You should count your blessings to have such a quality coach with the attention to details.
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. 🤷♂️
