GDT: Game 34: Red Wings vs blues 7:00 pm et 12/23/24

If they got the goaltending they had last season, they probably would be. That's what's crazy, the goaltending has actually been pretty good.

They've also had an easy schedule. They're tracking well for 3-4th overall at this point.

 

[ShanahanMan]

the upside is that we have kids in the pipeline who we can look forward to seeing next year. In 19/20 we had...hell, I don't even remember. Zadina?

I honestly don’t see any of our prospects as game changers. Literally zero. ASP looks promising but outside that, cupboard is bare for elite talent.

 

[KJoe88]

Fire them all.

ALL OF THEM!

 

[cvaicunas]

Worst then 19-20 honestly because this team is a result of a rebuild.

I think this is finally rock bottom.

Not sure I would say this is ACTUALLY the result of the rebuild. Draft picks are still developing.But your not wrong, obviously defeating that this is the result of several years of rebuilding the main roster through FA. It's not the end result, but it's pathetic non the less

 

[Winger98]

That was one of the worst games I have seen them play. I know they have a ton of these issues all year and we have seen really bad ones in this 8 year run. But the pride factor especially after the weekend going into a break was embarrassing.

these are the performances that get coaches fired. It's one thing to lose, it's another to lose like this.

We need to start playing some of them more to figure some things out. AlJo shouldn’t be last in minutes with this goal in mind…

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Gustafson played 1 second more than Seider tonight, because Lalonde.

 

[schuelma24]

I was fine keeping Lalonde to help the tank, but I'm getting worried he's going to permanently ruin the young guys.

 

[NervousPerson]

Absolutely disgusting effort. My family had a Christmas pickup game that included ages 4 - 50 years old and we played with more intensity than this. Lifeless.

Poor Bob had a hell of a shitty game to call.

Lalonde is coaching for his job unfortunately. I don't think he's concerned with the development of prospects anymore. I really think it's going to be more, play the vets till the wheels come off.

 

[ShanahanMan]

What’s even worse is that there’s ZERO acknowledgement from the organization that anything is wrong. Rags lose 3 and a row and Drury comes out and tells fans it’s not acceptable. We are one of the worst teams in the league and not a peep from Steve or anyone. In fact, where the f*** is Steve? He’s been MIA since September. Team will continue to pretend everything is fine. So disrespectful to fans.

 

[NervousPerson]

On the positive side Kasper’s line looked the best tonight.

 

[RedWingzz]

This product is so f***** bad man...

It's 2019-2020 all over again.

Rebuild the rebuilt rebuild

So depressing watching this team, I miss when hockey was fun to watch

these are the performances that get coaches fired. It's one thing to lose, it's another to lose like this.

Sometimes you pull the goalie just to kick the team in the butt.

Right?

I said it in game, I fully believe they have quit on him. I think when he bunkered on Friday to blow the game that was it and they punished him with the roster freeze the last two games.

We haven’t played well for a while, but the last two games do look like an FU to the coaches.

The wheels are off

 

[FMichael]

 

[Austrianwing]

Keats and Mick breaking it down pretty well

 

[HoweFan]

I’m going to wait until tomorrow to say anything. If you don’t have anything nice to say….

 

[cvaicunas]

The wheels are off

While typing that, I knew this was the only appropriate response. That said, I think Lalonde is going to continue to act as if they are not. We all see it, he may not

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I hope they made Compher do the post game because other than faceoffs he was garbage tonight.

They have been driving on rims for a while.

Has Yzerman ever let a coach go mid-season?

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Larkin looks so defeated in this post game interview omg.

 

[Austrianwing]

Wow. Larks and Compher have the body language of two little boys in trouble with Mom...
Sigh.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Dylan stopping just short of saying "we're not playing as a team."

Disconnected pretty much covers it thought. No chemistry. Controller disconnected.
