Sportsnet’s Justin Bourne has posted an article in which he writes two sentences describing the expectations for every NHL team, and here’s what he has to say about the Red Wings:
Detroit Red Wings: It’s actually strange to look back at last season and remember the Red Wings only missed the playoffs by a tiebreaker with Washington, as most of the time they seemed unthreatening and mostly just “OK” (which checks out when it comes to the final playoff spot in the East last year). Their off-season was defined by absolutely treading water with their in/out list, and retaining their good players, so they seem primed for…91 points again, maybe?
Continued; the Red Wings and their fan base believe that the team can improve. Everybody else believes they’re going to tread water at best, if not decline behind the respective rises of the Senators and Sabres.
It’s the Red Wings Vs. the World this season.
