Sadly The only chance we have of coming back in this series is if mrazek starts game 3 and plays a hell of a game and negates all of Blashill's stupidity If I see Howard I'm still gonna watch the game and hope we win but in my heart I'm gonna know it's pretty much 90% game over before the pucks even been dropped

I just bitched about this on another topic .... Blashill is a f***en idiot wtf does Johnson and kucherov being elite in the ahl have to do with athanasiou? He's been one of our best players period give him ice time and let him fly and learn f***en douchebag Blashill Hey you know what Tatar was good but he wasn't elite in the ahl , neither was sheahan Stfu and do your job and do what's best to help this team win

God Blashill is turning out to be such a f***en idiot , just watched videos on mlive on his reading for not playing athanasiou a lot and just the fact he says double A like 10 times for some reason bugged me lol Went off about how kucherov and Johnson were elite stars in the American hockey league and Athanasiou wasn't .... Which I don't understand wtf that has to do with him getting more ice time Double a wasn't elite in the American hockey league which is why we're slowly giving him minutes .... Double a wasn't elite So we're slowly giving him minutes at the end of games with hank and pav At the end when it's too late? Oh and he mentions something about how athanasiou isn't a saviour .... Which nobody f***en says he is , and who gives a s*** if he wasn't an elite ahl player he's playing well here and we got a dozen guys who can't f***en score a goal Get a f***en clue and double his ice time ... f***en Blashill man And he also went off some stupidity about how we don't need mantha cause we got sheahan as a net presence and just went off about how Tampa is blocking all the shots and we need to figure out how to get shots to the net Isn't that your job to figure it out? What a mistake he's turning out to be ...

The problem is Tampa has a lot of big players and Ericsson is our only big guy ...we had mantha who could of been parked in front of bishop but we didn't like having a big guy apparently We mostly been saying mrazek should of started game 1 , he can steal a series and Howard can't , he just doesn't have the "it" factor We been saying athanasiou needs to play a lot more minutes than 5-7 a night ... Does Blashill listen? Nope Don't think anyone is really surprised were down 2-0 ..., either Blashill is ridiculously clueless, or cooper has some secret pictures of him As for some saying abdelkader should be on the 4th I disagree , he's the only one it seems that has some fight and guts and crashes the net , should be in our top 6 I just clearly think datsyuk and zetterberg would benefit being split up and playing with some kids I'd even consider sitting tatar and/or nyquist and they are really pissing me off but ain't doing nothing , I'd love to see mantha back but it looks like sadly that ship has sailed .... Take out ******* Andersson and put in jurco Athanasiou datsyuk Larkin Abdelkader sheahan Tatar Nyquist zetterberg jurco Helm glendening Richards Enough of this helm and Richards top 6 nonsense , give jurco some linemates and a chance to produce rather than check people ... Helm glendening Richards should check the Johnson line , not sure about Richards but have him stay back around the middle ... Time to trust the youth to get the goals Had zetterberg and sheahan swapped but maybe hank playing 3rd line and less minutes will benefit him and the team , he'd also be playing against other teams lesser pairs ... Larkin and AA together could create some 2 on 1s ... Enough of playing it safe

Those tweets are idiotic ... Let's take out the only physical player we have that throw hits ... And who cares about the penalties at the end , game was over And on one of the tweets he says mantha should replace abdelkader ... Seriously? Lmao .... He'd keep Andersson over abdelkader? It be also nice if we could score on the powerplay and if Blashill wasn't a wuss coach

Blashill needs to stop thinking

I would even consider benching nyquist and put in jurco even though he hasn't played in along time ... He needs a massive wake up call ... And a few wedgies in the locker room

Most of us said it mrazek is the goalie of the 2 that could steal a series and should of started game 1 Been saying it for years Howard will never be a winner , he doesn't the "it" factor Mantha and his 6'5 frame should be screening bishop (who's just as big )on the powerplay Was hopeful when Blashill came on as wings coach but right now he could take a hike for all I care and never come back , guy is so safe it's ridiculous , he has no balls and rely's on his vets too much I'd also bench nyquist and maybe even Tatar cause there both just pissing me off , nowhere near as good as they should be ... Trade them both in the off season for some defense and grit , it's embaressing that abdelkader is the only grit on this team

Sadly that is very accurate Should be putting athanasiou/mantha top 6 .... Andersson takes a hike and helm would be perfect on a 4th line with glendening and shadow Tampa's top line when possible and kill penalties

Anyone heard anything on lundqvist's injury?

He got that much i believe cause they didn't go through the bridge deal teams usually do .... I think a similar deal for dekeyser would be fair , Morgan reilly will be better than dekeyser and probably be putting up 40-55 pts at least I'd even throw dekeyser another year to his contract since we don't have much on the back end

What did Anderson bring to the table yesterday? Nothing SoNobody is saying mantha is gonna save the wings but nobody seems to be scoring , where's zetterberg datsyuk Larkin nyquist Tatar been ?? Don't know the stats but I'm pretty sure the last 15-20 games the numbers wouldn't look so nice Just doesn't make any sense to take away a player who can shoot the puck and is a big body who can park himself in front of the net in front of a goalie who's just as big if not bigger Anyways it doesn't matter now , we had every opportunity to take that game but couldn't score and take advantage .... Only hope I have in the wings winning is if mrazek comes back in and steals the show ... I got zero confidence in Howard ever stealing a series

