How do you blow a 4-1 lead and then lose in overtime like that, its embarrassing. Seider needs to be taken off of PP1 for Pellika or Edvinsson instead if were gonna lose like that. Kasper the actual ghost has 3 goals and 3 total points through 18 games of mainly top 6 play with Kane and Debrincat. Sophomore slump or not thats unacceptable.
People complaining about this loss need to realize this happens when you had a defense featuring 5 guys aged 25 or younger and 3 of them are either rookies or 2nd year guys. The majority of our aging vets are on deals that expire this season, which gives more room to the youth when more guys are ready. There is a plan in place. Draft lottery didn't bless us like it has so many other teams. We have dropped more spots in the draft than any other organization has. With that, you aren't able to get some of the more premium guys. Also didn't help chris illitch demanded we try to make the team more competitive after the 2021-2022 season because over 30% of nhl revenue is in ticket sales and a team that is bottom 5 in the league doesn't sell tickets well in most places outside of canada. Doesn't help neither when the owner refuses to give out signing bonuses which the all of the higher end free agents love. Look at any guy who was a unrestricted free agent who signed with a new team that makes over 7.5 million a year. You will find hardly none of those guys didn't get a signing bonus. Meanwhile the last 5 guys to receive a signing bonus that weren't entry level contracts were veleno, rasmussen, copp, chiarot and perron. Notice 3 of those guys came from the 2022 free agency class and were only paid 1 million each the first year of their deals only and the other 2 were restricted free agents given only 500k the first year of their deal extensions. Not even raymond nor seider received a signing bonus. Neither did larkin the captain and the best player the wings had at the time. No other team has spent so little on signing bonuses for free agents. Our owner is a cheap ass who won't pay out. Look at the tigers which he owns as well. Skubal wins a cy young award and was offered a deal that wouldn't even put him in the top 10 highest paid pitchers at the time for average annual value. They didn't add at the trade deadline neither and were middle of the pack for players payroll. The red wings are top 5 for most cap space currently. They won't spend the money because chris is not like his father. He is cheap.
This is the 2nd straight Red Wings coach who has refused to see Patrick Kane as Patrick Kane, refused to treat him like he's Kane. Marginalizing him, disrespecting him deliberately. Not wanting him to be the main character. Now even totally burying him in OT to keep him from being the main character or making it his team or having hero moments.
They don't just want to win, they want to win but not bc of Kane.
Good luck w that. If you have him on your team, he is there to be a hero. It's especially funny bc this team has no other heroes on it. The guys they want to step up and be that guy? They're not that guy. So I guess they'd rather just lose and lose and lose than have Kane co-host the show.
Love the Red Wings, but this team is soft. They tantalize you by running off a few wins, but then they give it right back. Three out of a possible eight points on their home stand. This is the kind of result that is going to keep them out of the playoffs again.
Gibson is the worst Goaltender in the league. Expecting the defense to play perfectly for 60 minutes is an impossible task. The net minder HAS to be able to save a puck. I've watched every single team all year and EVERY single goaltender is more prepared and has better reads almost at all times than gibson. He needs to be released so that we can begin developing Cossa AS SOON AS COSSA IS HEALTHY.
Overall a disappointing game. I do think Pellikka should be PP1 over Seider, atleast for the time being as he’s a much more offensive D-man, and Seider continues to give up break aways on the PP. I’m really liking how Raymond has been playing, he’s Reminds me a lot of Igor Larionov, he does have a deadly shot though and I do wish he’d shoot more. Debrincat has been Pairing with Raymond’s Playmaking on the top line really well. We need to fill in Holes but I think making wild card or 3rd in the division is a possibility especially with how inconsistent the teams in our division are. I do expect us to get much more competitive next season, As Raymond and Mo will be entering their Prime, Pellikka has been given the chance to play at the NHL level we will see Nygard, who will be much better next season. The players I’m most concerned with right now are Finnie because he hasn’t had any points lately and Kasper for the same reason. Idk those are my thoughts
I don't even bother with the post game player interviews cuz it's all cliche answers every loss. The only one intelligent enough to give an answer of what is really going on is Todd. This was frustrating as hell.
Kane looks and sounds completely checked out on the team – he's almost commenting on it as if he's an outsider, like he did after the 23-24 season in his exit interview. Hope this means he's looking elsewhere.
Also he throws shade there subtly/not so subtly at the 'top line'.

Why are we so cocky we haven't made the playoffs since the Obama administration
Tage Thompson is a beast! A monster on skates just throwing our guys around like dolls!

Kane's next game would be game 10, would hit a $2.5 mil bonus.
Once he does that, he should ask for a trade. Florida would be ideal.

Pretty hard to get two points when your top pair defenceman play like that.

Gibson sucked. Why bullshit?

It's clear this team isn't worth watching or paying to see a game this year. ESPN+ can go without my money this year

Can’t wait to lose to the rangers tomorrow!
Got cocky and lost it. I still believe. Let’s go boys
Patrick Kane the calm, composed and taciturn WET, that in post game comments intrinsically shows the way why he is the GOAT in these situations
Shockingly bad………
What else is there to say oh and let’s not hear the crying about making the playoffs your no where near a playoff team with that kind of game
