I like that you stood up for yourself. I can tell you guys are getting tired of being screwed over by the refs. I know you guys can't talk about it, but we see it.
Edvinsson and Seider will be your top defensemen pairing for the next 10+ years starting next season. Both are studs and I think they will complement each other well. Edvinsson has high offensive upside that will show once he gets more comfortable on NHL ice. Those Victor Hedman comparisons are real.
Hate him or love him, you have to give Lalonde he has a very analytic approach to the game. Personally, i don't think we'd be better off any other coach in the league. The locker room is behind him, and especially when the squad is healthy we have shown real improvement compared to the previous seasons.
He still has the room? Why'd the boys quit those 7 games then? Seems to me Larkin has the room, not Lalonde. What kinda message does it send to the boys when Czarnik and Petry make mistake after mistake with no punishments , yet Spronger and Johnny Burgers get punished to no end.
Great to see Veleno show some edge and go after Byram after that hit, especially with no call given. Edvinsson looks like he's been playing in the league for years and whilst there is still plenty for him to learn, the way he was deployed on special teams and with Seider shows the future is bright.
If the refs refuse to protect the wings it’s up to ourselves. A game misconduct boarding was right infront of the ref and not even a thought to call anything.
There's been a few times I've doubted Uncle Fester here. And I actually think he's had a hand in help improving the team. But the 1st time he bugged the hell out me is when he kept saying he "thought" they "played well after The Canes game"...He kept mentioning it, even in consecutive interviews after...Then suddenly, 2 weeks later, he says "obviously" they "didn't play well in Carolina"...😐 They played like shit in Carolina and The Yotes walked all over us...Get your shit together or Stevie is sendin you packin. These last few wins are likely saving yr job buddy... But hey, no pressure...
Been watching the Wings virtually since a few weeks after the season began, and I don't see Veleno staying on this roster much longer since he really hasn't been much of a factor. Veleno is a big guy, but doesn't seem to be a factor either on offense or defense, and as many on the squad decided to not play during the month of March, I'm hoping Stevie Y will make the right decision by not keeping Veleno next season. Veleno is a better speaker than he is a player. The Wings need players not speakers or politicians.
I dont know if Newsy is going to last 5 more hockey games, or 5 games plus a few playoff games..... or his whole contract which has only 1 year left...... but i will NOT miss when he says "this group.... this group....this group". Previous coaches always say "WE" "WE" "WE".
