And here it is…the annual collapse. They need a better best player. Larkin is never going to cut it.
They faced another team that never played consistently with so they don't understand the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent. This is a very young team. I give it to they're goalie.. we haven't played him enough to figure out his weaknesses. The team as a unit overall play very very well. This is the type of play I expected from a team that will be playing for the cup within a year or so. There's no doubt a shake up is coming. But I'm not sure if it will come from Grand rapids or trade. As far as trade is concerned there's really no one out there. Jason Robertson, Robert Thomas. To get the pieces we need players we love unfortunately are going to be traded.
Every time the team loses, a lot of our fanbase give power to the despair demons. Let us not run to cynicism every time the team has a bad stretch (or even one bad game).
Mindsets have to change, the positives have to be just as meaningful as the negatives.
We literally shut out the best team in the league Monday and are still in a playoff position.
Stop channeling negativity/disappointment from areas of your own life into our team every chance you get.
Keep that bad-juju-lions-fan energy where it belongs 😢😅
Kyrou and Thomas straight up for Larkin.
I want to believe…. But they just keep giving me reasons not too. Yzerman doesn’t want to deviate, they shit the bed at the worse times and everyone else keeps winning. Smells like another late season collapse.
Oh yeah were ready .great re-sign with CHAROT 3.4 million for 3 yrs😅. Team looked fantastic after that great 1-0 win over Colorado whose been on a losing streak . I believe utah has given up 158 goals and this is how we play .I would never bet on these guys to win . I love my wings but this doing the math crap isn't going for the playoffs it's going for a draft pick plain and simple.
It’s disingenuous to say Detroit is 7 points up on a wild card spot without providing the context that the Wings have played 2 more games. The potential cushion is 3 points, so yeah, start panicking. And again, this is almost exactly where they were last season when Yzerman didn’t think the team had earned a trade deadline addition, so not sure why you think Steve will make a move this season.
At this point, maybe let go appleton or danielson? To get better net presence.
Larkin has not been performing like an Olympian
Thats honestly horrible news. I don't have any faith in this team to hold this together and make the playoffs at this point. I'll believe it when I see it. Too many years of the same type of collapse. This is emotionally exhausting. I'm so pissed they keep doing the same shit. I'm in full blown angry and panic mode
Scotty, your view matters to me
Losing four of the last 5 isn’t a good sign whatsoever. The Redwings 5 v. 5 offense was mediocre— even when they were winning. The question is ‘ are the roster’s shortcomings being exposed now?’ I don’t think we can count on Yzerman to improve it .
There are needs, for sure.
Is anyone surprised that Yzerman has done NOTHING?
Arizona/Utah has had the wings number for years. They play like shit against them. Look it up
Andrew Copp is out of his depth. He needs to be moved down to the third/fourth line (or another team). You can see the frustration on Kane's face after every shift.
At this point there's very little difference between our first and second lines, so lets see what Cat/Larkin/Raymond can do, or even Larkin between Cat and Kane. Maybe it's time to put Kasper back between Cat and Kane. What I know is that what's happening now isn't working.
Also, I think Soderblom has earned a shot at the top line. He grinds hard, wins puck battles, but then has to give the puck to Rasmussen and the play dies.
The Wings will not make the playoffs! That is just a prediction, but it's based on the fact tgat they struggle to score goals, they struggle to control the puck, they struggle to get the puck out of their own end, and they are an easy time to play against because they aren't physical enough. They are a few years away from being a playoff team, but unfortunately they will need a retool because they are weak up the middle.
Red wings are not a playoff team they got lucky. To think differently is delusional
Larkin loses his no trade clause in 2028
I understand Larks retaliating, but you gotta get your money's worth not just break the guys stick
Consistently inconsistent
Might only have 3 points on the Jackets if they win their games in hand.
I once again have to ask what Scotty's been watching. Most of our wins are hard fought, close games. Many of our losses are like tonight's, or the season opener against Montreal. Just absolutely dreadful performances where this team looks like they are lacking the most fundamental components of a winning style of play.
I firmly believe his team is not nearly as good as their record indicates. I think we'll make the playoffs, but unless some broad systemic changes are made, we are an easy out in the first round.
Captain Charmin scored. Plan the parade
I guarantee you after Olympic break, the Wings will tank just like after the 4 nations. Yzerman better have a better strategy at trade deadline than he has in the past years. This team needs at least two offensive forwards and a D man. I see johansson being traded unfortunately and Kasper in the mix. Kane beat Modano's record and that is all good and dandy, but it's time for him to hang up the skates. he should be on the 4th line.
This whole situation HAS set up one 1 thing that can no longer be avoided by Illitch and Yzerman, March 3rd trade deadline. This is the shit or get off the pot moment.
Also someone sticking out a leg and Knee on knee take out. Fighting Worthty, if you can get up and not injured
