Are The Minnesota Wild Currently The Dallas Stars’ Biggest Rival? | DLLS Stars Podcast

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/joinThe Other 31: Minnesota WildOur guest today is Jess Myers, Wild beat writer for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Minnesota Wild snapped a 10-year drought in April, when they beat the Dallas Stars in six games in the first round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was the first series win for the Wild since the 2015 post season. GM Bill Guerin made a huge splash last season when he traded a king’s ransom for Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes, a move that helped Guerin with the Jim Gregory GM of the Year award. However, the Wild crashed out of the playoffs in the second round in just five games to the Colorado Avalanche. Minnesota is clearly one of the current “Big Three” in the Central Division, along with the Stars and Avalanche, and will be expecting to contend for the top of the division and the Stanley Cup in 2026-27. It may be recency bias, but are the Wild currently the Stars’ biggest rival?An ALLCITY Network ProductionSUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_SportsALL THINGS DLLS:WEBSITE:http://allDLLS.com/BUY MERCH: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-lockerFOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_SportsBecome a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!
