UNDEFEATED IN THE FABBRI ERA

Just win a game...

Narrator:

I've lived and died with this team since the mid-90s. A Red Wings loss has always been a huge bummer to me. That loss to Anaheim earlier this season (our first loss of the season)? Pissed me the hell off. I was so mad at Bertuzzi for turning the puck over and letting the Ducks back in the game when the Wings had pretty much locked down the win.
Fast forward a month to now and I'm just numb. 25 years of being upset over every loss and it took this team just a few weeks to overwrite that fundamental part of my programming. That's how incredibly bad this team has been since that outstanding, cathartic win in Montreal.
I don't know how hardcore Wings fans survived the Dead Things era.

I can't even be mad anymore. You've taken that away from me Red Wings, thanks.

FILAPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Was literally thinking of posting this.

Yeah I preached "maintaining the culture" for a while now
That maintaining all goes down the crapper if the season continues like this. May as well have scorched the earth if this was gonna be the result anyway.

Agreed. The team is possibly in danger of slipping into a very toxic "new normal" swamp of awfulness. This is my one serious concern.
Things will probably sort themselves out. We'll probably look back on this and conclude that it had to be this way. AA will probably start scoring at a decent clip and that alone will probably help make games closer and give us a little more mojo.
But in the here and now, this really sucks and I really hope Yzerman handles it the right way (whatever that may be).

It's not all about the losing for me. It's one thing to lose, most knew that this roster was a bottom 5 roster. The problem is the way we are losing. 5-6 goals a game against almost every game we appear to lose is shameful. Losing isn't just losing, sometimes the way we lose is really the problem. That winning culture the Red Wings want to persevered is long gone if we keep dropping games at 1-5. This is my biggest issue right now. I expect to lose most games, I don't expect to want them lose 1-5 almost every other night.

Looks like we've upgrade from 5 goals a game to 6 goals. 
Progress

combined with being a Wings fan....instant life suckage

Could be worst, could imagine being a Detroit Tiger fan.

A win at last.. I'll take it.

I mean call me a dirty libertarian, but let the Wings leave. Call their bluff. They won't go. If they did I would 100% walk and be done with the team. Good luck in Houston or wherever they go.
I would think the NHL would have some strong words for an original six team thinking of relocating.
