    Learn2LuvIt got a reaction from F.Michael in News From Around the NHL *Mod warning page 75*   
    Agree.  I think Stevie is waiting till he has full understanding of who he can get and who he can't.  I don't see him rushing to pull the trigger on this.  IMO-He likely has a list of coaches in mind that he'd want, and as the season plays out, his "list" of guys he wants will shorten.  As the list gets smaller and smaller I would suspect the back-channel communications will start to happen with the short list coaches and their agents.  Basically this....100% off the record and will be denied if gone public, but Yzerman wants to have a very serious conversation with you about you being his bench boss in Detroit.

    I wouldn't have a problem with Laviolette - however me thinks Grand Master Y is waiting to see what develops in TB this spring.

    Feds should have his number retired. Hart trophy, Stanley Cups, Hall of Fame. The guy honored his contracts. Never forced a trade. The whole "how he left" thing is stupid. He was an UFA. #raise91

    When he was speaking he was good. Very comfortable, not boring to listen to. But you could tell he was a newbie. Whenever John Keating was talking his gaze was darting around everywhere, and you could tell he was looking at the producer/coordinator behind the camera or whatever. Got keep those eyes on Keating or the camera Big Bert.
    That's prolly easy to work on and fix though. Hope he does more. I love to see new faces in the booth.

    Well, that's how bad this team is. lol Players and Blash thought he did well, but any goalie stuck behind that D is gonna get lit up. Could have been worse. He may not improve the net sitch much, but I'd rather see him play instead of Bernier. We know what we have with Bernier. Who knows, The more Comrie plays, the better he may get. It is very hard to judge any goalie on this team with the mess were in, but it is what it is. Just start the kid, get Bernier some croissants and tell him to sit back and relax.
    Yeah i had read about that. The first goal that went in never should have either. An opposing player shouldn't get three whacks at a puck in the crease ffs.

    During the 2nd Period of Tues game (can't remember the exact time during the period), we were getting swarmed by the Jets.  Just an onslaught of offense and our D was scrambling.  Right before the whistle blew there were 3 Wings standing directly outside of the crease in front of Comrie in essentially the form of a triangle...the other 2 Wings were chasing the puck around looking quite honestly a bit silly.  Once the whistle blew, you could see Comrie laying into the 3 guys in front of the net, you could tell he was saying something to the effect of stop standing around and screening me....go play D!!  Ugghh...it was hard to watch.

    I don't know that the problem with the Leafs was defensive per say. It's definitely an offense heavy team though...
    It's watching them lose board battle after board battle and lacking any real fight in there game. They totally come off as confused or disinterested at times.
    That's probably to blame on Babs losing the room, and also a team lacking any real role-players.
    2-0 in the Keefe era
    Like many have said, I think Seattle would be a unique opportunity for Babs. He'll have a ton of say in roster selection and can build the team to fit his evil ways.
    However, Seattle seems help bent on being the new, different, progressive, team in the league. So I doubt they go with such an old school jackass lol

    There's also the age factor. Dude's gonna be 36 in March. That's not ancient, but, uh, it ain't exactly young either. I'm guessing his poor play is just a combination of old age and the s*** defense in front of him. Too much for him to overcome on many/most nights.

    I will never speak ill of my Howie, but hhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo boyyyyyyyyyy we are so ill-equiped to deal with a goalie change unless we trade. The goalie market is never very good too.
    Bernier is trash
    Pickard has never been good at the NHL level
    Larsson is clearly not ready

    I have a feeling that many, many in this organization are going to feel the wrath of Stevie this season.  By "wrath", I mean gone.  Per this thread, this organization is broken or weak in almost every aspect - top to bottom.  IMO -Stevie is a winner and he won't simply watch this season go down the road it has been going.  I know he's preached patience, and rebuilding "will take time", but if I were with the Wings organization, my head would be on a swivel.  This guy hates to lose, and not only hates to lose, the Wings are embarrassing (for Wings and Wings fans standards)...this just isn't going to fly for long.  I've said it before, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see some major player, coach, and front office moves this year.  Likely some player moves that are surprising as we believed said player was a part of our "core" or future.  More specifically, and not saying I'd be against this move, but many Wings fans I've talked to believe AA is a part of our "core" and future.  Not sure if agree with that but If rumors are true about AA and him having a bit of an attitude and "me first" mentality....HE GONE!

    I think we'll see a pretty significant improvement from this season to next. We might not make the playoffs next season, but I think we'll at least be in the conversation. This season we'll (hopefully)be a bottom three team and actually pick in the top three. Add that player to your 2021 roster, as well as a free agent or two and we'll be in great shape.
    I'm still confident that all of Rasmussen, Veleno, Zadina, Svechnikov and Seider will be significant pieces to the core of this roster. Add a Lafreniere, Byfield, Raymond, Holtz, etc. and we're back!
