Bill forgets that the cap issue was self inflicted so tired of hearing about it . How about addressing the obvious coaching changes needed. PK and PP under this coaching staff is horrific and that’s on the coaches.
What a joke Evason and coaches not held accountable. It was obvious what the problem was lack of intensity and adjustments. That starts w coaches and Captain Time to move forward. W they can’t be that obtuse. The young players need trust and a chance to show their skills w proper talent and line combos. Where is the openness and honesty. Evaluation shows there’s something lacking from a preparation aspect. Not fixing perennial problems means the staff DID NOT DO THEIR JOB PERIOD
U need new Special Teams Coaches. It was atrocious and rumor has it this team defers on practices. If memory serves St Louis worked on PP and PK daily. Pathetic if true
Love Billy. He will guide us to where we need to be. The guy has played and won at the highest levels. Love to see him pushing back on the media who have never played the game at any high level in their life, but try to push certain narratives and bs. It’s easy to talk about things you don’t actually do.
Imagine the GM or Coach going into the locker room before each game in round 1 and telling the guys, “alright fellas, our goal is not to get to the next round, it’s something bigger.” Like what are you talking about. That’s such a degree of cope it’s insane.
Listening to these two sure makes it crystal clear why the team didn’t get past the first round of the playoffs. Every team has great excuses as to why they didn’t win. Winning teams ignore the excuses that end other teams and just win.
Glad to see fans are slowly realizing what I have said since guerin was hired and then fired boudreau only to replace him with the skinnier grumpier version of boudreau but without the playoff success at any level. Evason needs to be fired. 1-13 in playoff series at any level. Whl, ahl and nhl. He doesn't know how to make adjustments. And what has being grittier gone us? What did acquiring reaves get us? What did acquiring deslauriers get us last year? Absolutely nowhere. It was a failure. Not trying to make it to round 2? Are you just brain dead? Why even try making the playoffs then? There is no reason to get a late first round pick if you aren't trying to win the cup!
Lot's of ignorant comments and questions. Those who see the big picture know these are large and complex issues. All caps are not created equal when you have states that have no income taxes and states where players prefer to play due to climate and quality of live outside of the game. What I hear is a group of people who are trying to do the best they can with what they have and time has shown they are building a program for long term success despite some setbacks that no one can do anything about.

Our cap issues.. QQ
Everyone has the same cap, and long term decisions have long term consequences.
Winning IS hard.
Cap issues are your problem because it was created by the team.
Because you’ll never face facts and admit seasons like this ARE failures is why you’ll only see the second round from your couch. Just facts. 📠
wtf do you mean “our goal is not to get to the 2nd round.” Is this a joke? The goal is to win the Stanley Cup, is it not? Am I wrong?
Are you kidding me?
Thank you Russo for pushing back with your questions.

I’m a Dallas Stars fan and this press conference even pisses me off. I feel for the Wild fan base. Y’all deserve better.
Failure is defined by lack of effort, lack of adjustments and lack of accountability. This team Failed and did not improve in play in the playoffs

Great season, Wild. I am so sorry your playoff run had to end so soon thanks to a team that cheated and stupid refs.

Bullshit. Unbelievable
Epitome of a loser franchise

Bill should be fired.

It's not a failure? This team is resilient? you're going to start losing fans billy
I sensed a little coldness by BG towards the coach , and coaching staff questions…anybody else?
Billy snapped at Russos question like a dog.
Has Russo even put on skates before?
This season WASN'T a failure? C'mon Billy, you're better than that. Quit with all the excuses man.
Thanks Russo for the grill 🙂
Bill should be a politician. LOL
