    I Hate Jeff Blashill because ...

    Crawford is a circus act. I'd rather see someone like Ron Wilson if we're going names.

    WCQF : Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues

    Honestly if the Hawks win it might come down to having to root for Crosby and the Pens cause they're the only ones beating them. Or the Ducks.
  3. Of course different nights, but they shouldn't shy away from the same season. It'll mean more if the jersey is retired in the arena they played in.
  4. Looking at this thread now.., I'm sad. Sergei and Datsyuk should both have their numbers retired next year in the Joe's final season.

    I Hate Jeff Blashill because ...

    I don't hate him. I don't like him as our coach, but this team with a great coach wouldn't have gone further than round 2. He's an average coach who will only take the team as far as they are constructed to go. Our PP was absolute dogs***, but look at Boston that year they made the finals. That team was coached by the guy most will be clamoring for this offseason. At least he was smart enough to make the Glen - Abby - Sheahan line, and to put Mrazek in. Most of this season falls on the management and father time. Having Datsyuk, Z, and Kronwall all heavily decline in the same year is unfortunate. I think we're expecting a lot cause two of our three last coaches are two of the best all-time.

    Official 2016 Detroit Red Wings Offseason Thread

    AA - A- Datsyuk - B- Glenny - B Helm - B- Larkin - A Nyquist - C Brad Richards - C+ Riley Sheahan - C+ (picked it up) Abby - B Pulk - C- (Hard to rate but I'd rather see him take the place of one of Nyquist or Tatar next year. I believe he'd provide just as much offense or more as either of them while being no worse defensively than Tatar). Tatar - C Z - C (points for not missing a single game and logging heavy minutes, even if it was hard to watch. His TOI next season should be around 15 min next year) Jurco - C- DD - B+ Big E - D+ (I'll give him a plus for somehow keeping positive plus/minus all season and playoffs. I know the stat is pretty meaningless, I guess this confirms it). Mike Green - C+ (Picked it up but was pretty invisible for long stretches, I'm okay with his contract if he plays like he did the last 2 months of the season) Kronwall - C- (a minus 21 is pretty disgusting. I don't know how he ends up with a -21 and E ends up positive.). March - B- Quincey - B- Smith - B Jimmy - C (stepped it up, played his best to get us into the playoffs) Mrazek - B+ (elite level play besides that brutal stretch). Mantha - B- Anyone else? Andersson - plug rating Coaching staff - D whom ever decision it was to play the vets over the rookies - F team construction and minutes allocated - F season - C- Joe Sakic level wrist shots fired this year: 5, all from Datsyuk. Sammy level or worse wrist shots fired this year: 500+ Ericcson has to go (he won't, who would take him?). Quincey should not be resigned even though he did his role. Sign or bring up a new physical defensemen. One of the vanilla midgets has to go (Tatar and Nyquist). Two poor man's Kozlovs is one too many. Of course if Datsyuk is leaving I fully expect Kenny will panic about trading away any offense, even if that offense is completely invisible for long stretches. If any year is the year changes need to be made this is it.

    Fixing this mess....

    "Big E" is a garbage fire and has to go. I don't give a s*** about his wrist passes to the opposing goaltender anymore. His play in his own and and his costly penalties are not Red Wing hockey. They're barely NHL hockey.

    WCQF : Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars

    I gotta say I love the goal song and general music they play at Dallas' barn. Real hard rock and metal. Y'know, hockey music. I'd imagine the old folks aren't fans. It's probably easier to pull off that kind of stuff with newer fanbases than an O6. I like the singalogs at the Joe but I can do away with mid 2000s All American Rejects singles and other cheese.

    ECQF Game 3 GDT : Tampa Bay Lightning at Red Wings, 7:00 EST

    Here's a crazy idea.. Put AA on the power play. But why change things up when it's going so well?

    Can we forfeit all future power plays?

    Z has one goal in 27 games. 1.

    ECQF Game 2 Post-GDT: at Tampa Bay 5, Red Wings 2

    They're just another team that REALLY wants to be the Red Wings. Steve obviously isn't shy about how he builds the team (basically Wings with height and snipers, something we've wanted for 10+ seasons) but the rest of the franchise seems to have that Nashville-esque insecurity complex.

    I don't disagree. I consider it payback for all antics Hedman pulled tonight.

    There's some truth to Abby but he isn't dishing out anymore than we've been taking, until that last dogpile when he was pummeling that guy. Calling anyone else on our team dirty would be insulting to the history of hockey. I could list 6 or 7 players on Tampa on the dirty scale before I got around to the next Red Wing.

    At this point they're getting close to 07-12 Anaheim for me. Steve coming over to replace Holland would be extra sweet.

    Z, Nyquist, and Tatar were just as invisible too. I remember Nyquist having 2 points in 7 games.

    I don't feel too bad about it considering all the interference and sneaky scummy things TBA had been doing all night. Wait.. that's what they said about us..

    Nice to see them have a pulse at the end. Abby might get suspended but at least he got his moneys worth.

    Glenny the warrior. I'm not doubting he's in major pain but that puck was right in front of him just hit it to center. You know damn well Maltby would have.

    Green and Richards are our most skilled players. Successful free agency confirmed?

    Headman is sneaky dirty. His stick has been awfully low gravity tonight. Too bad there's no Probert to crush his face in.
