All your top and valuable players are literally on pace to play 80 or more games, lol. The most anyone in almost your entire roster has missed is 10 games or so. Lol.
Look at your goal differential last 4 years. Only last year was respectable. The others years, atrocious, near the worst of the league. Even this year a brutal -21. 2nd worst in the entire conference.
Everybody knows Yzerman really starts cooking in his second decade, just a few more years and the #DynastyBegins
Not sure how there is a downfall if they were at rock bottom and have been slowly progressing year after year.
I think people forget how the mortgaged the future in order to make a historic consecutive year after year playoff streak.
Some bad drafting and holding onto the “streak” for too long left the team with literally 0 prospects of value.
Fast forward to 2024-2025 season… every red wings fan was hoping for them to make the playoffs; bad start to the year under ex-coach Lalonde (who if I may add was always a stopgap coach. This team wasn’t ready to win anything under his tenure in Detroit), Lalonde gets fired and the team gets fired up with Todd back behind the bench.
Fast track to today (March 8, 2025) this team despite a horrible losing streak is still in the hunt for a playoff spot and is still just a couple of points out. There is still a fair chance of them finally getting back into the playoffs.
In all honesty as a red wings fan, patience are running low and it would be nice for this team to finally be back in the same form as they were in the early 2000s and late 90s, but the league has changed since those days. Drafting and developing is the winning recipe. So far drafting has been very above average. The prospect pool which was once empty is now looking pretty full with some neat talents. Developing is in progress, this team is still a few years out from making noise in the playoffs, but making I this year would be a tremendous success, but I’m not surprised if come the second week of April, there is no post season games for this team to play.
…you people need to be patient and realistic with expectations… Like a bunch of junior high students getting upset when the senior girl denies you at a school dance….
