Holland must have overlooked how his team choked in 2003, 2004 and 2006 against teams that were never heard of after those seasons. Anything can happen in one series or one year. It's what you do every year that counts. This team has been bounced in the first round three of the last four seasons. The one time we weren't we won game 7 on the road against Anaheim, and then fell apart against Chicago.

The last three seasons have shown that 2013 was a fluke (almost) playoff run. Not a building block for success. Holland can go eat s***.

I agree. He references those three series in almost every interview. I 100% believe HE believes his own crap.

Wait what Datsyuk might leave after this year???

If we miss the playoffs, I could care less. May as well clean house. He's better off playing in Russia with Kovalchuk than having Richards and Helm as linemates.

LA kings maybe?

Nah, that would be too bandwagonish. They've already won a few Cups. Florida has a cool mascot, Jaromir Jagr and a bunch of young euros with skill (like we used to have).

This team needs to spend some serious time strength training in the off-season. I don't remember ever seeing so many Detroit players so easily knocked off the puck.

This might be the biggest defense we've had in 15 years physically. It didn't matter in the past because we had skill from small guys like Rafalski, Lidstrom and Schneider. Skill is now missing, but the soft attitude is the same, regardless of how big some of our defensemen are.

There is nothing physical about this def

On paper there is. They just don't play like it.

I didn't want to post this in the playoff % thread, but what is the % chance that Blashill returns next season?

any other team he would be gone

with the wings he will still be here
