Bill Guerin, General Manager of the Minnesota Wild, visibly upset with the team's poor performance since the season's start, despite previous successes, called for a meeting with the players and coaching staff. This session occurred before the team's participation in the NHL's Global Series in Sweden, as reported by The Athletic.
"Was it a scream-fest? Bit of both. The one thing about Billy, when he talks, everyone respects the s— out of him. That guy talks, you're gonna really, really listen." - Marcus Foligno
"It was kind of a kick in the ass, figure our s— out kind of meeting. Something we definitely needed." - Ryan Hartman.
Despite Guerin's meeting, the Wild didn't see immediate improvement, losing both games in Sweden. While there's no immediate concern for coach Bill Evason's position, the poor results could lead to significant changes within the team.
