Appears there may get be an opening for another assistant, likely one Haynes can name..... Darby is the Rasputin of Wild coaches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomdog Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Not realistic to can everyone. Hynes is also not definitely the coach next year. I would hope they do a more in-depth search for a permanent replacement. For now it’s time to embrace the suck and hope for the best come draft lottery time. Unfortunately I believe the league really wants Chicago to be a powerhouse again, so pretty sure they get the #1 overall regardless of where they finish.

Icechipper Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Hynes comes with NCAA and Hockey USA ice cred: played/graduated (phyed) at BU, led USA development teams, assisted at Wisconsin and UMass-Lowell....

According to Russo, he's really the skills teacher. He does a lot of 1-on-1's with players in regards to drills and film work. He's not in charge of either the PK or the PP currently, they said he has a ton of respect from the organization and that his job is interchangeable no matter who the head coach is. They said he's the one that facilitates a lot of the drills and is out on the ice with the players and is still in playing shape. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseAndAssist Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The honeymoon is certainly at an end. Boldy still looks more engaged. No one works harder than Eriksson Ek. Kaprizov seems to be back to giving 50% and playing on the perimeter. Goaltending has been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notfondajane Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I have tickets for the Pens- Wild game on December 18th. I'll be behind the Wild net. I'm ready to rip Fleury a new a-hole. It would be a nice bday present if the Penguins could score 10 against him. (I apologize Wild fans I'm not a MAF fan!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think he is going to play against his former team. It would be nice if Wild will place 10 goals in Jarry's net. (I apologize I am not a Penguins as well as not a Hurricanes fan). It is enough to say anything bad about our goalie on our forum who is a candidate for the NHL Hall of Fame. It is getting very annoying to read that bothersome stuff from the fans of other teams who do not care at all about our team future and a Wild history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notfondajane Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 To be honest with Wild fans, I got on Fleury while he was winning Cups with Pittsburgh. I also got on Tom Barrasso the same way. I didn't like Tom attitude after the Pens won their first 2 cups. It went to his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreaseAndAssist Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Goaltending hasn't been as good this year. What's wrong with admitting that? We shouldn't have a problem with accepting simple facts like that. Fleury doesn't bother me. He seems like he's being a good teammate and I don't think we are bending over backwards trying to make sure he passes up Patrick Roy. The Wild just suddenly letting go of Chris O'Hearn certainly should raise some eyebrows as he was thought to be a smart guy and Guerin's right hand man. Apparently that dissolved quickly. Perhaps someone is trying to scapegoat him for the dumb deals we signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfondajane Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 In my honest opinion, the Penguins screwed Fleury when they drafted him. He should have spent a year or two in the minors to get ready for life in THE N.H.L. Instead the threw him into the fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay Lightning was able to stop Oilers 8 winning games streak on that day with a score 7:4. Stamkos was able to score 4 goals in that game for the 1st time in his career. And he is the last player at this moment/so far who did this (placed 4 goals in one game) in NHL history. I started to look for the NHL records who placed the most goals in one game. Joe Malone is the only player in NHL history to score seven goals in one game, doing so for the Quebec Bulldogs on Jan. 31, 1920. No one was able to reach that record since 1920. Only 7 players in NHL history were able to net 6 goals in one game. The last player who abled to do this (6 goals in one game) was Darryl Sittler for Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins team on 02/07/1976. In that game he also had 4 assists. An interesting fact also that Darryl Sittler is the only player who had 10 points in one game. On a category of 5 goals in one game we have 52 players in NHL history. And one of them is Marian Gaborik who placed 5 goals and had 1 assist during the Wild game vs NY Rangers on 12/20/2007.
