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. Tim
