That's interesting... it's a move that won't salvage this season but might prevent players from regressing or stunting the growth of young guys. Also we need a coach to tell Rasmussen to play like a man or sit in the press box.

Can we catapult Husso into the sun already. I'd rather they call up Campbell.

I don’t wanna hear any more s*** about dudes like Quinn Hughes or Adam Fox or whatever. Those dudes are all well and good but you cannot tell me that they can win battles and control the puck like Seider did (against the leagues best).

I watched the Lions tonight instead of the Wings, imagine if they get Hutchinson back deep in playoffs on top of it. Gibbs/Monty combo have been just a blast to watch. Looks like Husso played well tonight at least, yet another game where our goalie holds the opposing team to 2 goals and still can't get them the W. Offense sucks s*** 5 on 5 this year, something needs to change. I thought Kane/Tarasenko would be more difference makers for goal scoring at least. Tired of losing, if you haven't hopped on the Lions train yet, do so. They are very fun to watch this season.

Larkin is a 2C on a good team. Every other center on this team is a 3C at best on a good team. Every bottom six winger on this team is fourth line at best on a good team. Chiarot is a bottom pairing guy on a good team. Petry and Holl aren't playing on a good team. Talbot is the backup on a good team.

If Doug Armstrong is asking for one of Cossa or Augustine for Jordan Binnington, Than he can keep him.

Say his full name three times and he shall appear

...and it has begun! Now trade Tarasenko and let's use the cap space to make us better!

As of right now the Detroit Red Wings are in a playoff position. Unreal.

Whats not to love about Todd McLellan? I love everything about this coach. Straight forward no bulls*** approach to players and media. Puts in work and demands max effort every shift every game. Trusts and plays the young players and rewards good play. Not even mentioning his systems - less dump and chase more puck possession hockey. McLellan is a great coach and a perfect fit for where this team is at. Look at the difference in play from the most important players on this team. Larks, Ray, Seider have been leading the team all season but theyve all taken it to a whole other level since Todd came in. Kasper and Jo look like completely different players under Todd. Hes done well with Berg and Soda. I look forward to see what he can do with Danielson, Maz, MBN, ASP, ect.

We wake up this morning two points out of the Wild Card, three points out of the final divisional seed, and three VERY beatable divisional rivals just ahead of us in the standings. The postseason is still very attainable. What an unbelievable turnaround we've seen. There's no doubt in my mind that the team we just watched spank LA last night (with a third line of Motte-Veleno-Shine?!?!?) can go better than .500 against Ottawa, Montreal, Boston, and Tampa for the remainder of the season. If we can be the best (or even 2nd best) team in that group we should make the playoffs...assuming we keep it up. It's a good day to be a Red Wings fan.

My chest swells when I gain the attention of a new M'lady and this happens: M'lady: What's your snapchat? "I dont have one" Insta? "Nah" Facebook? "Nope" ML: ... Omg are you one of those weirdos that has no social media??? "Nah... I'm on letsgowings"

We are playing a ton faster.

Naturally SY grabbed the only guy with a connection to the Wings. This thing he has about only hiring guys hes worked with b4 leaves us somewhat limited. However Todd has a lot of coaching under his belt. SY basically 180ed from rookie to well seasoned. He's also shown to be good at coaching rebuild teams. Just cant get it done in the playoffs. Bigger story is Boughner and his terrible PK are gone. However, Todd plays boring trap defense, so dont expect games to get more exciting... I personally did not expect a firing so soon... now that it happened im starting to wonder if SYs seat is hotter than anyone expects. We are in year 6 and the team looks like its in another year of the mediocrity cycle. A lot of his moves the past 2 years have been head scratchingly dumb... Walman, Fabbri, Gustafsson, Tarasenko, Kostin, bad coaches, goalie carousel, not buying, not selling. He probably has a longer leash than anyone, but if this was anyone not named SY, this move would stink like desperation to save ones job...

