Majority of the team are rookies, New coach with little experience, the veteran D are Ericsson, Kronwall and a washed up Mike Green

Just lost our Captain, making playoffs for 25 straight years doesn't lead to very many high draft picks in the 1st round

Is it really all that shocking?

idk but having like 19 million on the bench feels great

Bertuzzi what a scum

Weak. Take em both

sad times for Det.....

damn it's crazy how close DET is to the cap and they are still so bad.

Total team mismanagement, they have to wait for those contracts to end lol

yup. really missing babphalis right now for a coach...

Either way, good Plek got a goal and won his 1000th game. good for him. and Drouin's goal. Drouin needed that too. but holy fucking shit... Det needs to figure something out, sooner then later... we have not started a season off this bad since 1980-81 season. which was 5 straight losses. now its six... not a good milestone to achieve... Gonna weather out this super bad year though. just because we are willing get raped pretty much, I won't bandwagon. still my team. just a really bloody lame one, this year lol

Ilitch let Yzerman walk to keep Holland around, Our contracts are horrible can't help but think Yzerman stepped down as lightning GM to come back in some sort of way

at least you have your 1st round pick