Why can't Anderson retrieve the puck? Is the oh great only limited to faceoffs? Can he only play 5 minutes of hockey or less or his greatness will be tarnished ? Haa look who's ******* talking ... Your Andersson jokes are over kill already

Sorry to be the messenger and hurt your massive ego but your far from the expert , where was this Andersson love before he got called up? Did you pick him up in a bar last weekend ? What has brad Richards done on the ppl? Or anyone else for that matter ? Let's not play games , he's just being s*** on cause he's the kid and the easy target Loads of players have went on long streaks this season without a goal Hey Let's blame mantha You know who doesn't belong on the 4th line? Athanasiou ... But hey he's a kid I'm starting to think we're dealing with holland's family members here ... Well and the obvious boy crush on Anderson over here Can anyone call up ken holland and put this moron on the team and give him powerplay time ? It be nice to see him rammed into the boards ... It be worth the 5 minute penalty kill and multiple goals we'd be letting in Problem is Tatar and nyquist along with multiple offensive players we have , have proven they can go on very long stretches without scoring goals ... And athanasiou on a 4th , that makes no sense

For Christ sakes Nobody every said Martha would be the savior , fact is he's a talented kid that can shoot the puck and is a if body in front of the net that can help our powerplay , how's taking him away gonna help a team that's had problems scoring all season long? Athanasiou had also shown a lot of promise and skill and he's on a 4th line barely playing instead of getting significantly more playing time Andersson brings the same to the team like a glendening can,helm and others Lets just say it like it is our coach is a chicken s*** and would rather play it safe with the veterans than playing younger kids ... Don't come here and complain when we're scoring 1 goal a game Andersson is a hardened warrior ... Let's hope so he's gonna need it if he's gonna be a career ahler

What happens if we win game 1 and lose 4 in a row after ? You were right and we were wrong ? Who the f*** made you the expert And where was all this Andersson love when he was here last year ? You got more of a chance of getting cross checked into the boards and never being heard of again than getting a single power play point

Helm is a great 2 way player but in no way should helm be in a top 6 role ... Mantha who can skate,shoot and get to the front of the net on the powerplay with his big body should be here playing and gaining some playoff experience Athanasiou who scored that big short handed goal against flyers to make it 2-0 and might be one of the big reasons we ended up winning that game and making the playoffs thanks to those 2 points ....is on a 4th line with glendening and Anderson playing what 5-6 minutes? Is this a f***en joke? Datsyuk announces he's likely leaving so play it safe Blashill decides to stick them back together so they could have a goodbye tour and stick Larkin on a 3rd line with datsyuk's leftovers? Nyquist and tatar's goal productions decreased jurco and pulkkinen isn't playing , mantha sent down and athanasiou is in the gutters .... Blashill was suppose to be this guy that came in that was gonna help bring up the kids but seems like he's just s***ting on them and keeping them down and playing veterans on top 6 role and calling up the new Dan clearly from Grand Rapids to play over mantha Yet when the playoffs start and we wont score goals were suppose to be shocked? Unless mrazek/Howard steals the show this won't be pretty to watch

this redwings roster is loaded with fourth line players as it is

A friend of mine told me Chris Nilan was saying in the radio how pavel datsyuk said he would want to play with mantha , anyone hear anything about this ??

Can't get much worse than it is now , ouellet isn't spectacular but he's safe and can move the puck , think he'll help the team .... I personally believe one of Tatar/nyquist will be dealt to land a defensemen which should help us better Personally not willing to handcuff ourselves with Quincey at 5 million for 4-5 years , sooner or later we have to play some of our prospects , it's very unfortunate that it always happens when we're forced to play them rather than giving them chances

we might not have the next mcdavid but we have a ton of promising forwards but the back end is troubling , I'd personally want to go 3-4 rounds with d's and then go for some Anderson home run selections last few picks I'd be more than willing to trade back a few times if possible and if possible get 3-4 2nd rounders and draft d's and hope we land one stud dman , God knows a lot of good 2nd round defensemen have been drafted in recent history

That's mind boggling but then after benching and giving kids no minutes now go ease them in and learn next year we will be riding these kids and expecting them to produce which is bulls*** Next year could very well be chaos in Detroit unless mrazek steals the show

He's gonna keep waiting along time for draft picks to emerge into stars if he keeps sending the kids down to Grand Rapids and plays the ones he has up 5-6 minutes a game

I guess some people forget that we have plenty of guys this year that went scoreless over a stretch of 10-15 games But hey lets s*** on the talented kid and let the veterans off the hook cause it's the redwing way

You could say the same about athanasiou , he's got 9 goals in limited ice time but hasn't taken the league by storm The whole point of this is the wings would have a better shot with the kids getting more ice time and learning than the same old vets who have been lackluster all season , correct me if I'm wrong but the wings haven't scored too many goals this year? And we barely got in , if Boston didn't choke bye bye wings and datsyuk would be officially done as of today Time to get some guts and play the kids , that's how we make noise in the playoffs not over working hank and pav and having Richards as a go to guy ... Things might be different if nyquist and Tatar were performing like they did last year but there not, athanasiou and mantha should get more playing time Helm Richards in top 6 roles won't be enough to get us going
