The front office of this team is a complete and utter failure. I believe the players are truly giving their best and Todd is doing an admirable job. The best they have is 3 2nd line forwards and one D pair. Will miss the playoffs again with no hope in sight. Yzerman and all of his former teammates in the front office NEED TO GO!!!!!
So your not going to put a good team on the ice and your not going to put a tough team on the ice so why do I even watch? Only diehard fans are putting up with it and unfortunately I'm one of them. Such a sad time to be a Red Wings fan, fans deserve a better product..
This team challenges your fandom . They’re feckless. Until we get a real two way forward with size and a real blue line just gonna be a middling to bottom tier franchise. Todd’s gotta be wondering wtf he got himself into
We had a 5 game winning streak in the beginning of the season and all 5 of those wins were against playoff teams. So we have what it takes, but nothing to show for it.
How a 4th line goon can just attack the Wings best player and force him to fight without getting at least an instigator penalty is baffling to me. NHL refereeing is an absolute joke.
I was really hoping Hamonic or Chiarot would fight Kastelic, I want blood, they should have been finishing every check, crashing the crease and plowing into Swayman, cheap shotting their best players. Bruins haven't changed and are still one of the dirtiest team in the league.
The Wings have been too soft for too long, even when they were good they were pretty soft and small, I don't like losing but I can tolerate it, the lack of response just maddening though. I would love if they became a tough team like Anaheim back in the day, hockey sure has changed a lot when a goon like Kastelic can do that to a teams star player and get away with it.
Kane at even strength is a liability. Everyone talks about the lack of depth from the defensemen (and rightly so), but nobody wants to criticize the defense from the forwards.
Love the red wings, but this team doesn’t have what it takes. Nice guys, they say the right stuff, but when the rubber meets the road, they come up short.
Emmitt Finnie being put out with DeBrincat in OT while Kane sat on the bench, after Kane had just made an amazing play to get them to OT, is why this team is where it is. And why this coach is what he is. And has never won. And will never win.
Watched are toughest player get knocked out and we didn’t do shit. This teams a fucking joke Yzerman needs to fucking goo and illitch needs to sell the fucking team he’s to fucking cheap.
Don't know what Yzerman is thinking with the roster. We have like 4 guys who are consistently physical. All great NHL teams have a lot of talented players and tough guys….and great goaltending. We had guys like McCarty and Shanahan who would fight at the drop of a hat and if anybody messed with Yzerman the whole team would be up in arms over it.
The roster did not improve enough in the off-season to expect a playoff team all a sudden. Stevie needs to hire a few Russians!
I won't be renewing my Fanduel Subscription to watch the games next month. Tired of overpaying only to see my favorite team get bullied more often than not.
We're on our third coach. It's not a coaching issue, it's a roster issue. Point blank the roster just did not improve enough from last year.
I swear I heard something earlier maybe even before season started that regardless of playoffs or no playoffs Steve will be moving on to team president and a new GM will be hired. If true sounds like the most Detroit sports franchise move ever. Especially a Chris Illitch ran one
Yzerman is going to get one of his top two D men knocked out hurt bad with a concussion by not going out and getting a D man like Arbur X type that can fight and clear out the net. You don’t want Seider fighting.
Absolutely 100%. Enough of this bullying around bullsh*t. Wings are gonna need to crack some heads and take an initiative to not take the bullying crap anymore from opponents like the Bruins, Panthers, you name it….. Now why can't they play like this game against Boston every game? It's time to put their big boy pants on and be aggressive and stop letting up. This is their job, so they need to do it like their lives depend on it. If there are Wings who don't want to play to their expectations, they'll need to seriously consider hanging up their skates now. No more playing for the rest of the season like sissies. They need to attack every chance they get….

Wow, another loss. How can that be with such a great defensive team 😂😂😂
Boston only has half a team, but enough to beat the wings. They will be out of the hunt by chriltmass
So close, but that only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades! Smarten up the defense and do something about the goaltending. For the love of God!

bros happy just to get a point lol trade larkin lmao
Mo with the big fight 😂🔥💪 atta boy
Physical teams walk all over this soft team.

At least we tied the game with the extra attacker, first time that’s happened in a while.

Is anyone surprised Kastelic is a Senators draft pick
This comment section is so garbage
Watched are toughest player get knocked out and we didn’t do shit. This teams a fucking joke Yzerman needs to fucking goo and illitch needs to sell the fucking team he’s to fucking cheap.
If Hamonic is not on the ice, we dont have the issues we usually have. Simple problem simple solution
Props to Mo….got his ass handed to him but he made a statement…Team Player
Can somebody get HarrisMcgovern out of here the level of Kane Glazing is atrocious. Don’t get me wrong I love Kane but his level of Glazing is absurd
Bruins were missing their three best players and they still couldn’t win. Stick a fork in this team. Another pathetic year and excuses.

fire yzerman before we become buffalo
7 years into the Yzerplan and they still have no elite players. They're a slow, plodding team that plays with no grit.

Get a clue Yzerman!!
Another downward spiral
Fucking win a game Jesus Christ. Wtf is going on boys. Grow a pair and play like you car ffs
