GDT: Kings @ Wings | 7:30PM | FSD

[WingedWheel1987]

Let's just say we lose 3 or 4 more in a row, and this losing streak reaches 8+, is coach Jeffrey in jeopardy of losing his job yet? I'm afraid I think Blash is here for the whole year, regardless of how bad we play.

I just want changes. I'm sick of this. Watching hockey is supposed to be fun. Watching this team is not fun in any way right now.

You are right. Blash isn't going anywhere. There isn't any point in a coaching change when your roster isn't a playoff team.

Well that was ugly.
Somehow the Wings are still in third in this ****hole division.

3 games at hand on two teams only 3 points behind.

Montreal beats us twice and they're smooth sailing ahead of us. Might be difficult for them though, we play them on the second leg of a back to back in the first game and their 3rd game in 4 days in the second.

We don’t beat anyone on their back to backs Montreal will sweep the 2 games

 

[Heaton]

Can't be too mad about this game, thought the Wings played decently, but the Kings are the far superior defensive team.

 

[WingedWheel1987]

The Wings blue line just drags down the rest of the roster. Only one defenseman with 10 or more points. Arizona has three lol...

 

[jkutswings]

A 5th loss in a row, and Green scores to help his trade value. A very rebuild-friendly game indeed.

 

[Dotter]

Firing Blashill won't fix the problem. That's like firing a car salesman because a car has a recall.

Good, unless Larkin and Mantha catch fire again this team is going to be where it should be, slotted in in second or third to last in the division.

Only question that is really relevant is whether Holland will be back next season. He's the one pushing the current direction. If Holland signs a new deal the future is bleak. You have to keep in mind Babcock was coaching this team to first round exits when it's core was younger. That pretty much tells you what the ceiling was and how things will continue to trend.

And with the way the standings look right now they have better odds at drafting Dahlin.

Huh? How was Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Kronwall and Zetterberg younger than Mantha, Larkin, Green?

 

[theYman]

I mean I understand we're gonna need to suck for awhile. But at least make it an exciting "suck." This kind of play tonight and the last few games are just boring as f***!

 

[Martinez]

Firing Blashill won't fix the problem. That's like firing a car salesman because a car has a recall.

At this point I don't even care if he stays for another year. Switching coaches a bunch doesn't help develop young players. If we were to hire a new guy he will be stuck with a poop roster for at least a few seasons.

As for Holland, thank you for your great work with the organization, cya

I'll wait another draft before I decide on tyler wright. He says we will draft skill in 2018, let's see it bro

 

[HIFE]

Huh? How was Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Kronwall and Zetterberg younger than Mantha, Larkin, Green?

Kronwall and Z are still the captains of the Wings. Nyquist, Tatar, Ericsson, Abdelkader, Helm, etc were younger and better for it. You said yourself Mantha isn't a core piece. Larkin isn't in the position to lead this team to the playoffs so core or not is irrelevant. Mike Green only signed for 3 seasons, he was never intended to be a long-term fixture.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Huh? How was Datsyuk, Lidstrom, Kronwall and Zetterberg younger than Mantha, Larkin, Green?

Datsyuk, Lidstrom and Zetterberg are all hall of famers who were still playing in the NHL back then. Worse coaching + less talent + GM happy with status quo does not make for a very good trajectory.

 

[SoupGuru]

Glendening looked really good tonight.... so there's that

 

[Lampedampe]

Seems like the wings got a flat tire after that loss against Edmonton. A few injuries away from the tires falling off completely.. Well, maybe we can get lucky with a lottery pick after all.

 

[Reddwit]

Considering the games in hand a lot of other teams have, and how close we all are in points, it’s actually feasible to drop down to 2nd worst in the conference in a couple weeks.

I feel like the only points anyone outside Green gets are accidental secondary assists

 

[Go Wings]

Glendening looked really good tonight.... so there's that

He is one of the few players that have played consistantly well this year.

 

[Flowah]

I just noticed AA and Mantha's numbers out there. Wasn't sure they were playing tonight. Guess they are?

What a couple of bums.

The GM who assembled the team with these two as the "future" should be fired.

 

[raymond23]

The forwards just asked to do so much that its impossible to consistently produce. I have a hard time blaming them when the defense is incapable of anything positive with the puck besides Green.

I agree...with the caveat that the intentions of ownership need to be clarified.

I'm 100% on board with shipping Holland out, but if "the new Ilitch approach" is then to continue coasting in safe waters, with a new token GM as a yes man to more of the same, then nothing really gets fixed.

I don't expect the kids to ever throw caution to the wind quite like Mike sometimes did, but a LITTLE more aggressiveness than we've seen the last few years would be much appreciated.

 

[TheMule93]

maybe we should borrow eichel real quick to get our coach & gm fired
