This team needs to realize that Chariot must be moved off the top line. Just move him off. He is horrific. The Wings literally have had a 3rd line defender playing on the first line for years. It isn't working. Sign another top two defensemen to help out Seider and Edvinsson. Then everyone else can work around them. It is due time. That is the missing piece for this team to take the next step combined with all the young forwards and centers we have coming up.
Ouch. Poor Södorblom. I put more of the blame on Hamonic, Charoit, Compher, and Gibson regarding the previous night’s performance. Yeah Södorbloom should’ve been more offensive in board battles and putting the puck on the net but I think he’s in a position where he’d be able to quickly learn from those mistakes quicker and improve more so than Charoit and Hamonic. I’m willing to give Compher more runway as he actually won a Stanley Cup and Gibson needs more coaching from the goaltending coach to see if he can improve in net.
lets be real this season has been an odd start for a lot of teams, like the penguins are 2-0 and nobody is expecting them to sniff the playoffs. give it a few weeks before you all lose your goddamn minds
I've grown to really dislike Larkin as captain. By hockey player standards he's on the soft side. You can tell instead of getting on guys like Justin Holl to do better he's been buddy buddy with them. He's a solid player but never been leadership material. Can't wait for the Larkin era to be over with. Seider is looking like the guy. Has all the qualities you want in a captain. Physicality, no nonsense approach. Players see the those qualities in their captain and it rubs off on them.
Man, I did not expect McLellan to say that Berggren had a good preseason. I assumed they scratched him because it wasn't good enough. Still don't understand what they want from him, he has such a short leash. Give him a chance with some good players, we keep getting mad at him because he can't up 20 goals with 10 minutes of ice time and players like Compher and Rasmussen on his line.
Speaking of Rasmussen, I don't know why his leash is so long. Soderblom is almost a better player than him, if he isn't already.

Seider for captain
This team needs some toughness up front on the fourth line, Bergren and Appleton aren’t fourth line players

Should of taken Rasmussen out instead of Soderblom.

Whos ready to rage tonight boys
Coaching I don’t think was ever the problem with the exception of blashill. GM and owner are the issue
The next guy I want off this team is Michael Rasmussen. The people that watch the game and focus on the players know what I’m talking about.
