Wild let top line find its own mojo

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:49:23 GMT

When Wild coach Dean Evason and his staff discussed breaking up their top line, at least temporarily, it wasn’t because they didn’t believe Ryan Hartman, Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov weren’t working hard.Or, really, not having any success.The chief complaint was an old one: Too much superfluous passing in the offensive zone, and not enough help in the defensive zone. But the line had a combined 15 points in the team’s first five games and was creating chances, just not capitalizing on them the way Evason and his coaches knew they could.In 2021-22, the line combined for 105 goals and 252 points. Last season, despite Kaprizov missing a month and Hartman limited to 59 games, they combined for 77 goals and 179 points. So, the Wild weren’t about to rush into anything.“There’s a process of speaking individually, then talking to them as a group,” Evason said on Monday. “It isn’t just their line.”The patience paid immediate dividends on Tuesday, when Ryan Hartman scored a hat trick a...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:49:23 GMT

The Nuggets locker room looked like a high school science class 30 minutes after their season opener. The lab assignment was a dissection, but nobody could could seem to figure out how to extract the innards. Everyone was looking to their left or right, asking a classmate for help.Except even the teacher didn’t know what he was doing.While players studied their experiments, Michael Malone approached DeAndre Jordan’s corner of the room. The 52-year-old coach needed Jordan to spend a couple of minutes showing him all the bells and whistles of the Nuggets’ new object of intrigue: a tricked-out 2023 NBA championship ring.The headlining feature is a ring within the ring — a smaller, “less flashy” (to quote Jordan) yet still diamond-encrusted accessory that slides in and out of the comically large hunk of jewelry. Turns out in the modern NBA, it’s two rings to rule them all. But Malone couldn’t figure out the dissection, so Jordan gave him the tut...
