Stealth tank. 1 minute ago, puckbags said: Moral victories are for losers but we played hard tonight. My problem is that we don't even have our best players on the ice at the end of the game. Jensen was great all night and is nowhere to be seen at the end of the game. I feel like we played hard but not smart. Lots of skating and trying to do stuff, but not much in the actual execution department. Struggled to get to the inside all night, struggled to generated sustained o-zone pressure all night, struggled to move through the neutral zone all night, allowed Ottawa to move too easily through the neutral zone all night. Kind of felt like a "Here's how it's gonna be when Zetterberg's gone" preview. Edited November 3, 2017 by Dabura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 In all of this, I have a couple of questions... WTF is Chris Ilitich doing? It's time to make an executive decision. He cannot be happy, how can he allow This to be happening. There's no guarantee, if you tank, that you'll even get the top pick. Make a ******* decision, if you cannot trade him, waive Ericsson, get some cap relief, bring up a player that will help. If Kronwall won't retire, do the same. Make a ******* decision Chris!

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 You got close. Regarding the game: I got the impression, that the Wings were willing to win this but didn't have the ability to pull it off. Wether this is due to bad coaching or overall player quality (probably a combination of both) I don't know. Time to dig in. This is going to be a long season.

I've never been a fan of tanking, as I don't think its the right solution, just look at Edmonton. But I'm all for it this year if it means a chance at dahlin. I believe he is the big piece we need to turn this team around. LOSE ALL THE GAMES! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite thing about Edmonton is the amount of tanking they have done and the return they got on those investments. Traded away: Taylor Hall Jordan Eberle Nail Yakupov Matthew Barzal 2nd round pick Return on those trades: Adam Larsson Ryan Strome Like all the years of tanking before McD were basically a complete failure and they got nowhere near a good return on any of those picks. Tanking destroys team culture and destroys the value of assets. They're beyond lucky they got McD.
