it looks too much like last year's style of hockey, creating offense shouldn't be so hard and the other team shouldn't be able to win by only having 3 or 4 real good scoring chances through the whole game
Kane tonight had 28-6 Corsi, 1.31 – 0.29 xGF/xGA; and was great at 5v5, wasn't just on the power play. If Lalonde had a spine he would be trying Larkin w Kane/Tarasenko or just switching Kane and Raymond. Kane is the most gifted offensive forward on the team.
I hope Newsy holds players accountable for lack of effort and intensity during the season from Game 1. No fucks should be given about anyone's feelings whether it's a star or a depth guy if players are conspicuously showing shitty effort
Lalonde needs to coach. That's what he was hired to do. If he does a repeat of last year as a coach, Stevie Y will need to grow a spine and fire him, if necessary. If the coaching were better last year, the Wings would have made the playoffs. I think a John Tortorella style of coaching would have gotten the Wings in the playoffs last year. Let's see what happens this season, especially if the Wings get on a horrific losing streak. Stevie Y didn't fire Lalonde when he probably should have last year after multiple losing streaks. Let's see what Stevie Y does this year with Lalonde, if Lalonde doesn't take responsibility on the loses.
Folks don't need to react so big, so soon in their comments here. I understand that everyone is over missing playoffs but I'm pretty it's not even early days yet.

Kane and Tarasenko doesn't really excite me tbh

Same old same old.

This is where Torts would have lost it. The way the big guys were no show
Lackluster effort.
There was no urgency or intensity. Yes it was preseason but no excuse to lose to mostly AHL level players.
You guys couldn't score this season. The goal is playoffs, and i dont want to hear any BS.
I don't think Stevie is done yet with moves whether it is trades or waiving players.
Most of you guys don't know how preseason works lol
