GDT: Game 32: Red Wings vs habs 7:00 pm et 12/20/24

I just want to see Dylan happy at press conferences. Guy deserves nothing but some happiness in Detroit. The shit he's gone through....

maybe he should be better and will the team to win/ or even actually get them ready for games with his leadership

At this point, I’d welcome an interim coaching change just to see if some our scrubs look any better in a different light. Maybe guys like Ras and Compher could find their game under a new head coach. Reestablish some trade value in these guys.

Dylan at 110% isn't making this current team much better. The flaws run much deeper than him, he's not perfect but he's far from the problem.

I appreciate that Larkin is driven and wants to win... but also, it's a game. Have fun. You get paid millions to play a game. Throughout his tenure as captain, I've never gotten the impression that he's enjoying the ride. He's never really unclenched.

I can see that also. Hard to tell if he hates losing, or if he's maybe just not a very outgoing guy. I can't say I personally would love a camera shoved in my face during every loss.

Like you said you got 8+ million reasons to put on a smile. I appreciate his serious nature when it comes to being a captain, I think you need that in a captain, but you also need a guy who can get spirits up. I do think he has some huge shoes to fill with the list of Wings captains historically and that puts a pressure you don't feel in many cities. Especially when we have been hot garbage for basically his entire career. You likely start to feel like the common denominator.

Still love the guy. He's been the reason to tune in for some really bad years. Want to see him get his moment in HockeyTown.

On that note, I do believe they need a coaching change and/or a locker room change. They may have all great locker room guys but that doesn't matter if it doesn't work on the ice. As much as Larkin looks like he isn't enjoying the ride, the whole team looks like that. Not just him. Minus Fischer usually.

 

[Dotter]

Coaching is fine. Nothing to see here.

Stevie actually paid to get rid of the one guy that was having fun. Really sounds like a management issue.

I’m watching the Habs feed because SportsNet+ sucks ass and you can’t choose your feed anymore and these guys have been slobbng on Hutson’s knob the entire game. It’s insufferable.

That and they also sucked at calling the game. All they did was talk about how good certain Habs were and how good Kane is. Garbage that we can't pick the broadcast as well over half the games this season have been the other broadcast and now we are going on 3 in a row without Ken and Mick with the Phi and 2 MTL games.

RIGHT NOW they obviously aren’t and probably won’t be. This team was immensely better last year. But something is up. We’re not this bad.

Goes to show how unappreciated Ghost and Perron were. No idea why we let them go. Same with Maatta

Whatever is going on it’s infecting the team.

It’s so depressing.

Because they accepted longer terms deals on other teams. 2 years for Perron and 3 for Ghost.

At the end of last season people here were uncertain about giving either of them a one year deal, let alone two or three.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Winning these two montreal games might have been the last chance. Now it’s miracles required to not have this be a tank year.
