Management Per Russo: John Hynes to replace Evason

[Terrier]

I like his insistence that all five guys on the ice work as a unit in all zones.

I also like his Faber dependency. He doesn't owe any favors to any of these players, and plays the best guys most.

Did your opinion on Hynes change after last game vs Preds, when he pulled MAF in OT?

Yes. Not so much in that I think he's a good coach, but that I have a new respect for his aptitude for craziness. I love a coach who will try something nuts now and then.
