Mike Yeo: Tough enough.

The Minnesota Wild will name Mike Yeo as their new head coach today, and since we know he's got a tough road ahead to whip the Wild into shape, we thought we'd see just how tough he's been in the past.

Mike Yeo vs. Kevin MacDonald of the Chicago Wolves, 1994:

Mike Yeo and Kevin Malgunas vs Mark Desantis and Barry Dreger of the San Diego Gulls, 1995:

Mike Yeo vs. Alex Nikolic of the Ft. Wayne Komets, 1995:

Mike Yeo vs. Jeff Buchanan of the Indianapolis Ice, 1995:
