This Good This Long

I remember back when this team was so bad they were called the Detroit Dead Things and were at the bottom of the league along with the Toronto Make Believes. That was a long time ago. Detroit not only has turned that around but is a perennial contender. How have they done it?

Ha! This made me laugh as I remember those days as well. I'm not sure how the turn around came about, but in general I feel like hockey players have gotten better and coaching has as well.

Lots of effort, trading, training, and a different type of thinking. I remember those days as well, but the only way to change a team is to train harder, trade for people who will help make a better team, and make sure they think and act like a winning team even if they aren't winning just yet.
