They at least earned that

I know we are disappointed as fans, but this is the exact kick in the pants this team needs/needed. They probably thought they were giving their 100% to make the playoffs. And they just learned their (what they think is) 100% isnt enough. Its a bitter lesson, but one that has to be learned by every team. You can't coast for the last 20 games of the season and I then expect to make it on miracle goals in the few seconds of the last 2 games. Now it's on Derek to channel that dissapointment into desire to correct those mistakes and overcome. And on Yzerman to augment personal to make us even better next year. Kudos to Derek and Stephen and Larkin on the exciting season most of us didn't see coming. You don't go from bottom feeder to cup champ in one season. I trust them to build from here. LGRW!

He constructed a roster that was one injury away from blowing the entire season AND THEN didn't do anything to address any deficiencies at the trade deadline. I'd say a big part of this is on him. Poor Dylan Larkin. Literally did everything he needed to do to make the playoffs and the team lost it for him when he was out.

This draft has an Eiserman, a Howe, and a Lindstrom

This is the most exciting hockey we've seen in 10 years. I was fully bought in this season and we played like it all year long for the most part. It sucks SO bad to see them blow it like this. There were absolutely points this season where I thought we were amongst the 5-10 best teams in the league and then we completely deflated in the last third of the season. God damn it.

Props to caps. Beat us, the took care of biz against tough teams. Eye glass me please. Youre on the blind fan list.

I like Artamonov, Jiricek, or Eiserman for our pick. Eiserman and Artamanov are both left wingers who can score and play 200ft, and both have a physical edge. Arty is already scoring in the KHL at a pace that only Panarin, Tarasenko, and Michkov have matched at his age. But he actually plays D too. If he's there at Wings pick I don't think you can pass. Jiricek has future top pairing RHD etched into his forehead. Breaks up 2on1rushes all by himself with ease. And literally tells his forwards where to go and what to do on breakouts. Future backend leader of men.

Cayden Lindstrom would be my ideal scenario draft pick but I think he's off the board by the time we draft. Kid is absolutely everything we need. Big, strong, fast, skilled, mean center. Yes please.

Married daisy the cow I believe

We will get there! 3 legit superstars in Larks, MO, Ray, and more young ones on the way. Detroit wasn't built in a day, and the future is bright.

50/50 Part of me thinks Yzerman had playoff hopes when signing Kane - at that time all was going well. Part of me thinks Yzerman didn't want to cash in some future assets/picks/etc at the deadline for a shot at the playoffs. The rebuild continues...I'm hoping there are changes behind the bench.

Has we went 2-5 vs 0-7 wouldn't have needed help

Yzerman is the least of this teams' woes.....Unless of course we hold him accountable for hiring Lalonde.

I can't believe we were 8 points up on the 2nd wildcard and wasted this season. Unreal. Steve Yzerman should be drawn and quartered for doing diddly squat at the deadline.

So did the Bruins last night.

Derek is a good coach. We are battling for a playoff spot bc of what he's done with this team.

Not a fan of how things went down last night. The Fix: play in games. MLB has it. NBA has it. Time for the NHL to have it.

I really hope so, cuz he clearly has nothing left to learn or prove in the SHL from a development standpoint. He needs to be learning the small-ice game ASAP and I need the closure of knowing whether his game translates to the NA killbox. I'm fairly certain it does, because he's just that good - but I've been wrong before. To be clear, I think he's got legit superstar potential and he's looking like a home-run pick by Not Kris Draper. But I've lost my patience with this rebuild and I'm all-in on cutthroat acceleration now.

ELC will be signed this offseason

Nah, cannot support Roy

Chiarot/Petry. Wrecked a playoff season. Never seen a team with really good potential not figure out a problem so obvious.

We cooked GREAT EFFORT

How about Keating giving Ozzie a little dig. Not cool.

Yah, its ok for Edvinsson, Johansson, Tuomisto, Wallinder, and ASP to make physical mistakes they learn and get better from. Right now, we are just watching shetty defensemen make a lot of mistakes. Chiarot just let his man stand there while he did a ridiculous pirouette. Big surprise. Without a defensemen between him and the net and a wide open net and tons of time, he scored. That's not a mistake. That's SUCKING. Thats not understanding the basic principle of defense - stay between your net and the defender. Chiarot is SO F V CKING BAD. I cant believe we had to pay 4.75 million for him. He's a NEGATIVE to the team. It's a joke.

Keep forgetting he is only 21 right?
