NHL: Around the League 52

Wonder if Jaeger is still on that Carolina train after last night. They have some holes that are very problematic with the main ones being goalie and a finisher. 2 things that are difficult to pick up.

It's one game and Carolina out shot Tampa by ten. Carolina probably won that game on the spreadsheet.

Minnesota Wild fire Dean evanson

 

[Giovi]

Evason may not have been the most capable coach, but he wins "most psychotic looking coach" hands down.

And they hired John Hynes. Unserious organization.

They are just buying time until the $15mm is up
In a year and a half. But their development of players seems not that great to be honest.

Evason had a 147-77-27 in his time with the Wild. That’s pretty good. I feel like some other team is gonna benefit from the Wild’s rash decision over their shooters going cold and their goalies playing bad, neither of which can really be chalked up to coaching.

Big 2 points for the Sharks. Tied with the Hawks (albeit they've played 3 more games) in the Tank Race.

They aren't playing bad because their shooters went cold and their goalies are bad. That's something someone who only looks at stats sheets, would say.

They have $15MM in dead cap space for one. Poorly constructed roster for another reason. They draft what seems to be fine but development stalls when they get to NHL for another. KK will most likely bolt when his contract is up in a year and a half. They will be stuck in this for the next half decade at least. Probably longer. Not like FAs are clamoring to play for the Wild either.

You’re right, its much more likely Evason just forgot how to coach and KK forgot how to score.

Their whole team isn't scoring. Explain that, they all just went cold? lol They have also never done anything in the playoffs, you won't find many Wild fans upset that he was let go.

Same reason every Vancouver Canuck is shooting the lights out. Or do you think Rick Tocchet is the second coming of Scotty Bowman?

They're hot, credit to the coaching for helping them get there. Clearly, coaching wasn't doing anything to help the Wild.

 

[ClydeLee]

I didn't think he was there for 5 years now. So yeah, fine with them firing him at this point

 

[Putt Pirate]

That Stars/Flames game was a fun one tonight. Except for the Stars having everything reviewed it seemed.

Torts at it again. Replies are pretty damning. Fans complaining that Farabee got sat tonight whilst Torts’ “guys” go unpunished for egregious mistakes

Good good, late trade for him

 

[Paul Allen]

It appears I don’t get fantasy points for that. Boo you yahoo!

Just awful.

Terrible. Prayers to the family

Yup, standard operating procedure for Torts.

 

[TLEH]

Funny part about the Farabee play is that he pinched with support. They ended up having 4 guys back on the shot by Holtz and he just beat Hart clean.
