I counted 93 "Y'know"'s in this interview. That is hilariously ironic. Not sure how many times he said "umm" sometimes he says it with "Y'know" but sometimes he doesn't and sometimes he said "umm" on its own. Cat makes me laugh. Listening to him is just like listening to Draper back in the day 😂
Alex played better with a line with Larkin and Raymond rather than with Kane imo. I think it’s for the best to part ways with Kane and hopefully Raymond takes another step and can maybe elevate his game plus Debrincat’s and Larkin’s.
Imagine a normal conversation with his wife, how frustrated she gets here. Cat you crack me up, hilarious interview and the only thing missing is a can of beer and a cup victory. 🤣🥰🤩😘😇
This hurts to say, but Im really starting to think Kane should leave Detroit at this point. I cannot wait for next year, but hear me out. In my opinion Alex seemingly did better at the start of the season before Kane came in, This was probably because he was consistently trying to set up Kane.... I mean He would never say that because Kane is his buddy obviously. Lets not forget he got dropped to second line with less ice time to support kane as well. I feel like Alex has been sacrificing scoring opportunities to make plays to Kane, and it was not as successful compared to prior years with Kane. The two were well established on the same line, however The rest of the pieces are not the same, which still matter in the chemistry of any team. Both still worked really well together, regardless of the injury kane really only has a year or two left before he retires, or is hurt even worse. -Alex sounds like he is excited to play for Red wings again which is terrific, however Kane seems to be acting like it was really the last time. -if the above is true then kane isnt worried about playing with Debrincat again, which tells me the chemistry is not nearly as there. -Alex has a potential to become the top player if he is thinking for himself, and scoring for himself and working with Larkin specifically. -Alex has had inconsistency however it definitely seemed Larkin related. -Alex had much less TOI when he got put on second line compared to most years. He had a higher scoring and point percentage in less time on ice overall, which is less than most of his seasons with the NHL, even Ottawa had his TOI higher. He is improving regardless as you can see it in his stats, the numbers spell out improvements. Now, This is totally a theory but I think Alex Debrincat has a lot more potential to be had, and we could be seeing him break out next year or maybe the year after, possibly competing with top NHL talent. That is if kane decides to step away from detroit as imo its holding Debrincat back. Before I get hate, remember my opinion does not matter and this is just to start conversation lmao. aaaaand......Berts UFA this season? ~Imo drop Kane. Pick up a few people for his potential cap space. Add defence that makes up for Kane missing + Bert or someone equivalent. This might just be me Re-Imagining Bertuzzi, Larking and Debrincat on one line. (pipe dreams lol) Too bad Vrana Failed. I wonder where he is now 🤔
Ummm I liked watching him play this season but ya know Im not gonna lie disappointing season from an expectation stand point. He did have some bad puck luck and hit a lot of posts but ummm he's paid to score 30 ya know and he needs to do just that. Next year has to be a 30G 70Point season(which ummm IMO is about his limit).
