JT Compher, Dylan Larkin, Derek Lalonde Post Game Comments vs. WPG | Oct. 30, 2024
JT Compher, Dylan Larkin, and Derek Lalonde speak with the media following Detroit’s game vs the Winnipeg Jets at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday October 30, 2024.
Larkin is 100% right! Most of these forwards are good for nothing passengers. This includes any defencmen that isn’t on the top pair. Seider got 2 assists but not his strongest defence especially on that Kyle Connor goal. But that’s the problem. Seider is human, even Cale makar has bad games. If Seider has an off game or period of time in a game we automatically lose which isn’t fair to him at all.
Yzerman built a soft team forwards wise. And the backend stinks. Trade Kane and need to acquire two top pair defenseman and a top line center. Need another big winger that can forecheck. I would call Colorado about Valeri Nichushkin. And call Vancouver about Elias Pettersson or Islanders about Barzal. Maybe Chicago will give you Seth Jones cus he's actually a pretty big upgrade over what you got. Pretty much fire everyone cus this is a trash show.
Hey coach, how about playing aggressively for the whole game and not just for about 12 minutes a game. The 12 minutes you played that way tonite you scored 2 goals and the opponent scored 0. Who knew?
Last year we missed the playoffs be 1 point. I expected more from this 10 games in. This team feels like a Regression from last year. If nothing changes soon then I've about had it with this coaching staff. the same problems from last year have gotten WORSE. Low shot counts, dump and chase, letting way too many scoring chances thru. We sent Walman away instead of Chiarot and Petry the PYLONS
The pistons have more hope and play with more fight right now than this team. Chiarot and Petry are the best pylons we have ever had I can't wait till I never have to see their jersey numbers on my screen again. Everyone hating on Yzerman doesn't see the big picture or not old enough to have seen Yzerman detroit glory days and (still) being one of the best players in the world. He's smart, we have a good core locked up for the future which is where our "window" is going to be. Unfortunately some of our gap fillers over the last few years haven't been the best but they won't be on the team during the cup window anyways. He shaped Tampa Bay up pretty well, proving he is a good GM. The problem is the coaching staff, not just Lalonde. PP is mostly awful and our PK can barely kill anything, players said that it was the most intense camp and how ready everyone was before the season started but people are playing lackluster and with zero urgency. Just look at how the Lions are playing for Dan Campbell right now, perfect example of how dead our team is playing under Lalonde.
We should either be 1-9 or 0-10 but thankfully Lyon carried a few games on his back, and we're still terrible.
At this point in time my feeling is a coaching change. Joel Quenneville gets the most out of his players. Lalonde is too passive and reflects on the players.
When a poorly constructed roster is coached to play undisciplined, uninspired hockey, you get games like tonight’s. Game was over after 20. Team rarely starts on time. Even with a couple PP goals, the special teams looks special needs. Zone entry reveals a lack of skill. Zone exit reveals a lack of discipline. Weak on the puck. Weaker on their man. Passes to no one. Passes in the feet. Shots miss by a foot. Shots in the shin pads. Shots from 30 feet. Shots from acute angles. Disgusting hockey. See ya Saturday! Go Wings! Yay!
What do you think Scotty Bowman would do to handle losses like this? I guarantee you this team would have looked like a new machine right after the first period that went downhill .. let alone whole game / games . This is a horrible joke that got old very fast and here we are still listening to it over and over again for nearly a decade . PATHETIC !!!!!!!
It has not been explained one time why that top line is permanently the top line even as they are terrible every game. 2/3 of the guys on that line have not scored a goal while playing on it this year.
This isnt 2002. The league has changed, its not about defense right now lalonde. Defense is something youbolster once you become a team like Tampa. Right now offense and O zome time+ puck possession is key to be being a winning team. Once you learn that you adapt from there. The wings seem to be stuck in the past. Time for a coaching change and a new outlook going forward.
Y’all being so upset over a loss to the winningest team so far this season is hilarious. We were simply outclassed tonight. Close score after two, bad bounce at the start of the third, bad call by ref leading to the PP goal making it 5-2. I fully acknowledge our shortcomings: soft forecheck, not helping in board battles, too much gap defensively, hope/blind passes, shots/passes in skates, etc. I’m just happy it was close after two periods 😂 Razor still racking points, Watson trucking guys was hilarious, Kasper playing his ass off… good things will come. LGRW! November schedule looks a bit more favorable to make up some points…
10 games in and we get a decent read. Are we tough to play against: No. Are we hard in the D zone: No. Are we scary on the PP: Iffy/no Is our PK rugged and effective: LOL Lyon and Talbot we have your backs bros. This is a joke, wtf. Lalonde seems to be a side-grade to Blash. Give us an NHL level coach again.
Fire Lalonde. He can't even coach a simple dump and chase. When the wings stopped dumping and actually entered the o zone with the puck on their stick, they held pressure and got shots and opportunities. Stop the dump and chase and stop with bad coaches

10 games, 10 being outplayed, outshot, outworked. Unwatchable. Need an NHL Coach, now while the season is salvageable. Joel Q or Gallant. Unreal!
FIRE LALONDE!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Since kane joined the team we are under .500. He is a cancer. Get his ass out!
Petry and Chiarot need to go
Oh captain my captain keep going pop off king
Not gonna win many games only playing 20 minutes. Fire this coach already

Lalonde like “parts of our game.” 🥱🥱🥱

This team just simply looks bad. Lalonde has to go!

The Wings seem to score more in their own net.

If every time he says "unfortunate", you replace it with "unacceptable", Lalonde's assessment sounds about right
Was really looking forward to watching Hockey this season. This is so boring and irritating to watch. This team is so bad under this coach.

Fire Yzerman and his awful plan

Joel Quenneville time
I'm doubting Lalonde more and more but he's not to blame for those first three goals, guys were just sleeping
Not watching another game until lalonde is gone.
10 games in and we get a decent read. Are we tough to play against: No. Are we hard in the D zone: No. Are we scary on the PP: Iffy/no Is our PK rugged and effective: LOL Lyon and Talbot we have your backs bros. This is a joke, wtf.

Did this team even work out in the offseason? Every single team is faster.
Fire Lalonde. He can't even coach a simple dump and chase. When the wings stopped dumping and actually entered the o zone with the puck on their stick, they held pressure and got shots and opportunities. Stop the dump and chase and stop with bad coaches
