GDT: Game 29: Red Wings at flyers 7:00 pm et 12/12/24

[19 for president]

Time to start the sell. I'd rather watch scrubs and kids at this point. At least they'd try. Anyone not named Larkin, Seider, Ed, Ray and Kasper should be available. Maybe keep Talbot so we have a legit vet to platoon with Cossa next year.

Maybe we can pull a Tigers if we deal some or all of a vets and get a competent coach or tank and get a legit top 3.

This is utter trash to watch. You can't sell this as innsulating young guys or preventing a losing culture. If this isn't a losing culture I don't know what is...

So what the hell is going on at Wings practices??

 

[Lampedampe]

I know it's alot to ask, but have we seen a proper blowout win this season? I can't remember one, a couple convincing wins maybe.

 

[schuelma24]

Toronto and Philly again and then 2 against Montreal..gotta think losing to Montreal twice, as I fully expect, would be enough for Stevie to start the sell off.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Suddenly don't feel so great about that Buffalo win seeing as how they have lost 8 straight now.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

I do not see the point of pulling the goalie a second time. Lalonde getting desperate.
We were thoroughly outplayed, really no positive to draw from this game other than Talbot. Like the notorious games vs. Ottawa, this seems to shine a light on where we are as a team realistically. Its not pretty.

 

[saska sault]

Marchand of all people said something smart in reference to the Bruins getting blown out the other night.

You play how you practice. I’ve heard that a lot over the years. Bruins practices had been sloppy and so was their game.

So what the hell is going on at Wings practices??

Dump and chase, icing the puck repeatedly, playing from behind, stick checking.

I'm glad I opted to watch Thursday Night Football instead.

 

[Winger98]

and somehow we're still not one of the five worst teams in the league...and only 5 points from being in the playoffs.

 

[GMR]

Fire Ilitch
Fire Yzerman
Fire Lalonde

Since Yzerman is a club legend, he should be allowed to take the black if he so chooses.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Story of the night is that 50% of a 100% gave only 25%.... Heap of trouble.

Can’t even tank correctly

Can’t even tank correctly

I have faith. The Wings have the hardest remaining schedule in the league.

Larkin post-game sounds super defeated. Frustrated that they can't play a consistent hockey game. Understandably

Blashill and now Lalonde...Just inept coaching...The guys Yzerman drafted/traded for/signed as UFA are not this bad - they were competent on other rosters under different coaching staffs.

I actually thought he was about to start crying when he had his head down.

Yzerman needs send a message, fire Kane. If he won't accept a trade anywhere, waive his ass. He has to go.

Maybe for the forwards, but certainly not for the defensemen. They were all terrible on their previous teams. And a good defense helps the forward a lot. I think it's a mix of coaching and brutal UFA signings.

I feel bad for him and believe in his best interest he should request a trade.

Starting to get a bit worried about Kasper's production, I know he's young but there aren't many players who had his kind of stats when they were 20 and then became very good point producers. At least I can't think of many.

If this was last years team I'd be concerned, unfortunately he's our 2nd best center and this team isn't coached/built to generate any offense at the moment. His production doesn't concern me because he has shown skill at this level, he's just on a team that makes it really difficult to produce anything.

He should call Hank and talk about it. That man suffered so much through all these interviews during his captaincy..
