.@WSUM_Sports, the gift that keeps on giving 🎁

Super proud to announce that I have WON the 2025-26 @IBSStudentMedia Award for Best Hockey Play-by-Play with my call of Wisconsin vs Michigan men's hockey last January! 🏆🏒

The moment I found out on FaceTime below 🤣

A dark horse in the Big Ten? @TomFornelli is going with Wisconsin. @Cover3Podcast

@RussoHockey Hope the wild can convince him to go 5 to align with Luke... jack re-ups for 2 at the end of his current devils deal then all three go somewhere then.

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

Would they have any interest in a Nikishin or that kind of player to address the second pair long-term?

Also, with Wally due for a raise, do you think they *should* trade a goalie versus paying two goalies in the 6-8M range?

Same q’s from last week, think they’re still applicable tho haha

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

It’s a @lakeconference_ future Badger. Does it get any better than this if you’re me? I don’t think so.

The Badgers women's hockey team has its first verbal commit for 2028 in Minnetonka forward Claire Sommerfeld, per her Instagram. She had 22 goals and 42 points in 28 games as a sophomore.

@annikadevils @ErikaWachter Congrats Annika, best of luck at the U!

[LOVB Minnesota @lovbmn]

🏐 Full circle starts here.

Eden Prairie raised her. The volleyball world embraced her. Now,@sarah_wilhite is coming home to help build LOVB Minnesota.

@ATess629 @RussoHockey @TalkNorthPod @AnthonyLaPanta I doubt it. The NMC is an NMC, period. That said, I’ll bet he waives if a team like, say, Buffalo or Carolina, calls and says he’ll start for them if Wallstedt keeps improving for the Wild this year.

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@annikadevils Rangers and Canes haha

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@KedrickStumbris For sure, let's do it!

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@annikadevils Do NOT be a Vikings fan. #gpg

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@annikadevils @LockedOnDevils At this point, I think it’s safe to assume both wild cards come out of the Atlantic. That division is loaded.

In the metro, I have Canes and Caps as for sure better. Philly with Leo for sure is I think too, without him more of a maybe. NJD will be in the mix for sure tho

@KrissyBirdsall @uw_sjmc @IndoorFL @JoeyBonadonna Incredible

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@TheMugNHL I can promise you the difference in value between Faber and Hughes is not like seven first-round picks.

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@kaprigoat97 @frank_seravalli @RussoHockey they gave their third to cgy in the coleman deal, so i doubt it.

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@hlrule Now they can re-use this headline in the news!

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@sethtoups wish the wild had the cap space to do these... i would give up four firsts in an instant for either leo, fantilli, or bedard

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@B_Marsh92 I’ve kind of been on this train for the Wild to explore as an avenue to acquire a 1c. Maybe put the heat on our expansion cousins for Fantilli (if they make some moves to clear some cap)?

[Anthony Winker @anthonywinker6]

@RussoHockey @AnthonyLaPanta @TalkNorthPod Have the Wild showed any interest in Nikishin from Car or anybody like that? It feels like something overlooked in the construction of this team is the second pair. Brodin/Spurgeon are awesome but can’t play forever…
