Dylan Larkin, Alex Lyon, Derek Lalonde Post Game | Oct. 14 vs NYR
Dylan Larkin, Alex Lyon and Head Coach Derek Lalonde speak with the media following the Red Wings matchup with the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
Gotta work on some fundamental things still. Team is having way too hard a time moving up the ice, sustaining pressure, and that power play is way too deliberate and methodical. The Rangers don't hesitate, they see a play and they go for it. Seems like we spend most of our time on offense working for no reward, not even a shot on goal.
Star forwards non existant again. Kane coasting big time for the 3rd game in a row. Ras, Copp, Motte, Chiarot all utterly useless. Motte literally wussed out of blocking the shot for the 3rd Rangers goal. PP is crap. Johansson was solid again. Wings ain't making the Play-offs.
I will say, defense looked pretty good tonight. That being said, we won’t beat any good teams this year because Yzerman did nothing to improve the roster. If anything we got slightly worse. Just another mediocre season incoming. Also, you have a goalie post a 42 save shutout and don’t start him again? Poor coaching decision. That’s becoming a trend..
I can’t be the only one thinking Kane is an absolute liability. Cant win a battle, he ruins the flow on the first line. Positives are Albert looks great so does Holl. Raymond and Larkin need to play together.
Our third line is a 4th line. Kane is being paid to coast and lose every board battle. He is dragging Larkin down. Raymond and Larkin must always be together. Defence looked good tbh. Lyon should of had the first and third goal imo. Now we have to verse a hungry Nashville who is looking for their first win of the season. Hopefully tarasenko tries for more than 2 shifts next game.
I feel like the only way we win games is if the other teams dosent play up to there standards we have no standards to play up to coach needs to light a fire under the guys
The races to the puck were crisp. The entries in the zone were crisp. Blocked shots help a lot. Everything else needs time in the fryer. Please fix it. Ray and burger are the best players on the team in that aspect right now.
Too many forced passes again. Turning puck over immediately in ozone. Similar to last year really. Tendy was fine. Defense was good enough. Offense just couldn’t get it going. I know we’re a rush team but you don’t have to play as much defense if you spend more time in the ozone. Oh… faceoffs killed us tonight. Probably the deciding factor honestly.
Team needs to keep it simple. Just work harder on 1 on 1 battles. Generate traffic in front of the net! Lyon wasn’t bad tonight. Cam and Lyon will be good but they need everyone else to get going. Call up Kasper
according to hockeystatcards, the analytics, and the eye test, Pat Kane was the Wings best player tonight. and according to the analytics and eye test, the Wings straight up outplayed the Rangers at 5v5 tonight, in their building. yet read some of the replies here and on twitter from the bad faith dishonest 'Wings fans' going out of their way to trash Kane and say the lines aren't working, etc. we get it, you want Raymond w Larkin. Lalonde and Yzerman want him w Larkin too. but the actual team play so far strongly indicates that the team is best when Kane is on the top line. and certainly Kane is best when w Larkin, and the difference between him w Larkin and w Compher is so severe the team can probably not afford to do it. Raymond can carry that 2nd line, from what i've seen. it won't be as easy, but he can do it.
So do you want the team to be best, or do you want Raymond to get easier numbers? Pick one. but don't call yourself a Wings fan if you care more about his numbers than about the team. and don't call yourself a Wings fan if you are trashing a member of the Red Wings and lying about his play to suit your agenda.
I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I could watch the game for a bit. Watched the equalizer at the end of the first and decided to watch the second period and I was so impressed by the Red Wings! Unfortunately the Rangers have a goalie who’s elite most nights.😅 If they played like trash in the first and third period I get all the complaints, otherwise I’m kind of puzzled. It’s not like they were playing against a bad team.
I dont think Alex Tanguay knows how to run a powerplay. And Lalondes decisions as far as who goes where cough* didnt start Talbot tonight cough* needs to be studied at this point. the man is blind to reality. These coaches have a really good team that they just do not know how to manage and use unfortunately. Let me guess, there solution for the Next game will be Rasmussen on the top line and Power play 1. Sounds about newsy. 🤡 's
God our pretend fanbase is a joke. The team plays one game against a top 5 NHL team and suddenly they know everything about hockey. Igor probably robbed 2-3 goals and was hot tonight. Move on and keep working hard. This team can win the hard ones but you have to able to accept a loss from a good team without bashing someone you supposedly support every single loss of the season.

Yth would you start Lyon? Where’s Talbot? Get rid of Husso! I hate those stupid memes by a certain Ranger fan!
Igor played like a $10 million man tonight. Now you know where you are, Newsey/SY. You gonna use the Husso cap for help or let this stand?

We couldn't score at all, and we need to stop making these stupid penalties it's getting ridiculous. We need to score on powerplay

THE FIRST THING STOP THE DUMP AND CHASE!!!!!!

I thought we looked good. Rangers are a damn good team and we had some grade A scoring chances. I liked what I saw from berrgren and holl tonight
Why is Berggren in the lineup still. I get it…waivers. Can we just fast forward to waivers and bring some kids up!?

Might be time to trade Bergren and Veleno for a top 4 D. Where are all of the Bergren apologists??? Dude was belly down on the ice most of the night.

Played great. That PP will start working soon. Loved the energy and forechecking, feels like we picked up where we left off last season. LGRW!

Pressure is mounting to bring in a top 4 D man and better coach.
