The "John Hynes Core" Keep Coming Through in the Clutch!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at some subtle things that John Hynes continues to do well, including his communication with players and just allowing the players that should be leading this team to do their things. We look at some of his recent comments regarding Kirill Kaprizov, and also Brock Faber and Marco Rossi, and how some of these exact same things fell by the wayside when the going got tough under Dean Evason. We define the "Hynes Core" the players who have frequently put the team in position to win games, and that core is exactly who you would expect: Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, Marco Rossi and Brock Faber. We look at how this differs from even earlier in the season. We finish by previewing tomorrow's game against Boston and what the Wild need to do to beat Boston again, including:

Keep the Battle Level Consistent all game
Clean up the Careless Penalties
Attack the DIRTY AREAS!
