After two more losses, especially a listless Sunday performance vs Detroit, Dean Evason was let go as coach of the Minnesota Wild, and replaced by former New Jersey and Nashville head coach John Hynes. Did Evason get a raw deal? Is Hynes the answer for a roster that is cap strapped, and overly committed to veterans?

The Minnesota Wild season is underway, and things have been all over the place. One day the Wild look like world beaters, the next day, they're beaten, literally. Marco Rossi is finally on the scoreboard, with two goals so far, and looks like he belongs! We hear from @CreaseAndAssist @KalishaTownsell X: @bravethewild: Tag #btwmn and comment away!

Another NHL season is upon us, as the Minnesota Wild try to take that next step, while bringing most of the band back. Will Marco Rossi become a legitimate top six forward/center? Will Brock Faber continue where he left off last spring? Are the extensions to veteran players the right move? We talk about all this, and get your opinions as well!

Clearly the Minnesota Wild brass sees the desperate need for centers to fill the gap in this organization, and with the first three picks, the Wild took two large centers, and the smaller skilled Riley Heidt. The Wild also made depth moves in free agency, as we still await potential arbitration from the likes of Filip Gustavsson, Brandon Duhaime and Calen Addison.

Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin was a bit testy in a season ending press conference, particularly when asked by Michael Russo if Guerin thought this season was a failure. Overall, a lot of interesting things were said from players, and more news that came out during the course of this past week.

The Minnesota Wild looked so promising after game three last Friday, but ever since, it's been nothing be one disappointment after another. Blowing golden opportunities in game four, despite some bad calls, to flat out no showing in game five.

The Minnesota Wild opened up the playoffs with Filip Gustavsson in net, and played a complete game, with a double overtime victory in game one. Coach Evason and Co. decided to go into game two with Marc Andre Fluery, and from the get go, things just weren't the same, along with Dallas being more focused than ever.

The Minnesota Wild had a couple of frustrating losses to the Vegas Golden Knights this past week, luckily getting a point in the second game, and officially clinching another playoff berth.

The month of March has definitely been the month of Matt Boldy, with 12 goals and 17 total points, along with two hattricks. The Gus Bus is rolling again, along with general strong play from Marc Andre Fleury. Is this team ready for a playoff run?

The Minnesota Wild wound up with a total of five out of six possible points this past week, including a franchise record 14 game point streak! Ryan Hartman has certainly picked up his game of late, especially this past week, along with Matt Boldy, who is essential for the Wild hopes with Kaprizov out. The refs ended up denying the fans seeing a rare goalie fight in St. Louis between Fleury and Binnington, as drama was mounting during a crazy 8-5 Wild win! We hear from @CreaseAndAssist...

The Minnesota Wild earned seven out of eight possible points this past week, thanks to great goaltending, strong penalty kill, and over all great team defense. Unfortunately, generally speaking, the Wild continue to struggle scoring goals, though did show encouraging signs in Calgary with three five on five goals, and four overall versus struggling Winnipeg. Your host catches up with the trades, including Jordan Greenway, along with acquiring John Klingberg. Kirill Kaprizov's injury is now a...

The past few weeks, clearly two players have stood out from all the rest, no surprise Kirill Kaprizov is one of them, as he's been just about the only player scoring. In the meantime, one goalie has kept the Wild in every game, if not flat out being the hero down the stretch, without a doubt, that's Filip Gustavsson, who also is no longer a surprise.

The Minnesota Wild have now won four games in a row, making many a fan to ask for a significan trade involving a top six forward, but is that wise with the current make up of this team? Ryan Hartman has been a different player of late, factoring in the scoring in five games in a row!

The Minnesota Wild continue to struggle to score five on five, and are tired of talking about it, so I am as well. Today we'll get to the Marat Khusnutdinov conversation that I wanted to last week, as well as the on going conversation that Filip Gustavsson deserves to be the number one goaltender.

The Minnesota Wild need to do what the Timberwolves just did, and make a trade, even if it's addition by subtraction, and we can easily name at least three players that fit this bill, if not more.

As the Minnesota Wild head into break, and inching closer to the trade deadline, it looks less and less that the Wild would even consider trading for a goalie, which is a far cry from where we were at the start of the season. Is Marco Rossi going to be a top six forward in the NHL, or should we cut bait while we can?

The Minnesota Wild have been all about three's lately, losing three in a row, winning three in a row, and now losing three in a row again. The five on five play has become a major discussion, along with the poor play of Ryan Hartman and the invisible Jordan Greenway, along with Matt Dumba becoming a healthy scratch for two games.
