Like I said before - watch Dubas bend to the will of social media/fans/etc, and fire Babcock.
So far these playoffs it's been refreshing to see hard work/determination  >  skill.

The hatred for Babcock on the Leafs HF boards makes my day.

I just like that he seems more willing to make aggressive trades and part with vets then Holland was. We are a long way from contention so aggressive, proactive leadership is needed.

Amazing!!! So pumped for the future.

John Cooper is lazy and he sucks, change my mind.

No, it's not. The Wings have an actual plan. The Wings are adding pieces. The Wings should be better within the next few years. Right now we don't have the talent to contend, so the best we can realistically hope for is good showings from the young talent every night and competitive games. We're getting both under Blashill this season.
Look at our roster -- it's one of the weakest rosters in the league. (Because we're a rebuilding team.) Look at how many games we lose narrowly and add those up. There's your bad goal differential. It's not like we're getting blown out every night. That's awfully convenient for your argument. "Blashill is ruining the kids. Larkin doesn't count." Cool.
Yeah? And?
Because Glendening is a faceoff specialist.
Is it a stupid move? Maybe, maybe not. But it's not like there wasn't any logic behind it and it's not like Blashill's the only coach in the league who would've done it.
Blashill puts DK out in OT against the Leafs and he scores the OT winner. Anecdotes are fun!
I don't know how closely y'all follow other teams, but I can tell you that every NHL fan base has the same complaints about every NHL head coach. I think it says more about the fans than it does about the coaches. Fans want their teams to win every game and play all the young kids all the time. But reality doesn't work that way.
Fair enough. But, personally, you haven't convinced me. Not even close.

The worst part is I'm up for being pissed off but Holland really isn't giving me much to work with here.

This could be his final year in the NHL. He came back to Detroit because he likes being in Detroit. I suppose he'd rather go out on his terms than be traded for a 3rd-round pick and play five minutes a night in the playoffs.
I'm ok with it.

Agreed. He's been our starter for 40 years now, so what's another 20?

This cholo guy might be something special

Cholowski!

Cholowski!

Fire blashill?

Nope, that had nothing to do with it.  They thought he was drafted too early for his talent.

I remember people were upset we drafted him so early.

You talking about Cholowski or Rasmussen 

Go Wings?
