On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we recap a frustrating loss to Columbus. We discuss the defense through the first 5 games of the season, and more concerningly, the high level of turnovers that have led to additional chances for opposing teams. We discuss the Wild looking slow, and too many players having little to no impact on large stretches of games. We discuss Vinni Lettieri being called up, and why the players from Iowa shouldn't be put in a position to have to save the Wild from their struggles. We look at the line combinations, and discuss the need to put everything in a blender. We make a comparison to the Minnesota Vikings after their NFC Championship Game appearance, with the common thread being retaining players that got to a particular level of performance, despite their advanced ages, and why it has put the Wild in a very real predicament going forward. Unfortunately we do not have answers to many of the questions posed in this show, but we will continue to try to find these answers as the season unfolds.
