Most important presser of the year so far and the majority of questions can't even be deciphered. Thank you Chris Ilitch again for being a cheap, billion dollar franchise just struggling to be professional.
centers centers centers… you cant have every center playing 1 or more positions above were their talent level is. It's one of the biggest problems i see night in and night out, compher does admirable work barely treading water at 2c, copp is at best 4th line veleno 4th line. This is why Danielson should have stayed up to see if you have the 2nd line center you need, and kasper comes in this year playing 3c and you can move off copp with a buyout, or trade veleno.
it's going to be hilarious when all the "fire lalonde" regurgitators don't know what to do when this team keep failing. until they have a real leader as captain, they will continue to lose
I know people are frustrated with Yzerman, but do remember he wants us to be setup for the long haul. He’s done a good job of making the team competitive considering where we were when Holland left. Yes, not quite the year we wanted as fans. The plan he had in the off-season hasn’t panned out with Tarasanko and Gustafsson, but hopefully McLellan will help. Always thought our defense was trash under LaLonde. Newsey seemed like an awesome guy, but it was move that had to be done. Stay patient y’all. It’s tough, but the team will be better when the younger kids come up. They’re just starting to climb up to the show.
I hope this coaching change make a difference. This season our team has felt subpar personnel wise. I never felt it was on the coach. Best of luck to Newzy in the future, He coached in the USHL while I was there and always had great teams and was loved by his guys.

he looked a little frazzled in this one. haven’t felt that before
Fire the media guys next, hardly ever get to hear the questions asked, just Yzerman randomly speaking.

Cannot hear the questions. Come on…
Trade Copp and Compher
It's a tough league to win in. A top 5 draft pick in 2025 wouldn't be bad.
He seems pissed!
It seemed like Newsy’s structure didn’t line up with the types of players Steve brought in.
But, offensive players do need to have some kind of defensive responsibility it just seemed like they were handcuffed.
We have a tough next 10 games coming too!
LGRW!!!
Can we get a microphone for the media people? Jesus guys come on this is a PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM WORTH BILLIONS.

In the 2025 nhl entry draft, the Detroit redwings select, from Boston college…. James Hagens.

I think having a coach who isn't either an assistant or an ahl coach will be a nice change of pace for this team.
This shtick is getting old. He’s so annoying to listen to.
