Steven H

The ass kicking SVG put on the field yesterday should be what we are talking about. I don’t know if he’s the best road racer in NASCAR history but he’s the best in this era. Stop with the … “Will he make the playoff / chase” bullshit. This narrative deters the star status he deserves.

@Mc_Driver @jeff_gluck Finally a driver that speaks common sense to dumbass fans

Oh my gosh, so many geniuses in the replies. You all knew what was going to happen and you're not surprised or impressed. I'm shocked more of you are not crew chiefs. You had it the whole way!

A wheelman at work. Ride with @shanevg97 to see everything it takes to make a fast lap around @WGI.

@LarkinAbout71 @RedWingDiehards That’s exactly what I took from that. Why wouldn’t you try and address those problems sooner?

@RedWingDiehards If he saw red flags far earlier than trade deadline why did he not address it sooner than st trade deadline this is the evidence as to why it’s taking so long sits around waiting instead of acting

Here are my thoughts on the Yzerman/McLellan press conference: - Honestly, didn’t hate a lot of what I heard from Steve and Todd but I am going to be honest I am past the point of whispering to me what I want to hear. Go do it f**kface. (Respectfully) - Yzerman was asked about major shakeups (players, front office, etc) and if he thought that was necessary and he basically said maybe/maybe not. Let me clear it up for you, it’s maybe. It’s actually not maybe. It’s yes. If you don’t do much of anything you’re unserious. - Someone asked directly about getting a better 2C and the longest pause ever occurred and I laughed 😂 Yzerman admitted the center position as a whole needs to be better. Wow, no way, really? Which one of the three blind mice told you that? - Yzerman confirmed he spoke with Ilitch a couple days ago (and apparently does so with regularity) and that the family is extremely disappointed. They remain supportive of what Steve is doing. Yzerman also talked about “seeing this through” a couple times and that’s code for he’s not going anywhere. If you were hoping he gets canned, it’s not happening. - Owned that they “need better players” and he admitted this isn’t “going to plan” and also that “failure is a good teacher” which are all the correct things to say. Failure can cause honest reckoning which is long overdue. - One thought connection I made and really don’t like. Yzerman was asked about being so high in the standings and his playoff odds confidence. He then spoke on red flags he saw along the way to essentially pump the brakes on the high hopes. This was well before trade deadline. If you really felt this way, why pay such a high price for Faulk? Again, another example for me of things feeling reactive rather than having a concrete and organized plan. I have a little sympathy, it was truly a lose-lose scenario for him to trade or not trade. We all wanted trade. He did. Didn’t work. Shit. Learn and win a trade(s) this summer! - Todd isn’t goin anywhere and Steve confirmed no coaching staff changes foreseen. I think that’s the right call and I think a lot would agree with me here. - Admitted the way they do things top to bottom need reflection and re-evaluation, that was good to hear but again, don’t talk about it be about it!! My stance on the organization remains unchanged. I heard some good things today, and a couple annoying things. The hockey ops team needs to get stronger ideally soon. Then a good summer with at least one trade for either 1LW or 1/2C need to take place. Multiple players sent to parts unknown. Come back pissed and take this thing to the next level. Like I’ve said lots, there’s a good core and a good head coach. Core needs one more piece to pop, and the supporting cast needs to be stronger. Hockey staff stronger. Good summer. Come back rejuvenated and get after it with a different and more confident identity for 2026-2027 in Detroit. #LGRW

@BradGalli I appreciate his candidness, but if there were concerns why didn’t he address them Sooner and why trade away an unprotected first??

Steve Yzerman admitted he isn’t shocked the Red Wings fell from where they were in the standings. “We had concerns,” he said at his season-ending press conference. He and Kris Draper saw flaws even through the winning. "We were in third overall or something, and we're like, let's be realistic," Yzerman recalled on Thursday. "I don't think we're as good as our record at the time, but we are winning games, and we are where we are, and at the deadline we were where we were, and for the most part we were playing at .600 hockey, a little over .600, and at the end we were under .400."

Again, 10 seconds after hockey ends, ESPN is immediately covering the NFL. Get hockey off of this garbage network. If you’re going to have hockey, be all in. Full pre and post game shows like TNT.

@WingedWheelPod Just cementing their place as the laughing stock of the league.

And just like that, the Detroit Red Wings conclude the 2025/2026 season in the most fitting way imaginable. Describe your feelings about the season, GIFs only. ⤵️ #LGRW

Todd Mcllelan on the boos during the salute "This is hockeytown, they're not even clamoring for a cup...they just want a group to give them something to cheer for. We earned that reaction..."

@DetroitRedWings @ComericaBank

@m_bultman Easy to blame Kane and it is inexcusable. But you can’t wait until the third period to show a pulse. There’s no excuse to not be playing like that every minute of every game. This IS the playoffs and it has been for a couple weeks.

This team is embarrassing and fully deserves to miss the playoffs.

@shikkaz @NHLFlyers The wings won’t do jack shite

@NHLFlyers Konecny needs to watch his back now for running the goalie

🚨 GOAL! 🚨 Tocc uses his coach's challenge and it's a good goal for TK! Porter Martone has his first NHL point with an assist. It's a 3-2 game at 10:29. #DETvsPHI | #LetsGoFlyers

There's a culture problem with Detroit Dudes do not wanna give a full effort here I don't know why But it pisses me off

@JCSportsDetroit Lottery luck is such a lame excuse. The first 3 drafts Detroit arguably got the best/near best players (seider, ray, ed) after that Yzerman didn’t give this team enough chances at winning the lottery, only finishing bottom 5 twice (again probably got best talent anyways)

The quickness of a rebuild in the NHL solely relies on Lottery Luck, The NHL system is terrible imo

I think the Red Wings having a 10 year playoff drought is bad

@WingedWheelPod Can’t beat a team behind them in the standings, on a back to back, with multiple key injuries. How am I to expect them to make the playoffs if they can’t win these critical games. Pathetic

Detroit loses 3-2 in regulation to a depleted Senators team. Is that all she wrote for the Red Wings? ⤵️ #LGRW

@HockeytownEvan Guess teams can rally when they have key injuries, who woulda thought. Detroits the new laughing stock of the league now that buffalo is a wagon.

Red Wings lose in regulation against Ottawa on a back-to-back missing their two top defensemen. Ottawa also moves ahead of Detroit in the Atlantic.

@OhNyquist If Detroit doesn’t win, I don’t want to hear any more wings fans complain about Detroits injuries.

Absolutely zero excuse for the Red Wings not to handle business tonight. Second half of a back to back for Ottawa, Chabot and Sanderson out, need these two points!
