Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tabe" data-source="post: 52586" data-attributes="member: 342">Their offense is the same one they've had for the last couple years - incredibly soft.  They have no goal scorers on their roster.  None.  They haven't had one since Marian Hossa.  Franzen is the closest thing they've got and he disappears for long stretches.  You're right about their power play - what they do simply doesn't work.  Hell, what they do with their regular offense simply doesn't work.  Basically what's happened is that the years and years of drafting late in the game has caught up with them.  All they've drafted for years is 3rd and 4th line guys and overrated Europeans that haven't been able to score once they get to the NHL.  In the past, they were able to trade for guys or sign free agents but that seems to have disappeared as well.  Meanwhile, Datsyuk is 35 and Z, Franzen, Kronwall, and pretty much every other decent player on the roster, are all over 30.I wouldn't be surprised if Detroit missed the playoffs.  Which, quite frankly, might not be a bad thing.Tabe</blockquote>
