Jonatan Berggren, Alex Lyon, Todd McLellan Post Game Comments vs PIT | Dec. 31, 2024
Jonatan Berggren, Alex Lyon, and Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the Penguins at Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday December 31, 2024.
McLellan is totally going to change the culture. Already see a total difference in just a few games. Would like to see Bergy and Kasper with Kane on the 2nd line!
Transition game looks much better, playing with a purpose. 600 wins for coach, thats gotta feel good! Beating the Pens always feels extra special (to me at least) LGRW 🐙🏒🤘
I really, really like this coach. Todd is the light we have been waiting for, for some time now. Thank you Steve for making a change! And it appears to be the right change!
If you really pay close attention these last couple post game pressers since Todd has taken over, youll notice something. Allot of the guys leave little hints to Lalondes tenure and its failures with the way they respond to questions.
It's only 3 games, but holy crap this team looks like a good team again. Rasmussen throwing hits?!? Finally!!! Holl had a good solid game and Chariot was a beast! Seider was in perfect form. The D was solid all night and held Malkin to 0 points. What a game. I love the language from McClellan–honest but positive, not canned coach-speak about zone time and 5 on 5 chances. The team chipped the puck out, supported each other and played defense. They might not make the playoffs this year but good things are coming.
Some New Year traditions I have are watching Sweden in juniors as there is always good entertainment on this specific day. The other is that I always wake up a little later than normal the next day as family time is a bit demanding on the body, it´s New Year´s Eve after all.
Happy for 2p and back to back wins. What is missing is that S."f" Y starts working and makes two trades as other GM´s can do that but not him. New head coach and the building has some life again, this is not sustainable unless it is a purge of the squad and it is S "f" Y's job to make sure the team is competitive to play meaningful matches.
Heard Todd said somewhere that it wasn't right that Larkin, Kane, cat and seider had to do the vast majority of these media availability appearances and that everyone was going to pitch in. Really glad to see him follow through! interesting to hear other players' perspectives.
Happy new year! Let's go Red Wings! Let's go Lions! Let's go Detroit!

Great win boys. Happy New Years everyone 🎉
LGRW!!!!!
16 games without a goal LOL way to lead by example "captain"
Patty Kane looks like a PPG player lately
Raymond is unreal
Offense is a lot better
Defense is solid
We outshot opponents and outhit opponents- that is huge
McLellan is totally going to change the culture. Already see a total difference in just a few games. Would like to see Bergy and Kasper with Kane on the 2nd line!
Waiting for that Patrick Kane hater…
Regardless this game was great all around. Penguins played well and the wings look alive. Nice win! Kaners goal and Mos save was 🔥
Glad to finally not give up the first goal. 2 yrs was enuff. Wings goin hard. Looks good on em!

Mickey with lots of underhanded comments tonight regarding the Wings time spent in their own D-zone and then their D-zone breakouts.
This is a coach these guys clearly want to play and play hard for and nice to see changes already.
Atta boy by Yzerman to realize he made a coaching mistake with Lalonde and cut the cord!
Way to go boys! Solid game from start to finish. Happy New Years Wings fans!
Seeing Mo give Sid his stick was hilarious. Usually the two are getting into it after the whistle.
Wheres the patty kane haters at??
First 3 games with Todd:
2-1
10 goals scored
9 goals against
Last 3 games with Lalonde:
0-3
4 goals scored
13 goals against
This isn't a magic or by luck, Newsys systems were just not working and the team had no motivation or connection.
I really, really like this coach. Todd is the light we have been waiting for, for some time now. Thank you Steve for making a change! And it appears to be the right change!
Larkin's first goal in 16 games…….On an empty net😂
Really appreciate the class he brings. He never talks poorly of what happened prior, but only what he's seen personally
He's a Gem
I'd compare it to when Dave Lewis was let go. Babcock is what we needed at that time then..i think Todd brings similair characteristics now.
Nice win, boys!! Feels like a new climate… I dig it!! LGRW!!
I love you Alex Lyon never die pls
Great turn around. Hope the progress keeps up. Nice new yrs present. Good way to end the yr. Up not down.
Loved the crowd singing right as wings scored game winning goal! Pretty sweet.
Veleno to 1st line!!
Let's see sum shit get mixed up. We need FINISHERS to succeed. If you aint producing on some level, sit tf down.
I loved Lalonde, bec I knew him from junior. McLellan is a huge improvement, great coach, love the transparency with the media
If you really pay close attention these last couple post game pressers since Todd has taken over, youll notice something. Allot of the guys leave little hints to Lalondes tenure and its failures with the way they respond to questions.
okay, has anyone mentioned yet that Lyon has the sexiest eyes ever? I'm straight AF but….those eyes tho……..
Just 2 wins under Todd, Wings still bottom 3 in the league. Dont rejoice so soon Detroiters
Thank you Lalonde for your time here, you took over a mess. Thank you McLellan for picking up the torch. Let's keep the puck hitting the net!
Lyon's lateral movement is atrocious, he is sliding all over the place getting caught out of position, would really prefer Husso in net over him.

I don't know why, there is something about Razor I dont like. But dang…. that unselfish pass to Larkin went a long way to change my mind.

Not interested until some players are traded

Happy new year! Let's go Red Wings! Let's go Lions! Let's go Detroit!
Cheers from Norway 🥂
New attitude in Hockeytown.. WTG Redwings 😊
Been a fan for 50+ years. Good to see this happening.
Went to the game last night. The atmosphere was ecstatic!!!!!! Lets Fucking go boys!
Maybe ,just Maybe “fingers crossed” they turned the corner ! I like the Larkin goal ! That’s a “team” play
Lalonde never had any desire to raise the bar and do better. He was too lost in the sauce of "We won in stats and looks."
Todd seems more rooted in the fact that the red wings are basically bottom of the damn league.
The ToddFather is giving them a wake up call. So far so good.
They are finally “playing fucking hockey!”
Todd f’in rocks!
You can tell 88 is a lot more engaged !
