The Wild Family! – Minnesota Wild"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tNot everyone considers September to be the start of spooky season, but there\u2019s a chill in the air here in Minnesota, and the second season of Wednesday<\/a> just dropped on Netflix. The fantastical and creepy characters on this show are referred to as Outcasts, which seems to fit the Minnesota Wild and the idea that most fans around the league tend to undervalue them.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst of all, if you haven\u2019t watched Wednesday, you should because it\u2019s highly entertaining. But you won\u2019t need to have seen it to read the article. I gotchu. And it\u2019s okay to just bookmark this until October if you consider yourself a Halloween purist.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday and Her Bestie Enid<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"IMG_2750.jpg\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday Addams is 10 steps past a goth girl, obsessed with death and everything surrounding it. She helpfully has psychic abilities, passed down through the witches on her mother\u2019s side. In a hilarious and completely predictable turn of events, she is paired as roommates with Enid Sinclair, a late-blooming werewolf who loves color and probably barfs rainbows. Enid loves to hug, socialize, and run her gossip blog. They are, in every conceivable way, complete opposites.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWho could be more of a black cat from the Wild than Matt Boldy<\/a>? He\u2019s the straight-faced main character on the ice and his own golden retriever, or, in this instance, Enid Sinclair, in Brock Faber<\/a>. This duo continues to inspire comparisons, which is why this article was conceived in the first place.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Rest of the Addams Family<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tUnlike the first season, the current season of Wednesday digs even further into other members of the Addams family. Morticia is Wednesday\u2019s mother. She\u2019s the complete opposite of her daughter and doesn\u2019t seem to understand her at all, yet she tries her best to protect her despite their differences. While the maternal roles in these scenarios are usually handed to<\/a> Marcus Foligno<\/a>, this one seems better suited to Jared Spurgeon<\/a>. He\u2019s cool and calm under pressure, but should never be seen as weak.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGomez is the patriarch of the Addams family and is the \u201ckooky\u201d part from the theme song. He\u2019s a ghoul by nature, lover of crashing toy trains and eating roadkill. Despite his quirks, he\u2019s a fierce protector of his family and will do anything for them. Jake Middleton<\/a> comes to mind. He\u2019s a bit silly and fun, but don\u2019t underestimate him when push comes to shove.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWednesday has one brother, Pugsley. He\u2019s a misfit who has a hard time making friends and tends to take after his uncle, Fester. They\u2019re both just a bit out there, but they are loyal and can usually be trusted to put together a good plan.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen it comes to finding the weirdos of the hockey team, look no further than the goaltender. In this case, Filip Gustavsson<\/a> comes to mind as Fester Addams. He\u2019s cool under fire and an all-around loveable weirdo. On the other hand,\u00a0Jesper Wallstedt<\/a>\u00a0is young Puglsey. He\u2019s still finding his place in the world and might have some screw-ups, but he’s still a valued member of the family.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBianca and the Sirens<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"IMG_2751.jpg\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNevermore Academy, the boarding school where Wednesday, Puglsey, and the other Outcasts attend school, is split up into numerous types of students. One group is the sirens, or creatures who can control others through the use of their voice (or their siren song). Bianca is their fearless leader, but her loyalty is split between her place within the school\u2019s culture and her loyalty to her mother.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKirill Kaprizov<\/a> is a siren on the ice. How many times has he taken the puck for a walk around the offensive zone, making two or three laps while everyone stands still and watches? And, like Bianca, he has found himself in a tough spot between his role as an NHL superstar and his ties to his homeland.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Werewolves<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWerewolves are another group at the school, traveling often as a pack. The werewolf is human by day, but transforms into a human-wolf hybrid under a full moon. In some instances, they only change during that time, but in other cases, there is some flexibility within it. Marco Rossi<\/a> is a werewolf type.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAt times, he seems like a docile player, someone to push to the side to focus on a \u201cbigger threat.\u201d But then, in the blink of an eye, he is scoring or making the game-winning assist. And let\u2019s not forget that he\u2019s got a spicy side to him. Remember when he rolled his eyes at Matthew Tkachuk<\/a>? Or put Radko Gudas<\/a> in a headlock?\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Gorgons<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"IMG_2753.jpg\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis group poses a hidden threat under their ever-present beanies. The gorgons can turn any living being to stone (temporarily) with the snakes they keep hidden under their hats.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJonas Brodin<\/a> is a hidden threat in the same way. Criminally underrated, he\u2019s the only defenseman in the league who can keep up with Connor McDavid<\/a> when he puts his jets on. And Brodin can do it all while skating backwards. He might not turn the competition to stone, but Brodin can quickly neutralize them in an unforeseen way every time.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hyde<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"IMG_2752.jpg\"\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is the villain of our story, occupying that role throughout both seasons of the show. This type of Outcast comes from the book Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, where the main character is split into two different personalities.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the show, however, the Hyde needs a \u201cmaster\u201d to unlock their transformation abilities. Mats Zuccarello<\/a>, with his handler Kaprizov, is a force to be reckoned with. He was a great hockey player, but his true potential wasn\u2019t realized until he made the move to MN and settled in next to Kaprizov.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd while Zuccarello is known for his \u201ccrazy eyes,\u201d the Hydes are known for the same physical feature.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Wild Family<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThey\u2019re weird (or not, depending on your thoughts of their commercial tagline), but the Wild are also a family. And it\u2019s fitting that the Addams family motto is \u201c\u2018Sic gorgiamus allos subjectatos nunc.\u2019 We gladly feast on those who would subdue us. Not just pretty words.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Wild are frequently seen as less than or an incredibly minimal threat. But their power is within that structure. The Minnesota Wild will pounce on a weakness and use their strange abilities to come out victorious, just like the Addams family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not everyone considers September to be the start of spooky season, but there\u2019s a chill in the air…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":208661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[171,3112,293,173,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-208660","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-minnesota-wild","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115165326956369048","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
