Big push early to scoreboard advantage, don't let up.
No letdowns, late arrivals down the stretch for this club. If you get beat by the other team's best play, so be it, but don't be beaten for an early no show. That kind of play should be in this team's rearview....again.

This. Important to get off to an early lead. Detroit is getting better and better each year. They will give us a good game. Need to come out of this break on fire

Are they? They still look like trash to me. Larkin having a great year but he's a UFA. If he goes, what do they have left?
I think it's showing that Yzerman was surrounded by a lot of really sharp people in Tampa. In Detroit, given a freer hand, he's just surrounded himself with a bunch of other old hockey players with predictable results. He's made some terrible signings - Suter and Sundqvist got flagged in the UFA discussion but look at Andrew Copp with the long long deal and a career high of 53 points! He's 6th on the team in scoring with just 26 points this year after Yzerman bit hard on a good season. Ben Chiarot is their most expensive defenceman. They have a good one in Seider, who is still on his rookie deal, but outside of that? That blueline is WEAK.
Vrana is buried in the minors, because of some addiction issues? I'm not sure what that does for anyone. They should just find him a new home if they're going to punish him - the guy went and got help, after all.
It will be interesting to see what they do in the next month here. They have several unrestricted free agents besides Larkin, including Bertuzzi, Suter, and Maata. They're also bad and I don't think this team has the pieces on it to be much better next year. If I'm in Yzerman's shoes, I start selling immediately and just load up on prospects and picks. And fire all my old hockey buddies and try to find people who understand how to find value players and improve that team.
Although all that said, I have to give Yzerman credit - he has still fleeced Ken Holland a couple of times.
