Probably, the worst performance "effort wise" I have seen over the last decade.

Ok after watching Larkin and Compher there, I think you need to fire Lalonde not to try and save the season, but to save morale from your players.

On the heels of a poor effort game, they doubled down. Completely agree, I know we have a lot of lows, but tonight really felt different in terms of just how bad they performed and seemed to care as it was unfolding.
yeah, he has been frustrated but tonight is different. talking about the disconnect and they are skating working but not accomplishing anything, which I agree with. I don't think he was trying to throw anyone under the bus, just wearing his emotion on his sleeve (for him) but that was an indictment on the coaching staff, intended or not.
Yeah thinking the same. It's fun to root for the tank, but starting to get worried he's causing permanent damage.
I know his salary doesn't get as much focus because of other worse contracts, but Debrincat isn't delivering his contract worth.

We should have just kept Blashill like I said from the beginning.

This.
I've come around to it now. This is not working, and needs to be excised before it metastasizes.

He's probably thinking about his chances of 'winning' with this team and maybe going to Yzerman about a trade...I wouldn't blame him.
I was skeptical of Lalonde after his 1st season...Waaaaaaay too similar to Blashill in just about every way.
Yzerman deserves all the criticism he gets.

Best part of the night has been this post game with Mick and the fights in the stands of that infamous Bruins game where Milbury hit a fan with his own shoe.
Yep yet again the clips from the 1970s are the most entertaining thing tonight
Yeah - unless he's generating offense he's rather invisible like his buddy Kaner.

Just think if there were cell phones back in the 80s...We'd be entertained watching Probert doing lines outta a strippers booty crack.
EDIT - ...at least I would be.
It"ll be good for Larkin to go play for team USA. It'll feel alot different playing on a competitive team.
The "loser culture", that the front office emphatically "tried" to avoid, has 100% been established within the DRW franchise
Nah - what's the point?
I think it was at the 86 to 90% mark while Blashill was still here...

Nah, this game really stood out to me.
Now this is ME saying this, but.
Dump LaLonde, go with Tanguay for the remainder. Like was said above - not for the season, but for the team. Then make a move off-season.

This.
The players are playing this bad to get rid of Lalonde as coach.
Zero effort for the coach or the guys in the room for about the 25th time this year. Time for a full on fire sale and coaching change.

That patch may have changed the trajectory of this entire rebuild.
