Dick, Paul, Ron, Gunnar, Pierre, me - good times Remember that Penguin stuffed animal Gunnar trotted out in HTC and walked around and let everyone have a swing at it? LOL Forgot about that:) Didn't Gunnar also wear some funky silver hat?

Well the only good thing about tonight's game was that Coreau got better in net as the game went on. Maybe he just needs a few more outings to get to NHL speed. Schvenikov (sp) didn't seem to play much. Might as well see what he can do down the stretch.
Anyone see the Wings winning a game on this road trip? Tough times in Motown but the Wings have a chance to lay the ground work for the future in this year's draft. Seven picks in the first 3 rounds and it's looking more like they will get a top six pick as well.

Would like to see Coreau play most of the remaining games. Give the young man as much experience as possible. Think you are right jarvis. He should improve.

The utter confusion displayed by this team is an embarrassment to the Red Wings' organization. How the guy has lasted this long as head coach is incomprehensible.'
I was a fan of KH for many years but he lost me totally when he didn't fire this joke of a coach after the first season.

Again I have no clue why hands of stone was on the ice with the netminder pulled. That is almost a defensive dare...sort of like "we don't need to cover that guy because he couldn't hit the net if we played using soccer nets". I was actually surprised he buried the rebound on out first goal.
14 to go people, 14 more games to go.
I know know its too much to expect any kind of adjustments for Jeff Blashill after 150 games behind our bench to try something new. Someone get this guy a lottery machines with the players numbers on the ping-pong balls so he can intelligently come up with line and D parings, One hundred and fifty games and this guy still can't figure out how to open the bench doors. It didn't work all of last season, it didn't work all of this season, its not going to work today, its not going to work tomorrow or the day fater but fuckin-A, lets keep on doing it.
14 games to use as a valuable learning tool for the kids and maybe the coach will fond out what the fuck he is doing wrong but start Coreau, use all the kids in all the situation and please DIFFERENT line combos. Reduce minutes of Hank, Abby, Helm, Nyquist, Kronwall, Ericsson and use the kids who may or may not be part of our future.
It looks to me that the players are spent and can't wait for this season to get over with...just liek the majority of us fans.

14 more games and losing most of them is the best case scenario for the future. Hate to see my team lose but I'm okay with that as long as they play well.
Problem is, Blashill will still play 3 lines and overplay the vets. That way, as I see it, he will assure us of two things. One........he will lose almost every game by playing tired vets. Two......he will continue to tick off the young guys.
Ideally, I'd like both him and KH to be fired right at season's end and a new GM installed in time to develop a solid draft plan and a strategy for getting out from under a few of the bad contracts. A quick turnaround is possible within 2-3 years but only if all of these things come to pass.