Seider for sure had some jump last night. The whole team looked like they were comfortable and playing loose and not “gripping their sticks too tight”. I’m sure Lalonde hated it. Like Babcock before him, he’d rather lose a game 2-1 than win a game 6-5.

Everytime the forum goes down, I send him a facebook message, then all of a sudden (coincidence maybe) it's back up and running. This last time, it was down all weekend (or more) and today I sent the message, and it was back up shortly thereafter. I will continue that as long as it seems to be working. Hopefully he will promote a couple more of us and we can help take care of this place.

This team is so uninspired it's sad... they need to change the coach ASAP. That's the only thing that can easily be done. Then serious changes need to be made to the roster.

I was at Sunday’s Griffins game. Here are my thoughts. Wallinder is blah and Buium was better every time he touched the puck. Buium’s skating looked like an asset to me. Danielson needs to shoot more. That’s it. Once he learns to be “the man” he’s going to be a stud. Lombardi is the best offensive player on the team and is dangerous every time he has the puck. He looks taller too. But he needs to hit the weights or he’ll never make it in the NHL.

Very underrated player. Gets ignored by the media because Seattle is a small market and he isnt a superstar that can carry the Kraken. But he's quietly very good. Get.

Yeah, I don’t really see any downside with Todd. I realize that he’s never won a Cup, but I actually kinda prefer that. Right before we hired him I was talking to a buddy about the Wings and said I wanted a coach that was still hungry to win…just like I want players that are hungry to win and not just riding out the ends of their careers. Todd still has something to prove and I like that. Edit: Plus we now play faster and more exciting hockey. I remember one of the dumb dumbs around here said Todd played “boring trap” hockey. Couldn’t be further from the truth…thank god. It’s fun to see the boys score goals finally.

My only beef is Rasmountain doesn't play to his size, but then again he isn't alone considering this been a concern with the entire team since Blashill and then Lalonde were coaching...Everyone looks better since McLellan took over...Tonight against the Jets will be a good test.

Yzerman either needs to fire Lalonde or leave the GM position. The complacency isn't getting the team anywhere.

It's strange how Yzerman is slowly getting the ol' Kenny Holland "ah well - maybe next year" attitude. Absolute silence since we've become noticeably worse since last year.

Do we let these guys toil away in the bottom 6 or ditch them for players that are faster, bigger, tougher, stronger? I like homegrown talent, but these guys are bordering on just being homegrown as of now. Rasmussen Veleno Berggren Rasmussen only shows up once every 10 games. He let Panarin skate right by him and score last game, and that's not an isolated incident. Not sure why everyone has a hard on for this guy. He's average at best defensively and DOESN'T SCORE. I'm ok with our bottom six guys scoring 15-20 points a year so long as they're monsters on defense. Veleno has already topped out at 4th line center. I have zero issues with him playing 4th line center at a million a year for us for 20 more years. He's not a liability, and he hustles. But damn. This cat was Sidney Crosby at 15 years old. Berggren needs to decide if he wants to be an NHL player or go back to Sweden. He's WEAK. Not weak in like he has no talent. Weak in that he's a big hairy p u s s y. Why do our players never go from boys to men? They always seem to go from boys to boys with less zits. I've said it before, but GOD ALREAY - hire a weight training coach that knows how to turn boys into men. WTF is with this stupid shet in our organization? Every camp, they're always talking about nutrition and eating right. FACK all that. How about talking about getting these jackasses completely ripped out of their minds. I'd rather see Berggren suck as a 215 wrecking ball then watch him suck as a pimply 180 lb loser. Our strength and development program is a total failure. So what do we do with these players that once showed top 6 promise and are now teetering on getting let go or traded?

Ras might be the weakest 6'6 guy in the league. Soda Pop is the same except he has softer mitts. Veleno is perfect for the 4th line for a mil per I agree. BearGrin is trying....lol Yeah, if you can use them with picks to upgrade, do it.
