I don’t mind BG taking a shot at Nyquist. A 2nd rounder isn’t all that much and he was one of the few guys we could fit in. A shooter shoots; a loser doesn’t admit his shot was bad though.
They are gonna name that series game by game result after the wild , seems like that’s all they know how to do. We get outcoached and fail to make meaningful changes every single f***ing playoffs

Hynes didn't even try to be aggressive until it was FAR too late.
Get a 2-1 series lead and turned right into try not to lose mode immediately instead of foot on the gas and bury them.

Hynes probably starts the 25-26 season still in charge, but all bets are off after that.
Guerin has to have a good summer(sign Kap, sign a good FA and/or make significant trades), or his seat gets very hot. It will be his 7th season in charge, and his team hasn't won a single bloody series. He talks a good game, but doesn't deliver.
Leipold makes money, and continues to fill the arena - he says he wants to win, but he doesn't need to win. He's comfortable... a country club owner.

Losing money works for him too.
Anyhow, hard not to feel that Boudreau or Evason would have done more with this roster and opportunity. I'm sure Buium will say the right things about watching this series from the bench but every fan knows the team would have been better off with him in there this game.
I'm not sure that Buium would make a difference in this series, but I sure as hell know that the future at LD is not Jon Merrill. Getting Buium(and Ohgren) some reps now to help them develop for the future made a lot of sense to me, but Hynes made the choice of Nyquist/Brazeau and Merrill, players who have no future with the team.
It's maybe not the reason they lost this series, but it does speak to a mindset of a coach that plays not to lose rather than to take a chance in order to win. I mean, how's it working?

Too long, maybe? But for real, when he was hired there was not too many other options. It was on the fly. I think that ship has sailed, not too many really good coaches on the market right now. What's the dream hire right now in your opinion?
I have no clue to be honest.

Yeah, my wrist watch that was smashed to smithereens a decade ago has more energy than Hynes right now
