On today’s episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we recap an eventful week in which the Wild fired Dean Evason and hired John Hynes. We look at the first three games of the Hynes tenure, the differences he brings to the table and how he has addressed areas in which Dean Evason seemed to struggle throughout his tenure. We talk about Hynes embracing rookies Brock Faber and Marco Rossi, as well as his willingness to more evenly distribute minutes depending on how various line combinations are playing during each game. We discuss the top line combination of Marco Rossi-Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov and how they have managed to build chemistry, and what the Wild have for options to try to get the second line to match. We look ahead to a busy week with West Coast games and what we may see from John Hynes when things don’t go according to plan. We also throw out a shoutout to our wonderful listeners who continue to propel the show higher and higher. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING EVERY DAY!

Adjustments especially playing Faber and Brodin w First Line, Moving Hartman down but he should be 3 rd line bench Foligno and put Lehterri back on 3 rd for speed.
Not sure what the hell they are gonna do w 3rd D pairing but Merrill and Gologoski are a fricken disaster to the Nth degree.
Im predicting a Merrill Own Goal vs Canucks. What is the over under on cough ups in the D Zone😂😂
Good morning
Alex did you talk to Dad
Hi all ! I don’t understand why Hartman was moved to the fourth line? I thought he would play on the third line.
Nashville won 6 in a row
The fourth line , is no longer the fourth line
Thanks guys
Seth how about an episode with new coach JH. Invite him to join the Wild Unlocked Show.
Morning fam. I was watching Patty Maroon's interview by Carts and King on Wild on 7th….when he talked about how the Blues had a terrible start in the year they won the cup….it got me fired up…somewhat. The Kings did the same thing around that time too.
That's where im so torn….we see a terrible start, now we go 3-0…Im not even going to attempt guessing the next road trip…but it will be more difficult, and I doubt this rollercoaster will end just because Hynes is here (although I love his tweaks so far too).
There's a fresh sense of balance now, and as much as Im hoping for the best, Im preparing for the worst. Staying injury-free is incredibly important, that's for sure.
Have a great day everyone
Walker would replace JoJo nicely
Hi guys, I am at work so I'll give this a listen a bit later today. Posting based solely on the title of the video, what has impressed me is the response JH is getting from the players. It is never an easy situation for a new coach coming in, or the players, after a firing. Couple that with all the NMCs and these guys could've continued to just pack it in, but they didnt. It is a small sample size yet though too. I am still concerned with Foligno the ghost and Merrill the liability. As always, thanks Seth & Alex.
Johnny Vibes needs to see waivers ASAP 😂😂😂 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
I've been waiting for a coach, such as Hinz to actually coach in game, his in game adjustments are a thing of beauty
The results are immediate, the players love playing for him, hence the production, next up Billy has to make a trade, trade Merrill to whoever and give them a draft pick, the only thing in return cap space, it has to be done
San Jose comes to mind, much like what Arizona did, we really need mermis Hunt as are third d , kosky can't play more than one two games a week
To be effective as always great show
Travis brought up something to think about, foligno is playing lost not really knowing his role, I'm sure Hinz will address this, next up mojo, what the Hell is he smoking? He has get his mind right
Yup, I would be wary of Calgary Panthers West. They made the Stars look utterly foolish twice.
