F.Michael 4,488 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 6 minutes ago, kickazz said: Dam Zetterberg's post-game interviews are depressing. Extremely depressing. This team is in desperate need for a hard-ass coach, and a hard-ass 'C'. Nothing against Hank, but at this point I'd rather see him go full-blown-mental, and start calling crap out. This team has been all season long a big disappointment. 2 minutes ago, frankgrimes said: can't even beat New Jersey do everything for a top 3 pick and then clean house in the off-season. New philosophy top to bottom is needed While Holland is running things...Not much will change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would fire Blashill before this game ended. This Devils team is not good and they are blowing us out. I would be shocked if Blashill is not the coach next season...As a die-hard pessimist, and realist...I see Blashill sticking around for at least 1 more season - if not 2 more seasons.

LeftWinger 4,738 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Holland will get his top 3 pick and not trade it. If he wastes it on a soft Defenseman....ugh! Let's waste our highest pick in decades...ugh this coach and GM has me going so nuts right now! I can't even think straight! This calls for a Clark Griswald rant! Just replace the name Frank Shirley with Ken Holland or Jeff Blashill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylee 727 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Blashill needs to go. We're in last place in the East. How long will Holland accept this? This team is going nowhere and we were very lucky to make the playoffs last season so really, this team has been out of it for 2 years now. 1 puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blows my mind that they won't give Jurco a shot over Sheahan. Even if Jurco turns out to be a bust, he can't be any worst than Sheahan is right now. At least go with potential at this point. Kronwall just needs to retire. Got a lot of respect for the guy, but his knee won't let him play at this level any more.

Just like the Leafs did it. Clean house wherever there is a need, this organization needs a shift in philosophy top to bottom. Can't wait till trade dead line.I don't care what Z and company is telling the media, fans actions speak louder than words and their actions have been disgusting most of these guys don't deserve to wear the winged wheel on their chest.

Maybe Wings need also real no-bs media. I´m always quite suprised, what quotes are Z/Blash providing after each loss. It´s still the same blabla, I can´t really say how many times I´ve read Blashill´s ´..turning puck over...puck management...got to be beter´ bs-its. Like, toughest article is today Czech (!!) article ( https://goo.gl/kDYYna ) really blaming this team to bury strong and executive history with effort they they are currently showing. Blaming Blashill, Green, DeKeyser, also Nielsen (expected to be leader). Would like to see this more widely on freep, mlive etc., address the pressure.

I honestly hope the Wings 'next' coach has no current ties with the organization...He also needs to be a ball breaker...Most of the time the guys out there appear clueless, and Blashill behind the bench is responsible. 10 hours ago, GMRwings1983 said: I'd be shocked if he makes it through February if they continue to suck.

AtlantaHotWings 623 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Anyone know how Hitch is with young players? Would he demand more out of the team?

Hitch is said to be 'old school'...As in - any player under the age of 35 probably won't care too much for him, and will think he's a dinosaur...Apparently he can be a real hard ass. I think he's what this team needs, and I could care less about the players feelings...They all need their asses chewed on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
