  1. This roster is horrendous. Still no elite forward, Still no help for Seider, Powerplay worse, board play worse, scoring worse, effort lapses worse.. goaltending worse, nearly unwatchable. 6 years in we still donā€™t have an elite player. Trade prospectsā€¦ draft picksā€¦ do a complete youth movementā€¦ SOMETHING. Inject some life into this apathetic fan base. Brutal hockey.

  2. At some point itā€™s on the coach to find improvement. Especially defensive transition and breakout, itā€™s been bad for two years now

  3. Canā€™t breakout
    Canā€™t defend a breakout
    Canā€™t score PP goals because itā€™s the most predictable PP in the league
    Canā€™t PK because their system is beer league
    Overhaul the system
    Get a new coach

  4. We need to make some hard decisions. Itā€™s time to get a couple of the kids in the lineup. Sorry to say but the team looks apathetic.

  5. Thereā€™s a fair amount of talent on this roster and they shouldnā€™t look so incompetent and lost. LaLonde hasnā€™t been able to fire these guys up or correct the glaring problems that just go on and onā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.

  6. Steve needs to make some major changes befor we are 5-20. We spent way too much cap this year to be playing this bad. Itā€™s unwatchable. I belive our AHL team can put up more of a fight at this point. Itā€™s a disgrace to the city and legacy of the franchise.

  7. I canā€™t say one good thing about tonight. The offense was good but couldnā€™t find the net the defense was terrible like always and the coaching sucked. Like always.

  8. If you canā€™t defend, you are not a playoff team. There should be no ā€œtrying to get betterā€ā€¦. NHL isnā€™t a development league for veterans. You didnā€™t look any better against Pittsburgh who you should be fighting for a playoff spot so the reality is the veterans lack of execution despite their over priced salary and terrible goaltending

  9. Dude has no idea how to motivate his team. Failed to mention the team had zero energy or fight once they went down. Embarrassing

  10. The poweplay setup is so obvious for the opposing team to defend, which is so stressful to watch when they canā€™t bury one. The PK is the most frustrating to watch. They need to change there style to actually attack and apply pressure to the other team. Too slow and stationary. Hopefully the next coach that gets hired, will have guys like Kasper, Mazur, Danielson and deploy an aggressive approach on the poweplay and most importantly the PK.

  11. This team is a disgrace to hockey. Larkin, Raymond and Seider are the only players who care about winning. Doesnā€™t help that our coach is unmatched when it comes to bringing no energy to a group of people.

  12. Scratch Johansson for Gustafsson, Chiarot on the powerplay, this man is a genius

  13. Offense so far in 4 games:

    Kane 0 goals, 1 assist.

    Tarasenko 1 goal

    Copp 1 goal
    Berggren 0 points (his line mates aren't any better or have much skill to help him produce)

    Rasmussen 0 points

    Motte 0 points

    Veleno 0 points

    The rest of our "top offense" have produced a little but still missed many chances so far. At least our saving grace Raymond is 4 points in 4 games so far.

    Looks like we having issues in everything – powerplay, goaltending, defending, penalty kill and just general offense. Pre season looked pretty bad and I guess I am not surprised it hasn't turned around. Something has got to give

  14. No one was good tonight. This system they're supposed to play is still too hard for them to pull off with any consistency. I really think Lalonde might need to change his approach somewhat, or he'll be changing where he lives, possibly by the end of the season.

  15. Chiarot talking about offensively minded players not buying into playing D while he's trying to always be on defense.. getting the puck and firing it back to the other team on a shite stretch pass every time is one way to get the team to practice playing defense all game.

  16. Lalonde should have been fired last year. Yzerman needs to wake up and fire him. They need a coach who will demand a consistent work ethic. I sound like a broken record. I've been saying this stuff for a year. Also bring up the kids – Kasper especially and buyout Copps contract. Team seems like they want Lalonde fired. They look and sound apathetic.

  17. If I were Chris Illitch, I'd request everyone watch that game, sit down in silence, and then ask them all coaches, players, gm to open their envelopes with their names on it (copy of the check they'd get per game or cost per game per player) and state: You think that was worth it for me? You think you earned that?

    We're f$#%^$ waiving 8-10 MILLION IN CAP… WTF!

    Ohhh man, that was bad. I didn't comment on the last game, because of the decent 1st period. There was nothing decent about this game. I'd bet the GR Team would've played a more cohesive and competent game against the rangers tonight after watching that. The offseason moves are so questionable, unless we're tanking for someone this year…

    This defense is so bad, and it isn't Seider or Edvinsson ( the giveaways will go away with acclimation)… OUCH.

  18. Take away all the special teams and we still lose 2-1 Lalonde, you can't just blame it solely on that. Light a fire in our boys or we'll be playing for a draft pick by February.

  19. Ivw been a dumb delusional supporter of SY. I know hewont get fired but if ut were up to me he'd be gone. He has no clue what an NHL goalie looks like nor does he have a clue wgat to do with 1 free agent dollar.

    I have no faith SY has any idea how to get Detroit out of being the laughing stock of the NHL…NONE

  20. Lazy and uninspired tonight. Arena was dead. This feels more like regression rather than slow start.

  21. Chiarot had something really important to comment on. "We have a lot of guys on defense who are very offensive minded and haven't bought into the mindset of playing D in our zone."

    Yeah. We feel that.

  22. I envy fans of teams who don't fear any opponent. The Rangers have had our number for years. Sometimes it doesn't seem like the wings have gotten better until they start to flip some of these matchups where teams have had their way with us. Almost time for Steve to change his strategy.

  23. THE MEASURING STICK SAYS WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CONSIDERED IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH TOP TEAMS….WE NEED A TON OF WORK

  24. THIS IS NOT ON LALONDE. The team is poorly designed. Give Wahlman and a second away for nothing. Now our D core is terrible. This was supposed to be our year. But I still belive we can make the playoffs! We need playoffs!!!

  25. Please trade Kane to a team that if nothing else will be able to shoot his beautiful passes on the power play into the wide open net. This is every game now. He's got 1 point despite putting it on a tee for Raymond, DeBrincat, Compher on the power play every single game to start the year. This is just sad. I have no idea what he was thinking coming back here to this. He must have just not cared at all about 500 goals or getting the 90 points to catch Modano. Bc there was no clear path to it given what was on the team and who the coach is. And that was even before the horrific power play fails started.

    Expected goals (all situations) w Kane on the ice: 6.31
    Actual goals (all situations) w Kane on the ice: 2

    SHOOT IT INTO THE NET WHEN HE PASSES IT TO YOU AND THE NET IS RIGHT THERE AND WIDE OPEN. Ray in game 1, Compher last game, Cat tonight. Game was lost when Cat missed that open net in the 1st. It's unacceptable. What does he think his job on the team is? It's to make that shot.
