In Red Wings Land
10 games in, Detroit Red Wings not doing anything right | Freep
The Detroit Red Wings came into the season intending to shock.
And while they have managed to do just that, it hasn’t been as they desired.
Ouch.

After an encouraging start, the Detroit Red Wings appear to be who many thought they were – a rebuilding team thin on talent that figures to finish near the NHL’s basement again.
They have lost six in a row and what’s particularly discouraging is the way they’re losing – they’ve been outscored 27-9.
I think being outscored 27-9 supports the shockingly bad argument.

Anthony Mantha. Seven goals in nine games for the Red Wings forward. Obviously we knew he could score, with 49 goals over the past two seasons. And obviously, scoring five goals in your first two games is a great starting point. (He has leveled off since, scoring two in his next seven games.)

Steve Yzerman is wisely taking a patient approach in Detroit, but the tone of the rebuild will kick into gear when half of his top six — Anthony Mantha, Andreas Athanasiou and Tyler Bertuzzi — require significant raises.
Have we reached rock bottom?
