His article was very disrespectful to Yzerman. Burnside went beyond overboard with that. His article was very disrespectful to Yzerman.

Yzerman gave everything he had and when he was healthy last season he was able to be effective, particularly in the faceoff circle. It just worked out that his retirement happened to take place at a time when Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg finally started to produce in the playoffs. TC19,

Putting the blame on Yzerman for this team not winning is disgusting. It was Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Holmstrom, etc. that failed in the past, not Yzerman. They didn't get the job done. Yzerman was one of the Wings best players last year. Scott Burnside’s article is a joke. Putting the blame on Yzerman for this team not winning is disgusting.
