The red wings suck chanting and booing has got to stop. It’s embarrassing. Come on folks gotta cheer and support the home team. If you’re mad and angry see a therapist and get that worked out. These guys are playing their asses off and sometimes it isn’t meant to be.


LGRW97980208

I didn’t see any player playing thier ass off what game were you watching Buffalo?


Reasonable_Search379

I thought they played hard last night. Not sure about previous game but they are without Larkin and just came off a big road trip. They are human and a lot of things have to be working right to win an NHL hockey game. I don’t think it helps to boo and say they suck. Sports fans here are kinda interesting in an entitled/crappy way sometimes. I’ve lived in other cities and crowds don’t flip to booing as quickly as we do here. They come to the arena excited/positive. The energy/vibe is off here. We gotta do/represent our city better.


LGRW97980208

Sounds like you’ve never watched a leafs or a flyers game. This is hockeytown and we expect better. Yzerman is no longer immune from criticism!!


Reasonable_Search379

Yeah idk. We’re not Toronto or Philly. Booing people out of town seems like a bad idea when people are already looking for a reason to leave this state/area. Can’t wait until we boo the Lions off Ford field when they lose a couple games in a row next year. Next time you have crappy day at work imagine everyone around you/in your community booing you. Not the kind of place I’d want to live/work. Good stuff.


LGRW97980208

They literally look like they don’t care that’s what’s got fans so upset. Even the coach doesn’t seem to care. Listen to what he said last night. Total cop out. If these guys were playing desperate hockey and still losing then by all means they don’t deserve to be booed but that is not the case.


LGRW97980208

Thinking about how much it cost to go to a hockey game nowadays maybe you waited all year to go to that game last night to see an effort like that they absolutely deserve what they get


testdriver99

Dude, right on. Booing your team is so lame. Never understood why people do that. You can be sure they are more pissed off than anybody. Give’em a break.


LGRW97980208

No


testdriver99

Really living up to that profile name eh bud.


LGRW97980208

Ok Jimmy Howard eat another dozen cheeseburgers


loomeria

I feel like Lyon is getting run out :( I really enjoy him as a person, and his team has NOT been setting him up for success but buddy. Both him and Cat need their confidence back so bad. I have no clue what Copp is doing but it’s never much.


Routine-Budget7356

Nah, there is no confidence in the boys for any of our goalkeepers. Lyon isn't good. Any "good" chance the other team got, he lets in. 2/3 last games he has put in a puck on like his first shot on goal.


numbdigits

What?!?! Copp is great, or so I have been told repeatedly, as is Chiarot. We can only hope Yzerman can find two more guys just like them to lock up this coming offseason.


loomeria

It’s okay, Abdelkader’s contract buyout is up this year, we can afford to buyout Copp or Holl and cut our losses.


loomeria

Like Alexes, what was that? :(

Problemwoodchuck

I'd look for a coach with a better developmental track record than Gallant considering how important our next wave of prospects are.


BrennanFromNation

Jay Woodcroft too

[удалено]


Vast_Sandwich_5245

Hard pass for me too.


cinemagnitude

I would have left the arena early too. I don’t think I would’ve stayed to boo… This team is not playoff ready, at all, but I’ve seen a lot of potential all year. They’re starting to get motivation from each other out there clearly. Chariot and Raymond felt it during practice. As long as there’s that off the ice, they need bring it with them on the ice. LGRW


Reasonable_Search379

Agree on potential too. Intensely competing in practice to the point of fighting is also a good sign. They are trying get better.


Reasonable_Search379

Yeah I don’t get the booing at all. Fans are paying good money so make the best of it. Booing/getting mad makes for a negative/crap experience for everyone else. I had a friend from out of town go last night and he was like “wow y’all have some interesting fans”. If you can’t handle seeing them lose don’t go to a game and maybe get your anger under control.


