It’s (NOT) over: Red Wings drop the ball to beaten up and tired Senators as playoff hopes dwindle



Biggest game of the year, Senators down their two biggest defensemen and on a back-to-back, your captain has returned — And Detroit loses in regulation. Playoff hopes have began to dwindle. Larkin and Shine scored. #LGRW

  1. Oh boy it’s over.. March Sadness is undefeated. We should never have traded Justin Holl! 😂

  2. You guys are delusional. This is exactly why you don’t waste a 1st on an old defenseman. Was never going to make a difference with this wimp of a team. When in TF is Yzerman gonna learn and change this team in the offseason. More grit!

  3. Maybe if the fans were as passionate about booing this team as we all complain on the internet they'd actually respond when they suck

  4. Thomas was the guy to mortgage the future for. Already halfway there with what we gave for Faulk. Add another first and another prospect and we'd have a 26 year old ppg center with 4 years on a contract. Oh well….

  5. Wings play harder without larkin. They out hit their last 2 opponents, by the start of the third in this game they were down 21-8 in hits. I dont care about the shot count because they were mostly from the perimeter, no second chance shots, and no fight for the puck. Most captains in wings history when they come back you see the players play harder than this. Larkin is – 5v5, 44% in faceoffs but of course he scores a po goal that makes no difference.

  6. Anyone will to ask if Bishop has been over used?
    Compressed schedule and starting every game?
    By the way how's Alex Lyon doing?
    Cossa?

  7. Remember when seider hit people. Remember when he played defense first and wasnt trying to jump in the playoffs every time. Remember when kane played like he gave a crap and not like hasbeen kane. Remember when faulk looked like a solid dman and not another dman who turns the puck over in his own zone and screens his own goalie. Most of that was just a game ago. Is larkin walking into the locker room with a gold medal around his neck? Did larkin show up drunk for a week after the Olympics and the players are sick ofnhis b.s.? Something is off in the locker room and it starts with the guy who's overstayed his welcome, the guy who collapses innthe second half of the season. But this teamnhas been – all year, so they didn't deserve to be playing for a playoff spot anyway.

  8. Maybe slotting Finnie as your fist line LW from the start of the season was a tell. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  9. Maybe getting Larkin back to this game already wasnt a good thing. You can see he is far from 100% & it's also very clear that many players who raised their games when he was out, concious or nonconcious, seem to have turned it down a few procent likely "relaxing" a bit with the captain back. I also gattu say, demoting MBN ahead of this game feels odd. Why not play him ahead of any of the other old slow "jerseys" out there who really contributes nothing and definitely isnt getting any better, we burned a year of his ELC to simply get to play 3 games on the 4th line with bellow 10 mins of icetime, just brilliant… I also don't get Bernard-Docker over ASP in the lineup when we are struggling badly for offense.

    They talk all the time about this time of year it's invalueble experience to play and where you really grow as a player. Then why are we not playing guys that actually still have room to grow?! Specially when you play a bunch of 30+ year olds that are, if at all, just marginally "better". It reminds me about last time we made the playoffs and we continue to play a guy like Joakim Andersson over Anthony Mantha, just because it was more "safe". Cant win games without scoring goals and this "afraid to let in goals/lose"- hockey is never a successful concept. But here we go again, icing a lineup time and time again that is more focused on being afraid to lose rather show the will to win (& score). So frustrating…

  10. We have enough meat and potatoes offensive guys that can play defense. We need to take swings on guys now with big offensive potential who may need to work on their defense. I want to see highlight packages of guys juking people out of their jock straps from our prospects. We lack that creativity to beat a guy and find space in the middle of the ice. We need to draft some more of that sniper type of player type.

  11. Sorry boys, it is. Promising for a bit but too absent guys…. We’re not dogs. Until then and only then we won’t be a playoff team. This is ALL on the players imo.

  12. There is something fundamentally wrong with this team and it’s front office. Clean house this summer. Start the second rebuild.

  13. Can’t wait to watch everyone in this comment section flip the switch when they win their next game.

  14. Hey guys I'm a sens fan and I occasionally listen to other locked on podcasts, and although you guys are pretty annoyed, just wanna say that you guys are very good, much higher quality than most other locked on ones so ya good job keep it up!

  15. I don't understand how a team could look so different from one game when you don't have your captain to the next when you do. I would seriously leave Emmett Finney line one center. I believe we may have a new captain.

  16. For their 100th anniversary, the Wings will miss the playoffs for the 10th straight year. I’m done with this topic. I don’t see how the team can turn things around—especially when you look at how the competition is performing.

    To be honest, I also expect Yzerman to leave (or be let go). In this case, it shouldn’t matter what he accomplished for Detroit as a player or the status he still holds because of it. He has repeatedly failed to improve the team; he didn’t manage to bring in 1-2 forwards to Hockeytown all season who could score 20-30 goals. His moves at the trade deadline were too late and too little.

    They gave Yzerman the 100th-anniversary celebration, as well as the Fedorov ceremony in January, but hopefully his staying on beyond this season is tied to making the playoffs. So: Enough with the “Yzerplan”!

  17. LOL the amount of the world is ending comments in here is astounding is it frustrating of course it is attack like this year hasn't been better in every way is just dumb.

  18. Wings have no fight in them collectively. Cant be coming out like that in in the first period and in most of the second and tell people youre "trying" to make the playoffs. Talent from 2nd line down is mediocre, they dont score goals, they play good defense and a good perimeter game but refuse to crash the net or get physical. Id honestly rather see a complete rebuild than watch these guys be really good and mediocre at the same time year in and year out. Trade EVERYBODY, and i mean everybody. Field an AHL team for a few seasons and get every single overall 1st you could possibly get. Fire Steve, Fire McLellan, fire the entire front office and start from scratch. Thats just where im at. Im done stressing about it for the year. Im done watching regular season games. Ill start watching again if they make the playoffs of course (which they wont) but at this moment ive given up on the players and on steve. id simply rather watch the Tigers over this weak red wings team.

  19. You guys have said Faulk has made the defense better, yet he is a -2 in 8 games, which would be a -20 over a season. I would rather have ASP in the lineup getting NHL reps. Buffalo let their rookies play, and look at them now.

  20. Can Larkin ever stand up for himself? Throw a punch for christsakes! He just tales it. Pathetic. It’s the same guy on each team that pushes him around and he doesn’t do anything about it. I’m sick of seeing it for Christ sake stand up for yourself.

  21. Who's replacing Yzerman?
    We think it's so bad now, it can be worse. The players have to have the will, and grit to play through adversity.
    This has been an effort problem, too few players giving all they got. Too many mailing it in.
    Not acceptable!!

  22. The Wing's also got the breaks on the penalty calls. Finnie got away with a high stick, Chiarot got away with a trip.

  23. When are you media guys gonna crawl out of Yzerman's butt and call him out? 7 years of his garbage roster management. People still blaming Holland. People can't separate Yzerman the player from the GM. He's been bad as a GM here. No other GM in any sport would still have job after 7 straight years of missing the playoffs, & their not gonna make it this year. Yzerman should be FIRED!!!

  24. Lmao it’s over we couldn’t even score more than two goals against an AHL defense with 4 power plays😂😂

  25. As a Sens fan, I'm sad JBD won't get a playoff chance.

    Also as a Sens fan, I smile watching Debrincats playoff chances fade way.

    Respect to David Perron. Man is a real one.

  26. Can we trade Larkin for Brady? I think 15 doesn't play like a team behind Larkin. We've had quite a few games so far with him out and win or lose the team played like a team. Tkchuck would make this team a monster. I'm saying this for a reason.
