Sports Weekend with Steve Thomson

We began the final home stretch of this Sports Saturday with Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press talking all things Loons and Gopher draft picks. Also we discuss PWHL Minnesota in pursuit of the postseason and looking ahead to the 2024 PWHL Draft. Then we recap Wolves-Suns Game 3 and what has led to their success. Finally, we play back some of the postgame comments from Rocco on the heels of their win in Los Angeles last night. 

After a mostly dominant three games this series the Minnesota Timberwolves have the Phoenix Suns right where they want them as they sit 3-0 in the series and could sweep the Suns on Sunday  night. We break down the Game 3 performance last night and what has been the keys to success so far this postseason.

Caught up with Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press to check in on the Loons this season. How has the new coach Eric Ramsay adjusted to being in Minnesota so far? We also preview a tested matchup tonight at Allianz Field against Sporting KC. We also break down some Gopher draft picks taken to this point including Tyler Nubin to New York among others.

Full slate on a Sports Saturday with Steve Thomson, a mild winter has made for some interesting spring weather and water conditions. We talked fishing with Steve Carney as fishing opener fast approaches. Also chatted Twins baseball with Bobby Nightengale who writes for the Twins at the Star Tribune as the Twins won their fifth straight game after defeating the Angels late last night! We dive into some NFL Draft discussion and recap the many Stanley Cup playoff games taking place today and recap last night’s action.

Steve Thomson alongside producer Josh Wheeler break down the NFL Draft to this point, including the Minnesota Vikings first round success of grabbing both J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner - but which one will make the most impact? Also weigh in on Joe Alt to the Chargers, Kirk Cousins drama with Penix being drafted to Atlanta - is it legitimate?