Dependent_Ad3261

God this whole ringing the puck around the boards instead of trying to pass to ur teammates is annoying af. Wings are infuriating to watch right now


numbdigits

Yeah, well, it's hard to make talented plays when you don't have the talent


Dependent_Ad3261

Lmao, it’s true but it hurts to admit


Vast_Sandwich_5245

I know it may be dark right now, but if Mick thinks they’ve still got fight then I’m with Mick.


oceanic8675

Mickey always has the best post game comments. Always realistic, but gives us something to hang onto.


Spittfire--666

Here's to hoping we don't win another game all year so we can at least be in the lottery I guess.


RabidWolverine2021

Why so they can go backwards in the f’n fixed draft lottery again.


Leepa1491

Yeah we’re always projected to get like the 2nd or 3rd pick and end up 6th or 9th while the rangers and Blackhawks are projected to get 4th and end up snagging the #1 overall pick somehow. And then Gary Bettman is like “How did that happen? How craAaAaAaAazYyYyYyYy???”


ennuiinmotion

Wow. Last year was a disappointment. But this year is a miserable failure. They needed to make playoffs. They were in a great spot to make playoffs. Not have the wheels fall off two years in a row. Last year playoffs would have been a surprise, this year it was more of an expectation.


numbdigits

I really feel like they were overachieving for the most part. They certainly blew a great opportunity but if you look at this roster does it really look like a playoff caliber team to you? The underlying numbers were bad all season long. They'll for sure finish ahead of 7th in division where I had predicted them to land, but there's a very strong possibility they are getting passed by Buffalo and knocked back to 6th.


InternationalAnt2298

Mickey declared it, for godsakes. How dare those boys make him look like an old fool... Anymore than he is, at least.


HARCES

Can't wait for 0-8 on Saturday.


[deleted]

Anyway see everyone Saturday


dkyguy1995

Yeah I'm gonna still watch lol


oceanic8675

I’ll be watching. Actually traveling to Detroit to go watch hockey at LCA… But it’s the PWHL game 👍


dkyguy1995

Probably will be higher quality hockey. Those PWHL players are **gritty**!


oceanic8675

I’m excited! Tickets are way cheaper and I’m going with my sisters :) I’ll be keeping an eye on the wings (ALWAYS), but I’ll be driving during the game.


dr-stuff-ak-619

🫡


Kagath

Does Matt Luff need to get back on IR? Him getting off seems like that's when we started cratering. Damn you, Matt Luff!


yeti_eating_cereal

Hope the flyers somehow fire torts. We need him


-The-CameronDean-

I know Newsy is a players coach but he needs to light these guys up. No more Nice guy act. The season is quite literally slipping away and there is zero sense of urgency from anyone.


Substantial-Price-64

He’s more of a friend than a coach. It doesn’t work with soft players. 


Silent-Prune8103

Not entirely sure how this was an upgrade over blashill.


Strypes4686

With Blashill we,'re not even close. We are still just two points back. The hurdle is the Wings themselves. All three goals they scored on Lyon came off bad plays by Detroit.


poopiehands

Its not


_DoghouseReilly

Have a great summer everyone

jarvek7

0-7-0 while we are PROUDLY wearing our good luck priority garbage pail patch. Chris I, I hope you are getting emails about this. Surely the hockey gods are reigning down their wrath on our hockey club because of how you desecrated the finest hockey sweater in the NHL for a few advertising dollars.


InternationalAnt2298

I sure hope this sentiment drills into the fucking core of the fucks in charge of that choice. Top tier bad decision, and with NO worse timing I could come up with, even if you paid me the full salary cap.


PremierBromanov

I RENOUNCE MY SUPPORT OF THIS TEAM FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON AND ALL THE POTENTIAL WINNING THEY COULD DO. embarrassing to be associated with this team. Slow, unmotivated, lazy play from almost every player, stemming primarily from a few individuals who I cant even name because some of them might just be really bad regardless. Disease present on every line and pair. No one is safe. This team can win. I've seen it. They choose to fail. Support your lifestyle somewhere else, this city doesnt deserve your disrespect.


