Patrick Kane, Lucas Raymond, Todd McLellan Post Game | Jan. 18, 2025
Patrick Kane, Lucas Raymond and Head Coach Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday January 18, 2025.
Jesus H Christ, Ben Chiarot is so goddamn terrible at hockey. Dude just stands by Talbot, but never moves. Never actually defends the net… ever. I’m so tired of having dead weight on this team, that NEVER contribute. I will say our offense looks significantly better under Todd, but the defensive weak links, are losing us games, literally.
Holl, Chiarot, Gustafsson, and Rasmussen all need to go. Gus has been better lately, but he’s a defensive black hole. Our goalies haven’t been able to stop the crucial moment goals, totally kills the team’s morale.
Partly a matter of maturity and mental focus if you ask me. Not starting with intensity and allowing that first goal, then starting the 2nd with a penalty and another goal. You wanna be a playoff team, you need to be sharp at all times.
2 upgrades needed on defence. The amount of quality chances they give up from not covering guys away from the puck is crazy. Bolts narrowly missed two other back door tap ins in the second.
Kane being very kind here to Debrincat and to the Lightning. he says they're pretty dynamic 5v5; his line dominated Kucherov's all night at 5v5. but DeBrincat's controller unplugged moment on defense gave Kuch a highlight goal. and Kane keeps mentioning how they would have wanted to get a power play goal early, kindly not mentioning DeBrincat blowing a 2 on 1 from him in the 1st and also hitting a post from him in the 1st.
a bad bad night for the team and for the Cat in particular.
and they gave up 5 goals. that isnt bc the power play went 1 for 6. what if the power play went 2 or 3 for 6 instead? They'd still have lost. They gave up 5.
I'm regularly a critic of Seider when he blows assignments, but lately he's been doing quite well. Problem is, we're now starting to swap one win for a loss, and that'll just get us quicker into not becoming qualified for the playoffs. Rasmussen has gotta go. Don't know why the Wings signed him for that kind of money. He's not that good, and he's not that strong or tough like he thinks he is. Rasmussen may think he's intimidating, but he's really a pushover. Wings should have tossed him over to San Jose instead of Kostin. At least Kostin was a threat on the ice if somebody came after any of our players. Gus looks like he's doing better and Holl as well, with some exceptions, but they've got to be more aggressive out there. We're losing puck control again, tossing it into the opponent's end, just to see the opposing team take the puck and work their offense. The Walman trade was not a good one. Wings could have used him to their advantage. Don't know how much more McLellan and his assistant can do with this staff. It's not the coaching that's the problem now, it's the team roster. If there are players who aren't giving it there all at these games, they need to be benched or sent to GR or placed on waivers. It's just too expensive to keep players who can't either produce or contribute to the game.
I feel like we’ve become over reliant on the powerplay lately it’s obviously nice when it’s clicking but 5 on 5 play is always gonna be more important so focus on improving that first and foremost
You know you so called wings fans just want to make me🤮 Fire Lalonde Fire Lalonde and so the Wings did and just like a child's story all were happy in Hockeytown. Especially with 7 wins in 8 games. But alas now the Wings have lost 2 out of 3. Well obviously Mcllellan is an Idiot isnt he😒 We better get Gerard Gallant😂 And of course then trade everyone😀 Screwed? Wings are screwed🤔 I believe I heard Todd say he told his players don't worry about the standings. Play one game and then the next and don't think about playoffs. Oh my we lost a game and only score on the PP. Life is over because of that isn't it😒
Good lord, the overreacting after every game is just nuts at this point. Every win “we’re back! I love this team!” Every loss “the season is over. This team is terrible. Fire Yzerman!” You’re all out of your minds
I commented that when they hired Todd they needed to win 8/10 to get in it ! They did now it’s one at a time ,there will be highs and lows , let’s see tonight at Dallas the response ! They are fun to watch !

HEY GUYS WE OUTSHOT THEM BY 18. THAT MEANS WE WON RIGHT????

Damn Lucas is starting to talk like patrick kane, and he sounds like sieder
40 shots on net and couldn't get another goal wow
Сегодня Васильевский сыграл 👍👍👍, когда вратарь выдаёт такие матчи, команда уверена в своих силах, а у Детройта проблема с защитой!

Lions lost but at least we have this incredible team 😂..
Shouldve kept bertuzzi and traded larkin.

Fire yzerman. He sucks as a gm.
Lions will go downhill and be back to their losing seasons again

If the team wants to get better permanently, study this tape. Every flaw in the team was exposed decisively.

Where is the captain when we lose?
Exiting the D zone needs work. Weak passing with no direction causing turnovers and scoring opportunities
Raymond and Kane sound the same when they talk … lmfao
I agree with coach. We didn’t have enough guys at the net tonight. Vasey was solid (expected). Game was over 5 min into the 2nd period.
Get that extra hour of rest and play hard tomorrow boys. LGRW 🐙 ❤️ 🐙 🏒
Honestly even if we didn’t get blitzed in the second I don’t think they would’ve won. Tampa’s goalie was just a brick wall last night
No matter how the Wings play, it’s MUCH more enjoyable than watching rigged KC Chiefs games !!!
