Why do the Red Wings Work So Hard Just to Lose in the Post Season?

I have been watching the Detroit Red Wings since the mid 1980s. I never thought they would have won the Stanley Cup in the 1980s, inspite of the great team which was put togeather starting with that Canadian Steve Yzerman ending the 1980s. I estimated how many Stanley Cups the Red Wings should have won based on what they did in the regular season. It came up to 12. The Detroit Redwings had the capacity of being one of the great sports franchises in the history of any sport...maybe. They only won 2 in the 1990s. Now, I am wondering what is wrong with this team? Every year, it is the same story. Detroit wins home court through out the playoffs and then lose to some unexpected team or a team which came up second or third in the conference or division. When will the Detroit Redwings "ever" play up to their potential when it comes to the playoffs? Why do they always lose? Yet sports writers call this a "Yankees" hockey team? I call them under achievers. I do not expect them to win any Stanley Cups in the future until they completely change the team. They need to get players who are "hungry" for the Stanley Cup. Not players who just stand around and do nothing or are a step too slow.
