Wild’s secret sauce during winning streak? Players working ‘twice as hard’

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:11:59 GMT

CALGARY, Alberta — The Wild have looked like a new team since John Hynes took over as head coach last Tuesday.Tight and listless during a seven-game losing streak that cost Dean Evason his job, the team is loose, skating and scoring in three straight wins under Hynes, outscoring opponents by a combined 13-3 in the Wild’s first three-game winning streak of the season.Minnesota brings that streak, and the confidence that comes with it, into a big, four-game road trip that begins Tuesday night in Calgary with an 8 p.m. CST puck drop at the Saddledome.“It’s been a good week,” Hynes said after Minnesota’s 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday at Xcel Energy Center.Reporters have been trying to pry the secret sauce out of Hynes and players since the Wild beat St. Louis, 3-1, in his Minnesota debut, and certainly an emphasis on closing gaps defensively in the neutral zone has worked to reduce the team’s time in its own zone and kickstart rushes the other way.Hynes also has emph...

Thomas Friedman: This is the 9/11 lesson Israel needs to learn

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:11:59 GMT

As Israel debates what to do next in the Gaza Strip, I hope Israel’s political-military leadership will reflect on the adage often attributed to Confucius: “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves” — one for your enemy and one for yourself.Wise man, Confucius.The reason I was so wary about Israel invading Gaza with the aim of totally eliminating Hamas was certainly not out of any sympathy for Hamas, which has been a curse on the Palestinian people even more than on Israel. It was out of a deep concern that Israel was acting out of blind rage, aiming at an unattainable goal — wiping Hamas from the face of the earth, as one of its ministers advocated — and with no plan for the morning after.In doing so Israel could get stuck in Gaza forever, owning all its pathologies and having to govern its more than 2 million people amid a humanitarian crisis, and even worse, discrediting the very army that it was trying to restore Israelis’ trust in.Quite honestly, I thought back...

Timberwolves’ clutch-time offense is vastly improved this season. You can thank Mike Conley for that

Mike Conley and Chris Finch have both previously described a strong working relationship. Such a dynamic between point guard and coach is invaluable for a basketball team.Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley dribbles down the court during the second half of Game 3 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets, Friday, April 21, 2023, in Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Abbie Parr)It’s especially important in winning time, when a possession here or there — and the decisions about what to do with it — can change a win to a loss, and vice versa.Sometimes, in those moments, Conley said he will lean on Finch for play calls or directions. But there are other times when Finch will look at the 36-year-old veteran and ask, “What do you got?”“And I’ll go out there and run something,” Conley said.Saturday’s win in Charlotte, in which Minnesota turned a four-point deficit with fewer than five minutes to play into a six-point victory, wa...

Low river levels cause problems for Missouri farmers transporting harvested goods

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:11:59 GMT

OSAGE BEACH, Mo. – Even with the recent rainfall, more than 85% of Missouri is still mired in a drought, forcing farmers to switch to other alternatives due to low water levels.Governor Mike Parson said he's hoping for large snowfalls in the northern states to help with navigation on the rivers. The agriculture industry uses the waterways to ship bulk commodities like grain. Southeast Missouri farmer Tom Jennings said his irrigation system saved his crops this year."We have historically sold almost everything over the river," Jennings said. "Sometimes you can skip an irrigation, but there wasn't any skipping of them this year. We' were watering it all the time."Jennings said the ability to apply controlled amounts of water to the dry land led to a successful corn and rice crop, but now, he needs to transport his yield."We've got rice sold that we're delivering right now, and it was supposed to be delivered to a river port, but they switched it to an in-land facility because they can...
