When did I ever say he was cheap?? Lmao

Sure we'd all want that legit star... and who would that be exactly??? They dont make it to free agency

We get the has beens . I got slack for saying tarasenko was gone and ppl arguing he could be a 30 goal guy again lol ... If kane was never hurt he never would have come here

Again no free agent stars are coming , and the way we suck we had to overpay compher and copp ... again 2 scrubs I got attacked for cause I said they were bottom 6 guys and ppl actually thought they were 2c's

Yup 2026-2027 is the year we turn things around next season is more pain cause we'll be inserting kids with 0 nhl experience but itll also be fun to watch and what needs to happen

Maybe not you, but every Tigers fan.

Stevie needs to trade for a star or tank and draft one. This free agency crap obviously isn't working. 6 seasons into his tenure, he still hasn't acquired a 2C. If Danielson isn't 2C caliber, Stevie will get fired. He's got all of his eggs in one basket now.

This is looking like a disaster of a season. Not firing the coach is just crazy to me. Like this team isn’t good but they also shouldn’t be this bad. The players look lifeless out there, like they don’t even want to be there. They clearly don’t want to play for him, and just dragging out the inevitable at this point is stubborn from yzerman. We all know Lalonde is not coming back and the team is playing horrible, just admit you made a bad coaching hire and fire this guy. I’m sorry guys but I just really am worried about the incompetence surrounding this franchise right now.

Just watched the highlights.

Pretty typical. Start flat footed. Get outshot 2:1. Rally final moments of the game. Fall short.

As other have said, so many players seem checked out. Many just suck ass.

I absolutely hate Lalonde at this point, but am starting to resent Yzerman at this point as well. He is so basic. Like what the f*** is plan B, Steve?

It's been like this for years playing in Philly. Better play for dignity against Toronto on Saturday. Another poor game there and it'll be the most likely time for Lalonde to get fired. Three days between that game and the next one.
We've lost around 12 out of the last 17 games or something along those lines. At this point I really don't see any lose being, 'the final straw.' I don't see Lalonde getting fired man.

Lalonde: we won that game on paper like the last 30 games.
Problem is, your essentially directly quoting his post game presser.

Looks like I chose to miss a good game….

The team’s playoff aspirations continue to move further and further out of reach.

Going to be a big game Saturday night, hopefully they bounce back.

Ask Jaster about.

It isn't hard to turn off the tv instead of watching this shit.
I will be checking the box scores but that's it.
Lol, especially on Saturday. I can think of a lot of other things to do and that need done.

Been saying for the longest time we needed to tank to get a star and ppl just got mad at me for rooting them to lose at the end. Then people complain we suck lol

No star in his prime is coming here atm if they're serious about winning. We get bottom line scrubs who are overjoyed to be overpaid for once. Is what it is. I think the days of stars wanting to come will be a few years away but it's not now

Best thing to do is trade ppl and "unintentionally tank " this season and get in the top 3. Look for a young enough player that hasn't been in 3 different teams already that teams might be frustrated with can turn things around

Cozens,byfield etc... trading for a star player with 2 years left on his deal and ca just leave afterwards isnt the way to go

Not a star but Heard of cam fowler rumors. What for ?? 33 years old , are we doing anything next 2 playoff runs?? Go after a k'andre Miller or nic Hague. Again someone young enough that can help and be here longterm to turn this franchise around for good

Think danielson will be a 3c j Staal like when he was in Pittsburgn. Hope I'm wrong,again best thing to do is get a top pick this year. This is what happens when we draft closer to 10 than we should have. Yzerman only gets fired if his picks mostly bust

I do think we have alot of guys with nice potential coming within a few years

Anyways Wtf do I know

To be optimistic:

We didn't expose Cossa to that performance. Especially the 2nd period. Could've really done some damage to his mentality.

4 more games until Lalonde is fired

I'm wondering what lesson Ilitch learned from going cheap and getting Baez instead of spending and getting Correa.

At forward I would start doing whatever it takes to dump these bad contracts and replace them with AHL jobbers. Tenacity, grit and speed is the name of the game. If you can’t score you should at least be able to execute a game plan. Speed needs to win out in lineup decisions. We are too damn slow right now

If Danielson winds up being a 3C, Stevie's entire tenure is an epic fail. Imagine being one of the best centers ever to play the game and being unable to acquire a 2C after 2 tries in free agency and 2 top 10 draft picks. Not to mention Kenny's previous fail with Joey and Raz. Worse yet, the head scout was also a center, as was Boyd "Bambi" Gordon, their pro scout.

Nate does have 10 pts in his last 11 games, and Kasper looks good at time, but neither are able to actually score goals.... which is definitely concerning. I think they could both still be 2C, but both need scoring wingers. Neither of them shoot enough. Neither look like they have 1C potential.

The draft will be interesting, because Stevie needs a center, but the BPA might be a winger. I'd feel a lot better if Stevie had picked Hage instead of MBN last draft, that kid looks like he could be 2C.

Bummer that the east is mainly pooping their pants this year. If they did it last year we make the playoffs.
Which only really makes a difference as far as the record books are concerned, this team would still suck today.
