OH I can’t wait to hear this
Kasper up!!! I hope you show them they can’t send you back!!!!!!!!
Lemme guess analytics say we should have won and happy with the effort.
wonder if newsy interrupts players like he does reporters
headin back to tampa bud
Much better 5 on 5 game from Gus? Christ, man.
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.
IIIIIITTSSSS TIIIIIMEEE! 🐙👻🐙👻

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!
Gustafson? More like BUSTafson
Get this guy outta here… for real
😂 When the Wings finish October 1-9 or 2-8, maybe just maybe Lelonde will feel his butt burning.
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.
Is that seat warming up already?
I want us not to suck anymore.
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?
No one can play under this guys system. Can him Steve
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
Gustafsson has to go…
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.
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.
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.
Relax boys.. holy shit. 🤣 team is going to be fine. Only 4 games in
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.
Get your eyes off of your stat sheets Derek and go coach your team.. Cuz they look like garbage right now.
you guys are going crazy over losses to a Stanley cup team lol fake fans for real
This coach sucks.
vote trump if you're from michigan better jobs, better economy, no wars, safe border, low gas prices choose wisely vote trump
At this rate this dude will be unemployed by US Thanksgiving.
Analytics mean nothing when that’s your excuse each game. You either get the job done or you don’t.
Fire this boob. Oldsy = AHL coach.
Wings need a Coach with PASSION not analytical bean counter. 3 losses by 3 goals. Lalonde HAS to go. He’s lost the room.
Newsy is running out of excuses. You just don't get it, Newsy. You just don't have a clue!
I just think the roster for the defense should be much further along than it is at this point. Maata, Chiarot, Petry, and Holl are all plugs. They're not playoff plugs either. We had Walman and Ghost leave and it shows now more than ever. Chiarot drags Seider down, and it's horrendous with anyone else.
This team is in trouble. Yzerman has become the Russ Thomas of Detroit hockey. That, and he set his sights on shoring up the defense and the goalie situation, which he thinks he did. And if he did, what's the problem? Because the defense picked up right where they left off last season. Why??? It's not the players – it's Coach Lalonde again. I mean, did you see how this team played while short handed? Standard "box" defense with no movement. They looked like mannequins out there. If this team gets off to a record of 3 – 12 or worse, Derek Lalonde needs to be fired and Yzerman needs to hire a BONIFIED, tried & battle tested, NHL experienced head coach before this season is lost in its first month of play.
Bet that seat is getting hot! i understand this team doesn't have the talent of other teams, but man they've looked so lost and passionless, almost disinterested and that's on coaching. Better figure it out, Newsy. Can't let this ship sink. Can't make the playoffs in October, but man you can miss them.
We have the players it’s his system that is flawed
