The Detroit Red Wings have once again fallen apart in the month of March but Steve Yzerman isn’t the person that fans should be pointing their fingers at.

Yzerman ain’t the problem
Disagree. No decent moves at the deadline. We'll be mid next year too. They let Grand Rapids win championships by letting the young guys overcook and use up their youth and talent. That fills seats, I guess. Ilitch doesn't want to spend his billions. When Mike died, Detroit sports died. Everyone go buy a Cold and Sh*tty from LC to support the cause.
These players are soft!!!
GMs build. Coaches coach. Players play. This season has been extremely frustrating mostly because there seems to be no fight or passion coming from the players. None of the guys on this team have the Grit that Detroit is known for nor does it look like these guys get fired up to play. Yzerman and McLellan get fired up. I thought this team lacked toughness, but I think this team lacks heart. Not sure if that's on Larkin or not, but it's obvious from the watching.
Neal, how much have the oilers or Maple Leafs won with their 100 point players???
Look at Soderblom in Pitt, he's a different player. He's been more productive and he dropped the gloves the other night, he never did that in Detroit. That might be a sign of a cultural issue.
The wings dont have talent. We are missing a true first line. Our first line is really a second line
Remember when we could've had, Robert Thomas, chinkov, marner, and worst of all QUINN HUGHES. We miss every big point guy available. The kids have been horrible
Has to be a leadership/locker room problem. Most of these young guys have been excellent seasons with Grand Rapids or in juniors the past few years, but have been slightly underwhelming when they get called up. I love Larkin and really thought he’d carry momentum from the Olympics into March but that just didn’t happen. I know he got injured, but his presence/leadership shouldn’t leave along with it. And even when is he playing, his demeanor after a loss never comes across as frustrated but focused. It’s sad and confused which doesn’t really seem to ignite a flame let alone a simple reaction from the locker room. Even as Todd is actively calling them out, the message seems to be missed by all.
The red wings themselves aren’t that young. At the rate this is going Larkin will be 45 by the time all the “prospects” that do hit are in the league. This is it for Larkin and co. Time for big roster change at the core, top 6, and D
S. Edvinsson- 41% zone exit rate.
Q.Hughes- 96% zone exit rate.
Our offense is dry and our defense can’t get the puck out of the zone. For context league average is 50%.
Moritz Seider-69%
Ben C.- 50%
J. Faulk- 48%
We can’t for check, defend, or score. Cooked.
We have good players we just dont have anyone that knows how to set a culture. Ottawa has a culture panthers have a culture pens have culture.
Yzerman should be as much to blame as the players. Terrible free agent signings.
Didn't Lazy Stevie DRAFT and SIGN most of these heartless stiffs?
We can now start saying SAME OLD WINGS!!!
When it matters, the Wings fold.
To some extent, blame should be shared by all. However, Yzerman is who put this team together and deserves the lion's share of the blame. He's had seven years to get this right and has failed.
They werent playing over their heads when they were winning those games by a goal or two. The +/- says it all. They'd win by a goal and then get beat by 3 . Now that that they need that extra gear, they dont have it. Its the same team. The healthiest team in the league the entire season. Buffalo was was of the worst for man games lost. They just dont have another level. The last 5 to 10games the losses arent even close.
The wings grave was dug when we were beating FLA in regulation a month ago and choked. The first nail on the coffin was Ottawa loss. Then even more nails since. The final nail when we're mathetically out.
DEMOTE LARKIN! He doesn’t deserve the captaincy. Kane should’ve become team Captain last season when Larkin couldn’t lead.
Do the Sabres have a 100 point guy?
Larkin and Raymond frankly have been non existent after the Olympic break.
Trade or demote Larkin. He’s a 💩 captain
While the team chemistry may be ok, the team lacks a spark plug or two like Brad Marchand. That's on management. Those guys are worth their weight in gold.
Why not blame him, everyone blame holland
