“We enjoy [wins],” Hynes said. “We celebrate them, for sure. But I think when you lose, it’s not getting too low and everything’s not lost. I think it’s our job to have that demeanor with the team, but it’s also our job to take the things out of the game that are going to help us improve from that one either way: Reinforce the good, but also I think it’s important to turn the page quick to prepare for the next team.”
