What's the reasoning behind this thread, exactly?
1) Trajectory of the team
2) Coaches like Babs lose their team over time, which explains the trajectory, to a certain level
3) Blame Holland, sure. But it's Babcock's decision to play Lashoff on the top pairing that cost us all those points. It's Babcock's decision to put Abdelkader (1 point in 36 games) on Datsyuk's line -- essentially neutralizing your best offensive talent.
4) Tomas Tatar is showing more offensive skill than anyone not named Datsyuk Brunner or Zetterberg, yet he sits in OT for the second straight game -- while Cleary and Andersson?? took shifts.
5) Tomas Tatar getting almost no playing time in general.
6) Or most effective physical forward, Jordin Tootoo, receives much less information than he deserves (and than one would expect from a forward making $1.9M a year)
