@HeleneStJames Funny, they all know the answer yet results continue. It’s time leadership in the locker room is sent packing and team is handed over to Seider/Raymond. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure stating Debrincat and Kane, and Larkin’s blame everyone else leadership has to go.

@GrindLinePod @PuckPedia And they can spend every dime on D, bottom 6 and goaltenders, but if that Top six still can’t score 5 on 5, nothing changes.

@aseparatemind It’s crazy how many fans want to blame bottom 6 players rather than players who get all the 5 on 5 and PP ice time, but can’t score 5 on 5. The bottom 6 isn’t the problem and it’s the easiest to change. Little will change though, if your Top 6 still can’t produce 5 on 5

If your name is crossed off, you’re welcome back next season. If it’s not, thanks for the memories even though they weren’t so great.

@HockeytownRD If he’s smart he targets a couple of young centers in trades for Debrincat and Larkin Debrincat to SEA for Shane Wright and their 1st, and Larkin to ANA for MacTavish, McQueen and Luneau, or to MTL in a deal for Hage and Zharovsky That’s the trade types they can make for 71/93

@OctopusThrower_ When your 1C can’t score OR control the puck 5 on 5 in the offensive zone, and your 2C is really a 3C, you won’t win very often in NHL, unless you hv a goalie run or fluke season. Their underlying #s were bad even in DEC. Larkin is by far the most disappointing player this yr.

@GreatLakeMagyar @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards He scored 69 goals in NHL. Not 1 scout/coach/GM who would take Larkin over him Larkin is 1C on only a handful of teams, and some of those are arguable. DET would need a 2C equivalent to 71, to win w him as the 1C. He can’t score, nor control the o-zone 5 on 5. AM can.

@WingRaider @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards 53 points in 60 vs 67 in 74, and the leafs are just a wagon this year and have no issues at all! I agree they’re drastically diff players, I’d take Larkin everyday of the year. This is where you go wrong, Matthew’s has played with great wingers the whole time, has Larkin? No.

@GreatLakeMagyar @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards This is the 2nd big problem for some DET fans and the majority of the media. They get so defensive if anyone says anything remotely negative about Larkin. Why is that? I contend it’s cause they know there’s truth to it. I like Larkin. Far from a hater. Facts don’t lie though

@WingRaider @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards I’m not pretending he’s generational, but to hate on him like this ignores everything around him, No checking line, you can’t play the second line in high risk dzone deployments, you rely on him for everything, Outside of 3 centers, name one who would do more with that

@TechnoVikingGA @RedWingDiehards He’s still been a PPG player, playing with one shoulder this year, and one of only he and Kane, who can actually control the puck in the offensive zone. . Lucas Raymond is the least of their problems at forward.

@NHLRumourReport @Colton_Hill DET would be stupid to try and build on this veteran FWD group by using prospects. What’s it netting? An 8th seed next yr? Oh boy These vets, especially Larkin, can’t score 5on5. You don’t build teams around that. You’ll get a whole lot of avg for a few yrs, then another rebuild

David Pagnotta: Re Red Wings: It sounds like this is gonna be an offseason to pounce by utilizing a number of their young assets...package some of those pieces up...similar to what Montreal did last offseason - DFO Rundown (4/15)

@GreatLakeMagyar @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards Once again, where too many DET fans go so wrong. This isn’t an Yzerman level player but some want to pretend Larkin is. He’s not 1C on 2/3rds of teams. That would be calling him a Top 10-12 C?? He’s just not guys. He’s a really great 2C, mediocre 1C. Look at his 5/5 #s. Horrific

@SCcoachRich @WingRaider @RedWingDiehards “Heartbeat of the team” “cornerstone” “crucial to the teams leadership” Yeah sounds like he’s just the “motivator” You can just say you’re a causal fan, it’s good and cool, as he would be 1C and captain in 2/3 of the league,

@GreatLakeMagyar @SCcoachRich @RedWingDiehards This is where some DET fans go so wrong. Even comparing 71 to Matthews really is dishonest. They’re not even in the same zip code as offensive players. Man scored 69 goals in the NHL. Larkin barely gets that in total points. If swapped, good bet Detroit would’ve made the playoffs

@SCcoachRich @WingRaider @RedWingDiehards I don’t know how you could watch him on team USA through the Olympics and world championship and say he’s not a leader, yet alone all the guys saying he’s a huge part of their leadership group, You’d cry for Larkin back if Matthew’s was our captain

@theredbrigade @RedWingDiehards Theres other volatile vets. There’s a reason 57 has played on 9 diff teams, or however many, and I like what he brings. But his personality fits well under some, but has a history of fallouts. 8 was almost traded b4 Todd because he refused to accept he’d no longer carry a pairing

@WingRaider @RedWingDiehards That's a pretty funny analogy of Kane & Cat Who else wears an A? Tonight Seider had the worst gm of the season -4 on low minutes.

@HockeySnobElite @Tj_Ronin The DET hockey media is beyond ESPN level. That’s obviously NOT a compliment. They decided the rebuild was over but the team still hasn’t. They’ve also looked at a draft rebuild like it was the NFL/NBA ignoring development time w prospects. A great draft is 3 NHLers. Do the math

@Tj_Ronin The rebuild players are on their way out.. and the prospects are all ready to step in.. No rebuild needed. We just did that for 7 years.. Haven't even seen it take shape yet.

The Detroit Red Wings really are a disappointment. When the season is over they still dont even play the prospects. We have 37 year old David Perron wasting everyone's time. Justin Faulk trade was complete garbage, plus lost our 1st rd pick. If they dont have a strong offseason, I smell another rebuild coming. Which sucks for everyone smfh #LGRW

@HeleneStJames @lukefoxjukebox Whoever asked the “making progress” question needs to lose their hockey card. Do you folks ever look at the underlying numbers? They said in DEC the winning was a fluke. If DET don’t take a big step backwards this summer to compete in 3yrs, it’ll be lots of avg hockey for 6-8yrs

@crissy_froyd @Th3DarthRaider You gotta love women never choosing solidarity (or even logical support) with other women, but instead reinforcing all the cliches used against women in a professional environment. The Caitlyn Clark thing taught us a lot. This just another example.

@DailyFaceoff @Colton_Hill You guys sound ridiculous. Many just don’t know how empty the cupboards were in Detroit. They’ve literally built from scratch. Worse than an expansion team in 7 yrs with no draft help. Only 1 Top 5 pick. No busts. It takes time though when you had no pieces to help rebuild

@HockeySnobElite @RyanHanaWWP There’s way too many in media/podcasters pushing this narrative DET is only a 1-2 pieces away fr REALLY competing . The underlying #s say much different. They need to take that big step backwards for 1-2yrs so they can compete in 3yrs. If they don’t, lots of AVG hockey for 6-8yrs

@RyanHanaWWP Kanes effectiveness is limited to turning the game into a skills competition. Which is NOT playoff hockey. Players like him are the reason we are so easy to play against. You'll get more chances playing good D, and being hard on the puck in the corners and creating that way.

@RyanHanaWWP This false narrative DET is close and only needs 1-2 pieces allowing them to compete consistently needs to stop. Look at almost all underlying #s. It’s time to pay the piper for winning too much during the rebuild, and take a step backwards for 1-2yrs or it’ll be a long 6-7yrs
