I agree Pierre. A good coach can make a difference...albeit a very small one:)

I agree Pierre. A good coach can make a difference...albeit a very small one:) In today's hockey everything is into details. Back at the trade deadline we were 26-26 and still in the hunt for playoffs, and at that time we were all saying that with better decision making from our coaching staff we would be in the playoffs. ...then trades came in and we lost all confidence. I still believe that this group, playing on all cylinders, can make the playoffs next season.. ...but not with this coaching staff. You cant start next season with this identical group. This is one of the worst Red Wings season in history...in depth changes have to be done..

I never at ANY point in the season thought this team had a chance at the playoffs. Not only that but I don't think this team has a chance next season either. Does not matter what coach is behind the bench. The roster has ZERO great players and only a few good ones. As long as Howard gets the bulk of the starts they are going nowhere. Statistically he is one of the worst starters over the last few years. His numbers don't lie. He can go on a few hot runs but as always they are followed by a string of terrible starts. The new Russian looked good in limited time. He, AM,AA DL and possibly Bert are worth keeping. It will take a half decade to contend IF IF IF they acquire talent...some way...some how. Sad but true.

I agree that we're not as bad as our record. A good coach can and does make a difference. Yes you have to have some talent but you have to utilize your assets properly and that is something that Blashill can't seem to grasp. Plus rarely makes any form of adjustments to anything. He's just sticks to it...82 games last season and 73 games this season so far and he keeps on stickin to it like it will auto-magically start working.
I also would like to stop putting unskilled guys on lines 1 and 2...I don't agree with the piano carrier syndrom instituted by Babcock putting falldown boy boom-boom Asswholekader on line with Datsyuk.
I want to clean house from Kenny Holland to the entire coaching staff
