  1. you can tell Larkin gets a little salty every time Debrincat scores.  do you think Yzerman, Lidstrom or Zetterberg ever got butthurt when someone on the team passed them in points?  typical weak behavior from Larkin – not captain material at all

  2. @azizshavershian2065 bud, that is just ridiculous. I haven't seen another player in the league as excited as Larkin gets when someone else scores. Garbage take man. He is FIRST to the puck when someone scores a significant goal. It's the first thing in his head, someone else. That is how a captain should be. You can trash his play all you want, but that comment is trash. He loves Michigan, and he represents his team and state as well as anyone could. You gotta drop these bullshit comments.

  3. Outside of Larkin, Raymond, Cat & Seider – this team is absolute trash to watch. Boring & soft hockey. Honestly, insanely disappointed in this team this year.

    Todd likely to just quit lol.

  4. Gibson in net not like what I’m hearing,talbot kept us in the game the other night against Boston along with a little defense we could use a better solid goalie against a team that’s kinda rolling right now

  5. Feels a bit delusional for Raymond to openly broadcast that he thinks Detroit is a solid team with good forechecking, retrieve the puck and create chances off of that, as well as being fast. The current standings are them being a 500 team who's middle of the pack at best, and they keep losing games. Yknow who's playing fast, good on forechecking, and creating lots of opportunities? Colorado. Dallas. Tampa. Carolina. How do we know that? Because they're winning.

    I'm all for people trying to be positive and upbeat while they work on stuff, but come on man. Who's calling these guys out and filling them in that they're playing like a bunch of middle of the pack players?

    If Raymond was out here producing like Celebrini, Bedard, MacKinnon, Makar, and the rest of those names…maybe he'd be a bit more believable.

  6. We lost to Boston and they were missing their best forward and defenseman. If we were missing Larkin and Seider we'd be DEAD LAST in the league. Figure it out guys.

  7. "When the power play is running well, it's running through (Kane)"

    Gee, glad someone's noticed. Maybe Todd as the coach of the team can coach the other guys to let him run the power play then instead of ignoring him on it or acting like they're all co-runners of it where each gets to hold it near the point for 20-30 seconds and take turns.

  8. Todd openly admits Kane gets preferential treatment/leeway for his poor defensive play/effort, what kind of example is this setting for young players? Anyone who has had a job or played sports knows that workplaces/teams where certain individuals get preferential treatment and are held to different standards are an absolute nightmare and can become a toxic disaster. This could be one of the main reasons the Wings are such a mess, have such a low effort level and continue to make the same defensive mistakes over and over.
