Gonna be annoying though if the media makes a big deal out of this. Kind of understand why cameras aren't allowed sometimes.
Let 'em make, if they want. Let's get some shame into the mix, since nothing else seems to be working. Nothing wrong with a little shame - it's a healthy thing, to be forced to measure your expectations against everyone else's, a little.
As a fan it's frustrating to watch a team doing nothing for 60 minutes. I mean, if after this run of games you could say "they've spent too much time proving they can be physical and forgetting to play the actual game" or "they are so defensively-minded that they let waves and waves charge the zone and can't outscore the inevitable goals against" or "they are trying to outscore their defensive lapses and cannot" or... or...
anything coherent.
Instead I've "been forced" to watch 18 periods of hockey where they bumble around like freshmen leaving their first college party accomplishing
nothing.
It's insulting. They are professionals and need to act like it.
I've always maintained that in order for me to enjoy a game, I need to see actual decent hockey being played, not necessarily a victory. Do I want the Wings to win every game? Of course I do. Do I think they will? Of course I don't. When my friends ask me "how was the game?" I'll often respond with "they lost but they played some good hockey so I'm happy enough." And that's been the case practically all season, even in December's Blunder Run where they were hammered by holes in the lineup and a blistering schedule.
I have no clue what's wrong in that factory, but the product they've turned out recently has been asstastic.
