11/6 Keep the Faith GDT - Canucks @ Red Wings - 7:30 PM ET
F.Michael replied to Dabura's topic in General
Not sure if I buy the idea that he didn't play the kids enough...I don't recall hearing this several years ago when most of the Hawks were just kids...Maybe - just maybe the kids on the Hawks today aren't very good so Coach Q relied on the guys (those who are still there) who helped win 3 Cups. -

Indeed. If he can stay healthy, and keep up this level of play I'm certain a few teams will inquire about his services...Might even be sooner than later when looking at teams like Philly, and St.Louis. -

Chances are Coach Q would've done the same..... -

Larkin is getting knocked on his butt a lot tonight. -

Same here...Seems like a better picture quality. -

Watching the warm up...That Pettersson kid looks like he weighs as much as my left buttcheek. -

I’ll start by saying thank you for taking the reins of the GDT! That said - I giggle every time when thinking about Flashy’s GDT ‘Inglorious Babcocks’. -

I’ll ask him, and get back to you in a bit... -

Must you question the mighty Blash? -

George Peterson? -
Do you think the current roster of Wings players is aware of who Coach Q is, and what he's accomplished? I know it's a dumb question, but my point being is that I'm certain having a guy with his experience would most likely have an affect (or is it effect) on the players - a positive one, and IMHO that's what this franchise can use. To me it would be like asking why hire Yzerman when we have Holland?
-
So - how often are quality coaches available?
-
Try to win. Losing/tanking can breed a bad culture within the Red Wings organization. I understand we need to be bad for a few years in order to possibly obtain hi-end talent, but then again look at teams like the Oilers, Isles, Sabres, Yotes, and a few others...They've been bad for years, and chances are (regardless of their recent play) they may very well not make the playoffs again. As I mentioned in another post - I don't expect Coach Q to make this team a playoff contender - I expect him to make this team look somewhat competent, and a legit NHL franchise.
-
Most opposing fans out there envy our mediocrity that we had with Babs...And the scary thought is - when will this team get good? We might be bad for years to come - especially if Blashill is still behind the bench...
-
Why not fire Blashill? Is there some unwritten rule out there that I'm not familiar with that a owner/GM cannot drop kick a guy for any little reason {cough}Gallant{cough}. I'm not trying to be an @ss here - just saying that when there's a better option - why not take it?
-
Do you want to lose 7 to 1, and appear clueless, OR lose 4 to 2, but appear competitive? That'll most likely be the difference between Blashill, and Coach Q.
-
Or we'll keep complaining how Blashill is clueless, and why guys like Abdelkader/Helm/etc are getting more minutes than AA/Mantha/Ras/etc, and how poorly the team is playing... I get it - we need to be bad to be good - but when the Wings look lost most nights...
-
Didn't the Kings 'hire' a guy already? As far as developing kids...I dunno - some nights the team looks clueless out there....The AHL Toronto Marlies would probably win the best of 7 series against the Wings right now.
-
Sens players caught knocking coaches, laughing about team...

They probably didn't know there was a camera. I think it's amusing...What's next on the list of how f-ed up Ottawa really is?..Maybe the sound guy at the next home game has a few barley pops, and accidentally plays Deutschland über alles instead of the regular anthems? -
I get what you're saying, but why not hire a guy who's good at his job? This right here
-
Chances are neither Chris Ilitch, nor Holland have the balls to hire Coach Q at this point in time...I'm certain he'll be with another team within a few days.
-
Took me a while to come up with sumthin (I'm a bit slow eh?)... Now - if the respective players were to waive their NTC - how about we take Marleau off the Leafs hands (that way they'd free up extra $$$ for their RFA's), AND their 1st round pick in either 2019, or 2020 for someone like Nyquist, Glendenning, Abdelkader, Nielsen, etc, BUT we also take on most of their $$$ of the contract of the Red Wing/s going to Toronto. That way the Leafs unload Marleau, and possibly get a player in return along with more cap space relief...The way I see it - the more cap space relief they get - the more draft picks (or prospects) we get...This could take place anytime from now until the 2019 draft weekend...I figure we could land a 1st round pick, and possibly a combo of a few 2nd, or 3rd round picks. Another would be (if we're lucky if he stays healthy) is to move Howard, and eat his salary thus increasing our chances of getting a 1st round pick in return.
