One Dozen Game Days

03/20/2017 at 6:28pm EDT

12 more games left in Mr. Holland's Opus.

The team you built, Kenny, is on the verge of some Harkness-like shit.

The team you built, Kenny, designed to waste the final years of Hank Zetterberg's career, can hit the links in 12 working days.

12 more games until we can attempt to view this organ-I-zation with optimism, look forward to a lukeward draft class, anticipate some fervent tire kicking and another 1 July that is actually different than years past in that signing a big name UFA would be absolutely stupid, even by Holland standards, if the Wings are going to ice another team like this one.

It disgusts me how negative I've become regarding our Red Wings. Truly. I've lost my sense of humor and I just want this garbage season over with.

12 more games and this season of utter discontent (minus that six-gamer, boy) is done. Let the full-on rebuild begin in earnest.

Let it begin, despite the fact that I can't envision it. I can't envision it because Holland hasn't prepared for a rebuild. He's done nothing but stave, stave, stave. He allowed this team to deteriorate little by little, season by season. That's no way to rebuild from a shit heap.

Mediocrity, Kenny. It's a wicked drug and your addiction to it has placed us where we are today.

It's a Live Blog, bitches. LGRW and FKH ASAP.

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
