James Neal - Needs an elite center to be effective. Has the luxury of playing with Malkin and Crosby.Brad Marchand - Will never be anything more than a superpest who hovers around 20-25 goals, and his scoring won't carry into his 30's. Marian Hossa - This one I'll grant you, although aging and recently beset by injuries. Martin Havlat - Are you kidding me? Almost completely worthless at this point. Has not done a thing in years. Last time he was effective was in a Blackhawks jersey. David Backes - See Brad Marchand, although a little tougher. Evander Kane - Again...are you kidding me? Shows flashes once in a while but produces nowhere near his potential. Constantly embroiled in some trade discussion. I question his attitude, work ethic and commitment to the Jets. David Legwand - Another "Are you kidding me?" player. Has never been anything more than decent offensively. Rises to the top lines because he's the least inept of all the Predators' forwards on offense. Leading a franchise who has never had a truly great offensive player in offensive categories does not impress me. Ryan Kesler - I would grant you this one a few years ago. Hasn't been the same player since the injury. He will never get back to 40 goals.

Ah, the classic fan reaction to a new player who struggles out of the gate. Somehow, these 30 games erase every second he's ever played in the NHL. Remarkably, he was never as good as people said, or any good, for that matter. People, he didn't just forget how to play hockey overnight. We see the stat line. We get it. Beating a dead horse isn't going to make him magically produce. He's a good hockey player who did a lot with a little in Florida. If every player should be bounced 30 games into a 5-year deal for a rough stretch, no one would stick anywhere.

I thought that's what he said! Hopefully he has actual cause to use it in that way tonight

Getzlaf's terrible 'stache makes the whole thing even worse.

I never predict scores, but I can see Weiss tallying a goal and an assist tonight. I'd love to see him get THAT game under his belt. And, on another note, am I the only one who thought Ken Daniels said Weiss' name after Tatar's goal last night? Or am I just going nuts?

I lost faith, and I was proved stupid. Thank you, boys, for proving me stupid.

Horrible call but I'll take it!

Get Weiss the puck both on this PP and if the net gets emptied. Get him something to get home going.

Gustavsson...WHY???

This power-play makes me physically ill.

Oh! My bad, didn't realize, Lol. In that case, the Wings will never score another goal for the rest of time.

Tell me about how confident you were in the offense up until that point.

Joey!! Way to go! Drew Miller once again getting involved.

This reeks of a goose-egg on the scoreboard at the end of the night.

God, this team is awful.

There is absolutely no offense being generated.

Kindl has been dangerously terrible this year. It's disheartening, honestly.

The hockey IQ got sucked out of the group when DeKeyser went down.

This game certainly feels like a shutout loss. At least thus far.

Thank God. This team has fallen apart without he and Z in the lineup. Awful game against Philly transitions into an awful first period against the Devils.

Maybe a little. I wouldn't say much better. Still a ton of wide-open shooters.

Awful. They haven't done one thing right thus far. Possession's not there. Defense sucks. It's like the third period against Philly never ended.

Isn't that four consecutive PP goals against?

The way they're playing, that might be game over right there.

Wow, awful. What a horrible effort so far.
