GDT: Game 39: Red Wings at kings 10:30 pm et 1/4/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[JediOrderPizza]

In this 15 game stretch including the sharks meltdown loss. I just haven't seen anything that shows me they are gonna snap out of this, some wins. But mostly sloppy wins in there.

Before every new game I hope we are gonna finally get that change. But they keep saying the same things but yeah same ol' stuff.

I was wondering when the Lalonde Hating troll would show up? lol

Lalonde isn't a good coach. It's not a super controversial point that he's definitely in the bottom 5 coaches in the NHL.

What's that?

 

[Frk It]

okay it’s time for 2-3 guys on the backend to pack their bags and I don’t know what else it will take.

Walman-Seider
Edvinsson-Chiarot
Johansson-Whoever

Let’s get weird, who cares

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

How many complete defensive breakdowns is enough yzerman. Change something this is a joke. Somehow Ed isn’t good enough defensively… look at what’s out there now.

If he's still of the mindset of "well we're still collecting assets and not ready for the playoffs", then he needs a kick in the pants from ownership. It's not acceptable in a serious hockey market to be in Year 5 of a rebuild and still be outside of the playoffs.

Wings haven't really had any full practices since the beginning of December. Some people are panicking worse than the Wings D corps

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

There seems to be no structure to how the Wings play. Everything is dump and (no) chase or stand around and watch Larkin/Kane gain entry. It's maddening.

Beer leaguer of the night for #6. Just find a guy with a stick and a buzz and slot him in. Can't be that much worse.

Practice - really?

These aren't 11 year olds.

 

[datsyukfan]

Larkin has been atrocious defensively

How many have our opponents had?


I would assume dozens to help explain the differences..right

Not sure how to tell you this, but it is at practices most of the coaching happens.

They have had to battle through multiple injuries without full practices,

 

[Gniwder]

I don't know that I'd consider the player wide open. I think Veleno was there.... it's just that no one on this team seems to play the man anymore. Veleno was trying to play the puck instead of drilling the player or driving him out of the crease.

The whole team is soft. 10 ply. Bottom of the league in hits. They all want to play Cholo hockey now. Don't want to get cooties by touching someone.

 

[Shaman464]

Larkin has been atrocious defensively

Larkin was always overrated by people for his defensive abilities, but his set point usually is "not a liability" and there have been stretches, usually in the last 20 games of seasons, where he's been terrible defensively.

I remember being blown away by Vegas when they came into the league. They challenged every puck and were just so tenacious. The Wings are the opposite of that. Weak, timid, poke and hope, looking lost,

 

[kook10]

Will we see 50 shots against?

Yup.

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

The number of easy passes put behind players or in their skates is unacceptable for a professional team.

Also, the defense core is atrocious.

Where's Allen Iverson when you need him?

Even Seider has looked soft this season. No fight in this team.

They play a brand of hockey that makes it hard for fans to root for. No grit lately, constant defensive breakdowns, and a tendency to give up the puck for free anytime any pressure is applied. Honestly think Sprong may be our best forward last 10-15 games overall which says something.