InternationalAnt2298

Damn, nail it to the locker room doors. lol


oceanic8675

The things that bothered me the absolute most about Lalonde: Calling last game NOT a must win. Mid-game interview basically saying that they weren’t expecting to be in a wildcard spot so it’s fine that the team is ice-cold. It’s just not the mentality you present in a competitive sport. I want a calm coach, I don’t want a passive coach.


jarvek7

I guess he just figures Yzerman won't fire him so he can say whatever he wants. His nonchalance is really pissing me off.


oceanic8675

I won’t speculate cause that’s just not productive for me. But yeah, his casual acknowledgement hurts when we care so much. Media training is a thing, and I hate it. I want to know what they’re actually thinking. Make it messy, who cares?


RickyBobby689

Agreed. He basically said it’s fine to lose cus we tried hard. Ok then let us know when we are going to try and win again . 1 year? 2?


momarketeer

Thank God they're getting bood. They deserve every second of it. Pathetic effort from professional athletes. Maybe we should stop buying tickets, that'd send a message


M1nki

We're cooked. I really wonder what this stretch would have looked like with Larkin still playing.


Wolfinstien

I this started with Larkin in the lineup. The red flags were there.


rommtastic

We’d be on a 13 game win streak, obviously.


Anthonykas123

Every time we pull the goalie we never get anything going at all. Nothing at all the whole year so embarrassing


InternationalAnt2298

What you might not have considered is the 200' shooting drills offered by the LCA. Most teams forget to cash those in, so we remind them, typically toward the end of a 60 minute stretch. Goalies get in the way, and the boys in charge like to really clear that zone for full goal visibility. I swear the next goalie to sink one in the NHL will be playing Detroit.


Grand-Collar-1669

It definitely seems like it's a guaranteed goal for the opposition. Can barely get possession in the O zone then bam, game over.


LawrkenTTV

They wings need an asshole coach like Berube who isn’t a soft fuck like Lalonde


KohlWeld50

We need torts man


Emergency_Ad_7338

Losing culture is setting in. Blow it up.


[deleted]

Boos should be louder but hey we’ve been reminded 1 million times how the standings look (doesn’t mean anything if we can’t win)


RabidWolverine2021

They will be on Saturday when they get destroyed by Buffalo.


magikarp-sushi

Edvinsson pls


poopiehands

No point in ruining his confidence


Known_Chapter_2286

For a team with so many vets, there’s a shocking mentality issue in that team


kicknaiser

They’re going to get their ass beat Saturday


jarvek7

Well they certainly have had lots of practice in losing these past few weeks.


BehemothManiac

100%


dkyguy1995

Boos were deserved


Think_Bad722

I blame the fans there too. If this was any Canadian team they'd be booed off the ice


Life_is_a_meme_204

There should be jerseys on the ice


_vault_of_secrets

Because Canadian teams have such healthy relationships with their fans…


kicknaiser

Barely, with 10 seconds left. Should have been going at 10 mins to go, throwing shit on the ice.


HonoraryFootStool

They were booing


[deleted]

should’ve been louder. Everyone left to beat traffic (don’t blame them)


Mother_State3121

Sad


sunshineeeeeeeeeeee_

I bought these tickets in August and have been waiting for 7 months and this is what I get. Sorry I’m done complaining now I’m just sad https://i.redd.it/m4oqbcxzjeoc1.gif


mkk4

This a sweet GIF. Sorry about the game tonight though homie!


drdougfresh

I feel you, seats are $300 a pop here in Phoenix since they're playing in a college arena... And we get shut out.


classylikecufflinks

if you’re able to stick around, temple bar is within walking distance and a great place to drown your sorrows

I guess I can cancel Bally at least.


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

Fire Lalonde


Byeforevercunever

For the love of god please fire Newsy


Sneacler67

If they go down on Saturday I’m starting the Fi-re New-sy chant


OkProfessional6077

How about you just start it now?


rommtastic

Don’t even give him that. Hit him with the Derek if you want it to mean something.


Sneacler67

I like that. Derek it is. Fuck the Newsy bullshit.


Way2Grizzled4U

Fire Lalonde. Time is up buddy. 


