Cam Talbot, Alex DeBrincat, Todd McLellan Post Game Comments vs CBJ | 11/22 CBJ
Cam Talbot, Alex DeBrincat, and Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday November 22, 2025 at Little Caesars Arena.
Anyone remember when this team had no captain at all for quite a long time? Larkin was on the team then. The media went on a big promo campaign basically trying to convince the fan base he was leadership material. Just that alone shows they knew he wasn't the guy to begin with
That’s what happens when Kane gets out in OT. Todd still had the nerve to put Compher out ahead of him but fortunately Debrincat stayed out and waited for Kane. Even though that goal was an individual effort by Debrincat, the whole dynamic changes when Kane gets on the ice in OT. You can feel it as a viewer and the opposing team certainly feels it. Hopefully Cat-Kane get out second pair, ALWAYS, from now on.
Nice to get 2 points, but I'm not feeling great that Todd keeps scratching guys who do nothing wrong like Berggren and JBD and keeps Hamonic and JVR in when they don't do anything noteworthy. He keeps putting together forward lines that are a combination of 3 different player types and hoping it'll work instead of just putting the best guys with the best guys and the less skilled guys on the bottom lines.
consider playing Copp at 2C, maybe even given Danielson a try there. JT Compher is not it. 0 points in 6 games on that line, 1 point in his last 13 games. Kane/Chiarot have been in on both the line's goals since it was put together 6 games ago. Compher not involved at all. he is an offense suppressant.
This is Talbot's net. Maybe give Gibson the lower standings teams until he can prove he can make the bigger saves against tougher higher skilled teams.
also, FINALLY we see Kane put out with DeBrincat once the Wings have clear possession. it's ridiculous this wasn't figured out much much sooner by this coach. i can't recall them playing in OT together since the OT loss at Philly in January (when Kane was playing injured for 1 game before going on IR).
What a rollercoaster of a game. I rarely give the refs a hard time, but they almost singlehandedly decided how this game was going. Some TERRIBLE calls and non calls both ways made the game very difficult to watch.
Hats off to the boys for battling all game; especially after a tough 2nd period. Easily a loss with Cam, but a great effort from half of the team!!
Perhaps we put Kasper with Larks and Ray for a game or two to get him going??
See. This is what happens when we put a great goalie in net. Talbot is now 9,2,0. Where as Gibson is 4,6,1. Its clear we need a better back up for Talbot.

What a comeback. Finnie and Nate with the huge helpers and Cat with an absolute filthy goal.
Depth going to step up sometime soon?

Get the win, no matter how ugly.

Talbot keeps getting more and more dinners courtesy of his teammates. 😆 LGRW!🐙
What an amazing game to be at. A rollercoaster ride. But got a much needed win!
Great job boys!

Benny having himself quite the game. Even out there for OT
Cam is in unbelievable shape. Good for him!
Ohhh that late game "O"ffense :):):)
stop playing awful Hamonic ever.

What a difference having a real goalie in net.

Helen is the worst
Man I’m glad you guys won but the fail or lack of defense and offense is sad another 3rd period rush to win Talbot saved you guys
Talbot is the man
Still waiting for that ASP highlight reel goal
Talbs is shredded
Pls let hamonic continue to do those things but in practice and in the locker room and not during the games
I ❤Debrin-😻 LGRW!!!!!!!!!
0:52 six sevennnnnnn
You guys pulled it out! I'm glad!
Thank you!

Edvinson absolutely needs to come back. No more bad penalties by Hamonic. Would love to see more Bernard-Docker.
Make Debrincat captain. Larkin would be a better player with that pressure off.
0:52 6…..7…..
T-Bot
Great game by Cam Talbot, need to call up Cossa and send down Gibson and we could have a great goalie combo
Maybe have Cat stay at right wing cus he can't hit the net playing left wing..
Seider seems to score when he actually hits the net, maybe hit the net more often
See. This is what happens when we put a great goalie in net. Talbot is now 9,2,0. Where as Gibson is 4,6,1. Its clear we need a better back up for Talbot.
Last season, i admit I wanted Char to be off the team. But he appears to be a 'Born Again' and worthy of the Red Wings Jersey.
Love to pry Zach Werenski from the Blue Jackets. Great defenseman
