The Detroit Red Wings rounded out their California road trip losing in OT to the Sharks, gaining just 1 out of a possible 6 points in Cali. Another game where they were consistently hemmed in and dominated at 5v5. Is this it for Derek Lalonde? The only productive players is Larkin, DeBrincat and Raymond along with the powerplay. #LGRW

On Today's Show: Pain
This whole season can be summed up as "I spent the day in a meeting that should have been an email"
For a supposedly defensively focused structure based coach, he has managed to take this level of talent and produced the most disjointed looking defense, outside of the top line, I have seen in a number of years. This is CLEAR regression. Heads need to roll here and Lalonde is at the helm of this sinking ship.
Coach needs to go
That’s what I was saying. This much talent should not be horrible. This is bad! Look at our roster! WTF! Fire this coach!
Ill fix the redwings right now for free – Fire Lalonde, take Petry out behind the barn, let Rasmussen, Compher and Fischer get claimed on waivers, healthy scratch chiarot, Call up Danielson, Johannes and Mazur/Soderblom and walinder/Buium, recall buchelnikov and pelikka to GR. There maybe we will win some games.
“It’s low event hockey, but just for us.”
– Scott Bentley quote of the day
Honestly, I don’t think I’m going to watch any more games this season until the Wings can pull above .600 win percentage (which is very VERY unlikely). It’s just a waste of everyone’s time. Take the income away from the organization that we all love, maybe we can make the organization take a deep look at what what’s been done with the team and make some management personnel changes. Unacceptable for an Original 6 franchise. I feel like a fair weather fan, even though I’ve sat through every game for the last 12-13 years. Where’s the point where you just draw the line?
Let’s look at the positives. Kasper has played well above his expected. Maybe not on the score sheet but all around play. Edvisson jumping on the top line and solidified himself as the go to guy on the left side. Also a bad year would remove Lalonde at some point. 2025 opens cap space and makes some of the bad contracts at least movable while players like asp might be ready to play. I would love to see 2025 with a better coach.
What exactly is the Yzerplan? Does anyone know? This is a serious question.
This is just embarrassing. Hard to watch
I used to be pumped up for Red Wings hockey season every year. The last 4 years, I've cared less and less about the Red Wings. I went to 1 game in the new arena drove 5 hours and paid big bucks for glass seats. Only to get threatened to be kicked out for tapping the glass as they battled on the boards right in front of me 10 min into the game. Everything about the Red Wings is a joke. Last year, I had the game play in the background and would only look at the TV if I heard of a play being made. This year, I haven't watched half of their games yet. I really could care less. I can't even get my kids to watch the games because they find them very boring. That's sad as hell. And the Red Wings are the biggest joke in professional NA sports…. maybe even worldwide since they are a popular global team.
Hey, Wayne Gretzky tried to coach….Maybe it's Steve Yzerman's turn ! If not STEVE., then hire Joel Quenneville now. Don't waite. Nothing is going to change. Don"t look a gift horse in the mouth !! You will increase our likelyhood to win each night by at least 50% instantly !!!
You said it, Lalonde is not the guy for a b KANE, TERADANKO, DEBRINCAT OFFENSE. But you know who is? JOEL QUENNEVILLE, that is who !!! It's PROVEN !
Thanks so much for the episode Scotty and Brian, you guys are the GOATs of Red Wings podcasting, really appreciate you guys staying up until 2 am doing an episode for us after an extremely frustrating and boring loss.
Yzerman definitely does NOT need to go ! He is building this team through the draft for about the (2027 season through 2030+ ) HE IS ON A DIFFERENT TIME LINE THEN YOU ….HELLLOOOOOOO…….How often do we have to repeat this at nauseum ??? Are you deaf or just a MORON TROLL??? he has developed/created great cap management for THAT timeline, when ALL of the ELITE prospects are going to be on the team, that Yzerman built ! For those that did not get it before, STOP WHINING because you get it NOW ! The reaaon he is slow rolling it, is because he is building the team in the CAP era; and CAP management is everything if you want rebuild us back into a LONG TERM GREAT FRANCHISE again ! (NOTE-MANY of the players we have today on the roster are not even part of the long term Yzerplan. They are just plase holders). He has openly stated this since the begging years !! Multiple times !!! Come on man…use your head !
