This team can be better with those players, but it's all forwards mostly. Doesn't effect the D much, and Mrazek has been as good as Howard was before he went down. Things don't look good either way. lol 3 minutes ago, Echolalia said: Larkin has looked really good thus far.

The puck is finding him tonight, it would be nice if there were somebody out there that could help him get the puck in a more opportune moment. Yeah, maybe if he wasn't stuck between Ott and Miller. Christ, Blash's lines just scream inept coaching. 1 Wingnut1989 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Things don't look good either way. lol Too bad the coach doesn't know how to properly utilize any of these players properly, regardless of who or who is not in the lineup. I think if we had a half decent coach, we would have at least 4 or 5 more wins than we do right now. I am not upset when we lose, I am upset at the way we lose. Even when we win for that matter, we are totally outplayed, outclassed. Even in our own building teams are consistently controlling play. So Blashill's response to that is to make us slower by putting Larkin on the 4th line and by playing Lashoff (who is worse than Quincy was at moving pucks) in instead of Sproul. The PP units are a mess. Blashill rewards players who are playing like crap with ice time instead of those who are actually competing hard. I am so sick of this not being addressed. It is just such a glaring issue to me, I do not understand how Kenny does not see it. 5 datterberg1340, Detroit \# 1 Fan, Wingnut1989 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingnut1989 165 Report post Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Well if i had it my way Glendening, Sheahan, Miller, and Helm wouldn't even be on this roster despite how well helm started this season he aint worth the paycheck he got.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted December 7, 2016 Frankly i think they're the least of the Wings' issues. This roster isn't terribly built. By all indications it should be better than last year's (and last year's should have been better than the previous year). If there was competent coaching this team would be so much different. 3 kliq, krsmith17 and chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
