A positive Vikings film review; Wild rewarded for patience; Is this the year for the Wolves?

Introduction: Host Michael Rand started with the Wild's 7-4 win
over Edmonton on Tuesday, a testament to the faith and patience
coaches showed in an underperforming top line. Instead of breaking
up Ryan Hartman, Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello, coach Dean
Evason evaluated their play and talked to the players. They stayed
together, and Hartman's hat trick was the reward for all. It's a
good lesson for many teams, including the Wolves as they start
their season tonight. 10:00: The film review on the Vikings from
their 22-17 win over San Francisco reveals a team that looked very
strong at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Is their
offensive line becoming a relative strength? Plus an exploration in
the film review and in our Vikings poetry section of whether the
Vikings played their best game of the year or if even better things
are to come. 41:00: A very strange World Series reminds Rand of a
very strange trip.
