Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild’s latest playoff heartbreak, another overtime loss to Vegas. This time, with both the series and game tied 2-2, the Wild had a goal disallowed with 75 seconds left in regulation because of an off-sides call. They lost in overtime, and now their season is on the brink. Plus a tough Twins loss and J.J. McCarthy’s bold proclamation.

8:00: Chip Scoggins joins Rand to mostly talk about the Wolves’ 3-1 series lead heading into Wednesday’s Game 5 in Los Angeles. They also get into the Vikings’ draft.

32:00: An Iowa fan thinks Rand forgot about something.
