  1. Gus looks like trash. Mo deserves PP1 and Johanson deserves his everyday roll. I mean who would have thought Holl would be out-performing him.

  2. This guy is an android. No heart or emotions whatsoever. The real problem is he doesn't connect with the players and has no command over the locker room. Fire this lame and get someone REAL at the helm who loves Detroit and wants to win!

  3. 😂 When the Wings finish October 1-9 or 2-8, maybe just maybe Lelonde will feel his butt burning.

  4. Bum of a coach. Line combos are so ineffective. So tired of this guy dragging the team down and showing ZERO emotion loss after loss. “High compete” my lord, this is so played out.

  5. Wow, lots of hate for the coach, perhaps everyone should save some of that ire for the person that actually signed all the guys who aren't getting it done on the ice?

  6. The only difference in my mind between this clown and Matt Patrica is about 40 pounds and different sports. Both horrible coaches that the players don’t respect or play for

  7. I would love to know if newsie tells the locker room to finish every check on the ice. Because I don’t see any of that.

  8. I was expecting more from Kane and Tarasenko to start the season. Yes that goes for Debrincat as well. Would be nice to see Raymond break out.

  9. Kane is at 1 point thru 4 games bc his teammates have been effing up every single setup. He gets apparently demoted back off the top line bc of DeBrincat playing horribly the first two periods last night. And now Kasper is called up and Kane doesn't even get him? The Compher Kane Tarasenko line got utterly demolished in game 1. It is a horrific line combo. Basically an opponent power play every shift. Kasper is better than Compher and certainly much better for old slow skilled Kane and Tarasenko.

    I fully expect 88 to become a locker room problem w this latest move. There's only so much a legend can or should put up with from a glorified AHL coach.

  10. Team is coasting bc they want Lalonde fired and they lost goal scoring and leadership with the loss of Perron and Ghost. Lalonde lost the room last year and should have been fired then. Pretty obvious to me. Make the change already.

  11. Get your eyes off of your stat sheets Derek and go coach your team.. Cuz they look like garbage right now.

  12. vote trump if you're from michigan
    better jobs, better economy, no wars, safe border, low gas prices
    choose wisely
    vote trump

  13. Analytics mean nothing when that’s your excuse each game. You either get the job done or you don’t.

  14. Wings need a Coach with PASSION not analytical bean counter. 3 losses by 3 goals. Lalonde HAS to go. He’s lost the room.
