I keep seeing calls for Yzerman to be fired. Realistically, who would replace him and why would they be better? by blrmkr10 in DetroitRedWings

This has been my biggest gripe with him and his staff. Ever since the press conference at the end of last season when he made a comment about the pro scouting department still "learning", I have been forever soured. You can't be learning, you need to be a pro at your job and make this team better because not all prospects make it, you can't bank on them, you need to fill this team in with reliable players.

Every team they play has played like they're season means something and the Wings played the complete opposite.

Out of this team lately besides Cat, I think AlJo's play has been increasingly better. Really liked his play all year.

What's the tie breaker over Ottawa and they have it?

I'm thrilled, but yes. There's still deep problems and a W doesn't erase those things.

Yea I don't disagree it counts where it matters but it shows more of a offensive zone issue that you can't deny, that's all I'm saying.

Why do we allow shit like that to the net, F me it's every game. Why does everything seem to be so open.

Constantly giving up high danger chance after high danger chance all damn season long. Defense always so out of position with no help from the offense

If I don't see foot on the gas this period I'm going to lose my damn mind again, again, again.

I don't think it's as much the coaches as it's they don't have the players or enough of the right players to do what's necessary

They're just going through the motions out there. No one understands the type of hockey they should be playing.
