00:01best it's distorted yeah i don't really want to hear it neither do i i don't want to see it
00:06either
00:0797 one jim costa john jansen heather park gov and greg behind the glass 702 we're planning on
00:12getting into the rag now stuff everybody's sounding off on how it looks for the lions
00:16to ask for that bonus money back i'm at my wits end with this hockey team you and everyone else
00:24it's another game and another no show and they don't even get up for their coach at this point
00:29like the cattle prod doesn't have any more zip or zap to it i mean he comes out and openly
00:34says
00:34these guys don't compete we got to extract competitiveness spits in their face and what
00:39do they do they're down three nothing immediately three times as many goals three times as many
00:44shots that's a gutless group and it was confirmed last night if you're gonna have any pride at all
00:50you have to show up and start hockey games better than they do there is no pride and john it's
00:56it's
00:56gotten me to this point take hockey town off of center ice this group doesn't deserve it this
01:03group hasn't earned it it's insulting to the tradition that put hockey town on the ice until
01:08this team's a playoff team hockey town should not be back at center ice get it off immediately this
01:15team doesn't deserve it all you want to see is some fight out of this team when it matters
01:24and you got a head-to-head against boston you lose you got a head-to-head against ottawa philly
01:29pittsburgh like even even some of the gifts that they've been given in terms of playing against florida
01:35twice that is actively not trying to win yeah florida will lose two in a row florida wants to keep
01:41their
01:41pick ottawa doesn't have any a defenseman with a pulse ottawa's on a back-to-back pittsburgh's on
01:45a back-to-back the flyers like it it has been handed to them but if i'm mcclellan i i
01:53can lead
01:53a horse to water but i can't make you care i can't make you drink i can't make you try
01:58hard i can't
01:58force you to get to the dirty areas to get pucks on net to fight for positioning to defend our
02:04own
02:04f increase i i can't do it for you you guys collectively are a bunch of pathetic losers i don't
02:09know what else to say if that's how you're going to play when you're challenged by your coach when
02:13you have everything on the line when the other team has dead legs i don't want to hear about the
02:17out-of-town scoreboard today they have to win hockey games they have to want it this is an insult
02:23to
02:24federoff lidstrom eiserman shanahan chelios how del vecchio go through the whole effing list of
02:31red wing greats this is an insult i'm not saying you got to win every game you play can you
02:36be in some
02:37of these games can you clock in for work when the pucks dropped
02:43and it's it's it's not like they're ot losses like they're scrapping it's you're down three
02:49nothing i go oh man before you even blink it sucks you know hey i got the other team got
02:54a dribbler
02:55puck luck in the third period and that that would be hard to accept that those are really tough losses
03:02there's not hard to accept this it's clear as day you're watching you're listening you're aware of
03:08it i i actually thought they were gonna win last night i thought hey maybe mcclellan would would
03:13kick him in gear and it wouldn't be enough to make the playoffs but for a night we don't even
03:17get it for
03:18a night at this point john and i don't even know what anyone expects when when tom mcclellan is is
03:25you
03:26post-game presser like what do you expect him to say anymore like he has he's been calling out the
03:33team and and it's not like it's just calling him out he's praised him as well go back to the
03:38interview
03:38we had with him before the olympic break and we asked him about the trade deadline he says yeah i
03:41think we've done enough to add steve eiserman ads and then everything that they have had since then
03:48has just been absolutely zero fight against the teams that you can actually improve your
03:55understanding i want to shout it from the mountaintop this team added a goalie this team
04:02added a tougher coach this team added a blue liner at the deadline oh come on guys what more has
04:11to
04:11happen you know i'm saying like and i'm not excusing eiserman but i'm just pointing out like if you're a
04:16guy in this group and i call him gutless i give you a blue liner i give you a head
04:20coach who's going
04:21to demand more i give you a goalie who stands on his head all year but john guess what
04:25gibson's played 12 straight games yeah they're burning this guy out well and and we said he's
04:30probably gonna have to play every game from that moment and he's played back-to-backs they probably
04:34play him back-to-back this upcoming weekend but i'm not even blaming him like no when when you're
04:40giving up stuff in front of the net when you're giving up high danger chances when you're asking
04:44to be a superhero every single night
04:49look it's inflammatory to say remove hockey town but i i absolutely mean it that that does not
04:54belong on the ice it was brought back because of a fan vote because fans really wanted it you want
04:59to keep 100 years it's factually 100 years but the words hockey town have to mean something in this city
05:04the words hockey town don't just get plastered on center ice because of feelings you have to play like
05:11those teams that consistently made the playoffs 25 straight years and made deep runs that weren't
05:17token appearances they won stanley cups this team is nowhere near those teams and i don't want to see
05:23that anywhere near center ice 248-539-9797 i know everybody's worked up from last night we will get to
05:31all of
05:32you you probably you know what i was going to say you more than most but no i don't think
05:38so i think it is
05:40it's the frustration of all red wings fans and i don't know if ty mcclellan has been asked in the
05:47last couple of days but does he have a different feeling about the month of march now that he has
05:54actually witnessed it and i know he witnessed it last year but it was you know hey he'd only been
05:58on
05:59the job for for two months like he didn't have a hand in developing that team and helping put it
06:04together
06:04and training camp and all that now this year he's had training he's had two of them because of the
06:09olympic break he had they had that extra time leading up to the month of march to put together
06:15a run that wasn't going to remove them from playoff standings i want to be fair to todd he is
06:22a hockey
06:23coach first a pr person second correct he is trying to tell that group as the month is getting
06:30underway we don't pay any attention to some historical mumbo jumbo voodoo bs that is his first and
06:38foremost goal as a hockey coach is to not get caught up in narratives but the media is going
06:44to ask you about it and they're going to ask you about it next year too it's not going away
06:50and he
06:51can't deny it at this point but i would tell you it happened under the loan remember we're like well
06:56the loan's too soft-spoken and golly gee and maybe we won't even be here next year so they hire
07:01a more
07:02hard-ass coach and the group doesn't respond to him either you know i'm saying like if you if it
07:07doesn't matter who the messenger is it doesn't matter if you add a goalie it doesn't matter if
07:11you buy at the trade deadline dylan larkin it doesn't matter because even if your gm gives you
07:15a little bit of a boost you guys aren't interested in taking a step like you said what does mcclellan
07:20even say after the hockey game i thought there's not a lot of hellfire and brimstone but i think he
07:24put it well greg can we play a little bit of mcclellan for people give him just a taste of
07:28what
07:28the head coach had to say afterwards
07:52blunt he's right there are teams that are elevating there are teams that were five six
07:57points behind the wings even through the the middle of march and now they're right there with
08:02them or have surpassed them how about this text and i'm sifting through because tom has brought in
08:08pages and i see if you're on hold we'll get to you you can't call yourself hockey town when the
08:13renters in your building have more playoff success no notes absolute cinema
08:22keep talking hockey next we'll get some rag now stuff at seven it's 97 one
08:25keep talking about it
08:26keep talking about it
