blashill talking about how much better they are with Maatha. I mean are they?

how does he have a job still?
He's one of the biggest busts of a head coach in a very long time.

I remember some of our fans wanted Shero to hire him if we missed out on Babcock.

I'm pretty sure there was a post like ''If we can't hire Babcock, we need to hurry up and swoop in on Blashill before the Red Wings just promote him to take over for Babcock''.

Then we ended up hiring Hynes a week later.

1. It sucks that AA got free for a wicked wrister spoiling Blackwood's streak.
2. Sal called in at the end of the second. The Red Wings needs just a nudge--a sniff of doubt and they would fold.

Pretty sure that's a shot of Dylan Larkin, actually.

He definitely does.

Blashill is 150-186-51 in 387 games coached in the NHL. That's including this game, which is already undoubtedly in the books.

Hynes is 157-166-45 in 368 games coached in the NHL.

Both have made the playoffs once, both only have 1 playoff win and both went out to Tampa Bay in the first round in 5 games. Only Blashill did it in his first year as a head coach in the NHL and never did it again.

Yzerman must go to bed at night wondering why he took this job.
This team seems harder to fix than ours did after Lou, but they do have a few more younger players that seem to be pretty promising than we did at the time.

I gotta figure they'll be in their mid to late 20's before they're really competitive though.

Severson is pushing 25 minutes right now
He's been VERY solid as of late.

Although, it helps take away his blemishes when you actually have a goalie that's stopping shots when he's on the ice.

If Domingue or Schneider were in net more often, I'm sure he'd still catch lots of heat.
