Random Red Wings Notes

[Mitchrapp]

For the Wings at least I could say I saw 4 cups so it's not bad for me as a fan. And in the 70's I was just a young kid, It's only the adults that get frustrated with sports teams.

In Detroit sports misery, how much do you blame the coaches?

[Mitchrapp]

No coach blame. Even though I think some coaches are not really good, Patricia comes to mind, it's generally the GM's that should get the blame. Not Yzerman though, he's new.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

There is a degree of coaching to blame.

Last season when the PP was decent it was because Larkin was the main setup man. Now its points+right wing doing the set up. Ie. their stategy is one where Mantha is still healthy.

Newsflash, Mantha been gone for weeks and will be gone for more.

You gotta adapt your strategy.

Adding Bowey to the PP is moronic unless you are planning on giving up shorties or giving him extra time in the shop window.

Blashill's dump it in strategy does not work. Unless you have Givani Smith going out there and digging the puck out cause nobody else seems to be capable of that.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I blame our last GM, and for as much as he's done over the past decades, started doling out bad contracts like they were candy.

Zadina is out 2-3 weeks.

I presume from a friendly shot he blocked against the Rangers.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Bummer.

There are Swedish rumours that Detroit is attempting to sign Malte Str?mwall of the HC Sochi (KHL).

Nothing can be signed until KHL season is over.

He had a big breakout in the Finnish league last season and is leading his KHL team in scoring.
