Locked on Wild LIVE 10-12-25 It’s Time for Major Changes
Denny discusses why it’s time for John Hynes to be fired, why Bill Guerin needs to step aside as GM and why it’s likely the Wild do not win the Central Division after last night’s performance
2 games…going to be ok. Gotta defend well, and faceoffs are a huge part of that. That being said. I thought Jiricek was playing well, love to see him have a shot
Nothing will take a team out of their game plan like a quick goal against. Elevate Hartman, drop Foligno until Zucci gets back. The 1st line is capable of 3 per night and would be considered a great line if they could play better in the defense zone. Might consider swapping Boldy and Rossi with Ek and either Tarasenko or Heartman. If nothing else, give the opponent more than one line to defend against.
Hahaha yes dennyyyy yes. I said it after the first games lineup was announced, hynes is a joke and I dont get the decision making. Then the 2nd game came around and Brodin wasnt limited to 3rd pair š jiricek was sat for bogo š hinostroza and mojo still in the lineup over yurov š yeah nah wild will not being getting 1st or 2nd seed under hynes, terrible coach
I like moose but he's not a second line wing. I feel bad for ohgren cause I feel hynes and wild bill just set him up to fail. And there messing with his confidence
Ive never seen a player be a +3 and get benched the next game until now. Brodin wasnt ready. Foligno needs to be bot 6. Nojo bench. Move up hartzy n ohgren enter yurov. Calen addison pouted his way out the nhl.
Could Seth text or answer more emails while Denny is talking?? Dude this is your most watched show, Denny is entertaining and has great introspection! I've seen Seth do good shows with other people I don't get it.
Alright!!! 2.44 percent of the games have been played and it's time to get down on the wild. The defense stinks so lets get rid Zeev, Faber and Brodin for sure because coming off disabled list he's not skating. Of course, we have to get rid all the lines except the first line, but maybe Rossi too. I'm 80 years old so I know how to get the team going for the next 80 games.
Not trying to be hateful here but Denny reminds me of a youth hockey coach that does a lot of talking but itās not backed up with a whole lot of knowledge of the sport. Itās one game, it was bad, there weee some bad bounces as well. Letās see how they rebound, if this goes for 15 games then we can be hitting the SOS and talk drastic measures.
2nd game of the season…let's start talking trades and a new a coach. Geez. I will say this with all due respect to denny….but u have been wrong…..ALOT.
1 bad game and Denny is saying things like āgod help usā and āhynes has to goā. Holy cow man, take a breath. How about you get Denny on the show once every other week and he can at least make his ridiculous comments based on a handful of games.
Denny is the typical wild fan. All the negative is the coach and GMs fault but when you ask if they should get any credit for the 5-0 win he looks confused and says why would he? Lol give him credit for the loss but not the win. Yep, this is definitely Minnesota.
Listen everyone, this isn't new this isn't about two games, this is about and how he coaches, starting from last year, His line ups last year were Ridiculous, and it hasn't changed, I was hoping with the kids he would change, but that's clearly not happening, we are still a one line team That won't get us to the promise land
Man I understand not hitting the panic button but feel like Denny is just trying to have a discussion and Seth is annoyed and irritated with him. Denny just seems disappointed with the lines and the coaching. Iām not hitting the panic button either but I understand Dennyās concerns/disappointment. Why does Seth have him on the show if he doesnāt want to have a discussion with him? Seth just seems checked out when Denny is on
#MNWild may not be telling Buium to NOT Backcheck but I am willing to bet that GM/Coach are telling Buium to be offensively aggressive which ZB is still figuring out at the NHL level.
***Denny, here's a suggestion. Grab a notebook and pencil before tonight's game and pick an aspect of the game (PK, PP, 5 on 5, just the goalie, just the wings, or whatever) or specific player(s), and write down what you see. Likes and dislikes, and specific examples. And for the next game do the same thing but select a different aspect. The reason I suggest this we have plenty of shows about firing Hynes, the line combinations, the kids, who should be the next coach, etc. Just a thought to help freshen things up bit.
After reading all the comments, I will say this Denny is right on with foligng he should not be on the second line, and Denny has been talking about hynes and his lineups for a long time,this doom and gloom is not justified yet but he does bring up a good point, as for the rookies, well will see the jury is still out, as for saying Denny is always wrong ? I really question that as Iāve been listening to him for years, heās pretty much right about everything, and let me remind you of this, when he said Deno would be fired ,everyone said heās crazy and didnāt know what he talking about just for the record he was right , this was a show about Denny whoās love for the wild is real Great show Mary
Late to the party here. A head coaches first priority is winning games, thatās his job. A lot goes into that and there are many different styles. The Wild have played a lot of kids. KK, Boldy, Rossi, Faber, now ZB. My opinion is the new kids on the ice will get played when they help win games. Unless a team is in extreme rebuild thatās pretty much how the entire NHL works. The Wild smoked St. Louis Which has a proven coach, check the goaltending stats as they are a top indicator of whoās winning. I think Yurov will be the next kid up as Iām already including Wallstedt. If you think Hynes is making lineup decisions a la carteā¦well Iād say youāre not tracking with the Upper Wild Managementās style. Fun fact if a team gets more than 4 points out of a playoff spot by Thanksgiving, they only have a 10% chance of making the playoffs.

