The New York Rangers come into tonight against the Minnesota Wild in Madison Square Garden. The two teams will have duelling coaches who share duties on Team USA. Mike Sullivan, and John Hynes know each other's style well, which should prove to make an exceptional match.
John Hynes of the Minnesota Wild knows Mike Sullivan's style so well, it appears that he knows what the Rangers are capable of.
The Rangers at this point in the season are 3-3-1 in the regular season, and are 0-3-0 at home.
A stark contrast to which Hynes has said about the team, which he talked about them as a "dangerous" team.
Which may prove to be true, considering they have elite goaltender Igor Shesterkin, and forwards like Artemi Panarin, JT Miller, and defenseman Adam Fox in the lineup.
Fox has proven to be one of the team's best producers this season, wth 6 points (3-3), while Artemi Panarin leads the team in assists with 5.
This is is what we should expect from the team according to Hynes:
The New York Rangers Are A "Process" Team
According to Hynes:
I know Mike's a process guy. I think they've had scoring chances, they've had looks. I think they're a dangerous offensive team.»
Sullivan is a process guy, which means when they run a play they stick to making it happen to create offense.
An article on process-based hockey expands on the thought process which we hear from defenseman Colin Miller about the playstyle.
MILLER: «When we play the right way, you see the results. If we play within our system, I think we're going to have a good chance every night. It's fun hockey right now.»
What matters most for Sullivan is depending on his players to execute the right way every night in order to win the game. The Rangers will have to execute their processes right in order to control the ice, and give themselves the best chance to win.
Can Sullivan's style of coaching break their 0-3-0 slump at home?
