Todd McLellan and Select Player Press Conference | Dec. 27, 2024
Red Wings head coach Todd McLellan, Moritz Seider, Dylan Larkin and Patrick Kane (26:02) speak to the media following Detroit’s morning skate at Little Caesars Arena on Friday December 27, 2024.
Everyone needs to stop criticizing the team if u do that your clearly not a real fan and you need to go band wagon florida or vancover or some team where u can stop complaining about issues, the real fans stick through thick and thin however long it takes for the team to be good again, without heckling your own team.
It's two issues. First, the coaching hasn't been good. The players tuned out Lalonde and the system wasn't tailored to the talent. Second, we have too many older veterans who have no business playing significant minutes in the NHL in 2024/25. Todd and his staff is a big upgrade. Next, we need to part ways with certain veterans and replace them with trades and young players.
Yeah but some of this Stevie Y s fault to .how come we don't hit ppl how come we didn't get a tough d- man in off season why did we get rid of perron how come moriz seider isn't aloud to hit any more.thst is on Stevie Y not lalonde
How about banning media availability after a loss? How about after losing THE ENTIRE TEAM shuts the F up and looks at the reels and hits the gym for an hour instead of recapping their miscues for the brain dead press corps? Make losing painful, boring or embarrassing and maybe they'll decide they won't accept it anymore.
You could just tell by the responses of Larkin and Kane; they are glad to move forward from lalonde. Expect a win tonight. Probably a fluke win; but, especially being since the Leafs are struggling themselves, wouldn't be surprised if each of these 3 guys gets a point. Really excited to see how this new tandem improves the penalty kill and, more importantly, improves what we have here in defenseman.
Wait, and where is San Jose now? Near dead last? Theyre not even developing Celebrini, the supposed "Top Pick Prospect of the Draft". Theyre already using him theyre so desperate. I think Iginla has played once. Theyre developing his game while Celebrinis already on the ice, and earning that paycheck, right? Sharks suck!
Love how he is upfront and straight forward. Also shoutout to him for mentioning the post game preferences with the players. Everyone needs to be held with accountability
Temper your expectations. Heās coming in mid-season and itās gonna take a bit to change things around. Clearly he knows where the team is in terms of vibes so I think heāll at least be able to clean that up by the end of the season.
This is the coach we need. Detroit needs someone gritty that says holds players accountable and gives them a reason to play, we don't need someone telling us we can't or we shouldn't be here, or there's no stars in the room. You disrespect the guys in that room, they don't want to play for you at all. A good coach doesn't teach players how to play, he teaches them how to play for him. There's a reason Torts's players want to run through a wall for him.

Trade the captain next, get some real toughness and character
Relieffffffffffff
Larkin needs to get himself together…. i mean, my God, the dude looks like he's stressed to the max and about to cry over this clearly good thing.
Go Wings!!!
Now THAT is how a head coach should talk. Great presser! What a contrast to his predecessor.
THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVESš

Great coach
Well, if we haven't reversed fortunes, we've at least reversed hairlines.
Look at the difference in size between Seider and the other 2 guys. lol he's huge.
Iām excited!!

Sounds like Jesse Venturaš I love it
Excited ā¦ I hope Todd is the spark this team needs moving forward .
Thank God no more… the analytics were good. Lalonde should never coach again, should be in jail.

Glad Steve picked this man šš»
Bring up Todd Nelson as assistant
The Toddfather has returned
Love how he is upfront and straight forward. Also shoutout to him for mentioning the post game preferences with the players. Everyone needs to be held with accountability

love what he said about the different aspects of physicality, already can tell this head coach is going to be better than lalondeā¤
I like what Coach had to say…just the way he carries himself and his understanding of the game.
Welcome back! He was a great assistant coach under Babs for 4 years and won a cup. This is a great move.
Bring back hey hey hockeytown šØš this generation for a rebuild is an embarrassment,…"LET'S GO REDWINGS"
pop off poppa todd, love the way this man talks
We lost Uncle Fester and gained Golem!
Seider didn't answer in a vague way, I wonder what that relationship was like

im hyped. like he said dont expect a big change tonight they dont have time
Still worried about Larkin. His monotone responses and 1000-mile stare don't fill me with confidence.
