The Athletic’s Dom Luszczyszyn and Sean Gentille are back with a set of power rankings this week, and I had a feeling that their sarcasm would reach a fever pitch with the Wings at 0-3-and-1 over their past four games. I was not disappointed:
Record: 4-5-2
Last Week: 18
Dom rank: 27
Sean rank: 29Dom: The Red Wings lost back-to-back games in Canada. Would’ve been sick as hell if their leading goal scorer was there to help, but alas.
Sean: Using his day off to have a great time online, no doubt.
Continued (paywall); I’m the first person to tell you that I disagree with Tyler Bertuzzi’s decision to miss 9 Canadian games, $450,000 and let down his teammates over the sake of not taking a shot, but the puns sting like a needle in the arm.
Shit, the thing I can’t figure out is why so many of the same people who defended Bertuzzi’s “courage” in not taking a shot are the same people who are insisting that Dylan Larkin is being a selfish bastard for stepping away from the team for personal reasons, but that’s just me…
