So pardon my ignorance on the topic, as I've only been a Wings fan since '94 or so when I caught my first NHL game on tv and they happened to be playing, but did the "Dead Things" of the 80's look worse than this? I'm not sure how that could be possible. 7 shots on goal in a period... all of them about as dangerous as a marshmallow, lack of defensive coverage, poor goaltending, no checking worth speaking of, no forecheck, no backcheck. Did the "Dead Things" lose every game 12-0 or what?

Anyway... this season is pretty much circling the bowl. These days I barely get excited on game day. It's really somewhat depressing.

C'mon boys! PLEASE TURN IT ON!!!

Yes.

Even thinking this team is anything like the Dead Things just shows how good we've had it.

In 86 they won 17 games and lost 57, in a division so weak it was called the Snore-is division instead of Norris. They were entertaining to watch because of guys like Stevie, Probert, and Kocur. And every win was exciting because they'd been bad for so long, it was a glimmer of hope.

This team is nowhere near the Dead Things.

Take a gander at their stats from the late 60s to the late 80s.
