lordstanley Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Ned had had a couple of good games recently. On brighter note, in 15 minutes puck drops for Michigan vs Quinnipiac for a Frozen Four spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blashill is 'someone'. You want 'the' guy. Maybe Yzerman's rep is enough to bring him here even with the team still miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say give Blash no more than one more year to see if he can make something out of this team, with its influx of young talent (if no other high level coach would be willing to take us on yet, at this point in our rebuild...). But as with Buddha mentioning Igor... Yeah, if he wants it, IMO, the job is his... right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 they have more talent now than they did two years ago (in every area but goal, apparently) and the results are getting worse. 10 to toronto. 9 to arizona. 11 to pittsburgh. whatever blashill is selling isnt being bought. the only way i can see him staying if is yzerman has told blashill that he wants the wings to play a more open style of play, results be damned. if that's the case, then maybe he stays? seider and raymond have gotten better under blashill, larkin is having his best season. bert has played well. and perhaps yzerman thinks the talent on the team is so bad that it doesnt matter who the coach is? that said, i dont know how he survives this season end. they've been 100% embarassed routinely in the last month. not just beaten, but embarrassed.

Hongbit Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Playoff hockey teams are made more from the quality of their 2nd and 3rd pairing blueliners and offensive lines than the top line stars. That is the great differentiator these days. The Wings are still far behind but they have the right guy making personnel decisions and it shouldn’t take too much longer. He can get them back in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they? Guys like Kronwall, Mantha and Anathasiou and Glendening were limited but did provide some kind of talent floor. in Glendening's and Kronwalls cases esp there were getting old so they were getting worse but they still haven't been replace by players better than they were before they aged out. DeKeyser is terrible but he wasn't before he was hurt. You've get Sieder, Bert, Vrana, Larkin. The whole rest of the roster is still minor league unless the two new guys start to show something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think the roster is improving quickly and will so again before we start next season. The issue in my mind is what can Steve do about the coaching? A) Blash is losing the team so badly that he MUST be replaced? B) We are not yet at the stage where we can find a premium coach willing to take on this team and therefore, by default we are stuck with Blash for at least one more year? C) A premium coach IS interested in jumping to the Red Wings, this offseason, and therefore Steve is able to make the coaching change that he wants (whether that's Larionov or someone else... just saying...)? D) Steve actually believes that Blash is the right coach for this team, right now, and sticks with him. At least for one more year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
