Lalonde is such a puzzle just by seeing the fanbase talk about him. From where I stand he deserves to stick around after all we've made huge progress in the rebuild ever since he came along.
We've needed a better defense for the past seven years. It's also not the typical case that dmen just jump on the nhl level/roster out of the gate… Yzerman has always been stating 7-9 years before you get to a contention stage where it will be consistent to feed an organization. I'm happy we aren't last year or the year before. Will it suck if we creep on the cusp and not make the playoffs? YEAH! Is it the time for firing the system? No, that's like 3-4 years out from today (if it doesn't work).
Today as an every man I battled through traffic, but not before I had to fight through breakfast and just digging in to get my kid to school on time. I'm just going to stick with it, one shift at a time and try to get through a full 60 minutes (8 hours).
Regarding DeBrincat, I think when he’s trying to shoot from the left circle, he’s too close, screwing up his shooting angle. He needs to stand from where Ovechkin and Stamkos shoot. Their angles are less acutely. Interesting Lalonde’s comments about practice and no practice. Then we wonder why the Wings can’t play in the first period with energy.
everyone needs to calm down and stop looking for quick overnight success … they are building another dynasty. everyone except the fairweather wings fans knew they were a fringe playoff team. i think the real expectations should start next season

get a microphone in the room for the reporters too please.
This guy (Lalonde) makes me want a soup sandwich. I feel like taking a nap after his interview.
The Wings must play 60 minute playoff hockey now and through the next 13 games. They cannot play 20 and 40 minute games.
We need this win streak to happen NOW ! no excuses. Need a hot start and no lettin off the pressure. Keep them skates moving!!!

Man, to be an athlete. Everything is a battle.

I’m not a a Lalonde hater, but does it bother anyone else how he doesn’t let the reporters finish their questions before blurting out an answer?
Please hockey gods let out captain start!
Fire him already. He dont care and cant motivate the team.
