I just wish this guy would chip in more goals. His contract is pretty much the same as Compher. Compher had a career year in goals and plays solid defense. I just dont think Copp has lived up to his contract.
Seems like he’d be a funny teammate. I remember that video surfaced a few months back of him and Veleno walking down the tunnel in Seattle and he says something to Veleno like, “Let’s get out of this fuckin shit hole” lol
Copper's insight into match-ups and progression of playoff style hockey game really lends insight into how smart this guy is. Looks like a future coach in the making.
I like Copp, i just dont think hes lived up to his contract. He signed a long term 25 million dollar deal. I would like to see him chip in more goals. I really like his defensive game. But he has the ability to score goals. Hes had a 20 goal season. Compher has pretty much the same contract and he scored 19 goals, a career high. He also plays solid defense. If Copp could produce like Compher, i would be happy and the team would be better.
He was mainly checking the other teams top line,, defense was the main focus,. He was not on the power play units much so a 20 goal season was not likely to happen.
May not feel like it right now but there's been progress. Having the young core battle to end is invaluable. Next year needs to be the year of no funny games.
Easily the best interview. Not very many canned responses. Very candid about his thoughts and where he is. He's reading between the lines of the questions, and voicing his frustration about his role without coming off as not being a team player. I've not been his biggest fan thus far, as he seems like he plays Darren Helms game without the speed, but listening to him talk I think he's a pretty smart guy and a team player.
@@Nall412 did you actually check his career stats? Did you not watch the games and his multiple missed 1on1 with the goalie? The myriad of shots in the goalie's chest? it's ok to be a fan, I love the Wings as well, but let's not live in a fantasy
@@luciangasca5048Well, hes had one 21 goal season. He's also scored in the high teens. If he could produce like Compher i think more people would support him and his 25 million dollar contract.
@@luciangasca5048 its better than 9, 10, 11, 12 goals. Some of you guys have unrealistic expectations right now. Im not Copps biggest fan. I dont like his 25 million dollar contract. But hes solid defensively.
Dude came to stabilize the rebuild, which we are barely into. He won't be here when we contend. Be grateful, honestly, gets hard minutes, works hard and makes mistakes. He'll finish as a wing with a kid center he can mentor.
Jesus Christ, barely into the rebuild. We are going into year 6. Enough is enough. This season coming up is where this franchise has to make the post season on a regular basis.
@@Nall412I dont considered it 6yrs. Jesus Christ, it took yzerman 2yrs to clean up our salary cap and trade or let go most of Hollands players. Holland also left us with one of the worst prospect pools in hockey. Yzerman didn't even hire HIS coach until blash's contract ended. He knew bringing in his coach immediately would be a awful idea because he was in the middle of fixing our cap. So its really, 4yrs..imo.
To all the Copp haters out there, please tone down your frustration with individual players on the team. But rather direct your frustration to the person who hired him, if you have the maturity and courage to do so (clearly not). If it's missing, shut up or show up your self, -not gone happen either here I guess. In fact, (I) LOVE Copp as he has done nothing but what was requested by his employer. To do the crap job day in and day out. This without getting any major headlines or praise from a united Fan base for his positive attitude to shutting down the opponent's best line, whether it concerns 5v5 or PK. A very hard working person who is also open and very honest as he speaks his mind and usually does not hold anything back in these press releases during the regular season or the endings like here. All teams need players of Copp's character to be faithful servants, without asking for their own space in the media. It is quite easy to see that when his career is over, he will fit into a staff role, small or something bigger to grow into.
Your right, Copps defensive game is great. But im looking at his 25 million dollar contract. I think for that kind of money, he should chip in offensively. Like Compher. Compher has pretty much the sane contract. He was brought in as a two way player, so was Copp. Copp has had a 20 goal year. If Copp could chip in 14-18 goals. I would be satisfied.
@@Detwhat Thanks. It's true that fans can actually criticize him for the very lack of his offensive numbers, agree 110% there. However, I maintain my attitude that, and he actually states this in the interview himself, that his role changed somewhat. Who would fill that role better than Copp on the team today. The team lacks at least two players who can complete, or I could even say a whole 2nd line, it's a bit of the areas Mr. Stevie needs to fill in this summer. What I like most is when we fans (as you self e.i.) can have an adult communication about small things regarding individual players. I have never seen his cap as a problem and it has to do with the fact that it plans too goes up a lot next year. Sometimes it costs a little more to get the one you want, then he also came from a more difficult operation that takes time both to heal and also to recover from. This year's Copp is much better overall this year than last year e.i. Getting a little excited to see what S.Y manages to do in the summer, because there are lots of red flags in this year's team that need to be fixed. Should one interpret Stevie at TDL - that we have the same player in our pipe, that more than 1 alt 2 will come up or how will tomorrow's RW look on paper. Mentally, I have already prepared myself for RW taking a step back in the worst case scenario.
