Patrick Reusse on the Wild's rut, the Wolves' future and the Twins' success

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for an evaluation of the state of Minnesota sports.

In the always volatile NHL playoffs, which this year has already included massive upsets, the Wild have remained a constant with their postseason futility. How do we explain seven straight postseason exits without advancing, which has spanned multiple GMs and coaches? And will this year's defeat be enough to turn fans away?

The Wolves, meanwhile, head into this offseason with some potential. But these playoffs have also been constant reminders of the failures (sorry Giannis) of their past.

And the Twins look like the best team in the AL Central, even with recent starting pitching injuries.