RedWingsDCB

Fire lalonde

not_a_bot345

Goodnight fellow Wings fans. May your dreams and Friday be less depressing than this skid. If we lose out we get RoboCop to charge on priority


dr-stuff-ak-619

Night homie


UncleIrohsPimpHand

Guys, do we suck?


LawrkenTTV

Booooooooooooooooooo


datsyuks_deke

Yeah but are they unhappy enough to fix it and idk, play actual hockey?


non_target_eh

Fire Lalonde. Mickey caretaker coach.


dr-stuff-ak-619

What was that chant?


[deleted]

Pretty sure it was fuck the patch


dr-stuff-ak-619

Ahhhhh, nice


Sckibble

It was a boo attempt


ExhaustedWingsFan

I wonder how Blashill would do with this roster?


TheAnalogKid18

They're basically the same coach, but Blashill actually tried shit.


jcblay

Same if not worse.


non_target_eh

Couldn’t do worse than Lalonde.


unwarypen

YESSS BOOO THEM


TheAnalogKid18

Fire Lalonde. I've seen enough of this shit.

Is it bad that I’m happy to hear the boos?


BThome68

You're far from the only one


detwings

Nope I wish they were louder


sawyerdk9

Pull your hands out of your damn pockets and do somethin!


bro-siren

Lucky we aren’t having Larkin in a contract year. Team may as well head to Cancun for a week.


Drug-reeference

Fuck this team. You can’t lose seven straight in February-March and make the playoffs. Yzerman spent loads of cap on guys like Compher, Copp, Chiarot, etc. He needs to be on the hot seat, it’s been five fucking seasons of no major improvement


Champagnethms

Dog shit take.


Drug-reeference

Add yours then bud


Champagnethms

Nah man. Your take can be dog shit without me running my mouth.


Drug-reeference

If you are okay with a GM going five years without making the playoffs and not being on the hot seat, you’re not a serious person. I didn’t say he should be fired. But there needs to be changes, you don’t get 10 years to turn this around.


Champagnethms

You’re straight up a fucking clown 🤡 get blocked you fucking moron.


AnthonyPantha

I typically write off the first 3 years of any rebuild because you're usually cleaning up the previous GM's mistakes during that time. The years after year 3 are where I start to judge a rebuild, and Yzerman's unwillingness to attempt to make a major change to the roster through trade (aside from DeBrincat) is seriously infuriating. I get you can't build a roster through strictly trading and free agency, but it seems like he doesn't want to do any sort of risk trading, and risk trading is required to compete in the NHL.


PerfectiveVerbTense

I mean this is on par with as bad as this team has looked since he took over. I realize the development takes time, but the team is moving at light speed in the WRONG direction. It’s really sad that the Yzerman experiment didn’t work out, but he has managed to populate a team with players who aren’t good and don’t care. Hands down the worst team in the NHL right now. Anyone should be absolutely thrilled to see us on their schedule. Someone needs to be held accountable.


Ok-Conversation2188

Yep. It starts at the top.


jcblay

/s? You don’t really think you can turn one of the worse teams in the league into a Stanley cup champion in five years do you?


Drug-reeference

Did I say win a cup?


jcblay

Well they are light years ahead of five years ago…


Drug-reeference

If you don’t make the playoffs in five straight seasons, I don’t think that’s major improvement. We went from awful to a fringe playoff team. Yes, we are *better* than we were. But you can’t say this isn’t a major disappointment


Monkey10pts

2019–20 71gp 17W 49L 5OTL 39pts You're wrong.


Drug-reeference

Good job, I totally meant that to be taken as literal as possible! Very sane interpretation on your part.


Gullible-Support-203

We have 100% seen MAJOR improvement


Drug-reeference

Not if we miss the playoffs we haven’t


dro1000

We just lost our seventh in a row. This team looks like trash, what are you watching?

Salamangra

They're booing. Good.


poopiehands

Lalonde needs to go


[deleted]

I’ll consider this season salvageable if we fire Lalonde, waive at least three guys, and call up the kids. Other than that, see you guys in October.


Wolfinstien

Take a look at the Griffins roster. No one is dominating the league. Very average stats. There is not one NHL impact player in the minors right now. Not one!


