Your father fires your coach - Do you walk out with your teammates in protest? An open forum.

11/10/2015

As reported by The Malik Report and Puck Daddy there is a player revolt in Flint. The owner, apparently upset over his son's playing time, fired the entire the coaching staff immediately following an emotional come-from-behind victory. Included among the entire 24 player team roster who threw their jerseys on the floor of the front office symbolizing their united quitting of the the team was the owner's son. Personally, I find the situation appalling, but apparently nepotism is fairly common in teenage sports and younger, as noted by KK members in the comments of the initial TMR report cited above. But what I find admirable is the owner's son is calling out his father's wish for special treatment by standing with his teammates. How many kids would have the courage to do that? If you were in that same position, would you stand with your teammates and quit the team, or would you try to stay out of it and hope it all blew over quickly? If you were on the team and your coach was just fired because of something like this, would you lead a revolt? Would you go along with the person or people who call for one? What would you do? How would you handle a situation like this? I'd like to think I would walk out with the team, regardless of potential consequences, that I'd have the courage to stand up for my coach(s). The person I am today would walk out with my team, that I can say for certain. I yield the floor.

The Mighty Mite: Undersized, overlooked… and flat out dominant!

5/22/2015

The Mighty Mite- The undersized star that shouldn’t even be on the ice yet dominates play. My introduction to this elusive player was none other than Theo Fleury. At 5’6” (some say that’s generious) Fleury could not be ignored as the undersized power forward. He was built like a semi truck with the speed and agility of a super car. In his prime he was the number one threat that had to be shut down in Calgary. Good luck with that. When he wasn’t scoring goals he was crushing players all over the ice. And when he got angry he may as well have been the Hulk’s Mini Me taking on players who towered over him and beating the living snot out of them. He was so memorable in my house that a conversation about jerseys turned into reminiscing about when Fleury’s jersey was too bloodied to allow him back on the ice after a cut. A fan volunteered to give him a team signed jersey to get back in the game. Fortunately the equipment manager found a spare jersey with another number on it and quickly added Fleury’s name to the back. I didn’t know number changes were legal during games, but the refs allowed it and back in he went.

What will Babcock do? Please place your predictions here!

5/18/2015

Right. I don't care about the circus, as entertaining as everyone has made it. I don't care about the result, as the Wings will survive and continue to rebuild into a contender regardless of Babcock's decision. I do care about the record, and this everyone's chance to place your predictions. This is not a debate, merely the answer to a simple question Is Babcock staying in Detroit? For the record, I think Babcock has had his fun and will be re-signing with Detroit. How about you?

Your team is out, the playoffs continue. Do you watch? An open forum.

4/30/2015

I love hockey. I love hockey no matter who is playing. I love this sport. I love anything to do with this sport because hockey truly is "the coolest game on ice." My team, the Red Wings, have exited the playoffs in the first round, again. Yet life goes on and so do the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That's why I keep watching, no matter who is playing. I always have. Sometimes I find a team to root for the rest of the way, or I already had another team I was watching and rooting for. Sometimes I dislike a team so I automatically root for the other one. Sometimes I'm going in with no reason to root for either team so I wait for one team to give me a reason to root against it. That inevitably happens, usually because of a goon, but sometimes because a player, coach or GM starts whining about something and makes me dislike them enough to want the team to lose. Sometimes a player catches my eye, or a line, or as I watch I like the entire team, so I root for them. Whatever reason develops, one always presents itself. But the number one reason I keep watching? Simple: I love hockey. I always have, and I always will. What do you do? Why?
