How about adding some context and comparisons.
There are lots of coaches who have/had similar numbers as this. Go back and do the same for other coaches.
You’d have to look at the teams he’s coached and look at what he was working with as a roster. Maybe they were young and rebuilding? Maybe they were past their prime? Where did they finish in the regular season… Were they even contenders? Not to mention, let’s assume Hynes is learning what it takes to win a Cup every season. Let’s also assume Bill Guerin definitely understands how to do it.
If he doesn’t think Hynes can get it done, he’ll fire him.
Barry Trotz coached 19 seasons before winning a Cup. Paul Maurice 24.
Winning a Cup is a process and a recipe. It takes time and good fortune (limited injuries, the opponent to make mistakes, for instance).
Further, the players need to learn how to win a cup as well. When we won the Cup in NJ, we lost the year before in the ECF in double OT. But we gained the experience and understanding to get it done the next season.
Maybe the Wild (and Hynes) are a year or two away. 🤷♂️
Da Beauty League is heartbroken by the loss of Jessi Pierce and her three children, Hudson, Cayden, and Avery.
Jessi spent many summers with us at Braemar and brought so much to our community. She will be deeply missed.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the Minnesota hockey community.
I wanna coach players that love being great TEAMMATES.
Great teammates go out of their way to sacrifice for others, going above and beyond for the benefit of the TEAM.
THOSE are the ones who turn contenders into CHAMPIONS!
