I really don't know where Detroit goes from here?

Are they rebuilding?

Are they competing?

Are they caught in NHL purgatory?

I keep hearing cool buzzwords from their fans.

Placeholders, Yzerplan, over ripen, needs another year in Grand Rapids, doesn't fit our timeline, blah blah blah.

Ahead of schedule.

Behind schedule.

Shut up and don't you dare question Yzerman!

Best prospect pool in the NHL.

Yeah ok.

But why is Yzerman signing so many UFA's each summer? 🙄

Maybe I need Darren McCarty to talk down to me and tell me what to think?

He knows it all.

Just ask him. 🤔

"This is the Yzerplan. You know. The Yzerplan. Trust the Yzerplan. It's great. It's perfect. You should be so lucky as Red Wings fans to have the Yzerplan."

"Stevie Y never makes a mistake. Ever."

Yeah, thanks Darren. 😬

Just ask Yzerman for a job, ok?

Maybe you can fill the water bottles on the bench?

Sharpen skates?

Paul Boyer already does that.

Sorry, Darren.

You're too high to be the Zamboni driver. 😬

My guess is purgatory, hoping for a first round exit at best, Minnesota fans will understand.

Don't sign any money ufas and play the kids, it's obvious they stepped on the gas too early.

I don't think it's too late to play the kids.

But will they? 🙄

They brought Lalonde in and told us he's a good defensive coach and works good with young guys but I don't see any of that. There's just too many questions and no answers at this point

Lalonde was hired because he was lucky enough to be on Tampa's coaching staff and Yzerman likes people he knows.

I haven't seen anything special about him.

I've never seen a team full of so many vets make so many defensive mistakes before.

There's just something flawed about the way they play defense especially in their own zone.

It's like a Chinese fire drill.
