- Coach Lalonde sits down with Ken Kal to talk what he will bring to the Detroit Red Wings hockey club.
Lalonde was introduced as 28th head coach in Red Wings history on Friday July 1, 2022.
I do like that Detroit is already "we/us" for him.
Lightning fan here, you guys are lucky! Lalonde is an amazing coach and strategist. I’ll be rooting for you all as long as Lalonde and Yzerman are running the show!
was rooting for you guys as well Nick if the RW aren't winning have to get behind the team Stevie pretty much built
We “WINGED WHEEL” LOVERS look at y’all like “RED WINGS SOUTH!”, your Team was built by our CAPTAIN!!!
And thank You!!!
Bolts fan here, will definitely miss you on the bench, coach.
Good luck.
Holy cow a coach that doesn't go, "ummmmm" every 2 seconds 😳😖 No excuses with this man, completely straight forward and motivation to be great anywhere he is 👍 This is honestly a really exciting opportunity for everyone I believe from the GM all the way down to the fans to be working with what seems to be a quality guy 😎 Looking forward to what the future holds!
most hockey players, coaches and gm's all say um every 5 seconds lol. it's required in their contracts lol
@@JarradBruessel32 Pretty much a requirement and probably a question on the application or in the interview process lol 🤣 But it's nice to hear someone that has clear thinking and motivation to complete the goals that have been bestowed on him along with his own goals. Hopefully he keeps this same attitude and motivation transferring that into his coaching! If he does this year and the following years are going to get interesting for both the team and for the fans! I just can't wait to see how things roll out!
Hey dont hate, Yzerman's presser yesterday/day before he Um's every second...he has done it since the 90s and does it today lol..
@@benson43 I wasn't talking about Yzerman... He can Umm all he wants because he's proven himself... Im talking about Blashills mindless permanent brain fart ummmmming's
except at 2:11 where he does it every other word
Lightning fan here, ya’ll got a good one. Happy to see him get a shot at the HC job, just sad he left Tampa! Good luck!
Such an important answer; "Family occupies everything." The strength of a leader at home impacts what he does on the job. Best of luck Newsy!
Things are going in the right direction with this excellent choice to lead the Wings. You can tell “excuses” aren’t in his vocabulary. Accountability is. This man is a winner.
I totally agree!!! The Wings are going to be a solid team in years to come!!!
@bone-snypa Not just like Blashill. Blashill was never an assistant in the NHL. He went straight from AHL head coach to NHL head coach. Yes, he did have one of the worst rosters the Wings have ever had, but a change was still needed, and Lalonde has won two cups in the NHL as an assistant coach. He has far more experience of winning at the NHL level than Blashill.
@bone-snypa Inconsistency has to be a huge factor here. Season went like 📈📉📈📉. They could win against top teams and then gets absolutely embarassed the next game.
@@willsmithmachine5244 pretty typical for a young roster. Ups and downs thru a season. All those early wins in the beginning of the season are typical against higher echelon teams. It’s a different story come February Wings just got beat plain and simple by better teams
@@flippy66 he was an assistant on a stacked Tampa team. Until I see what Lalonde can do With this Wings team he is on the same level as Blash. Now this season coming up will be interesting. I’m sure the players will have to take a bit of time to adjust to Lalonde’s systems
I'm so excited for the next season. Have a great feeling about this coach.
Best of luck, looking forward to the new season. ❤️
No humming and hawing, this guy means what he says, and says what he means.
hemming.
@@bacongworld Thanks wasn’t exactly sure how to properly spell the phrase
You know uhhh we like our guys uhhh real compete outta the guys uhhhh
@@jonathangarmuth8975 it’s about the process
@@tristanmcguire4820 no thank you, i came off like a dick
I like this coach. He's been very successful and he seems like a players coach. I think he will do well with our young guys coming up.
Yeah I’m excited for this season more now, I don’t think we could’ve got a better coach!
Nice work Stevie! 👍
Great questions Kenny!
Cassidy and Montgomery are almost certainly better coaches at this point, having won in the NHL as head coaches. DeBoer and Maurice have successful histories as head coaches in juniors as well as in the NHL. Any of them would have been an excellent choice for the Red Wings. Lalonde may yet prove to be the best choice, but he's never been an NHL head coach, and as such is an unknown quantity at this time. The Red Wings are acquiring young players who need the experience of a HC who's done it before and can lead them. As it is now, Lalonde will be learning his new job at the same time young players are looking for guidance. I think Lalonde is a good choice, but may not be the best choice.
@@johnalexander3694 trust stevie y, he will show how good LaLonde really is
I will admit I was ready to be disappointed because yzerman said he was going to look everywhere and it was obvious a while ago this is where he was going all along - but I can see why - what a great person - so straight forward honest guy . I'm sure he will work well with Steve Y - notice they said he is a work a holic also - I think yzerman loves that
Welcome to Detroit Sir! I see great things coming!
