Larkin is a third line center on a cup contender
Lalonde is incredibly dumb and awful and he signals his dumb awful intentions very obviously here as he did in the postgame. He hates Kane and wants to move DeBrincat back to Raymond and bury Kane again ASAP. He once again singles out that line of Kane's to trash it for 'trading chances'. Meanwhile it the past 2 games has been the best offensive line the team has had all season and has sparked the entire team. He says nonsense praising the team for 'not giving up easy offense' all year, apparently oblivious to the fact that the team has been AWFUL all year – meaning at what cost have they not given up easy offense? He lies and says Kane had looked good and "had plenty of chances" before the DeBrincat/Copp line happened – no he didn't. He looked so terrible and uninterested and lost there were news stories where he was discussing it openly and saying he had to change his game. But Lalonde has to lie bc he wants to bury him again immediately and ruin the team again, so he has to pretend that it wouldn't be burying him or ruining the team. Then finally when someone suggests that Kane scoring energizes the team – which all numbers say it does – he dismisses Kane's scoring being special, and says anyone scoring energizes the team. Which is interesting, bc Raymond was scoring a ton of goals and the team was not energized at all. He is shamelessly lying.
This is the worst coach in NHL history. He should not have a job in the NHL. He is going to ruin the lineup and bury Kane again. Every single thing he says is him trying to justify it before the fact, bc he knows it's unjustifiable and will destroy the team all over again. He is an albatross.
LGRW. Doom and gloomers can go be a fan of different team.
Sounds a bit like Lalonde points the blame on Yzerman and the lack of material he has.
No Seider over the Christmas break
all Lalonde has to do is leave that 2nd line intact the rest of the season and let them play how they want, and his team's chances of making the playoffs go up by like 1000%. and he won't be able to do it. why not? what is his problem? if his job isn't to make the playoffs and try to win games, what exactly IS his job? and maybe they should tell us what his real job and role is, and what the point actually is. obviously Lalonde has other things he cares about more, to judge by his comments in this and after the last game. so. he should let us the paying customers know what those things are that are more important than winning.
is it more important that the players play his preferred style than that they win games? is it more important that Lucas Raymond be the star of the team than that the team wins games?
if the answers to those questions are yes, that would be a good thing for the fans to know before paying any more money to watch this team.
Let's beat the brakes off of the Habs. Fan from Canada 🇨🇦 LGRW.
Just give Ed an early Christmas vacation. Let him rest up, no point in rushing him.
How do you keep your game in order when you don't have a game Mr. Lalonde?
L incoming
We're talking about Johansson like he should already be as good as Edvinsson, Lalonde is holding him to an awfully high standard
