Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk Your statement doesn't negate anything I said. I agree Bowman won, and I agree Blashill has struggled. My point is that when someone is losing, EVERYTHING they do tends to be criticized. There are plenty of things that Blashill does wrong, I'm not denying that, I have said that I would like a coaching change. But I am not going to sit here and blindly say that every single move he has ever made is wrong. Of course there is no comparison between the two, but lets be objective and evaluate every decision Blashill makes clearly and not let our personal bias's dictate everything we say. You throw a blanket statement at me, and you say I am calling you "a hater", like PVD said if you dont want that label, you probably shouldn't call him Trashill every single post. The irony is astounding. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But nobody wants to talk about that because Bowman is a godman In short, I agree with what the other two are saying.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted January 16, 2017 Blashill took over what was basically the same team Babcock coached. Most of the players regressed and had subpar years. Larkin started hot, then the longer he was coached by Blashill, the worse he got.. Year two, the nearly universal decline has continued. Tatar and Nyquist went from guys who looked like they could score 30 goals to useless players. Larkin has regressed. AA plays well and earns a back handed compliment peppered with criticism about a couple bad shifts. Sheahan continues to get PP time. Ott gets PP time. Glendening is played on a scoring line. The PP is almost historically bad. Howard, Vanek, Mantha, and Nielsen meet or exceed expectations, EVERYONE ELSE is worse. This team was never going to be a contender, but it shouldn't be pushing for the first overall pick either. All of that is on the coach. Holland is to blame for the bad contracts that are going to anchor this team in mediocrity for the next few years and for not wanting to admit that they need to rebuild, at least not publicly. Jeff Blashill is not anywhere close to an NHL caliber head coach. Holland has done a bad job. These are not mutually exclusive, but some people seem intent on giving Blashill a pass. Name one thing he has done to show he should be coaching in the NHL. 1 SwedeLundin77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Name one thing he has done to show he should be coaching in the NHL. You're absolutely right. He's just not NHL caliber. He took nearly half a season to bench Sheahan, but Athanasiou has a couple of bad shifts and he's benched? Not to mention, he's one of your more explosive forwards and you play him around 8 minutes a game? Get out of here. Also, Larkin playing on the bottom 6 is just ridiculous. Glendening playing in the top 6 is also ridiculous. He regularly uses backhanded compliments about players to the media and doesn't show enough emotion in and out of games. Both he and Holland need to go. They need to make some serious moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem intent on creating a debate that nobody is on the other side of. its funny how saying not every move Blashill does is awful, is interpreted by you as giving him a pass. Actually read what I wrote. Edited January 16, 2017 by kliq 2 ChristopherReevesLegs and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