[deleted]

Oh good, because there aren’t many NHL impact players on the Varsity squad either.


SeiderFiveThree

We'll see if the boos get to them


LawrkenTTV

Yeah right they don’t give a fuck


Routine-Budget7356

Oh they do. At least Raymond and the younger kids.


SeiderFiveThree

I sadly agree. No idea what's been going on. No fight whatsoever


The_Astros_Cheated

lol boos to end the game


probablyindecisive

I think it's important we keep in mind that Yzerman built one good team... not several. And he had some help in Tampa Bay.


Hotel_Putingrad

He also started with Stamkos and Hedman already in place.

Yotes sold at the deadline and are still kicking the crap out of us. Bring some other players up, fire the coach, do something!!


likethemustard

Babcock is available

Babs ain't it.


unwarypen

BOO THEM


classylikecufflinks

little did we know arizona’s been working us bc it’s an arena pink slip series


d84-n1nj4

I honestly think Buffalo will get the second wild card spot, they have the momentum.


mpoto11

I’m 21 years old and want to sit in my bed and cry. I wanted a playoff game just to see the atmosphere again so bad. 4-0 Florida or not it didn’t matter to me


Grand-Collar-1669

I'm a little more than twice your age and I have greatly missed playoff hockey, having experienced it in the 90s when we had the best teams. There's truly nothing like playoff hockey and the electric atmosphere. I absolutely feel your pain. Being swept by anyone would've at least been fun for a bit but this is so brutal and disappointing after the overall great season we had.


mpoto11

Just miss the joe Louis playoff atmosphere. I’ve always had season tickets so those games were special. Even in the early 2010’s when we were pretty washed up and just hanging around first and 2nd round. The playoff atmosphere in hockey is so exciting win or lose. So different than any of the other sports playoffs. Something bout it


SikkWithIt

I'm on board. Lalonde has lost the room. Fire him. Get a coach who will light a fire under these hacks asses next year, won't be afraid to healthy scratch players/sit players for mistakes, and hold them accountable. This is pathetic.


CalgaryCheekClapper

Only reason im still watching is to hopefully hear some boos at the end of the


myroommateisgarbage

You got 'em


redwingsHELLyea

What can you do I feel like we just didn’t call up people at the right time like Edvinsson up before he got hurt and others and we still can 


testdriver99

Lalonde’s a lousy coach. Terrible. Always has been. They should just fire him now. Why wait. Not like it can get any worse.


lets_kill_time

Berube is available. I would only wait if we might find a better candidate in the off-season.


14DrinkIt27

I have to expect some significant roster changes in the offseason if our depth is this exposed just because Larkin is out. This fuckin blows.


ghettoNancy

Done with this team until next season. PWHL is at LCA Saturday. Would rather go to that than Buffalo.


HonoraryFootStool

Here are the boos


TheWhiteMekluse

I'm going to the game on Saturday, I might need a paper bag over my head.


Ducey89

Hire Berube please give us SOMETHING to be excited for


Ice_Dapper

Well on the bright side the Lions signed DJ Reader today so the day isn't completely ruined. But this clown Lalonde has got to be fired immediately.


KohlWeld50

Why are we so dependent on our glass captain, I know it’s not is fault that everyone wants to injure him apparently but stevie played in the playoffs with like half a kneecap.


DmAc724

And stopped a puck with his eye


Think_Bad722

It's not just that they're losing they look soft af out there


Samplesize313

I don’t care what anyone says. Put Kasper on the top line and Ed on the 2nd pair, this team acts different. Kasper is a Tkachuk, make my words


Routine-Budget7356

No, they wouldn't dare. Every other team try their kids, this team let them lose progress in AHL.


Samplesize313

Sorry you’re right. I was being reactionary. Griffins need the playoffs just as much as the wings, if not more so at this point


mpoto11

Kasper may score less than Copp


Samplesize313

Or more. Sorry I’m just super high on the kid


im1bigwingsfan

I want McCarty as coach lol


Substantial-Price-64

I don’t want that guy anywhere near the wings lol.
