Took Fri off and drove 8 hr from the U.P. to watch MTL get to every 50/50 puck first. We are slow, uninspired, and, except Seider, our defense is sorry indeed.
An already bad D losing 2 of their top 4 D in back to back games is pretty rough. First game had a lot of unfortunate bounces. Second game was ugly. Playoffs is out of the question at this point, it’s just a matter of who we can sell for assets now. Lalonde won’t be fired, but he won’t be re-signed either. This is just a season to see who they want to keep and who’s no longer a part of the future. And to think I was very excited coming into this year. Oh well
It's very plain to see that this team has completely given up Lalonde and are now a complete laughing stock. He should have been replaced last season or very quickly this season. My unofficial guess is that Chris Illich put the stops on it. Many business owners heard about the pandemic of 2025 and are guarding there assets/money right now. The NHL LOST alot of revenue last time.
As a Habs fan...Im honestly shocked and am obviously happy but I feel bad for Wings fans. I feel like this weekend really made the playoffs not much a option unfortunately. I think the lack of young star talent, only having Raymond, Seider and Evidsson as elite talent from the rebuild while Tarasenko and Kane are main parts of the teame offense is very concerning with their age. Why 2 guys 33+ are main factors in a team that's supposed to be coming out of a rebuild is mind boggling to me. I think if Wings fans can try to look past the name Yzerman, it might be time to consider a new direction because the lack of youth on a team in Detroits situation is so confusing. I know Kasper and Danielson have good potential but I wouldn't say elite like a Raymond for example, and thats no hate towards those two at all. I feel a bit of Kinship with Detroit, being the Hockey towns of our countries and original 6 teams that use essentially the same jerseys as 100+ years ago. So no hate at all just a honest analyst. PS: Locked on Red Wings was my #1 podcast on TH-cams Wrapped.
Getting a 2nd and 6th for Petry 50 percent contract from Edmonton seems realistic. Getting paid off by Kane may be tough. Merry Christmas, Red Wings Hagens would make a perfect leader in your system. 🎄
Yzerman won't fire Lalonde because Yzerman now understands that there were huge mistakes in his roster construction. The season is done so why punish Lalonde, who he likes, for his own mistakes? Whether it is to save face or simply out of a sense of loyalty, Yzerman will not fire Lalonde this late in a doomed season
This late? There is still 50 games left to play in a 82 game season 😂 I think he will be fired mid January if they don't go on a hot streak! Stevie is just waiting for his buddy Federov to be the HC of the Wings next year 🎉🎉🎉
I went from feeling somewhat positive going into the home and home, to wondering what the Wings could fetch in a miniature fire-sale for guys like Kane, Berggren, Lyon…
Kane is not for sale. He will always be where he wants. And after what Detroit has done to him to this year, he will not fetch you anything both bc his numbers have been horrific due to Lalonde and bc he will even if he chooses to leave intentionally limit his suitors to one team, as he did to the boy GM in Chicago who messed w him.
Losing Edvinsson to injury the last few games really messes up our D pairings. As a true fan i will continue to watch as many games as i can and if they win they win and if they lose i will be somewhat gratified with better draft lottery chance. The good news is that there is still 50 games to play and if the Wings go on a hot streak like they did a few different times last year they will make the playoffs 🎉🎉🎉
still top 5 oldest team in the NHL. yeah, also not a playoff team so....TANK because this was NEVER going to work. Accountability coming from the top soon. I'm guessing there trying to get through X-mas with no hope obviously.
I loved Walman, but he showed way too many times that he's not tough or aggressive enough in games. Good offense for a D man, but I could imagine in 7 game playoff series he would hurt the team more than the points he produces. He had to go to make room for Edvinsson. He is too wimpy to play with a beast like Seider!
They're a bad team, with a bad HC and a bad GM. LaLonde should've been fired weeks ago and Yzerman or Yzer God should be fired now for putting this mess together. It's year 6 of the 15 year Yzerplan to clean up Holland's crap and has produced NOTHING. Geez the jazz kissing of Yzerman is beyond ridiculous. Local media of the kid gloves treatment of Yzerman should've already stopped. Call it like it is...🤷🏻♂🤷🏻♂🤷🏻♂
I don't think Yzerman would tank but I think he might just let this team ride out the season as it is which would leave them in the lottery. The cost to acquire what they need during the season would be way too costly. Changing the coach doesn't fix their problems.
Changing the coach DOES fix their problems. Bc the biggest problem is the Raymond favoritism and constant screwing over of Kane, which destroys the team. When Kane is with who he wants to be, playing how he wants, and getting proper d pair usage for his line, guess what, team is magically actually ok. Any coach who plays Copp Cat Kane or Larkin Cat Kane full time, lets them play how Kane wants to play, and pairs them frequently w Seider's d pair, will instantly improve the team by like 900%. The Toronto and Philly wins and the 1st period vs MTL game 1 ( before he stopped letting that line have Seider) told me all I need to know about the subject. There is a competitive team in this roster despite all that's wrong w it, but Raymond isn't the star of it, and it's not boring and hyper focused on low event defense first hockey, so Lalonde doesn't want it.
Bring up Cossa for good, and BRING UP MORE KIDS, make the veterans accountable. It worked for the Tigers. Red Wings have too many ( much less costly) Javy Baezes. Shake this team up from its mediocrity.
The Red Wings aren't tanking? Are you serious? Spare me with the "fire Lalonde" rhetoric. Yzerman is the man who put this failing roster together. I've tuned out and gone back to watching three teams, the Panthers, the Bolts, and the Bruins. Call me when the Wings are competitive. For me, the moment the Wings turned into frauds is when they left the Western Conference. What have they done since they moved to the east? Nothing! My condolences to the two of you for having to watch this garbage.

Lalonde has to go for the sake of the team and the development of the younger players. Morale is low. Pull the plug, SY.
The plug should be pulled on Yzerman too, he put this MESS together.
Lifetime wings fan here.’
I’m for the boys time in and time out.
But I’m very close to sending this team to the sun.

I’m convinced that the griffins would do better than the red wings based on the give a shit meter
Our low shot attempts, our lack of rebound goals…no hustle, no speed, we rarely have the puck..we suck, hard to watch

Like I said… don’t expect the Wings going to the playoffs if Lalonde is here next year. Tank for a pick then.
tank how? what does that even mean? what does tanking MEAN? trade who? bring up who?
@@paulwt9783 paul you forgot to take your medication again today 😢
@@paulwt9783how are you a fan of any sports team and don't understand what tanking means.
What an awful performance. Such a joke of a team. I don't think we need to try and tank.... they are doing that on their own.

Yzerplan is failing, but no one wants to admit that!
Nah leave Cossa in GR rather than expose him to this disaster
Not that it wo😢matter but it's time for uncle fester to go

what does 'time to tank' even mean? trade who? which young guys are being held back?
Dupont Dupont Dupont🤞
3 words ...please fire Lalonde ! (Replace with Quenneville) !!!
No Quenneville but yes fire Lalonde
@@danb239agreed. Coach Q is a disgrace and distraction. Nothing more

detroit sports power poll: Lions 1st, Tigers 2nd, Pistons? 3rd, Red Wings 4th.

Trash trash and more trash, 3 people making 8 mil plus. No one on this team is playing like they even deserve a mil a season, absolute garbage

Yzerman needs to go. If he was any other person he would be fired.
Also if you're watching hockey for enjoyment don't watch the dead things lol
I disagree and truly believe you are a Goof
