Michael Rasmussen, James van Riemsdyk Todd McLellan Post Game @ OTT | Jan. 5, 2026
Michael Rasmussen, James van Riemsdyk and Head Coach Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Monday January 5, 2026.
I FUCKING HATE OTTAWA ,THEIR THE TEAM I HATE THE MOST OF ALL SPORTS ,IN MY OPINION THEIR DETROIT NEW NUMBER 1 ACTIVE RIVALRY FOR CERTAIN REASONS AND WILL BE RIVALS WITH THEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME
Honestly on the pp larkin and JVR shown so slick stuff i say if we do rejuggle lines maybe try a JVR-Larkin-Raymond (Same 2nd line) Then whatever combo if bottom 6 you want maybe could help get some 5 on 5 goals
The way this coach and this fan base treats Kane can really only be described as pure evil. Like really. It’s as if satan himself is sending his minions after Patrick Kane. His soul is too bright for this league. Maybe he should retire, like today. Fuck the record, fuck 500 goals. He doesn’t owe this franchise or this league anything. He’s evolved beyond all of this crap. He’s bigger than hockey.
last 2 games complete different team, against pens puck glues to the boards,today played like hockey team used Center of ice…… not trying score from behind the net
Raymond finally scored, great game by Gibson although I'm a little worried about him having a concussion or something cus every time he gets hit in the head it looks like it really bothers him. Also get Albert out of here, he's really struggled
if Kane isn't with Cat on the power play next game it is time to ask for a trade. absurd. and shockingly the power play looked worse, not better, after demoting the team's best power play guy.
wait so he is aware the Copp Cat Kane line has been not just great offensively but also defensively – but still pulled Kane off it for Compher w their net empty late. what an evil Babcock clone. purely to screw Kane out of scoring opportunities. evil awful bum. why would Copp Cat Kane not play together on the power play too then, genius? Why not play empty net together, genius? Why not play them even 3v3 as a trio? Worst coach.

Been rusty/hurt, last 5.
With team-best on-ice analytics over this time. Why is this player being singled out for punishment, again? Seems like a guy you'd want to get more on the ice with good players in big situations, not less.
Badly outplayed again by a poor Sens team just lucky the Sens goalies were awful tbh. Gibson was superb and again the only one on his game all night. Team looks really dis-jointed at the moment (Micky Redmond has mention it a few times too) half a dozen games now they've not looked sharp. Reffing is always a tad questionable in Wings/Sens games especially when it's in Ottawa.

Nice win.💪🔥🔥
They may have won but man they looked awful.
Gibby stole this one. But you need to win these type of games when you play 82.
Does Michael Rasmussen have a Mangina?

This is rough. If it's just fatigue, well…it won't go away. Gotta figure out a better way to play.
The best team won, and that was the Red Wings. What a letdown by the Senators. I hate how my brain goes split down the middle!
JVR has been an excellent acquisition last summer. It would be nice for him to come back next year
Copp leading forwards with 19:59 of ice time. I wrote his obituary a long time ago. So, it’s nice to see him come back to life!
I was there. We won because Ottawa sucked more.
Aziz has a picture of Dylan Larkin taped to the ceiling over his bed.
LGRW! Can't keep playing like this. It's not sustainable hockey to lean on Gibson every night to keep us in the game. Need to get our structure back.

Let's calm down on the penalties.

Holy boats, a regulation win against a division opponent!
correct power plays:
Copp Cat Kane ??? Pellikka
Larkin JvR Raymond ??? Seider
Should alternate which unit goes out first, split time equally. Could even use Ed with ASP and use ASP as another winger.
But this wouldn't be screwing over Kane so it won't be tried.
Wings looked a step behind Gibson again, wins the game.
