GDT: Det. vs. Dal. (Stars CEO calls Benn&Seguin "F**king HorseSh*t"

[The Zetterberg Era]

And Lites would probably turn around and tell them to take their trade list and shove it. They make way too much to return a good package without taking on a cap dump or retaining salary, which I'm guessing is what this is all about. The ink is barely dry on Seguin's near-$10M per year deal and he's giving me a 65 point season when he has great linemates in a high-scoring season? Lites was surely hearing all about how important and elite Seguin was from his agent for the preceding months during negotiations and yet Seguin is mailing it in before the contract is even in effect?

I'll admit this is unconventional and could surely backfire on him but it also could've easily been an issue going on behind the scenes that has come to a head. And to be honest, I kind of appreciate hearing this. This organization paid heavily for these assets and they're getting a **** return on their investment without any major reason why. NHL brass typically tip toes around performance issues when it comes to star players and too much of that is enabling. I wouldn't mind if public criticism, where warranted, came from front offices more often.

Historically this ends poorly. I hope it isn't a tactic Wings leadership takes.

Yzerman wouldn't do this in my opinion.

There is a reason both Tampa and Toronto talked extensively about creating a safe environment. Holland speaks on the same. The Wings occasionally let Devellano go rogue for an interview or two (or they have just accepted it and have stopped reprimanding him) a year. But man I don't think this is a good look on the Stars at all. This is one of the reasons I want the Wings to push Devellano into full retirement.

Keep your **** in house or prepare to watch it burn. Time will tell and they are locked in to what they have but Benn talks to getting calls from all around the league. Basically hey man that is really ****** up that your owner just did that. Not good news. Keep that out of the next group in Detroit's leadership. Nill's time is running out down there.

So Abdelkader stays on Larkin's line, but Nyquist is switched with AA.

So much for that 12 game point streak... Yikes on that decision by Blash.

You are not suggesting that AA could take on the role of pushing the piano, are you?

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Love that intro Wings!

 

[cjm502]

I think Blash looks at Abdelkader as a Tom Wilson and thinks hes some phenomenal gritty support guy for his top 6, except Abdelkader plays like a marshmellow.

 

[TheMule93]

Jensen go back to the AHL where you belong

 

[Ezekial]

They was rough to watch from Jensen.

 

[Filppula]

"This will be our 30th icing of the game".

Haha, seems like it.

 

[Filppula]

Abdelkader is absolutely worthless.

 

[SoupGuru]

This is the least exciting game I've watched this decade

 

[TheMule93]

This is the least exciting game I've watched this decade

This is truly terrible

 

[Filppula]

Not sure I've seen a more boring 11 minutes in my life.

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Tad boring so far

Yeah, don't think it's a smart thing to do either. Just watched the Benn interview response to it; he basically said it he thinks this kinda stuff should be kept in the organization.

 

[Filppula]

I love Ehn, works so hard every single shift.

 

[SoupGuru]

I feel bad for the people that paid actual money to see this shit

 

[Ezekial]

Rasmussen is having a solid period.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Not much to say about this period... Both teams are having problems making pretty simple hockey plays. Rough stuff going on right now.

 

[Filppula]

Hronek and Cholo gonna be split up in the second no doubt.

 

[raymond23]

Hronek and Cholo gonna be split up in the second no doubt.

Not sure what the 3 forwards we're doing there. Was a 3 on 2 for no reason.

 

[raymond23]

Well these lines are going as expected. Thanks Blash.

 

[TheMule93]

f*** off and die abdelkader

 

[SoupGuru]

That's a penalty?

 

[Filppula]

My life would've been better without that period.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Woof this tailspin is starting to look pretty bad.
