Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider, Todd McLellan Post Game Comments vs. PHI | April 9, 2026
Dylan Larkin, Moritz Seider and Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday April 9, 2026 at Little Caesars Arena.
the reason this team keeps wiping out coaches/rosters & failing is because they're trying to build on a weak foundation. Larkin is not a leader or captain material at all. Trade that clown and start a proper rebuild
Larkin silenced the haters tonight. 4v4 goal, powerplay goal, shorthanded goal and an assist. Seider played nuts as well. Top 6 really stepped in big tonight, hope we win out for the heck of it.
Little Caesars Arena going wild chanting Dylan Larkins name just shows you what a great leader (and 1C) he is to this team, the purple haired comment section won't drown out the arena cheering Larkins name. 0 IQ fans let the tears run down your face and keep watching Larkin because he is staying with Detroit
Genuinely happy for Larkin but one great night every six months is not the makings of a true 1c or leader. Nice to see him not making excuses but why does he still sound like he's going to cry? Dudes energy is that of a wet mop.
Kane: 1G 2A 3 points +1 (7G 16A 23 points, +3 in his last 17 games) Seider: 1G 4A 5 points +2 Larkin: 3G 1A 4 points +2
Bruins are on a 4 game losing streak stuck at 96 points, Sens beat the Panthers 5-1 today, now on a 3 game win streak and up to 94 points. Wings win and move up to 91 points. All have 3 games remaining and If the Wings win all 3 and Boston or the Sens mess up, they’re in the playoffs
The response at 0:39 shows Larkin's heart. Yeah, sucks our results this year so far down the stretch, especially when we started off so good. We need to shed a bit of weight and get the young guys an off season to come back stronger, faster. If we can fix our zone exits and keep plays alive on offense a bit better with a slightly more experienced and better roster next year we're a 100+ point playoff team. If we can add a top 6 player in the off season to help Ray, Cat and Larks even better.
“Are you able to do my physically than you have been able to do more recently” tf kinda question is that. Guy scored a hat trick and your trying to pull this bs
Pretty odd to hear players basically say "fu#$ you" to their own FANS. I can't say I disagree with him being bitey with the media, but the fans pay his check. I love Mo, but you really shouldn't be shitting on the fans. Acting like it's unreasonable that we're pissed about another end of season collapse comes across as really disingenuous. Don't be mad at the fans for booing you when you blow another season. Don't be mad at the media when they ask you uncomfortable questions while you're blowing another season. Be mad at yourself.
That said, if hating us is what gets them in the playoffs… hate us to your heart's content. Whatever it takes.
I didn't watch but I heard Gibson left the game injured again after another collision again. That's a huge concern going forward and another reason Yzerman should be fired. No enforcer means teams go after your goalie because they know there won't be any reprocuction. Yzerman put together the softest forward core in the entire league.
Notice how Todd speaks about Mo vs Larkin. He changes the subject when asked about Dylan's leadership but will go on and on about Mo. Todd sees the change needed.
Im not a Larkin hater, or at least wasn't. But its certainly something to see when the playoffs arent really on the line anymore, Larkin explodes and looks like he did early in the season. Like wtf
tRaDe LaRkIn!! LaRkIn iS tHe pRoBlEm!!! BaD cApTaIn!!! All the armchair GM's out there who were calling for his head can literally shut the hell up. Larkin is a battler and a great captain.
Love the wings but too little too late. This team plays amazing when there’s no pressure. You have to win out and even then chance’s are you aren’t making playoffs. Would love to be proven wrong.
It's so fitting that they nearly dominate a game after missing the playoffs. Hope this boosts Larkin's trade value. Larks does much better as a sidekick but he's just not that dude. It sounds harsh but it's pro sports and they make millions so cry me a river.
It was nice to see some joy and some spirit from the boys last night!!! I am certain the past month has been beyond difficult for the players. Nice to see

Detroit is behind Dylan Larkin, haters are drinking their own tears watching fans cheer Larkins name behind Ozzy post game
Aziz the little baby just cried watching his daddy score a HATTY LMAOOOOO

Larkin is a true 1C on a cup contender and a great leader and captain
So you're telling me there's a chance 🤔
Larks is just willing his way through it!!
Let's freaking go! Its about time you guys found that fire to win! Wooooo!!

To little to fucking late.
One semi-decent game and the idiot fans come out. This team sucks ass. Seider and Cat are the only two keepers. Finnie / Kasper too.
Kane: 1G 2A 3 points +1 (7G 16A 23 points, +3 in his last 17 games)
Seider: 1G 4A 5 points +2
Larkin: 3G 1A 4 points +2

Aziz in damn shambles tonight. Larkin with 3 goals😂
Where was this version of the Detroit Red Wings?
Well played guys, too bad it comes after a rough month.
LARKIN HATERS LET ME HEAR YA👂

desperately needed win. disappointed in all their comments talking about the media and doing them vs us. it shows a lack of accountability imo.

Just in time for it not to matter! Should've brought this a couple weeks ago 😒
Let’s freaking go, Red Wings! All we have to do is win the last three games and hope Boston loses their last 3 games!
Stop buying tickets to watch a bunch of soft players. They only played well because there’s nothing on the line.
Fire Yzerman

that is NOT justin faulk bro 😭

I'll take that. Wish we could've seen this weeks ago! Smh
Way to shut some mouths, Dylan.
Too little too late
Is Justin Faulk in the room with us?
Where are all the haters now
Im not a Larkin hater, or at least wasn't. But its certainly something to see when the playoffs arent really on the line anymore, Larkin explodes and looks like he did early in the season. Like wtf
Larkin just taught what happens when you hate on a player for no reason lol. Way to shut your mouths, Larkin haters.

Too little too late…what a shame
Needed this game 2 weeks ago. It's infuriating what this team is.
This year’s team is better than last year’s team. There’s no debating this fact. Better is better. So that’s progress.
LOVE U LARKS!!! OUR CAPTAIN
Sometimes I wish larkin would just show emotion and not look so damn depressed
First hat trick in like 2 years! Can't say that didn't make my day on top of this good win
It's so fitting that they nearly dominate a game after missing the playoffs. Hope this boosts Larkin's trade value. Larks does much better as a sidekick but he's just not that dude. It sounds harsh but it's pro sports and they make millions so cry me a river.

Justin Faulk lookin an awful lot like Mo Seider.
