I watched the game last night.So with the Wild in a spiral like none we've seen for years, how long until Mike Yeo is given the boot? 11 losses in the last 13 games and 7 wins in the last 23 games.
Now you can't put all the blame on Yeo, especially for the garbage goaltending we've been getting, but at some point a change has to be made and it's usually the coach that gets the blame. Our veteran players have been lazy and under performing while the young players not named Zucker aren't progressing. Whether that's coaching or not I don't know and at this point in the season will a coaching change even matter? It's probably too late for the Wild to make the playoffs at this point and many Wild fans would rather just see us get a nice draft pick then try to make the playoffs, only to fail and ruin our draft position like we've done in so many years past.
Yeo needs to go but this team is flawed.
Backstrom wasn't the problem either.
The Wild have an unbalanced team.
IMO Fletcher and his entire scouting staff should be the first to leave.
Chicago outworked Minnesota and showed much more speed and skill.
Blum was awful but other than Suter (and even him looking lost at times)and Spurgeon no one plays D.
Brodin is so overrated.
Then there's the forwards.
Pominvilles reputation as a two way forward in Buffalo seems to be lost in translation.
Guy is non chalant and lacksadaisical at best.
Sometimes he's lazier than Vanek.
I also watched Nino.
Like his aggressiveness on offense but you can see why he's -17 or something like that.
Stays in front of the net all day and watches the play happen.
No way will he ever get the chance to catch up on the play especially against faster teams.
Frustrating because he has all the speed and physical skill to be a two way guy but its almost as if the coaches tell me don't worry about Defense at all.
Its OK to have a couple but two many soft players is bad.
Minnesota needs to trade some young scorers for physical defense and two way forwards who look for defense first.
A good goalie will help but hesc gonna face a ton of shots.
