Mike Yeo Changing Minnesota Wild

Former Penguins assistant coach Mike Yeo is currently the head coach of the NHL's Minnesota Wild. Minnesota has been stagnant for the last 5 years, not making the playoffs and playing a boring style of hockey with no superstars. In the 37 year olds first season as bench boss, his team is currently 1st in the western conference with 28 points. It is amazing what a change of philosophy can do for a hockey team, as nobody expected the Wild to be this successful this early, not even Yeo. Mike Yeo is a good guy, and a great hockey mind (both of which i can confirm from meeting him a few years back). It is good to see him reap the benefits of his team trusting in his system and working hard for him. Go Wild.
