Does any team give the puck away more than Detroit does?

It’s the same thing every game!

You’re taught in tyke hockey to never pass the puck in front of your net yet the Red Wings do this repeatedly!

Losey is like the guy watching the TV show “Jeopardy” in front of his tv and gets all the answers right.

His kid’s marvel at his superior intellect and say “Hey Dad! You should go on the show!”

So then Losey goes on the show and finishes last.

He says he liked his process but he let 5 questions get away from him and he was chasing Alex Trebek’s ghost the the rest of the night.

Let’s face it.

Losey Lalonde is Jeff Blashill minus the goofy facial expressions and Mike Babcock impersonation.

Perron scored the game winner last game

Perron has to be the team leader in offensive and neutral zone penalties, with Rasmussen probably 2nd. I still thought they played a decent game, worked hard, and had a winnable game. They seem to be working themselves out of their funk, and could potentially play some good hockey in this last stretch, especially if DeBrincat (who seems way over due) can break through. For how well he played earlier in the season, I doubt anyone had him penciled in for only 24 goals at this point.

It’s beginning to annoy me that Lalonde keeps finding different ways to express the same mistakes happening game after game. He’s not coaching the mistakes out of this team, so if Yzerman does want to eliminate the process victory mindset I have a feeling he’s going to need a new coach because with Lalonde, process victories are all we seem to get. I wouldn’t mind so much if he was scrubbing the mistakes out but game after game all I hear is “we gave them easy offense”.

No excuses or process victories. If there’s is one thing Yzerman needs to accomplish this offseason, it’s eliminating this mindset.

It’s not just him though, czarnick was supposed to be in the team because of his defensive responsibility and twice I have seen him turn pucks over for us to get scored on….one of them a blind pass to a NY Ranger….responsibility?…wtf. Him and Perron both cost us big on an important night. If we take even 1 point against the Rangers we’re in the wildcard spot so those guys really let us down. I’m still pretty angry about it but of course, Perron is coach’s pet so he at least will not be paying for his many transgressions.

Totally agree, and Petry has given the same bad and costly penalties for much of the season. Bringing in veterans is great in the locker room, but by end of regular season, their decision making is challenged on the ice. I was hoping and expecting more from DeBrincat, he’s had a lot of blown chances this past month.

Opposite of what is needed from a good vet. Think some of it is he is just worn down and does not have enough in the tank to keep focused. Another reason to not sign him to any length or any large cap hit.

Steve has his work cut out for him. I think some Yutes need to play on the big club next season. We’ll see.
