Red Wings have officially become a laughably bad hockey team following loss to Sharks
Do you ever reach the point of failure in which you just have to sit back and laugh? Yeah, that’s becoming the case for the Detroit Red Wings.
It’s official: The Detroit Red Wings have become such a laughably bad hockey team that, at least for the moment, I’m finding it shocking that Derek Lalonde still has a job. I mean, this was a borderline playoff team last season that is now sharing last place in the Atlantic Division with the rebuilding Montreal Canadiens, so maybe it’s worse than bad.
But can it seriously get any worse? Oh yes, it can, as the Red Wings are also tied with not just the Habs, but the Columbus Blue Jackets, with the lowest point totals in the Eastern Conference. If there’s any comfort in this situation, it’s that the Wings at least have a game in hand vs. the Canadiens, but is there really anything else to like here?
The Red Wings, somehow, allowed the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks to get the best of them amidst what could be a season-changing road trip. Oh, and guess how many points both teams have? If you said “16,” you guessed correctly, which officially defines the Red Wings as laughably bad at the moment.
Nobody expected such a debacle of a campaign for the Red Wings
Want even more fun? Detroit, despite showing at least some life offensively in both of those losses, with a third loss to the LA Kings sandwiched in between, they remain 29th in the league in goals scored with 46. Yeah, so much for the high-octane group that was unless your name’s Dylan Larkin, who’s about the only reason to tune into this team right now.
