Sadly yes...Back in the 80s when they were bad at least Yzerman scored and Probert/Kocur beat up opponents.
Not going to touch that contract, even retained fully
Unfriendly Ghost
Kasper
They probably weren't that incredible team that we saw at the beginning of the year, but they probably aren't bottom 5 like we're seeing now. So I guess I don't see the gaping wound thing.
All I know is I see a team that doesn't seem to care even a little bit.

we just gotta start on time ..... oh and they forgot to get there 4 goals...
this is really sad for Kane who is 10x better than everyone expected
I'd def swing this deal...Package Rasmountain/draft pick or 2/stale Timbits for Hubbey.

still trying to trust the yzerplan
I wholeheartedly agree. I hated the signings of Chiarot, Holl, Copp, and the Petry trade for this very reason. I’m OK with a few vets (Ghost, 1 year deal, and Maatta is/was alright, JT got a fair contract), but when the whole roster is filed with mid vets, what happens is that your team doesn’t actually improve, because those guys are not good enough to move the needle, and simultaneously the kids don’t get experience. So nothing is gained at all.

Kane is getting exactly what he wanted. Detroit was likely the only team where he could get a decent contract, guaranteed scoring line ice time to rehab, and cap space to absorb retention on his contract so he can go anywhere.
Then he gets to pick his contender of choice and go there and sign a 6-8 million dollar contract in the off-season.
Where's the team grit? Who sets the tone that we're going to be tough to play against?

Well after watching this stretch I'll be saving my money or my wife's I should say on the late Christmas gift... had planned to come down to a game but I can justify driving 5 plus hours each way and spending money for the odd chance they play with passion even, not even hoping for a win. Just the confidence you'd go to a Red Wings game and see a team effort and some zest from the players, that's not happening. Or they may play well and give up 5 goals anyways. It feels like this should be the game that causes change but... Yzerman is patient to no end so who really knows. I better not hear one "that's a great question" out of Uncle Fester tonight.

They are underperforming at the moment, but we have been seeing the exact same issues every season. Unforced turnovers in their own zone, coughing up the puck from the forecheck, and giving teams extended time in their own zone. The defense is just really bad at defense.

Would like to see someone other than Czarnik up. I think Kasper would be just as good in that 4th line role.

Man, screw the money. The time itself you'll never get back.

At least it would draw viewership. No one cares if Czarnik ever plays another shift...

This team has little heart, lacks leadership, the goalies can't stop anything, and the coach is hapless.
Giving up 5+ goals per game during this stretch is atrocious.
