I would welcome a coaching change to disavow Kenny of the notion that this team has enough talent to make the playoffs anytime soon. Just eliminate coaching as an excuse. If that is what you need to evaluate your team in a brutally honest fashion, so be it.
This team lacks elite talent. The sooner posters realize this the better. At some point over the last twenty years Wings fans (and perhaps even Holland) started taking our elite players for granted. The gulf between elite and complimentary is enormous. I don't care what Holland tells Wings fans, very few players have the capacity to bridge that gulf.
I really really liked the start of the game. Sadly, as others have identified, this team cannot link together multiple stretches of good play.
