Blashill

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I have read comments from Helm and Tatar. Their comments were very disturbing. Their comments all indicate that Blashill mishandled the locker room. So much dissension. He couldn't put lines together. Worst of all was Firschweiler, his buddy. How can he keep someone so lacklustre and clueless. Now it appears he will be the defensive coach. The defence was bad before. Look out now. New players will not make a difference because the people on top are the same. I would love to be a fly on the wall when the players meet with Holland and Blashill. I had high hopes for Blash but he killed the spirit that is the RedWings.

I think the bigger issue is the piss poor attitude our guys are displaying. I don't remember players coming out in the media like this complaining. Be a professional and discuss these things with the coach and GM rather than going through the media. Grow up. This isn't how the red wings do things.

Just following the GM and Senior VP way of addressing their issues with the team apparently.

Is there a source for these Helm and Tatar comments?

Just what was reported in the free press. Helm complained how he was used, mentioning disrespect. Tatar mentioned how he was moved to the fourth line and moved frequently.

With all the drama with Pavel leaving, players not happy how they are being used, Granato leaving, lack of defense, forwards not able to put the puck into the back of the net, and special teams/secondary coaching being in the basement

Things need to change

Tatar took responsibility upon himself and didn't really blame the coach.

He was just being politically correct. If he lambasts th coach, he knows he's a goner. He doesn't belong on the fourth line. He said h had to play differently because h as on the fourth line. I'm sure he felt like a fish out of water there.

Firschweiler doesn't need a new role, he needs to be off of the coaching staff. Period.

Here's Tatar's quotes:

"My goals were way higher than they end up, but it was different stuff this year than it was last year. It was different position for me, so I guess what the numbers are saying is the way it is now."

"I think the position was way different this year than last year, after last season playing most of the time with Pav (Datsyuk) and Helmer (Darren Helm)," Tatar said. "This time I was kind of around the lines. With different position comes different responsibility. Wherever I played I tried to play best, bring the energy as much as I could."

"It was a little tougher to get comfortable, I was squeezing the stick almost all season. The goals I set were hard to end up (with), so it was kind of disappointing for me."

I don't see how any of that is really criticism of Blashill. He acknowledge that the place he was put with Pav was better for production and that being put with Shea and Nyquist and "around the lines' was "tougher," but he says "I don't mind being in that position...We can't leave everything on Pav and Hank (Zetterberg), those guys need help. I think last season me and Nyquist stepped up and helped them."
