I’d hold off on ripping Yzerman. He’s drafted well and not pushed his young guys into situations that they can’t handle. If Larkin doesn’t get banged up and miss some games, the Wings would have made the POs. They’re a team on the rise. Larkin is a neglected star in the making. He is a player. Best Wing since Yzerman.
So in his 5 years he's been there they might not have made the playoffs maybe bubble, so what's their current core looks like going forward?

The Wings were 22nd and 29th this season in 5v5 GF% and xGF%. They were a good PP + smoke and mirrors.

Yzerman lucking out with a few picks, while blowing a ton of high value ones his whole career, and earning his reputation as an elite drafter and manager is its own smoke and mirrors trick. Ken Holland is proud.

Canes are cooking Rags. Plus staying out of the box limiting their PP too. Wonder if or when we will see Kreider go back to his old habit of running goalies.

Edit: that turned out different than expected

Pics? That sound amazing I need to see it

Edit: getting the feeling I might need to clarify that I’m not into pics of guys with big knockers, though I also want to clarify that there’s nothing wrong with that and I am by no means kink shaming I’m just saying that’s not my type
I should have snapped a pic, but I didn't....I'm sorry

Fake Stevie Y and fake Ken Holland really are great emulators of real life.

When the Rangers scores the second goal after the Canes missed some incredible chances, I said to my dad that I could see the Canes losing this; you could see how the soft goal sapped the players.

I apologize for bringing this to reality. :help:
