Minnesota's future is still bright, with a star shining up from Iowa. In 2021, the Minnesota Wild selected Jesper Wallstedt in the first round as the 20th overall pick; some projections even had him going first overall in the draft. He is a name everyone who is an NHL Fan should get used to hearing. At only 20 years old, he is well on his way to becoming the next star in the NHL.
The Minnesota Wild may have lost to the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs... However, Minnesota's future is still bright, with a star shining up from Iowa. In 2021, the Minnesota Wild selected Jesper Wallstedt in the first round as the 20th overall pick; some projections even had him going first overall in the draft. The Minnesota Wild currently have solid goaltenders in the net between Marc-André Fleury and Filip Gustavsson, but Wallstedt will join them soon. He is a name everyone who is an NHL Fan should get used to hearing. At only 20 years old, he is well on his way to becoming the next star in the NHL.

Minnesota Vikings first round matchup against the New York Giants, and other playoff predictions.
We make a ton of speculations on what's going to happen in the Vikings vs Bears game, and talk playoff seeding.
The Minnesota Vikings have won 12 games so far in 2022. Their only win by more than one score came against the Packers in week 1. They look to start off 2023 by eliminating the packers from the playoffs at Lambo Field and hopefully winning by more than one score. Aaron Rodgers is clearly not what he used to be, but Kirk Cousins is climbing the charts in the MVP race. Justin Jefferson also has the chance to break the NFL receiving record and also possibly become the first to reach 2,000 yards in a season.
On Christmas Eve Greg Joseph kicked another game-winning field goal, this time from a Minnesota Vikings record 61 yards. Justin Jefferson shatters the Viking's single-season receiving record set by Randy Moss in 2003. He also broke Chirs Carter's franchise reception record. JJ now has his eyes on the NFL record books. The Minnesota Vikings are legit, let's give credit where it has been earned. They can not stop winning!
The Minnesota Vikings are set to face off with the New York Giants this coming Saturday at home. The Vikings are coming off the biggest comeback win in NFL history. The entire Stadium fans and players will be wearing white. Justin Jefferson will break Randy Moss's single-season receiving yards record in the game early. And we take a look at the threats and weaknesses on both sides of the field.
The Minnesota Vikings were down 0-33 at halftime. Fans in Minnesota were finding it very difficult to hold onto faith, not only in the game but in the media narrative we all knew would be coming around the team. With a sure loss headed the way of the Vikings, the haters came out early in the game, calling the team frauds, and making jokes about how they were no longer watching the game because “it was over.” Uff da, little did they know, the game had only just begun… The Vikings came back to win 39-36 in OT. Justin Jefferson, KJ Osborn, Kirk Cousins, TJ Hockenson, Adam Thielen, and more were all outstanding in the game. Wow!
The oddsmakers were right again, the Minnesota Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions. Justin Jefferson broke the Viking's single-game franchise record for receiving yards in a regular season game. Kirk Cousins was throwing…
The oddsmakers were right again, the Minnesota Vikings fell to the Detroit Lions. Justin Jefferson broke the Viking's single-game franchise record for receiving yards in a regular season game. Kirk Cousins was throwing dimes. But again the Viking's Defense allowed over 400 yards, confirming their ranks in last place in the NFL in several defense categories. Is it time to make a change? Is Ed Donatell heading out the door if this happens one more time? Join us!

HOT DISH SPORTS PODCAST
Overnight we had some incredible breaking news! Yesterday afternoon the San Fransisco Giants postponed the signing of former Minnesota Twin shortstop Carlos Correa due to an issue that came up in his physical. The 13-year $350 Million deal was on pause, but no one thought something would change, it just felt like a technicality that needed to be worked out. I mean how could this happen!? Well, it did, and before everyone woke up on Wednesday morning, the Mets had come to a new agreement with Carlos Correa for 12 years $315 Million. Still a massive deal, maybe not as big as the original yes, but still a ton of money.
The question is, was the Twins front office and ownership even awake when the deal happened?
The deal with the Mets was only 2 years and $30 million more than the Twins 10 year original offer. So the Twins have now missed out on Correa 2 times in 2 weeks. We dive into everything Correa, Joey Gallo, and the rest of the chaos that is the Twins Offseason so far!

Collaboration with PullTab Sports. It’s been a summer of change for the Chicago Steel. New ownership, and a pipeline of blue-chip prospects that have moved on to college hockey and the pros.

We go behind the scenes with a few Steel players who don’t mind the bright lights of media day, and watch an entire community come out to support the Steel as they square off against Muskegon at Fox Valley Ice Arena.