Very thoughtful bloke, he’s really considered in his answers - Cheers Stevie!
I think it's great that we've got Dr Evil as our head coach, pretty badass
LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I’m glad he talked about our defense and that is a big goal on getting corrected. Goalies can only do so much. If you have a good defense; you can tire out the opposing team and open up chances for goals.
exactly. I don't like how he mentioned about in goal because nedeljkovic wasn't the problem last year. I'm pretty sure he got injured but kept playing on it because greiss was already injured and when he wasn't he was awful and then pickard also got hurt.
@@JarradBruessel32 Derek will probably get more up to speed with the team in the coming weeks
@@JarradBruessel32 He got tired and looked very shaky towards the end of the season, even factoring in Detroits bad defense. First time for him playing a full season so you can give him the benefit of the doubt but he was pretty inconsistent.
@@wyattbarnes9641 on January 17th things went to hell for him right after that game so I think he got injured during the game or in practice between that and his next game on January 21st where he allowed 5 on 32 to Dallas in an OT loss. We still don't know the injury he had that made it so he couldn't play in the world championships. They just said a lower body injury is the reason he isn't playing and he is going back home. They never once said when it occured or what got hurt. Just that he couldn't play on it. Which makes me think he got hurt after the 17th of January and the red wings just kept it quiet. Yzerman said nothing but positive things about neldy so I think Yzerman knew exactly what was happening.
@@JarradBruessel32 I was at that game in buffalo on the 17th. Ned got bumped around a little bit in that game around his crease. wonder if he tweaked something a little
This is a no nonsense coach. He will not tolerate excuses and will hold players accountable. This is Detroit Red Wings hockey.
Good coach, hasn't had a losing record with a team at any level in any role in almost 20 years, generally beloeved by players, and tough but thoughtful and fair.
I am 5000% here for Coach Gru (er, Lalonde)
Day one, boys are running suicides until their legs are dust and defense drills until its muscle memory
He hasn't won the Stanley cup with the Red Wings, already? Give him about one game before some fans will question his coaching decisions! (g)
Seriously. This is the type of guy I wanted to see them hire. I did not want a head coach who has been fired by other NHL teams. Somebody experienced, but was getting a first chance at being an NHL head coach.
He's won multiple Coach of the Year awards, and 2 cups, I think he'll be at least 10 times better than Blashill at an NHL level.
I wish the Jets would have gone this direction but I guess with our current GM this won't happen. Good luck Detroit fans looks like an exciting hire!
@@terryprice6122 I don't think blashill was a bad coach, just time to move on. if he came in at the time stevie did it would have been different. He was handed a roster by holland that was built to just make the playoffs and that's it then holland traded futures for guys on their last legs. Blashill worked with what he was given. Stevie said a lot of it was more on the roster Blashill was given but it was time to move on. The reason blashill was fired was mainly due to the fact our defensive game started falling apart after January 1st. We still didn't have a roster that could win anything or even make the playoffs. Hronek needs to go he is horrible in his own end. Lindstrom needs to go too he is horrible at defense. Dekeyser needs to go. Those 3 were horrible this year. Then the forwards need to learn to cover their man as well. Too often were our forwards letting guys get wide open. Rasmussen, zadina and erne all were bad.
@@tallmantoo you guys need to work on your defense badly which bowness will do. Hellebuyck is getting more cooked than a hockey puck.
@@JarradBruessel32 can you educate me why everyone brings up his defensive prowess yet he has a losing record! If his teams had excellent defense with some scoring wouldn't he have a winnimg record? Maybe I'm wrong and he'll be great just seems we are getting an old has been coach.
Yeah, I have to admit, I'm impressed by him.
BIG things happening in Detroit... excited for Newsy! LGRW!!
Ah the lighting, Yzerman's personal farm team 🤣 very greatful to have you! LGRW
I am glad Blash did find a job pretty quick though!
We will miss ya here in Tampa Lolonde.
Im confident in Lalonde and I hope he does well as the head coach of the wings
I’ll be looking forward to the lil rivalry between Coop and Lalonde during the regular season between the two clubs. Ya gotta think Lalonde wants to to bring his best each game against his old partner in Tampa
Ya gotta think being a fake fan just to try and bash the team online when people get excited about things has got to get old but no you red wings haters are still so salty about the dominant franchise.
Which they are soon to be again and it starts next season. No blash and all of those signings its a wrap little boi. Red wings are in it. And you can't handle it.
I am super stoked for the Detroit Red Wings and fellow fans cause Coach Lalonde is gonna make us contenders for the Stanley Cup. LGRW!!!!!!
Yeah in like 5 years
@@davidkruse4030 cup contenders in like 3 or 4 years I think once more of the young guys are here
@@JarradBruessel32 around 2028 I think is pretty reasonable to have high expectations for a cup
@@davidkruse4030 Thanks Nostradamus. Good to know it won't be a 40 year wait.
