GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 This team needs a new coach. Not because of the old argument that Blashill sucks but because they look lost out there and need a reset. Atleast get a coach who doesn't look like a second grader trying to take calculus exam all gameSent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1 kickazz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 For as big and strong as Ott is, I wonder if his stick is reinforced with rebar, it seems like his shot is so heavy and the puck weighs 10 lbs. Get em Antman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 I think Mantha could have a got a few licks in if he had the chance. We are sorely missing also a net front presence.

Loved how he was more or less the Russian version of Chris Chelios...Or was Chelios the American version of Vlad Konstantinov? As I mentioned in another thread a while back...Wings should resort to the 80's where the 1st, and 2nd round picks were of the most skilled player available...Rounds 3, and up were all about toughness. Bloody hell - we might actually have a fun team to watch in a few years. Probably was the Russian version of Chelios since Chelly was around a while before. As far as skills + toughness. You mean you'd like for us to be like the LA kings? Highly skillled team that likes to drop em and throw some big hits. Also have 2 cups on their record the last 4 years.

kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) 5 minutes ago, F.Michael said: Yes - a team like today's Kings, or a version of what we had back in '97. We lack skill, and toughness...No where near the skill to be considered a legit 'puck possession' team, and far too small to play the dump, and chase. It all boils down to drafting...Again I want to go '80's retro...A few skill picks, and then toughness from then out...It's not like our drafting over the past several years has exactly kept us in among the elite in the league...Then again I've always preferred a certain brand of hockey that is frowned upon. I'm not sure if toughness soley has as place anymore. I think if we could get some guys that are like Shanahan that can be both skilled and tough at the same time, that would probably mesh well in todays hockey. For instance Anthony Mantha is a goal scorer that can drop them if needed. I like that about him. (Although he just lost the fight he got into lol) Another example is Iginla in the 2000s, Corey Perry Edited December 28, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
