Detroit Redwings Downfall

[BFLO]

The Blues didn’t tank for a 1st or 2nd overall pick.

Blues

Try reading my post again, but this time with your monitor or phone screens turned on.

Here. I'll help.

"9 out of the last 10 cup winners had a 1st or 2nd overall on their roster."

The 1 team that didn't have a 1st or 2nd overall on the roster was the Blues. No need for you to "correct" me when they were already accounted for.

VGK were the only team with a 1st or 2nd overall on the roster who didn't tank for them.

Wait, did Bruins have a top draft pick?

"9 out of the last 10 cup winners had a 1st or 2nd overall on their roster."

The Bruins won the cup 13 years ago, which means they were not one of the last 10.

And only 1 team to have picked top 5 in any of the last 10 drafts has won the Cup. So, just maybe it takes a lot longer than posters want to admit.

This stat becomes a lot less meaningful once you realize that most teams in this league (23 out of 32) have a 1st or 2nd overall on their roster.

Ironically, the Wings do have a player drafted 1st overall on their roster, while the current best team in the league don't have anyone drafted before 7th.

Tarasenko must perform more.

Tarasenko is mediocre so far.

He is washed. They had all of last year to evaluate him. Hoping for anything above a savvy 50 point veteran player to be a 2nd line wheel/3rd line driver was wishful GMing.

Lol what’s with the attitude? Your first post was not particularly clear, multiple people misunderstood what you were trying to say.

I’ll feel a lot better once Lalonde is gone.

I'm surprised he's lasted this long honestly. NHL coaches are like motor oil, they get changed regularly.

I wish the Detroit Red Wings back on the winning track like in the old days.

I've grown impatient with people. My first post was perfectly clear. It's not surprising that multiple people misread it when slightly more than half the population in the US and Canada read at below a 6th grade level.

The very first sentence of my first post inferred the Blues as the 1 team of the last 10 cup winners to not have a 1st or 2nd overall on the roster. 2 people misread it and posted to tell me I forgot the Blues.

And another person posted to tell me I forgot the Bruins, despite the Bruins not being one of the last 10 cup winners.
