  1. I don’t feel we filled the gaps left with the departure of Perron, Ghost, Sprong and Walman. Our young guys are gonna have to really show up and give us some depth.

  2. We have a rebuild that hasn't had a rookie start the season last year or this, with an average age of 28.45. Most of the other teams that are rebuilding including the Senators, Blue Jackets, Sharks, Sabres, Canadiens, and Ducks are amongst the 10 youngest teams in the league. The Red Wings are the 9th oldest. This isn't a rebuild.

  3. Lalonde is the worst coach at managing his goalies I have ever seen. He overworks one and runs them into the ground, never pulls them when they are getting shelled. Didn't play Lyon the first month last year and couldn't even dress the right backup when they carried 3 goalies. Lyon only won 3 of his last 16 games, he didn't play Reimer enough.

  4. This 2024-25 roster was SOOOOOOOOOO predictable. Apparently only injuries are going to force management to play the young guys.Kasper and Mazur (maybe even Danielson) are ready to play and contribute in the NHL right now. For no good reason, most of the veterans lacked urgency and tenacity in the preseason. This roster has NO sandpaper or mean intimidation I've been hoping for for years. Stevie Y must forget what Probert, Kocur McCarty and Konstantinov did for him and his teammates.
