 I want the score to be so outrageous that Stevie Y will notice and do something.   Fire Blah-shill... DO something about this.

It's like you can read my mind...Or my previous posts

hi, Dabs... I think the team must know by now that they are stuck with Blah-shill and everything else that is bad right now, so they no longer even try.. or that is what tonight looks like anyway.

This team needs a tremendous shake up. If we can't land first or second overall something drastic must happen at this point, even consider trading Larkin. This is not NHL level hockey. I feel like this team might be a bubble playoff team in the AHL. Maybe.

[F.Michael 4,590]

Grand Master Y  in the Wings locker room - 'So who in here wants to get traded'?

yep.  I don't see it happening...There seems to be no pulse in the front office... one can only assume they see this.

Sup loo.

I think they're lazy and they suck and they need to be punched in their heads.

And I know just the man for the job...

Larkin should be stripped of his A

So then the back of his jersey would say "LRKIN"? What good would that do?

[MabusIncarnate 5,355]

I would jump on Laviolette right now, while hes still out there. It's a start.

Okay this was funny

Lane Lambert was floated as a coaching possibility... which may explain why Blashill still has a job.  Lambert is an assistant now and could really only be hired in the offseason.  Which makes Blashill a "grocery stick".

[puckloo39 5,686]

I think the Wings could just go through the crowd at LCA next game and pick guys at random to play.  I have seen beer league teams with better energy than what I am looking at here.  It's just a thought.  Fan Play -- be a Red Wing for a Day?

Get a few beers in me and I'll play tendie

[Dabura 12,228]

Smith scored his first NHL goal. So the night isn't a total downer, I guess.

[F.Michael 4,590]

Trotz had been on his fair share of butt-lickings back when the Wings were good...Roles reversed tonight.

EDIT - was meant to type 'butt-kickings', but my original post will do

I am not sure what that is, but it would likely have a stiffer spine than our current coach

A grocery stick that piece of plastic you use to separate orders at the grocery store checkout.  It's a place holder.

Ah...Here in the States we call that a 'DON'T TOUCH MY $HIT - OR I'LL SHOOT YOU IN THE FACE' divider.

When was the last time this team was bag skated?

Personally I'd rather see the team made to dress up in furry costumes, line them  up, and have teenage girls kick them in the nutz...

If this was your pre-game meal - I can guarantee no player from the opposition will get in your crease...

Hey Blashill, how is the “process” working?

only thing worse then the loss is listening Blashill and Abby’s punchable face say how the team has to play better!

[Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083]

Holland watching this team:

[ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022]

Despite the score Yzerman watched his team from from the executive box patiently. Emotionless. His gaze never breaking from the ice.

Colleagues shirked from his side, not wanting to break his concentration or spark the capped rage they knew must be swelling in him at this moment. No one spoke for a good deal of time.

Finally, Patrick Verbeek - considered by Yzerman to be the single man of honor remaining in the room - broke the tension.

"Steve... Do you want me to have Katie bar the door?" He said in a flatly serious tone.

The other scouts and executives in the box exchanged nervous glances, but after a smirk and a punctuated chuckle Steve responded in a smooth calm tone.

"I know what you're trying to do Beeker. It's okay, I'm fine. The team is fine. We all knew what we signed up for this season. I'm not even keeping track of the score, I just want to watch the boys play tonight. Really, it's okay. Everyone just relax and take this opportunity to study the team a bit, okay?"

A wave of relief swept over the room. The scouts and other executives were again admired by just how even keel this Yzerman fellow was. Everyone returned to watching the game calmly.

"LOSERS are in here" Yzerman thought to himself, "If they helped build a team of LOSERS there's definitely LOSERS in this very room as well... LOSERS could be anywhere".

The smell of cooking hot dogs from the stadium below soothed him for a moment.

"I HATE LOSERS" he thought.

Cotton Eye Joe began to play from the nearby jumbotron. A favorite stadium tune of his from his later playing years. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a brief moment before standing from his seat to head to the lockerroom. The game would be ending shortly.

Yzerman met Jeff Blashill just outside the dressing room. As soon as Jeff saw him the coaches face took on a worried look and tears began welling up in his eyes. The GM embraced his coach and immediately assured him that everything was fine. He had a plan. A blockbuster January trade already in the works... But it was at that moment that Yzerman heard from the dressing room the worst words a GM can ever here...

"Lets enjoy the time off tonight eh boys?"

Yzerman immediately froze. His entire body going more still than Martin Havlat after a Kronwalling. He recognized the voice... Larkin.

Then his blood began to boil.

"TIME OFF?" he said, entering the room. "TIME OFF???"

Larkin and the rest of the players appeared stunned and confused by his sudden presence.

"LISTEN TO ME, YOU LAZY SUCK, I IN 54 YEARS HAVE NEVER TAKEN TIME OFF! I HAVEN'T SLEPT IN THREE DAYS TRYING TO GRINDOUT A MASSIVE JANUARY TRADE TO FIX THIS GOD FORSAKEN TEAM. AND TIMEOV ISN'T ANY RUSSIAN PLAYER I'VE EVER HEARD OF."

Larkin was shaking now.

"Muh muh mis... mister Y, It's NYC, I j-j-just thought it would help team morale right now is all"

But it was too late for excuses. Yzerman had ******* lost it.

Removing his favorite executive fountain pen - the one his daughters had gifted to him on his birthday a few years back - from his scouting journal, he began maiming Larkins scummy punk face with it. The other players were terrified and frozen. After a few seconds the players started screaming for the trainers to help. While Yzerman continued to stab Larkin's cute boyish cheeks repeatedly, Abdelkader finally found one of the medical staff and told them what was happening in the locker room.

"Well, that's just how Stevie is before hes had his coffee on Tuesdays" the trainer said with a smile, turning towards the camera and making that patented sitcom cue-the-laugh track shrug.

Then the Full House outro theme humorously began playing

 

 

Anyway, that's at least the closest thing I can imagine as to the conversation they're having in the locker room right now.
