LaLonde Fired. McLellan Hired in DET

[Dotter]

With a win today and after Montreal Canadians loss last night, Todd McLellan's new team will surpass MTL and take the last WC slot. When was last time Detroit had a 7 game winning streak?

I did not see a Redwings win streak coming.. There is new life and energy. See if it carries on.

The team, especially the stars, look to be on fire. Seider has been an absolute BEAST. Todd Mclellan said Seider has so much more in him and will break out to other levels.

Scored 4 goals in 8 minutes of the game. Is this still considered a "coaching bump", or are the DRWs legit?

Mildly hot take:

This is not a bad move. McLellan knows how to build a team. He got the Oilers into the playoffs and then did the same with LA, both after rebuilds.

His issue is he can’t get teams over the top to take the next step.

But if you’re Detroit you need to make the playoffs first. Worry about the next coach later.

The McLellan effect is real.

 

[Dotter]

Wings just leapfrog Canadians in the standings.

A lot of you owe TMac a handwritten apology letter for your lack of faith in him.

McLellan rubbing the right spot. Gotta eat some crow, they look good.

Koala’s teams always “look good” in the regular season. Wait for the playoffs when he’s running the 1-3-1 down by two in an elimination game.
