I wanna start a campaign of getting Anton Blidh on this team and waive Hayes. It needs to happen.
There is no way Blidh would hurt the team that much...he can play conservative and responsible, start him on 4th line with a vet like Moore.
Give him 10 minutes a night and see what happens, there is no way he can be worse than Hayes and he will bring more.
The team could use a spark plug, he is quick, hits everything, plays on edge, a great pest...and I actually think he has a sneaky shot.
Blidh is 21, give him 5 games and see how he does. We wanna develop good depth guys within the system and I think he can become a valuable energy 4th liner, would injects some real forechecking pressure.
I can't think of a reason Blidh shouldnt get a shot in over Jimmy. I can't believe we are doing this again this year..like it seems it takes management way too long to make obvious changes...just like Kemp last year.
I don't understand it.
SO...Blidh IN Hayes OUT
people here will love Blidh's game...hits, pest, energy guy..can actually play hockey, kill penalties and who knows if the offensive side develops.
