I thought they played hard last night and carried the play a lot of the time just a bad luck goal by Vegas and a lot of bad luck on Redwing shots.
Did not expect to see Todd rocking that attire lol. LGRW
Todd McLellan is such a likeable guy. Glad hes the coach thats gonna help us break through.
Larkin is a turnover machine
Larkin is a true 1C, true leader, and only improving with Todd behind the bench. LETS GO WINGS
Aziz is a falling machine on rollerblades
6:48 interview start
I love how well Todd fits in with the organization.
Todd actually looks like he’s about to go kick the soccer ball with the boys before he hits the ice lol
Daniella is a true pro and great at her job, keep it up
TODD is the only reason this young, not quite up to par team is having success. Traverse City must've been a break through
The Toddfather knows his bourbon! Elmer T Lee is really good

Todd McLellan currently has Kane behind those other 5 in his overtime lineup. Playing with no-talent Compher when he does play in OT now. Absurd. And Kane unlike Larkin and Raymond isn't a minus in OT the last 3 years. Those guys don't score in OT, and they lose. Why do they keep going first and getting the most time? Why is the most clutch player of all time buried in overtime since he bailed Todd's team out in OT vs Anaheim last March?
Todd ooksgood, dressed casually looks younger!
Really interesting philosophy Todd has when it comes to coaching a team and the game of hockey
I really like what I've seen from Todd as a coach and a person. I really hope he does well and he's the coach for awhile.
Why is he wearing no pants?
Larkin is an impeccable leader of this team
Holy dad fit. Electric stems on coach
