Detroit Redwings Downfall

[Zetterberg4Captain]

I see the Red Wings and Canadiens are both having there annual post Christmas/New Years win streaks. I’ll be back in a few weeks to update myself.

Is that better or worse than the annual Leafs April losing streak?

Habs started losing more after they traded Monahan, a clear tanking/rebuilding move.

This year, it's Dvorak, Savard and possibly Evans. The first two will probably be replaced by Beck and Mailloux, who are doing great in the AHL, after TDL and I'm not sure what they'll do with Evans, but the drop off will definitely be less than when they traded Monahan.

Talking crap even when the team wins a little... wait till they lose one bad and this thread is flooded by guys waiting in the bushes that have been baited with comments.

we just beat the best and the second best teams in the league

And that changes the strength of schedule how?

Well if it strength of schedule matters and you beat the top 2 teams, then presumably you can beat the teams below them as well, assuming one is predicting wins/losses based on opponents records..

If strength of schedule dosent matter then well...frankly...it disent matter ever

Are you asking if it’s better or worse to make the playoffs?

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

The Wings not only beat two of the top 3 teams in the league, but looked damn good while doing so. I don't know how non-fans aren't at least kind of impressed.

No I'm asking if you consider losing in April is considered winning

No, he's asking is it better to have an annual winning streak after the holiday or an annual losing streak come April playoffs?

 

[LeafsNet]

You came in a wings thread and tossed in the habs. I’d have to agree with that guy

Funny that all the usual suspects have vanished. Maybe red wings fans aren’t all f***ing crazy and were on to something when we said Lalonde is a dog shit terrible coach?

I wasn't being mean, I'm just big on statistics and trends that's all. Just relax, it's only game.

No looks like rent free, like poster said.

Same thing with different words, no?

Losing in the playoffs requires winning enough to actually make it. Seems pretty cut and dry that it’s better than a January winning streak.

I’ll take a January winning streak over the leafs playoff failures. All that talent and Jack Pooopie to show for it.

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing. Not making the playoffs after 25 years + 4 cups or having a boatload of generational talent and all they have is a clap on the back for playing another 6-7 games and failing again.

I’d say the worst leaf record, is never having won 3 rounds ever.

That’s not fair.

You have no idea how they fare on the golf course in May.

Credit to them, they are playing really well since the coaching change.
