I’m gonna start this off by saying, I am too am upset. I’ve watched every single wings game since 2015. I am a die hard. I own a ticket package, I spend way too much on Labatt Heavy’s at LCA, and my wallet is in constant hurt with the Wings.
I am also a big believer in Stevie. It’s beyond the point of him being a Stanley Cup Champion by building the Tampa Bay Lightning. It’s the fact that his draft picks are damn good. Seider & Raymond are stars. Edvinsson, although getting beat recently is very good. I also love ASP, MBN, & all the other prospects. The prospects are enough to be a top 5 ranked pool by Scott Wheeler from the athletic. What that means is we are going to be a damn good hockey club for the next 10 years.
The issue, we suck at scoring. Our forward groups lack scoring, and our current defense is ass. Watch a game and see what I see.
Why on earth is missing the playoffs acceptable? Where is the accountability for Stevie?
I mean honestly, you are right. The last time we were in playoffs, we were just trying to keep the streak alive. Since then, we have been hampered with bad contracts, but also, which Stevie is responsible for, have signed some pretty horrid contracts. Let’s break them down:
Justin Holl
Justin Holl was the whipping boy in Toronto, and we signed him thinking a change of pace in our squad would help. It didn’t, he sucks. Stevie should answer to this,
Vladimir Tarasenko
Really tough signing, I think all my time watching him he’s missing the net by an average of 10 feet lol.
David Perron
He left, but was a fantastic signing……. Who did we replace him with? Vladdy. Horrid management.
Patrick Kane
Great signing. If he walks this summer, going to be hard to get someone back.
I’m just gonna stop while I’m ahead but the haters have a point.
I am going to just say the amateur scouting has been enough……
