Well, since I am from Detroit and this newsgroup needs some 
stimulation, let's talk about those DEAD WINGS.  

Adam Oates did OK, but not as expected.  However, Tim Friday
is doing quite well for a rookie defenseman.

The DEAD WINGS are individually very very good. There has been
talk in the papers here that Jimmy D (GM) will be out soon.

They are not looking at the problem. The GM did what he was suppose
to do...get good players.  The problem is in the coaching ! 
The Wings go out there and look like there playing pickup hockey
at the local arena !

Back to the coach.  I saw Harry interviewed on the Don Cherry
show last year.  I said to myself then (not knowing he would 
be coaching the wings); "There is a REAL complacent loser !"

I can't believe that they spent big bucks on the players, then
hire a loser for a coach.

prediction:  they won't ever be a serious competitor until
	     a coach with a winning attitude is hired.
