Man listening to Lalonde is brutal.
If the Detroit fricking Lions, in year 2 of their rebuild, can come within one game of the postseason, and then follow it up with a Conference Championship appearance, then we should expect at least a playoff birth in year 6 of the Wings' rebuild after also missing the playoffs by one game. Including the kids getting roster time. And if they fail, the Steve Yzerplan can hop on the first train to Firedsville.holytoledo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 10:23 pmMan, IDK. We gotta let Perron, Gost, at least one of Fischer and Sprong go and upgrade RD somehow behind Seider.
Johansson, Kasper, Mazur & Berggren if we don’t move him all deserve a real shot at the roster.
Definitely not me.winged wheel wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 10:00 pm I was pretty close in my season prediction of 96 pts and narrowly missing the playoffs.
That 7 game losing streak with no points really did damage to their playoff chances. They gave their all in the end, but the Caps deserved it.
Who would have thought they'd be in it at the end with Husso only starting 19 games?

I don't know if that's fully true. I remember a lot of blacked out home Lions games I couldn't watch because they weren't selling out. Joe Dumars won two Championships as a player, won a Championship as GM in year 4 and had five consecutive years of conference championship appearances, and he was chased off when the Pistons started sucking. I've seen a general shift from fans blindly "trusting the Yzerplan" to slowly losing patience with Yzerman and questioning his roster decisions over the past couple seasons.CoconutBackwards wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 1:01 pmKen Holland's stupid ass said rebuilds take ten years.Barbrady wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 10:40 pmIf the Detroit fricking Lions, in year 2 of their rebuild, can come within one game of the postseason, and then follow it up with a Conference Championship appearance, then we should expect at least a playoff birth in year 6 of the Wings' rebuild after also missing the playoffs by one game.

Most people in this city will be content to pump money into the Wings with zero expectations and the Yzermen here won't say anything with him at the helm.
The Lions were trash for 50 + years and the morons here kept filling the stadium regardless.
I think for casual fans that this is definitely true. Generally speaking the closer someone follows the team, the less they trust the Yzerplan but there are still a lot of homers in that group.CoconutBackwards wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:21 pm Agree to disagree on the people not supporting Yzerman.
I feel like he's still given 100% blind faith and is not questioned/criticized nearly enough.
We're on the Ken Holland path to rebuilds.
It's bullshit to say people who support Yzerman give the guy blind faith. I support Yzerman, but am on the record in several threads with serious criticism. I am not the only one.CoconutBackwards wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:21 pm Agree to disagree on the people not supporting Yzerman.
