  1. Apathy & disinterest…I gave up on the Yzerplan last year when they missed the playoffs…again. I just watch the 12-minute highlights, I'm not paying to watch this crap.

  2. Yzerman has the REST OF HIS LIFE, to get this right. ElCheapo Trust Fund Chris, will NEVER fire his good friend of 40 years. Stevie is QUICKLY becoming Russ Thomas.

  3. Times running out on the Yzerplan, Lalonde is a bum and if they had any common sense they’d get rid of him NOW. The fact that they haven’t tells me Yzerman isn’t willing to admit he goofed up BAD here.

  4. Even more damning that every GM after Yzerman has done a LOT MORE with less time turning there bad teams around. Scott Harris got the Tigers turned around in two years with none of his draft picks having even shown up yet, Brad Holmes built a Super Bowl roster in four years, they better hope Trajan Langdon doesn’t get the Pistons in a play in on his FIRST SHOT.

    Damn.

  5. Wish I could just watch the team play consistently….😭😭😭😭 Plan, not good enough. Play the young guys, stop stocking the shelves with maybe and could bes.

  6. I began watching the Wings in '73. I followed Yzerman to Tampa Bay. When their time was up, I started following Florida. Before last season, I wondered who to follow more the Pistons or the Wings. Yzerman has now turned me into a Pistons fan. Bummer with hockey is it takes years for draft picks to mature, while the NFL and NBA are almost ready when they're drafted. Yzerman has been a bust.

  7. Lalonde needs to go. This team is listless. Not ready to play. At least half a dozen times last night and every game the puck doesn't get out. It takes them three or four tries to get it out. They take terrible penalties and are horrendous on the kill. They never carry the puck into the zone which is today's game. It's constantly dump and chase dump and chase. Getting outshot by twenty every game is ridiculous. Petry, Chariot and Holl are not good NHL defenseman. It's a dumpster fire. Have some balls Stevie. Fire this emotionless coach that none of these guys play for and get a new voice in there. Gerard Gallant maybe? Done watching this team this year.

  8. Ill fix the redwings right now for free – Fire Lalonde, take Petry out behind the barn, let Rasmussen, Compher and Fischer get claimed on waivers, healthy scratch chiarot, Call up Danielson, Johannes and Mazur/Soderblom and walinder/Buium, recall buchelnikov and pelikka to GR. There maybe we will win some games.

  9. You aint gotta be ah rocket scientist to see this team sucks. Best we can get out of this, is maybe Newsy gets fired and maybe just maybe, get the first overall pick but real talk, we aint getting rid of SY for another 5 years

  10. The Wings need to begin a rebuild on the rebuild !! Yzerman has made so many bad signings it's very very sad.. We may have some good young prospects and that's where it ends.. Chariot, Holl, Pietry, Gustafisson,, Copp,, Comppher, Terrasenko.and PAYING the Sharks to take Wallman !! I mean I could go on and on,,That's a lot of poorly spent $$$.. And hiring the coach wasn't the best decision either.. Time to get rid of the old over paid goats for what ever draft picks you can get,,and tank !! 2026 has the next Bedard came changer coming up the draft and this year you have a couple of good bets on some young guns,,, I would give Yzerman 2 years at most to show me the real direction of the team is taking,,and by the way J Montgomery is now available,,good coach with young players,,food for thought…

  11. You cant turn around a team unless you get some 1st line forward talent eventually and we do not have it. Cant win a cup with the 30th best C as our 1C. We dont even have a top 50 player.

    Great G and good D prospects mean nothing when we cant score

  12. We didnt get a top 5 pick Yzermans entire run. You rarely get a franchise forward outside these spots. We dont even have a top 50 player. Was spoiled by the wings for half my life, now i dont even care or watch

  13. Stevie won't fire Lalonde. He knows the roster he's assembled sucks. He can always use the coaching was bad as an excuse down the road.

    You should also mention that somehow he's managed to hand out contracts so this pile of slop team is up against the salary cap.

  14. We no longer have an owner who cares. We certainly miss Mike Ilitch that is for sure. Lalonde should probably be let go after that road trip. In his defense though, I'm still not convinced any replacement coach can do a whole lot better with the lack of talent. Yzerman deserves to be on the hot seat if they miss the playoffs this year. The Red Wings are constantly outshot and dominated every game. The only reason why they have a few wins this season is because our goalies have stolen a few games.
