id never expect to see the wings start winning every game from here on on out cause as coach said we have a lot of work to do. But I love every time we get this dude in a press conference, he really seems to want to get close to the players and make this a family that wants to play the best they can for the guy next to them. So excited for the future of this team. LGRW!!!
Yes, making the playoffs this year isn’t a realistic goal. They’d need to play at about a 104 point clip for the rest of the season. That said, this can be a great move forward toward next season. Some contracts are coming off the books at the end of this season, and in the meantime, Yzerman’s going to be looking to move players at the deadline along with that rumoured trade that could be in the works with Buffalo. With a couple more call-ups from Grand Rapids (Mazur? Danielson?) it could be a really interesting new look for 2025-26.
@kindrin4773 you're not even a wings fan. You hate the wings, and you've openly admitted this before. There's no point in other actual Wings fans taking anything you say seriously.
Our Wings seem to be more supportive of teammates on the ice, better passing (not as much overpassing) with purpose/control. Also a bit more physical but again, with purpose. Power plays seem to be more sure…tight passing with less emphasis on the perfect shot, instead just getting the puck on net as fast as possible. Defense rotating better and still willing to take a shot to keep the puck off the goalie. Overall more confident and deliberate. Hopefully they can keep the momentum going in the right direction. Let’s Go Red Wings! ❤
Thank goodness. Tanking is so depressing. They have enough elite players in Seider, Raymond and Edvinsson to build a contender around. Despite their respective draft positions, it's difficult to argue that those three aren't among the top 3 players in their respective draft classes. Plus, they have at least a couple more pretty exciting prospects on the way.
Didnt make sense even tho we had our struggles last year and all but in the end we just missed the playoffs so made sense keeping him over the summer i think he shoulda been fired after the toronto 4-2 win even tho they won they lost their last 5 or 6 before that plus it woulda gave him 3 days a couple practices days and the first 3 games woulda been Philly and back to back vs Montreal nothing against them but compared to leafs caps and pens first 3 games to figure it out with woulda been a bit easier but we have todd now and we are playing well only 6 points outta the wildcard now so maybe if we stay hot and the other teams slow down we can get back into it who knows
@ajmanks then it's a question if we want to go on a big win streak, lol. I'd be more than ok with a high draft pick. Either way is probably good with me, but I was getting excited at the idea of a high pick.
there was no need to fire a coach who had improved the game and almost qualified for playoffs... just didn't end that way! but no one expected the Wings to regress this much until after the first few games
He's absolutely correct about "when you penalty kill you learn about offense". When you have a better understanding in general about how defense is played you can use that to your advantage when playing on offense. And additionally if you get good enough at reading the play you can even turn some defensive plays into offense both on the penalty kill and 5 on 5. It's harder to get possession when you're killing a penalty, but when you do opportunities exist that might not exist 5 on 5 because typically speaking teams play a little looser defensively when they're up a man because they expect to have possession. The more you know about every position the better decisions you can make.
Don't plan on making the playoffs this year everyone, but what this coaching change dose is give Todd a good head start and get his staff put together for next year. The move had to be done. I like his additude, I think this guy can really change the 15 year culture of the wings , and get us back were we need to be and thats finishing at the top...GO WING!!!!! MORE EFFORT PLEASE
Wow what a change this man has made I always thought it was just a silly gimmick how everybody hated lalonde but am starting to see that everybody was prob right
Realize this, Yzerman still needs to build through the draft. Todd is still devoid of talent from years of neglected draft picks. Compared to other teams we're still a ways out from being a bona fide playoff contender.
Man this yeah players are changing and its better bullshit needs to stop...the players got a new coach and want to look good...like the old saying a new broom sweeps well only so long...give it a month
You're not even a Wings fan, you've openly admitted you hate the Wings before. Why should any real fan take anything you're saying seriously? You show up and spread hate online every single time they're doing well. Hmm 😂 caught ya.
@Chris-s6y5e well they're currently doing them everyday only because it's a new coach. But yes they did them after every game, and after lots of practice and morning skates. You're just noticing more now because it's something new and shiny
I really like this guy. He takes all the responsibility and demands from his players. Seems like a great leader.
Kings fan, Todd is an amazing coach and a treat to listen to talk. His openness and honesty goes through the whole team.
A coach who is flexible enough to maximize the talent. Love it!
Awesome start Coach ! We can already see the changes and the positive impact youve made to the team. We believe in you!
Thank god you're in Detroit, Todd
The Todd Father 🐙😤
So refreshing to listen to. No more “analytically we should have won.”

This year who knows how far we can go at least play hard and get better but next season should be real interesting

Absofreakinglutely ❣️
@michelleleeginger5225 eh ladies too! 😍
How?...3 games in you call it a real coach...every new employee looks good 3 days in..the new broom doesn't sweep well a month in

Todd is good coachhard nose what they needed
Notice not one time did he mention some arbitrary statistic. He talks about hockey and gets straight to the point.. We have a coach now boys..
Love watching red wings again for the past two games🙏🏻🎆🎇 But I also hope they can get Söderblom another go at red wings this season. LGRW🐙🙏🏻
He's finally getting MEAN in GR, can't wait to see him finally back up and using his size this time
I been excited for Elmers size and potential ever since we drafted him, I really hope he utilizes his size because he has mega potential.
I find it really endearing that he admitted his lack of communication with Dan. True leadership.
Just too bad Mr. Yzerman didnt fire fester at the end of last year! Starting the year with Todd would have been great.

Agree, no playoffs this year, hopefully next year
That's TBD never say never.
Based on the repeated statements from Todd about "playing free" it's clear that Newsy neutered this team into not taking any chances.
Wow what a change this man has made I always thought it was just a silly gimmick how everybody hated lalonde but am starting to see that everybody was prob right
In Todd we trust.
I really wish we had Lalonde back
Said nobody who matters.
Just remeber he got The oilers from 36 points and next season 100 points. So hes perfect with rebuild teams
Need to trade the bums making five million that don't produce
4:00 leader. Wow

Is this new? I don't remember Fester doing these kinds of Press Conferences.
Yes this is normal
@@pneumans I can't remember Fester doing many of these. Maybe Yzerman encouraged him to avoid the media, because he was such a PATHETIC "coach."
