Yeah, about that....

7 straight wins. That actually impressive. I thought the Wings were dead last but they’re *checks notes* 10th. Incredible!

I don't know if this recent stretch just shows McLellan is a good coach or if LaLonde was just genuinely that bad of a coach.

Both…McLellan is good/experienced while Lalonde was a massive swing and a miss on Yzerman’s behalf.

It takes time to undo the damage of the first 35 games.

You think that now. After 5 years of first round exits you’ll be singing a different tune.

That's a later problem.

I'd add that coaches can also learn, get better, or find the right fit just like players. Some haters said McLellan would run extremely boring defensive systems and the Wings have probably not looked this good offensively in close to a decade.

A lot of people in this thread proving they're not at all bitter.
