Has Hynes announced no lineup changes for Saturday yet? 😅
Spurgeon should never have been made captain💡
How the hell did Leo and Billy Snowball Kap into signing his career away here🤔😳
Yup, dean wasn't the issue. Billy fired Dean because he ain't gonna admit to where he's failed.
Time to sack the coach??
Alot of empty seats.great show Seth
Billy g is on borrowed time the longer this continues
When billy g was hired I was pretty high on him…not so much anymore
They don't give a f…send players packing
It is their worst season at least with the lemair early years the players gave 110 percent all the time
Well the non aggressive off season has put us here, unless we get another top 6 winger and trade out of some of these slower old players
Seth I love your reaction to Pete deboer lol my same when people say deboer
I like a angry Seth lol 😅
Just think if we had a capable gm on how different this roster would look
The ONLY highlight was the 10 year old fighting a horrible sickness . That little boy is fighting for his life!!
Looks like they spent too much for Gus too. Coach has got to go . Process yeah. Sure..
Thanks for the honest discussion.
Get Billy on …
так всё же "хорошо" …….: Болди отдаёт шайбу не свободному в центре Кириллу а в борьбу у борта……….- научился у 17.38.24.25 и 46…..осталось вернуть Дамбу и Гудро и команда пассажиров в сборе… играющая на отброс и возню у борта ……а вернее не желающих играть ….- 38 не даст соврать……..команда в которой 17 и 38 в топ – 6 не способна ничего выиграть.
Убирайте 17и 38 из команды! хватит обманывать себя и молодых игроков!
несколько сезонов вопросы к защите …….но тренер "хороший "а вот игроки тупые ….ни как не делают как тренер говорит……
тренер по атаке "хороший" но игроки тупые…….не делают как он говорит ……не понимают что тройки наигрывать надо…….что в большинстве не надо "красиво" а надо просто забить быстро и наказать соперника за штраф….
Leopold needs to sell the team….. Now that’s cleaning house!!🧐
Here’s a silver lining in this cloud of a wild season: S Tope is in the running to be my favorite wild podcast. There I said it. Bro, you’ve played your way out of the farm team and earned a spot on the bottom six last season. This season you’re putting out content every day. EVERY DAY!! on top of that your pod is all muscle, no fat. No filler. You’re now in the top six my guy. Keep up the great work!!!!
100% agree it’s a roster problem. That’s on bill and Brackett.
Realistically Billy should have spnt high early and played young on the bottom 6. But Billy isn't a good GM! Everyone forgets that Billy initiated the buyouts, there also was a trade for Praise but he bailed then bought him out.
The most frustrating thing is there were quality trades that could have happened. Billy didn't want to pay the price. He didn't want to make the team worse by make moves that didn't improve the roster in the long run. Now here we are.
It's ironic that Mojo is the only player playing better than expected.
This roster needs changed for sure but ultimately they are better than this. This falls on the coach not having them ready to start the season. You got to make alot of changes but the first thing you need to do is get your current roster playing what they are capable of. Thats the first thing, then you look at other changes.You could put McDavid on this roster and with Hynes coaching we wouldn't be winning
I'm not a Hynes guy but roster creation and personnel fall on Guerin, not Hynes. Hynes didn't sign Wlad & Sturm or send Haight and Ohgren to Iowa, Guerin did. The roster is BAD outside of a few players and DeBoer, Carle, Torts, Quinville, Bowman, Arbour, Blake, or Lemaire arent going to change that. A "new voice" isn't changing dick with the current roster. Yes, Hynes is terrible at line combinations and in-game adjustments but if you fire him now you just get an interim guy until the off-season. They could fire Hynes now and it wouldn't bother me BUT until you move some of these long-time regular roster players nothing changes…..For as terrible as the Wild are, 2 wins and they have 13 points which ties them with EDM in a WC spot 🤣
At the very least, I would send Jones and Pitlick to Iowa, call oghren and Haight up, move Wlad to the 4th and Yurov to the 2nd, and give Wallsted some starts….
Yea, I should have something to say here, but I can't watch this team play like this so I haven't been watching them. I know you all will tell me when it starts to improve…… Unless they don't. There simply are no excuses for this. I smell decay in the locker room. Bunch of hockey players who have star syndrome. How's that working out for ya Wilds?
I just want to know why are u blaming Tarasenko all the time he’s not I liability and I think it’s a defence in the coaching. The problems were there before he arrived. He pleased to gain the right way.
I got all night😂😂😂😂
They should have a fire sale
Gophers and Wild hockey 🏒 both pussy teams. S o f t .
Seems like the Wild had an intelligent game plan that was competitive to start and through the first period. Then when Pittsburgh adjusted at intermission there was no ability to tweak and stay competitive. That is coaching or ineffective coaching. Play Zeev with anyone else and more. Fall off in Power Play scoring correlates with him off that top group
And we don’t have a 1st round pick
Get Peter Laviolette in here to replace Hynes. We need to start playing our young guys and give them more minutes at elevated roles win or lose. It wont solve all our problems but you gotta start somewhere. If you don’t play the young guys pick up the phone and start making trades asap.
Agree with most of what’s said however the playoffs and regular season are two completely different things. This roster will not be successful in either but I think it’s designed for the playoffs and not the regular season. This also failed miserably.
They need a coach with the stones to make these guys do nothing but CRUSHER DRILLS (aka Herbie's) and nothing but for every practice moving forward until they puke and every last one of them cries for mommy – Until they cry that they will work 100% from the initial puck drop. Nothing sucks worse than people who think they're entitled and not subject to the rules of the road. Craig should withold payment and pay the % they put out on the ice!
What is everyone complaining about? I thought we wanted a high draft pick.
They keep running back the same aging veterans year after year. Reminds me of this saying "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
None of this should be a surprise. We need a new GM. And not Judd. It's easy to draft players with "potential" the real work begins when they show up for their first camp.