@@Nall412 yeah. Maybe 2027. It depends really. I laugh that some morons are saying yzerman should be fired because we haven't made playoffs yet.
Love the attitude and the thoughtful ability to convey it! can't wait for this season.
Great interview!
Ok I wasn’t excited at all at this hire. But after this interview I’m very excited and realize that’s he’s exactly what we need.
Nice to hear someone talking like a real person and not putting on an act. With Blashill you only ever got stock answers with this fake sounding, monotone voice.
I'm liking this hire. Stevie has a good track record for hiring the right people. This will take some time though.
Best at luck for you and the RED WINGS..
It hard not to like this guy very well spoken and the knowledge he'll bring he's going to do a great job
I was at one game this year at Amalie vs Det... The rookies, fabbri, and bertuzzi were non-existent that game, my hope is that he pushes our stars harder rather than sideline or dump em
Might be a reach, but his direct, intelligent communication, and years as a really good assistant coach, reminds me of Belichick. Just do your job; trust the plan.
Have you earned your redwings? I have
FINALLY NO MORE BLASHILL. THANK YOU
OUR NEW FOLLICALLY CHALLENGED KING
Another big big mistake ...
Great interview. Love his mindset of just being best where you are. Welcome to Detroit, Coach Lalonde!
Haven’t seen this man coach for our Red Wings yet but one thing I’ll say is just off hearing him speak a bit I really like the guy… will see what that translates too but he seems solid! Lets go Red Wings!!! Bring us back to the promise land 🤞🤞
Compared to Bash, you gotta love this dudes character already 🥵. Very well spoken an can articulate his thoughts well.
Doesn't seem that long ago I was watching Jeff Blashill doing one of these sit-down interviews.
Optimism reigns supreme in the summer.
Very well spoken.
"Coach, ya need one more!"
"My team is on the floor."
Looks like an excellent choice by Yzerman. Nice to see some positive comments here rather than the 4th grade analysis from many Wings fans on other SM making fun of him.
Detroit born living in the PNW. Jon Cooper used to rub me the wrong way because he kept crushing the Wings in the regular season and playoffs. Part of it was my completely irrational thought of not thinking hockey belonged in warm weather. I listened to Cooper’s interview on Spittin’ Chiclets and was blindsided by his entire regime and how he coaches and treats his guys. If Derek is anything like Coop, which I’m sure he is, The Wings are set. Everything Steve touches turns to hockey gold. LFGRW!
The Red Wing Way
Can he avoid letting in 11 goals in one game i'm happy.
HIS DAUGHTER IS IN GYM?! Oh man perfect HC Hire S Tier Best Coach in Hockey
I’m excited. Let’s go Red Wings
Very happy with this hire! LGRW
I hope Derek has success in Detroit.
Future Coach of the Year right here.
LGRW

Ryan McDonough is getting traded.. would be great paired with Hronek Also to help mentor Seider and Edvinsson he also probably has a fantastic relationship with Derek
Great thoughts Gavin. Palat or Killorn might be available too.
🤡
Arizona is looking to move Jakob Chychrun, an all-star D at 24 who is under contract for three more years. He should be our #1 target. Offer Zadina and either Larkin or Bertuzzi for Chychrun + high draft picks. Larkin's contract is up this season and he will want $9M+ AAV, and he's not worth that.
@@johnalexander3694 You seem to not be paying attention to our prospects. Adding a veteran player with cup rings and high defensive skill is way more valuable than getting another young unproven d man. Getting rid of our hardest working player that is a point per game talent with a losing team would be a huge setback. I wouldn't be surprised as well if Larkin took less money because he will do anything to stay in his hometown.
@@Kalvarius Chychrun is anything but unproven, he is borderline elite and but for having to unload Datsyuk's contract, Chychrun would have been wearing the winged wheel since 2016 draft.
Love the passion behind the history of the team. Some of our guys need that. To know this is hockeytown and we dont fuck around
Thinking about who might be brought on to coach the defense; maybe Bob Boughner?
Sergei? Igor? I dunno hopefully somebody great.
Kronwall
Isn’t Nick Lidstrom available for a defensive coach position?!? 🤣. Imagine how sick our D would be with #5 running things! 🤯
@@eshockeybreaks1720 he has a More important role
@@DerpDerpityDerp sergei is a head coach in Russia and just won a title. Why would he come here to be an assistant?
Give me blash and glen back please
Why?
Who was Glen?
@@Nall412 the best
@@brodyhess5553 lmao. I’m blanking here. Glen? You mean one of the associate coach for Wings this past season. The guy who worked on the defence?
I didn't have a problem with Blash but I will admit that Lalonde definitely seems like an upgrade
Cant wait to see what he can do for the organization!
I can hear the Cheers from OLYMPIA still Resounding in My Memory ……. And this Chap IS what Hockeytown Needs Now !!!! ✨🏒💫
