The Wings have talented players. They've shown moements of absolute brilliance. They've shut down teams and had shutouts. The powerplay can do serious damage and the kill was good weeks ago. The only link that hasnt shined is the coach. He cant motivate his team. He cant find lines that work. He spent far too long on Husso. At this point, he's the issue in my eyes.
Problem with the wings is the same that's happening to a lot of teams, poor defense, poor goaltending. but getting good defensemen or goaltenders is difficult, especially that they are in such high demand. The game has really changed, the teams that are dominating atm have some of the best defensemen in the language, with this offensive defensemen strategies that payoff. Wings have the same issue as Toronto, they are stacking all their chips in their forward lineup, that only goes so far, and the wings don't have the same talented forwards as Toronto, nor should they. They need to be looking for a trade for a top tier defensemen, and a better goalie.
You can add a player like Kane, and even if he produces it’s still possible he made your team worse. There are metrics that aren’t tracked by sports journalists. For example, if you put two 50 goal scorers on a team, you don’t automatically end up with 100 goals. Because there are only so many powerplay chances, and 5v5 chances (the natural push and pull of momentum in games). Opponents will naturally play harder when they’re behind etc. So what happens is Kane scores 30, but the other guys on the team get -30 on the year. Or, for all we know, -40 on the year and your offence is -10. And this can’t be tracked but it’s very real. What’s the dynamic of the offence, who is quarterbacking it, and was it better than it was before??
This Wings team is sooo painful to watch!! Yes the goaltending has been subpar, but the defensive play of the guys on the ice has been totally nonexistent!! If you’re not going to play any type of defense then you better out score them! F’ing embarassing!!

Red Wings @ Jets
Welp looks like the wings season is done.
If Yzerman doesn't get some goaltending help soon, the Wings are toast!
Damn, Jets cut through the wings like a hot knife through butter lol

Feeling foolish because I actually thought the red wings would have a successful comeback season.. Same ole dead wings
Vilardi is soo good can't believe Chevy got him
"What a cute little pass that is"😂
I think they better fine goalie fast or we r going be in basement can't believe it wow goalie goalie bad,
Reimer is very meh as a goaltender, kinda hard to believe he's still in the league imo
If I’m Stevie Y I’m taking a long look at the coach right now. Guy can’t get this team going at all. Need someone with some emotion!
Almost red wings
Wing's defense has been pathetic lately
Idk . I haven't liked the starting line combinations since the redwings have added Kane .
They left Reimer high and dry on 3 goals. The Jets are playing as well as anyone now.
Red wings D needs work. Jets scored few easy goals and no one picked up the man

Cheeky foot pass by Ehlers on the 5th goal

Kane missing his rangers rn
"How the mighty are fallen!" II Sam 1:25. Jets are playing well, but the Wings looked more like a Paul McCartney band than a hockey team.
