I honestly believe that O’Reilly is the best thing that has ever happened to Forsberg.

Yeah but with about 20 games to go they were flirting with missing the playoffs. We were withing striking distance of them until then. That weird late 18 out of 21 run skewed how last season looked for them.

Ekholm isn't a country clubber. But just like otherwise good goalies who go there and get dragged down, Ekholm with the rest of that defense is gonna look worse than he did here.

Holland only took over in Edmonton four years ago. This is longer term and now borders on team culture.

Yeah and can't win crap in the playoffs
That's too bad. They made it sound like it was a family issue the other night.
Hope he finds balance in his life.

Fascinating, Chitago loses Hall for the season due to his knee, now Perry is out for “team reasons”. Sounds like they are making sure they tank.

I mean lets be honest here, I'm fully expecting Chicago to pull the #1 again this year because the NHL wants that franchise at the top again so just like last year they will make sure it happens.Fascinating, Chitago loses Hall for the season due to his knee, now Perry is out for “team reasons”.

Sad but true. San Jose really needs/deserves it more. But like last year, Chicago is the more prime market. Despite already having had their turn at Cup glory.

Yep. San Jose will get hosed and everyone will tell us that its all above board and just worked that way.Sad but true. San Jose really needs/deserves it more. But like last year, Chicago is the more prime market. Despite already having had their turn at Cup glory.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't do it with Detroit when they were starting.

I think its more they are playing to the reality of where they should have been the last year or two and don't have guys like Hartman putting up 80pts in a season out of the blue and freaking Freddie G putting up 19g and nearly 40 pts. Young guys apparently aren't playing that well either.

Best part is the Wild come to Nashville Thursday night. I'm pretty sure he's still living in Nashville so an extra night in his bed I guess.
Granted he hasn't had great rosters but it is amazing that Hynes has managed to find another job despite never finishing better than a wild card spot. Just really seems like he would benefit from going on the assistant coaching rehabilitation tour.

This will be the most satisfying “He sucks too” chant of all time.

Ok so Evanson never made any sense, but hiring Hynes makes absolutely zero sense. He has done nothing to be given a 3rd chance. I mean we have guys that have gone back to being assistants for 10 years before getting another chance, how does he keep suckering guys into this.
Almost makes me feel bad for Wild fans, almost.

I feel bad for them. Actually, they have done very well relative to their roster strength IMO under Evason. It couldn't last. 3 seasons in a row I felt they were putting up pts waaaay above their talent level. But a coach can't usually just keep on dragging a team to over-achieve indefinitely. That usually has a very limited shelf life.
They sure aren't going to get that with Hynes. I'm surprised he gave up his golfing for that "opportunity".

Apparently Guerin is in that same circle that got Poile to hire him, so its another buddy hire.
