Slow start on offense for Lucas Raymond and other scorers — What is our level of concern?



The Detroit Red Wings are 3-3 on the season thus far, an acceptable outcome in a very difficult October schedule. What trends have we seen in this early season and what level of confidence or concern does it give us? One notable trend is the quiet start of the season from Lucas Raymond and the Red Wings other top scorers. Should we be worried? Also, previewing the New Jersey Devils. #LGRW

  1. They’ve gotta be sick. Some of them at least. I can’t imagine any other scenario that makes sense. The NYI game was so so bad.

    On another note, Kasper looks amazing. Please tell me there’s no world where he goes from third line center back to Grand Rapids.

    On yet another note, I’m watching the Oilers v Hurricanes game and it’s refreshing to watch competitive hockey again after last nights “performance.” 20 min in and both of these teams are animals.

  2. Watch. If Lalonde stops this def first on an offensive team or Lalonde gets fired then I bet the goals start coming in.

  3. Watch Brian while Scotty talks, the guy is all over the place, only a couple of months of marriage and he's already losing his marbles. Lord have mercy on his poor soul! lol

  4. Listen to Kane's postgame comments from yesterday and draw your own conclusions.

  5. my thing for the top 6 on offense, is they're always looking for the pretty, tic tac toe goals. you don't score those goals very much in the playoffs unless your offense is super elite. it seems like we're trying to replicate the maple leafs at this point. no net front presence, no taking away the eyes of the tendy. you don't always need the perfect shot to beat a good goalie

  6. you should be very concerned bc it's not a fluke. the team is being coached to play 5v5 like a penalty kill.

  7. I still think you give this team an elite 2nd line center and another top 4 defenceman. You'd have a drastically different team.

  8. team corsi at even strength is like 40%. Lalonde has the offense playing penalty kill all the time, dump and chase (ie turnovers on purpose), and in the analytics he's getting penalty kill numbers as a result.

    it's about the worst coaching i've ever seen.

  9. The Wings have faced Blomquist (>.900 sv%), Saros, Shesterkin, Quick, Saros, and Sorokin. That is a murderer's row of goaltenders with teams that aren't scrubs in front of them. Let's get a larger sample size.

  10. if ya cant get out of your own end its gonna be tuff to score goals. uncle fester hasnt fixed that since he's been here .

  11. Not worried about offense. Everyone is overstating the emphasis on defense and turning the lack of production into a coaching issue. The same coaching talks about playing with possession. Possession is not dump and chase. Even the couch GMs and head coaches in the comments know this team isn’t sized for that game. The problem is clearing our zone and transition. When you don’t get out of your zone until 1 minute into your shift you’re going to dump and change. The problem is still team defense and exiting our zone. It will improve. Kane’s frustration is with the team play not coaching.

  12. I don’t want to be mean by Scotty is out of his depth. Offers basic observations about production and no real understanding of the game.

  13. You’re telling me the unsustainable shooting percentage masquerading as an actual offensive system didn’t get better in the offseason?
    And an entire team of bottom six forwards is already playing at their ceiling?!
    …I can’t believe it. I won’t believe it. Surely the signs last season didn’t point to the team being fraudulent.
