Blake has set the franchise back 10 years easily. We are back to the Dave Taylor era. Decent teams who are fringe playoff teams but never serious as a contender. Which results in bad draft picks. Mediocrity continues.
Preach, John!
He’s only partially right. I don’t think the fan base at large would be upset to let Blake go. I will say fans I encounter outside Reddit don’t hate Robitaille as much as this sub.
I’d argue that Stevie Y did pretty well building up Tampa Bay.
Add in Luc and it’s even worse.
Yzerman shouldn’t be on the list because of how much he did for Tampa, but the Detroit rebuild has taken forever. UrinatingTree calls this the “Boys Club” (Michael Lewis said the same shit for baseball in Moneyball”), and it annoys the crap out of me.
Fire Blake and Robitaille and I will start watching this team again. No point while the clown show is in charge, we all know the team has already peaked under that regime.
You have to wonder how far this team would have gone had they not played the Oilers in the first round 3 years in a row..
