  1. The veteran goalies and defense men are a means to an end. They will be replaced by really good prospects in the near future. This teams roster will change drastically the next few years, which was the plan when you hired all these old guys. They are place holders. The real win here is the improvement of reymond, sieder, and edvisson. I agree with getting a new coach but thats about it.

  2. God it hurts my ears listening to flannel talk. Its like he doesnt watch the games and only cares about stats.
    Sure, some of the d signing were "bad", but Id love to hear who would have been the better signing for good value at the time?
    Also, as a middle of the pack team, they WILL go through stretches of win streaks and losing streaks. You cant blame the season on 1 bad stretch because you will go crazy. They could have easily lost games they were able to win just as much as they could have won more games they should have lost.
    And, you really think Lalonde is really the issue because hes calm in the interviews and think hes the same in the locker room? You think he doesnt call out his players? He even said in an presser that he does call out his players and has hard discussions with them behind closed doors. Just because he doesnt publicly criticise his players doesnt mean it doesnt happen behind the scenes. This isnt the nfl. Coaches in the nhl are mostly calm during pressers and interviews and everything happens behind the closed doors.
    Also you sign vets to help the younger players, its not like the nfl where a rookie can just slot in and be fine. If you do, you become Buffalo, just alot of young talent with 0 guidance.
    You really think any of the guys in the locker room are just "happy to be here"? I dare you to go ahead and ask Larks, Perron, Copp that question and accuse them of just being "happy to be here". But you wont, so I guess you guys are softer than tissue.
    How can you sit there and say the wings didnt take a step? They went from out of playoff contention at the trade deadline to fighting for playoff contention at game 82. Yes they ultimately didnt make it, yes, losing streaks, blah blah blah. But they learned some hard lessons this season and will grow from it.
    God I cant wait for Neal and DMac to rip you a new one.

  3. Flannel made some valid points. In hindsight, Petry and Holl were bad, but they were a backstop because not everyone was sure about Edvinson recovery from injury at the start of the season. Not sure u could do about the goaltending, you dont mortgage your future for an old goaltender. Maybe there is a move to be made on one of Boston goalies. The only thing i blame Yzerman for, this year, was not forcing Edvinson in the roster quicker. I wanted him at the start of the year, and his growing on the team would have only improved the team, now and in the future.

  4. The Red Wings were one of the worst teams down that stretch, and right before that they were one of the best teams in the NHL. And guess what? They're a .500 team and they found their average.
    "FIRE LALONDE THEY LOST TO ARIZONA TWICE!" Yet everyone is talking about the Caps coach for Jack Adams and they got blown out by Arizona 6-0 and 5-2

  5. Andrew Copp & Robby Fabri have to go…… Holl & chariot are trash and wasting cap space. (Also petry)

    Sign a better second like center and another top 9 forward, outside of Sieder, Wallman, and Ghost. Get rid of everyone & bring other D-men in.

    Continue to focus on defense mainly in the draft and sign another filler goalie to backup Lyon and Husso ( or finally addressing the problem helps).

  6. In the year 2024, how is it that the Flyers weren’t aware they were mathematically eliminated prior to pulling their goalie in a tie game?

  7. Inconsistent effort and lack of the coaching staff holding people accountable was a common thread throughout the season. In the end, that theme screwed the Red Wings. Lalonde deserves to be dismissed (but he won’t be)

  8. Hey Kyle Szwed, Larkin is not getting traded. That’s insane. He’s not only one of the best players he’s also the leader. Not to mention you’re not likely to get proper value for that trade. You aren’t getting 3 first round picks.

  9. Flannel has to go back to what ever job he had before!!!!! PLEASE STOP LETTING THIS MAN TALK!!!!! YOU NO CLUE ABOUT SPORTS BRO. STAY BEHIND THE SCENES!!!!!

  10. Flannel you dont know hockey man this is sad they recovered from that 7 game win streak and it came down to the last game of the year and the team has improved every year since stevie got here from 39 points to 91 points and missing the playoffs on a dumb tie breaker stevie has taken the shit show from holland and he has turned it around so much the bad contacts the no prospects he has cleaned up the books got us probably the best prospect pool in the nhl and with no lottery luck drafted seider who goes top 3 in a re draft and raymond who goes number 2 in a redraft and buddy stop harping on the 5 12 and 2 strech they recovered they won all three of there last games witch were all must win games and i believe they tied all three with under a min left won 2 in ot and the last one in a shootout they clutched up at the end of the season and showed they can fight and they wanted to make playoffs and that they wanna win no one is just happy to be there what a joke you would even say that the wings have always had something when there bad or good they work hard they put in effort every game dont give me that just happy to be here crap what a joke and lalonde is a good coach just because he is calm in the media doesnt mean he is like that in the locker room he has said he is hard on players holds them accountable and had hard conversations with them and he is a winning coach he won with tampa i have faith in him stevie chose him and yeah maybe stevie didnt make amazing dman free agent signings but there wasnt really manh available he added what he could and ya maybe we didnt need to trade for petry i agree with that 100 percent but getting debrincat and kaner a plus moves sprong and compher very good moves too the defense ghost was solid holl was awful and petry was ok edvinsson tho came in and looked very good so he should make the team next year overall we are really only in like year 3 of our rebuild stevie had to clear the books and id say with our prospect pool and the young guys on the team already we will be a dangerous team for 25 plus years agian and im looking forward to it i believe in stevie and you know what to be honest we kinda need more lottery picks to offset use not getting a top 3 pick but number 14 or 15 whatever we will have is brutal we chose to pick going for the playoffs and we just missed out so now stevie has to work his magic and pick the right player at 14 or 15 and then next year i know we will make playoffs

  11. Yzerman hasn't found the right head coach yet. Jeff Blashill was never going to get it done and should have been fired after his second season and Derek Lalonde hasn't proven he can get it done. Need a head coach with NHL winning experience.

  12. All the flaws this team had were there all season. This team was a peak and valley team. The whole season seemed to be broken down into streaks of run hot and streaks of awful. We never really saw what they really were, which is an average .500 team. Which is why they were so frustrating. Looking forward to what Yzerman thinks of the season and how well it matches what all the talking heads have been spouting the last 6 weeks or so.

  13. Flannel is insufferable to listen to. Dudes gotta punchable face if ever I’ve seen one. Fuckin statist nerd.

  14. When there’s no defense or goalies available for singing, you don’t have the pick of the litter, you have the left overs to choose from and hope they do good.

  15. I don‘t know the guy with the flannel,but he doesn‘t know the game and the work of a GM.

  16. In my lifetime the lions haven't done shit. The Red Wings won four Stanley Cup. They will get there again and win a cup before the Lions win a superbowl.
