I think he's doing a very good job. Not easy with all the injuries, but he's trying out different things and is not as stubborn as the former guy.

Hard to criticize when you look at the nhl standings. But the PK is still a puzzle he needs to solve.

PK will doom the postseason if it doesn't get fixed

I didn't mind Dean, but I think he's been an upgrade. Having a full training camp I think helped get them off to a better start this year. The injuries have been frustrating, but every team has them I guess.

I guess if we make the playoffs we will see if he can make changes on the fly better than Deano.

He's been a HUGE upgrade from Deano, but this PK situation is maddening

I miss Bruce and I think he was a great coach. I believe his deference to the vets was driven top down. Evason was garbage and Hynes is garbage.

I liked Bruce, but Hynes isn't garbage thus far

Missed games:
6 Kaprizov
13 Zuccarello
14 Eriksson Ek
10 Brodin
11 Middleton
8 Spurgeon

3rd in the West, 4th in the league at the halfway mark. Hard not give him credit.

Absolutely have to give Hynes credit. Coaching is all about building confidence and having your players buy into what you are preaching. The Wild are a prime example of a well coached team. Even the PK has picked it up lately. With all the bodies missing it is even more important to execute a game plan well. The Wild are almost impeccable in doing that each game. That’s a sign of the team buying into the coach’s ideas. Solid A for Hynes and his team.
