Dylan Larkin, JT Compher, Derek Lalonde Post Game Comments vs STL | Dec. 23, 2024
Dylan Larkin, JT Compher, and Derek Lalonde speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the St. Louis Blues on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena.
The team looks like they're are have NO FUN playing at all. The team is a jumbled mess and while the roster is not good, it shouldn't be a jumbled mess. Getting the most out of what you have is the coaches job and he's failing. I think Lalonde could be a could coach for a team with talent but I'm not sure he knows how to deal with a building roster that isn't very good. Remember he came from Tampa with a Stanley Cup roster.
No, wait.. sorry! I take it back, do not fire LaLonde, I repeat.. DO NOT FIRE LALONDE! He’s leading the team straight into the dumpster juice at the bottom of the league where we can get great draft position and a real #1 center with generational talent and great picks from rounds 2-4. He’s the only guy that can get us there. Go Newsy!!!! 😭
Giving up too much? You have ZERO offense, and spend the entire night in your own end. The breakout doesn't exist. It seems like every player is just trying to get to the red line to dump it in, but we don't have the speed to retrieve the puck. Our defense works like crazy to clear a puck, but all they really do is flip the puck out, right back to them, and the next pair gets to come on to try to do the same thing. It's a mess of a product with very few redeeming qualities, and it needs to be blown up completely. There is no excuse for having 5 shots through half of a hockey game, and we have done that multiple times this year. Even worse, no one is coming to save us. Sure, we have some prospects, but none of them are the saviors. We are looking square at 5 more years of shit hockey, and by that time I can't imagine many fans will be left.
You need the break???? You honestly think that the guys will go home, open some presents, east some turkey, and come Friday will be good to go? A team takes on the personality of their head coach, and when that guy has ZERO fire you play with ZERO fire. When he started talking about positives I wanted to reach through the screen and smack him. When you get shut out 4 – 0, and have 5 shots through half the game, you don't talk about positives. No one wants to hear it.
Listening to Lalonde is annoying. This team is gone. If Yzerman cant make the change then its time for someone else to do it. They say you only make the change if you think you can be better but I think can you get any worse not making a change.
Were in the h*ll is Steve Yzerman? Why is he not doing anything at all right now? Come out of hibernation Steve! This is a proud historic franchise not freaking buffalo or columbus
its pretty easy, don't depend on 88 and 11 to make magic for you. force offensive situations with your own merits. Lalonde needs to go. dude has no idea how to handle this roster
I suffer with these well-paid players who are forced to play under such substandard leadership Yzerman has put together here.
Unless the owner understands what a crappy product he has created when it is booed off the ice, the next natural step is to stay away from the arena altogether. Visitor numbers have been steadily declining for several years. Visitors on various web platforms have also been steadily declining when it comes to RW fans, like myself.
My son is just back from deployment with the US Army & I was seriously thinking of paying the big $$ to go to a game but after these last few games (on top of the last month) there’s no way. I can’t afford to spend that kind of money only to feel like I want to throw up. This team – all of them – needs to wake up!

Just. Go home. Don't bother showing up to work in the morning. Newsy, the patch, it's all garbage now

It genuinely doesn’t look like half of them want to play in Detroit
No, wait.. sorry!

Hopefully Yzerman will come out of hibernation and start acting like a GM, cause this is only gonna get worse.

Merry Christmas Red Wings and chat
Why?
There’s no excuses you all don’t want to be there.
Maybe an empty LCA every night might make you earn your pay. 🤷🏻♂️
It's an embarrassment to the city of Detroit whom preach grit and team play!!
This is pathetic. Trade Larkin asap. Terrible captain.
You got boo'ed off the ice in one of the most die hard hockey cities…… something needs to change. Figure it out.
Defense did great? Mo did great. I watched holl let a forward in the blue line like he was opening a door at the hotel.

Anyone know where Steve yzerman is? How this guy can avoid media questioning is amazing
