On today’s emergency edition of Locked on Wild, we discuss the breaking news that Dean Evason has been relieved of his duties along with assistant coach Bob Woods. We discuss Dean’s tenure, as well as the reasons he was eventually let go. We discuss penalties, postseason defeats, inability to rely on young players, and how his tune has changed this season as losses started to mount. We discuss the ultimate goal of the Wild this year still being a playoff berth, which led to this change to try to get the team back on track. We discuss whether or not that is attainable, and what John Hynes brings to the table. We look at his previous stops, and what he needs to address right away with the Wild when he is announced as head coach.

Denny was right. Denny was always right
Leipold is the problem. Guerin's days are number.
As always, SOMEHOW, Darby still has a job 😂
1.) SELL THE TEAM LEIPOLD
2.) We hired Mike Yeo with more shine on his chrome dome
3.) GM Judd Brackett when?
This new coach doesn’t work well w young players, God Help Me. Why even draft players if U will never play them. This Organization is Clueless, Guerin are U Drunk, U are going down the same road to nowhere
Boy….haven't seen this song and dance the last 20+ years
The problem is Billy always making too many moves and trades that we are never stable at a team. When anything goes wrong, a trade happens, everyone is scared to even skate and the chemistry is constantly changing. The new coach is a downgrade. BG needs to go.
Thank you Seth Alex
What's next, this is what I would do
With the team right now,
New sheriff in town here's the new rules
If you don't work and put one hundred percent on the ice
Well. I love practice no more country club i would start with HERBIES
A reference to Herb Brooks, if you don't
Put One hundred percent
So much so that either you work
Or ask to be traded
Second I would work on that dump and chase, no more if you don't have a path in, circle and try again
The Russian red army was the very best at it, review tapes,
Third I would have each player work on a shoot out move and practice it so no matter the goalie thinks he can't stop it
Much like Miko's backhand move
And last but not least you have to play
Are fourth line alot more than previous
That's for openers
WELL THE PASSENGERS ARE PUT ON NOTICE!
Maybe we will get a coach who believes in strong checking but can use size to make up for lack of speed!
Let these guys use their natural talent, not force them into a system they are not fit for! Time to end the long drop pass on the "Power(less) Play"!
Faber said he is pushed into more systems than skills from the way it sounds.
Tuesday we play the only tem between the botton and the Wild! Probably a good time for a change.
Guerin's career light just went into overdrive. Here comes former Devils and Predator Head Coach, John Hynes. Ironically, whom has not coached a team past 1st round so don't be too excited. He may be outside of his depth as Evason was but we sill need go see for ourselves now!
I don't think Hines is the right coach
If he doesn't adjust game to game
Also I think you're going to see a big improvement from all players
Crazy Denny like prediction. Dean ends up in Edmonton and wins a cup there with mcdavid
Damn this one stings. Not even kidding I changed my username randomly earlier before this news broke…
Deano is the reason why I started following hockey closely tbh. Such an intense but humble guy.
Ran into him at a really modest average golf course & he couldn’t have been more down to earth. You’d think an NHL coach would be at a more high-end one.
F Billy G I’m actually so pissed. 20 games is way too soon! Gonna miss Deano…he’s one of the good ones in the game😔
Well he might not be out of a job long
