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.
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.
I have said for a long time that Lalonde is not capable of getting the job done. However, everyone can learn and develop, so can Lalonde too.
I see the young players were doing very good even great during the preseason. Maybe Lalonde learned a thing or 2.
There are teams which are obviously better than us, but devils, Sabres, Sens and philly are getting better. So Lalonde's job is not getting easier.
If Lalonde has lost the team, Yzerman has to react real quick
