John Hynes Already Emphasizing Speed over Grit

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we take a deeper look into the ways that John Hynes has moved on from Grit and moved toward Speed as a team mantra. We discuss how the Wild can play fast, even if they don't have an abundance of speed. We talk about Hynes emphasizing speed, and how it will benefit players such as Connor Dewar, Brandon Duhaime and Kirill Kaprizov. We also talk about how speed can translate to decision makin as well, and Hynes emphasizing a style that puts offense first to take pressure off the defense. We look at the parallels in what happened in Vancouver with firing Bruce Boudreau and hiring Rick Tocchet. We look at the areas that Tocchet emphasized and how it propelled the Canucks to second in the Pacific Division so far this year!
