to go with this draft. Patrick Peterson was a defensive back, also, gone via free agency. He's been a kind of a staple on their defense since being drafted back in 2015. So they have to- they're hoping that he'll come back. He was a defensive back safety, but he broke his leg in week four in that game against the Saints in London. Now, last year, they took Lewis Cine in the first round. They do have some needs, though, and they hope to fill some needs in the draft that will help them immediately. I think that that's pretty well solidified. I doubt that they'll get the number one pick. Well, the Vikings might make some trades, and they could end up picking anywhere from two to 32. I mean, everybody gets all worked up about where they're drafting and who they might draft. Now, last year, the Vikings picked second, which was last in the first round after a trade, and that's so typical. They have the 23rd pick in the first round of the draft. I understand the Vikings have five picks this time around. So I want to talk first about the NFL draft.
