  • Good podcast, but…

    Thanks for the podcast.

    One request on behalf of subscribers abroad: Could you please not include the score in the titles of post game episodes? It’s a spoiler for us listeners who watch games later.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Hynes previews Wild vs Bruins
Q: What did you like about Bobby Brink's training camp and his first game performance?
Brink arrived with a businesslike, fast, and tenacious approach; he showed improved defensive responsibility in camp, demonstrated strong penalty-kill presence, and translated that into good first-game execution with consistent personal identity and offensive tenacity.
John Hynes previews Wild vs Bruins
Q: What did you see and what did you like about what they could build off from what they did the other night in the penalty kill?
The coach highlighted solid structure with some readable misreads on the first penalty kill, emphasized good tactical execution overall, noted some failed clears that need to be tightened, and stressed the need for game management and puck control to prevent self-inflicted wounds while maintaining strong structure.
Stars 2, Wild 0 - Full Postgame @KFAN1003
Q: Did anyone stand out to you? Anyone in particular?
Ben Dexheimer stood out as the Wild's best defensive player on the night, while the team overall showed moments of solid defense and goaltending with room to improve in scoring and transition.
Meet Wild Prospect Riger Lorenz
Q: What are the biggest differences you've noticed between college hockey and the pro game so far?
The pace is faster and players are more skilled in the pro ranks, requiring me to be more head-on-a-swivel and to manage the pace of play better, while college prepared me with a strong foundation and resilience.
John Hynes on Contract Extension
Q: How do you balance, John, the pride you probably feel and what you've accomplished so far, but then with the goals that you still have, like results in playoffs and the Stanley Cup, and what you've implemented philosophically that you still want to accomplish?
Hynes emphasizes continual improvement each year, focusing on personal growth as a coach, and planning with the staff to push the group to a new level while maintaining the core environment that has made the team successful.
