Agreed.Systems can succeed where individual talent cannot. Can anyone point out to what controlled breakout system the team is trying to institute beyond rim-arounds and chips out of the zone? Lalonde critiqued Ed at times for holding on to the puck trying to make a controlled play (even on plays where he succeeded). I'm thinking the system is garbage and hence the breakouts are garbage. Forwards aren't in place and/or looking for passes because they aren't supposed to be open and ready for passes. They all turn up ice or park along the boards just below the blueline for the inevitable rim or chip.

Hahaha no he's just overhyped. A name every hopeful fanbase brings up but then he gets to that team and you realize he plays no real system. Develops no youth or pivot to the strength of the players on the team. I think gallant being unemployed or only last 2 years at a time is no mistake.did Gallant like snub you for an autograph as a kid or something lol?
7. Detroit’s Derek Lalonde will be the first coach fired. Feels like there are already signs of friction between Lalonde and Red Wings management. And the temperature is rising in Detroit to make the playoffs.Lalonde on his way out?

Seravelli doesn’t know anything. Lalonde won’t get fired mid season barring an absolutely disastrous start. Yzerman doesn’t fire coaches mid season. Blashill teams were getting blasted and giving up 11 goals in games and he still didn’t get fired mid season. Lalonde getting canned (which id be okay with) also doesn’t mean seravalli has any sort of sources whatsoever. He just throws shots in the dark.
This is how I feel. If we scuffle to start, I don’t think we make a change.we have another ten+ game collapse where the team looks entirely lost and outclassed every night, like what happened a couple of stretches last year, I think he's gone.
The difference being that Blashill was coaching a losing team. Where the team was in the rebuild is miles behind where the current team is located.Seravelli doesn’t know anything.

I believe that even then Yzerman will give him a chance if Yzerman considers the players are developing the right way. That is why he kept Blashill.we have another ten+ game collapse where the team looks entirely lost and outclassed every night, like what happened a couple of stretches last year, I think he's gone.
Why shouldn't he? He's consistently made bad deployment/pairings decisions.Seravalli is an idiot and the odds of Lalonde being fired (let alone being the first coach fired) are abysmal.
I'm not even sure a 10 game losing streak to start the season would do it. There would likely be some moves that would happen first (bringing up Kasper, trading for help on D/G etc).
