  2. so many thoughtless and careless turnovers. just flinging the puck without fuckin lookin. our board play has been figured out by opponents for a while, it's not surprising anyone anymore. figure it out please.

  8. This team overall is SOFT! Sad to say but think it is time for Yzerman to go. And he can take several from this "core" as well. Appleton was a terrible addition. We need a true second line center. Raymond needs to be playing better. How long we going to let this type of play go before we make major changes?

  11. I see a lot of husbands turned into wives because they somehow got fooled into thinking we are a complete team this year. Its ok if you're gullible and still wet the bed your mommy will be by soon. 😂 On a serious note for those that still have their wits; I think judging by what we have seen this season we will need to see some serious front office action in the off season about who is and isn't on this team next year. Its clear they don't have sustainability so movement needs to happen to help improve the scoring of this team. Move who you have to and get better. Gotta nip this in the butt asap.

  17. Yzerbots are quieter lately. Almost as if some of us told you not to get carried away. Time for Stevie to go and people need to seperate Stevie from the player to the GM. Can't score more than one of Stuart "The Sieve" Skinner when you're "fighting" for a Play-Off spot? haha! Offensively the team is trash and McLellan's brand of hockey is awful. Playing dump and chase when none of our guys can grind or be physical. Wings pick up the wins when teams aren't battling as hard and as soon as teams go into Play-Off mode, they can't compete. Also we have 3 more years of Shiterot haha. Also crazy how freaking SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW this team is.

  18. This 100% Yzerman’s mess! Everyone praised the captain coming home! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! Other than Raymond ALL his prospects are failing. Free agents, other than Debrincat are all average to bad. He should’ve NEVER come back!

  20. Loser team. Time to blow this thing up. Start trading veteran guys away and just get as much Draft Capital as possible because they aren’t gonna take the next step and actually go deep in the playoffs!

  22. Detroit Red Wings, last 12 games

    Alex DeBrincat, Patrick Kane, Moritz Seider, Dylan Larkin: (4 players):

    41 GP, 46 points

    Everyone else (20 players):

    175 GP, 35 points

    3/24 are a point per game or better in this stretch.

    20/24 are a half a point per game or worse.

    It is what it is. There's clearly 2-3 guys at most who seem serious about the stretch run and the situation when it arrived. Beyond Cat and Kane I've liked some of Copp's effort including being out there at all after the injury. Larkin's been awful since coming back but at least he's been popping in a couple power play goals here and there. Compher stepped up when needed when the 2 centers went down. Everyone else… including Gibson… not good.

  23. Tigers are starting to join the Illich losers. He really loves these clown shows. I hope no one buys his streaming package. Find a good IPTV and watch the opponents' feeds.

  26. Get LARKIN out of here. Been saying it for years. Yzerman has an indefinite contract so we know he won't be gone. 80% of this roster needs to bounce.

  27. Speaking of the last 12 games, here's an interesting and not at all good stat:

    Hits
    Moritz Seider 11
    Lucas Raymond 10
    Patrick Kane 9

    Good on Ray and Kane, WHY does Seider only have 11 hits tho in 12 games, at a time when clearly there is such emphasis on it that even the little non contact scoring forwards are throwing some?

  30. I love the way some of the D do these weak ass flips of the puck right to the opponent’s D so another shot gets launched through traffic because they’re also losing battles in front of the net. Can’t breakout and cant clear their zone. Chiarot’s been pretty bad at that but not the only one. One of his ended up in the net tonight. What are they doing well right now? We’re approaching 🔥 it down territory.

  31. Crazy the Wings are still not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet. I see a very slim chance they qualify by the way they are playing.

  35. New captain time. I love Larkin but this team needs a fresh start from inside the locker room. McClellan is worth his salt. Say what you want about Yzerman but he was a buyer at the deadline. The buck stops with the guys on the ice. There is zero culture with this franchise right now. The past 3 March’s never happen with the captains that have come before.

  37. Copp you can have a big piece in taking this team somewhere
    You're an old dog and it's youth and inexperience everywhere up front
    You and the old dogs have to shepherd them when their play cools or when the stakes are raised and it's flat out hockey
    Playing your good game but even more than that
    They got to see you guys operate shift to shift and know what to do
    What not to do
    Possession game Or giving up possession game Hunt turnover game Call a penalty
    Handling what the game turns into and how to be successful
    You and Dylan Kane van Riemsdyk debrincat compher Appleton Perron Faulk Chairot Gibson Talbot
    Put them on your shoulder and show them the way
    You guys have seen the league
    Help them get more involved and make good reads and play with more strategy you guys know already
    The basics really but how important they are this time of year against nhl caliber that play flat out and know how to win
    Our youth can go flat out but make them understand the direction
    Then they can help take over this team and start carrying you guys to more success
    This team needs it from you Andrew and all the old dogs
    Show them how it has to get done out there

  38. Yzerman needs some new players you just can’t run this back next year. Compher, Appleton, Perron, JVR, Rasmussen, Kane all need to go. Faulk was a horrible pickup I said it at the time why are you giving up a 1st for this dude when there are other RD you can sign this summer so dumb man

  42. Too many replaceable players playing meaningful minutes….. that about sums it up. Sorry Larks the state of Michigan loves you no matter what

  43. How can you listen to Larkin and walk away thinking he's a leader? He thought they played well? Just look at his eyes, he looks like he's going to go sob to his mommy, "the penguins beat our ass mommy, it's not fair". Trade him while people still remember his Olympic goal and before they realize he's the consistent issue plaguing the team for the past eight years.

  44. I have figured out the cause of the 'March Curse'. When march approaches, all the teams that are in a position to make the playoffs realize and accept that they as a Yeam, they need to play at a higher level… play with more skill and my heart. The wings as a TEAM can not match that intensity and tenacity.
    Who's fault is that… the 'Yzerplan, coaching, the the TEAM, or a few select players that are just 'jerseys.

    What i don't like seeing with the TEAM, is that they are sad about losing… instead of being PISSED OFF.

  45. Keeping the outside "noise" out? Maybe you soft losers should hear some of it. You think you played "well" for 2/3 of that game?? LOL go collect your checks. 93 is the only Detroit Red Wing.

  46. Todd talks about Larkin like he's 20. He's 30, & the captain of the DRW FFS. My coaches in squirt hockey were harder on us than these pampered teenage girls. Get this season over with. You've failed again x4 & your former fans can't stand watching you. Incredible that you get paid to do this on repeat. Rain down BOOOOOOs on these idiots.