Yzerman does NOT have to go! But LALONDE must go !! It's a shame, because I was rooting for him ! Unfortunately he was in way over his head !!
At this point, the only way I put the wings game on is if I’m in bed, or at the dinner table. I have absolutely no motivation to watch this team or go to a game. Sad state of red wings hockey. Lalondes gotta go, this roster needs to be slightly sold and re tooled. Big draft for scoring and skill, might as well get one more high end draft pick and try again. Good thing I root for the capitals too, something positive and fun to watch and root for
The Cali trip was just embarrassing.
Hang in there boys, we appreciate you.
I disagree this is on Yzerman. The team plays with no passion, except for a few guys. This is totally on the coach or the team leadership. We have all seen how Larks prides himself on effort and leads by example-he isn’t the problem. For whatever reason, the coaching staff doesn’t seem to inspire them to play.
I would tend to believe a change in coach will get everyone’s attention, and depending on the coach accountability becomes a major point and things change immediately
The Wings flat out blow. They stink. They wreak. These guys don't deserve to be anywhere near an NHL arena.
Stop blaming the coach…this roster is atrocious
Patrick Kane gone
Gustuvsan gone
Tarasinko gone
Holl gone
Im sure im missing a few
Steve Yzerman gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Yzerman MUST GO!!!!!!!!
From the outside, the Red Wings look like a horseshit organization.
Convince me otherwise
They have looked lethargic most of the season. Not a very good watch right now.
"Today on Locked on Red Wings…..Endless pain" 😂😂😂
Same old comments. All these teams are in a parity league. There are 8 teams that have 7-8 wins. All these other teams must all " get outplayed" every night. Having the puck more than the other team doesn't mean you have been outplayed . Team Canada and Team Canada can get beat by Switzerland on any given night, boring but effective.
How the coach counters and deploys his players can change the outcome. But how can you improve when you have Petry and Holl? Tough.
Look at the other teams goals . Are they highlights NO. Just mostly luck. Wings have no luck. I hope after the weekend they have passed all the other teams that have 7 or 8 wins. Possible if the Wings can figure it out.
Win or lose the comments will still be the same.
How about those griffins
GET RID OF CHIAROT IF YOU DO NOTHING ELSE GET RID OF CHIAROT – Stop using the coach as a scape goat as if we don't have terrible contracts with Chiarot, Petry, Holl, Compher and Copp. Not to mention a bad contract with Chiarot. Did I also mention we have a bad contract with Chiarot? Not only that, we also have a terrible defenseman in Chiarot.
I been saying not one true d- man on whole team to small to soft to weak .not one tough guy on whole dam team .wake up up stevie y soft hockey is over time to go back to 90 s hockey team was soft enough last year and now they soft like dont squeeze the charmin . You know toilet paper.like right where we are at again the toilet.maybe it time to hang it up captain
Jim Montgomery is free now. He has to be an improvement. And Gretzky said, you miss every shot you don't take. Seems like our guys have been told to ignore that advice.
LGRW
People who keep talking about contracts are all NUTs. You always want GMs to pay the players the going rates from like 3-4 years earnlier. You do realize they have agents …. right? Would you work at your job for the pre Covid wage ???? Of course not, so get a clue and get off your high horse about contracts. Yzerman , is just trying put together some reasonable players on the team to bide time until 2026/27 + when the players his management team drafted, are all developed to play in Detroit. You all know that and are just being impatient as hell. The last rebuild they did took about 13 years ! THIS team does need a real coach, however ! Newsy apparently has lost the room and the r Oster is mid pack on paper.. A proven stanley cup winning coach could definitely get this team playing a much more exciting and successful brand of hockey that we could at least be proud to watch. I'm not sure if Joel Quenneville would be interested in coming here, but I sure do hope so….and ASAP !!!
I say drop all the old players and let the kids play…..guided by Federov!
I honestly don’t think the players want to play for Newsy anymore. That’s why we’re seeing such uninspired play. He’s lost the locker room with his weak ass system.
