GM Steve Yzerman of the Detroit Red Wings made a harrowing statement about the (lack of winning) culture of the team, which Dylan Larkin has been the captain of, has no identity but has plays in arena named after a pizza chain, Little Caesar's.
The Detroit Red Wings haven't found themselves in the playoffs since 2016, Dylan Larkin's rookie year in the NHL.
Since then, the team has been down in the dumps, as they've gone through multiple coaching changes, and an ongoing rebuild.
GM Steve Yzerman felt that an analogy to best describe the Red Wings' culture at the moment is a losing one.
He believes that it's a matter of willpower for the Red Wings to stop the bleeding and decide to change it up on their own.
He says losing clubs do nothing but eat crap all day long. To change things, it's up to them to decide they're done dining on crap.
He's worried that the team has become too accustomed to losing.
Does that mean they'll be losers forever? No, but he'll definitely need them to decide when they want to get out of this slump.
«We need to be better,» the Detroit GM said. «I'm trying to give you a good answer. I'm not sure I can come up with one because it's a very good question.
Todd McLellan's sleight of hand turned the team around quickly this season. His handywork wasn't enough to put the team on the right path.
Dylan Larkin would later take some shots at Steve Yzerman whom he was too modest at the trade deadline. He felt the team had no momentum after that.
Nearly a decade of losing is enough to dishearten everyone, and it may be true enough confidence is needed by the Red Wings players to embrace winning once again.
But do they know how to win, and how to win? Keep a lead?
