New coach picks up win in Wild debut

The Minnesota Wild were definitely a different team last night with their new coach John Torchetti behind the bench. Torchetti is a very vocal and active coach and he was doing everything he could to fire up his players and help then end their 8 game losing streak.

He even did something a little strange before the game. He grabbed the smelling salts. You will see players sometimes do that to get the jacked and wake them up, but for a coach to do it, it definitely gave us an idea of what was coming. Torchetti told the media when asked about the smelling salts that it is something he does to get him going, its his only superstition so he keeps doing it. If they help the Wild to go on a winning streak, then by all means, do what you have to do.

The Wild had 5 different scorers and after the game they talked about how John brought some new energy and life in the dressing room and behind the bench.

Congratulations on your first win with the Wild coach Torchetti, hopefully there are many more to come!