Let's not immediately panic. 1 bad defensive game.

Then the 2nd game came around and Brodin wasnt limited to 3rd pair š jiricek was sat for bogo š hinostroza and mojo still in the lineup over yurov š yeah nah wild will not being getting 1st or 2nd seed under hynes, terrible coach
They looked lazy from the start.
I like moose but he's not a second line wing. I feel bad for ohgren cause I feel hynes and wild bill just set him up to fail. And there messing with his confidence
When are all these draft pics going to play?? I just can't believe there all busts it's the lack of development in Iowa??
16:15 Addison and his father couldnāt keep their mouths shut. Same with Talbotsās wife.
Might be a hot take but I thought the tank looked washed. Slow, way behind plays, and missing simple passes.
Ive never seen a player be a +3 and get benched the next game until now. Brodin wasnt ready. Foligno needs to be bot 6. Nojo bench. Move up hartzy n ohgren enter yurov. Calen addison pouted his way out the nhl.
Man, I legit still miss Deano!
Kap – Rossi – Tarasenko
Yurov – ek – Hartman
Haight – Trenin – Foligno
Ohgren – jojo – Hinostroza
Edit, canāt believe I forgot Boldy:
Kap – Rossi – Tarasenko
Boldy – Ek – Hartman
Yurov – Trenin – Foligno
Ohgren – Haight – Jojo
Better?
Jeeze…. who pissed in his cereal? He's not wrong, but it's only game 2
Itās 1 of 82. Relax. Last show was aboutā the dynasty that was being built.ā
With all these young players itās going to be ups and downs for the first 20games at least. I bet anything they come out and light it up next game.
The PP is deadly tho. This team is starting to resemble that Edmonton team from a couple years ago with how top heavy we are.
Could Seth text or answer more emails while Denny is talking?? Dude this is your most watched show, Denny is entertaining and has great introspection! I've seen Seth do good shows with other people I don't get it.
Gus was terrible
But puck luck is a thing guys
I'd do kap-Rossi-Vlad, Boldy-Ek-Ohgren
But it's way too early in the season to be disappointed
This dude doesnāt know what he is talking about

Jesus the doom and gloom is incredible. Give them a bag skate and read them the riot act. I wouldn't throw away the whole season after 1 loss.

It should be a rule that u cant critique any team until ur atleast 10 games into the season š¤£š¤£
Denny i think ur going blind..u must have not seen that mojo was the only one that can actually take the puck from center ice and drive it to the net.
2nd game of the season…let's start talking trades and a new a coach. Geez. I will say this with all due respect to denny….but u have been wrong…..ALOT.

Ridiculous, and it hasn't changed,
I was hoping with the kids he would change, but that's clearly not happening, we are still a one line team

Your going to change the first line when they lead the NHL???

They won last night, are you ok now?
Late to the party here. A head coaches first priority is winning games, thatās his job. A lot goes into that and there are many different styles. The Wild have played a lot of kids.
