  1. This team just doesn"t have the depth. When Copp and Compher get OT time …your in trouble. Both are slow and can't score! I'd like to see Todd throw out Finnie…get some speed out there.

  2. I just can’t anymore. This team has shown it can be great and simultaneously be the worst team in the league it’s baffling. When’s enough, enough? I’m tired you guys, I’m just tired of all of this.

  3. “We know the situation we’re in” DO YOU? LITERALLY DO YOU? YOU KEEP MAKING IT WORSE. Or are yall just here for the end of season golfing

  4. The team demeanor is "LOSER MENTALITY" and as a die hard Red Wings fan this is just torcher watching the rest of this season go down the crap shoot. As a goalie fan I can't stand watching John Gibson in net. He is beyond slow laterally and slow recovery and gives up Charmin soft goals. Not that a great goalie could save this teams poor performances. Yzerman needs to make major positive improvements over the off-season or he's got to go. Simple as that.

  5. You had the lead and you blew it! You can’t even score an empty net! That loss in the shootout was pathetic! I hate to say it but fire Yzerman! His Yzerplan is terrible and it’s taking too damn long!

  6. Been a fan since 91’….

    I was watching guitar pedal demos on YouTube instead of the game.

    Soft as F.

    Larkin is almost crying for F sake…. If that is not an indication of the leadership then I don’t know what is.

    Give this coach some god damn players.

    They have become the team you want to play to get points. They scare no one except their own fan base.

  7. The answer to this team isnt "the kids". It's literally blowing Ras/Appleton/Copp/Compher/Perron out of here and having a difficult conversation about Raymond and larkin. They NEED to make a franchise altering trade. Brady is being run out of Canada and he is EXACTLY what this team needs. Steve needs to cash some of these supposed high end assets in on a star like him.

  8. This team needs a front office shake up and Chris Illitch needs to step up and make some hard decisions. This team is an embarrassment. A decade of missing the playoffs, longest active streak in the NHL now. This division isn’t getting any easier, Ottawa, Montreal and Buffalo are all leaps and bounds ahead of Detroit and Boston and Tampa dont look like they are going anywhere. Yzerman is clinging on to not having draft luck and that things take time. Well times run out, do your f*cking job and GM your way out of it thats what they pay you to do. Players whining to the media about getting booed. No effort on ice. No one looks like they even f*cking care! This team doesnt hate to lose and at the end of the day Yzerman is to blame. He constructed the roster and the roster is ASS.

  9. I am sick and tired of captain Eeyore. Too many wings fans fall in love with guys who play here or are born here. He is a decent 2C at best. These men can't possibly follow a moping child like this. Put the C on Cat or Seider. Trade Larkin and something else for Matthews.

  10. They can't really plan on running it back with basically this same roster next year… right?

  11. They have a losing mentality. It’s a psychological thing at this point. His body language looks defeated.

  12. Can't with this team anymore. It's beyond pathetic at this point. Been extremely patient with them and they always let you down.

  13. Larkin plays the "poor me, I need help" role perfectly. And he is probably right. Hopefully Steven Yzerman accommodates him finally. Can't judge Larkin as a Captain fairly without seeing what he's capable of with an actual playoff/contender worthy roster. Same goes with Todd. He's gotten this rag tag roster very close, imagine what he could do with an actual roster tailored around his style.

    I can't even watch the games tbh, I just check the scores on Google.

  14. and we fn traded buchelnikov for nothing this year. shoulda kept him. not that faulks been bad. hes been good but the team is just shit. players just cant seem to develop here. this organization sucks. lets sign another appleton this offseason and another aging veteran that'll fix it. the pro scouting on this team is absolute shit. whoever is in charge of that needs to be canned

  15. I would be in favor of trading 85% of the roster away. Debrincat can stay, kasper can stay, finnie can stay….the rest I will be glad to see go….gutless….heartless

  16. how i wish we ended up with stutzle instead of raymond. raymond is just a fancy play maker. cant skate hard or drive play worth shit.

  17. Larkin seems to have no personality. Nobody wants a robot as a leader. Find a new captain. He's a great player, but obviously he can't lead a team past the regular season. It's been proven.

  18. Well, here we are again, year ten of a four year rebuild… you can't fix a problem with the same mind that created it. Stevie is a hockey playing god, but he's not going to build a cup team. Make him something else, his formula isn't working in the Motor City.

  19. I seen the highlights, Larkin does the exact same move every time in the shootout 😂 He has zero creativity and that's the way it's always been and that's the way it always will be unfortunately

  20. I love Larkin but this obviously isn’t working. Team needs to make some difficult changes over the off season. I really had high hopes this year, super devastating that this is a recurring issue. Step the fuck up and make some changes

  21. Having Talbot start Sunday and not letting Cossa get a single start ALL YEAR is a fireable offense all by itself. He was drafted in the first year of the Biden Administration FFS. Yzerman is so conservative that it's actually shocking.

  22. Shut up larkin. you absolute bum. it’s over. whined and cried for yzerman to make a trade when you never deserved it. He should have traded you. can’t motivate the team, horrific 5 on 5. im so done with this team

  23. ITS OVER. Trade larkin this summer. Bring cosssa up, stop fucking waiting so long to develop these young guys, get them in the fkn lineup NEXT GAME. I’m over this team

  24. A team without direction, it is clear that it is due to management directives and its incompetence. Time to grant the GM and his staff their resignation…
