In this episode of Wild Takes, Dev and Zooch give their Stick Taps and Cup Clinks of the week to honor Paul Fenton, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Kirill Kaprizov the Birthday Boy, Byron Buxton and Kyle Schwarber (3:16-13:37)

Then the boys welcome on ESPN and Puck Soup's notable Devils fan, Greg Wyshynski. Greg & the boys talk about Greg's takes on the Wild as a national guy (14:30) the Wild goalies history and current situation (16:32) whether Greg thinks the Wild are contenders or pretenders, and how they match up against the Blues (18:34) before diving into the value of ESPN+ and how that will help grow hockey in general (23:29) and what the current era is doing to help bolster the game. Then, Dev challenges Zooch and Greg to a head to head game of Wild & Devils Fact or Fiction (30:26) and, right before Greg takes off he spouts off quite possibly the most insane Wild Take in the history of the podcast (44:24)

SPOILER ALERT FOR A 30 YEAR OLD MOVIE: Greg's take is about the finale of the movie SE7EN

After Greg takes off, Dev and Zooch review the previous week and preview the moderately important final week of the regular season (49:09) before giving their Wild Takes (1:00:52) where Zooch gives possibly his most controversial take and Dev makes a baffling prediction about the 2023 Oscars

All that and more on an episode Ebert & Roper give "two thumbs way up" and other critics are calling "a heartwarming buddy-cop adventure to discover the true meaning of friendship and Christmas"
