No Datsyuk to bail them out, Zetterberg skates like he's 60 now and the defense is a mess. Not to mention too many over the hill grinders and this is what ya get. The real question I have is what do Wings fans think of Blashill as a coach? I haven't watched him enough to really gauge how effective his tactics and line combos are...

The reality is, we lack any form of elite talent which is the difference maker in today's NHL. The Wings are a team that hasnt had any youth really step in, which was always a saviour in the past to bridge the gap to the next generation... so now, they are a middling club with middling players.
Many around here Blashill for the Wings woes, but I dont, not with this bunch of guys. I mean, lets get real here.... how good were the Wings going to be? playoff at best.
I mentioned this yesterday, the only bright spots we have are Howard, Sproul, AA and some potentials in Larkin, Bertuzzi and Mantha.
going to be a long year in motown, finally the other NHL fan bases get their wish and see a DET-less playoff year.
