NHL refs need to be held accountable for once. When you knock a player out with a punch who is defenseless that is attempt to injure. Lalonde should be pissed.
I was surely hoping we were going to get another clean year from Larkin injury wise and what happened tonight of course had to happen. I sure hope this doesn't F up what we had going so far this year.
Lalonde seems way too casual about how this game turned out. He needs to be calling out these refs because these dangerous hits are becoming way too common against the wings
Thankfully, they’ve already played Ottawa 3/4 times so they won’t have to deal with their bs much longer. Ottawa is a last place team and they’re going to act like it. Would’ve been nice for the Wings to rally but it’s difficult to do when the captain nearly gets stretchered off the ice and they lose a few other forwards. Rough game, use it as momentum going forward.
In the very least Joseph punched Larkin in the back of the head and he definitely tried to bring his stick all the way up. Perron deserved the match penalty but Joseph deserved one as well. Knowing the department of player safety, I doubt he'll even get a hearing. Aside from the game, I really hope Larkin is alright, haven't seen anything that scary in a Wings game since Jiri Fischer.

Wings need to put bids on their opponents. What is this coaching staff telling the Wings about putting bodies on their opponent? Yzerman, will you please look for better coaching? I love it how Lalonde pulls Lyon from this game, again with a horrific Wins defense once again, yet he didn't pull Husso when Husso was getting blown away after 6 goals just recently….. Lyon is a very good goalie. He needs decent defensemen. This is the problem here. Pelikka, Edvinsson, and Marco Kasper need to come up from the minors hopefully sometime this year.
Lol everybody complaining about Joseph but it was Kelly (#27) on Ottawa that knocked Larkin out. I’m a Wings fan and I don’t believe they should have given Kelly a 5 minute major. He didn’t throw a punch or use his stick as a weapon. Kelly’s glove inadvertently caught Larkin clean on the chin bc Larkin turned around so quick after getting hit by Joseph. Refs got it right this time IMO.
I never thought I could dislike a team more than Toronto. Ottawa somehow succeeded them. What a bunch of dirt bag players. They play to hurt and they often do it.
I think Kelly was the one who did it. You could see his body language was much more nervous during the review. To bad that puck at the end of game didn’t hit him harder.
Absolutely pathetic. Your leader gets hurt and that's the performance you show. Lalonde then proceeds to show love to the refs. Get this disgrace out of here. He is not a good coach. This game was worse than the Sharks game. Terrible performance. I need a shower after watching this.
The NHL hates this franchise. They always have hated the Wings. Even when the Wings were dominant and single handily propped up the Western Conference in the 90s and 00s all the calls were against the Wings. Detroit never got away with anything and never got any favorable calls on borderline goals/penalties. It's ridiculous. This Joseph guy is the same punk who boarded Larkin a couple years ago and Detroit got the penalty for trying to get him to answer the bell.

Derek Lalonde and that whole coaching staff needs to go after that postgame presser.
Perron, got a match penalty for attempt to injure. So what in hell was Joseph's play. He should have got a match penalty.
Fire up the draft lottery simulator. Who should the Red Wings draft 9th overall this year?
We got waaay too many soft players. Our Captain got injured in a dirty play and none of you targeted Joseph… soft as a marshmallow

There's going to be a lot of rational comments here.

The announcers said before the game started that we were going to be yelling at the refs

I hate the Senators. Feels like they get away with murder every time they play them….

Great job signing klim kostin for added toughness. And then scratching him in all of your tough match ups.
Ugly game. Id really like to see some changes on the PP and the PK, don't know if thats a new coach or what, but somethings gotta give
Good to see Kane getting 1 tonight. Also his vision is absolutely insane out on the ice.
You wouldn’t think he missed so much time. Hardly any rust on his game at Ll

Finding a lot of ways to lose lately. Their special teams are complete garbage again. Looks more like last year's team.
What a fool Perron is. The guy he hit wasn't even involved. Despicable
I’d like to see Reimer get some time in net coming up
Why could we hear the reporters questions when the team was in Europe but not in America?
Cmon Newsy..
how many times are you going to compliment the damn Refs?
The “Officials” need to be reviewed after this one!
Hope the team can regain its focus and momentum it had before the last 2.
11 goals allowed is not a pretty sight.

Hey Lalonde, it takes your captain getting knocked out to play with grit? Perhaps get ahead of that next time

I hate Ottawa. This feels like the makings of a rivalry. I really hope Larkin is ok, that man is being put through the ringer
The third such injury. Could it be career threatening?
youd think an original 6 franchise would have rational, knowledgable hockey fans…

Losing respect for this guy and his ref ball sucking
pain

Have some fucking balls Lalonde. Stick up for your fucking guys. Also let them know that can't keep playing like this.
