Yea, they're still trying, just not as hard as they should be. I was flipping back and forth between Det/Nash and Mtl/Bos, I couldn't help but notice the difference in intensity.
I'm a huge fan of guys like Yzerman, Shannahan, Hull, etc, but I think it would do them some good to lose a few of their hall of famers. I'd love to see a Detroit team led by guys like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Deveraux, etc. I think those guys would still play with the "hunger" and intensity that some of the big stars are lacking at this point in their career.
So yea, long story short, you can't outshoot somebody 40-10 in 2+ periods without trying. (as much as I hate to) I have to give credit to Nashville, they've got the hunger and intensity, etc.
