[@b-retrogamer2324]

Does anyone else skip Brian’s ads?

[@JustinHendersonVvvV]

The wife got KZbin premium for music I enjoy it for ad free so in video ads make me fast forward 1 min at a time. Time stamp ffs🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@edenisburning]

Actually, no I don't. I have KZbin Premium.. which I recommend everyone gets because it's amazing.. so I am not really annoyed by sponsored ads.

[@simonsmith5506]

Does this mean canada amazon prime will have access to this as well ?

[@paulwt9783]

the Red Wings last year were 8th in the league in 5v5 goals. this year they are 31st (they are also 31st in total goals despite being top 10 in the power play; impressive accomplishment). the swapping out of personnel (Fabbri, Sprong, Perron, Ghost, Walman) for other personnel (Tarasenko, Berggren, Motte, Gustafsson, Edvinsson/Johansson) does not really account for that absurd a drop. Players and lines that were scoring a lot at 5v5 last year suddenly do not score at all. Derek Lalonde should be fired immediately.

[@francoismichaud7061]

I remember they were scoring a lot, while allowing 3-4 goals on average almost every night, until Larkin got knocked out cold mid December. We lost him and Perron for almost a month as a result and the team collapsed offensively. They then switched to a defensive-first mentality on the new year and it only really worked in the month of February where they had a "very" good stretch. Then the rest of the year was kinda sad: they failed to adjust or reinvent their game ... I was in Montreal for the last game of the year and it was heartbreaking. But even in that game, they should not have been in a situation where they have to come back to win in overtime. Sprong, Ghost, Walman were scapegoats most of the night. What bugs me is the fact Petry is always reinserted in the lineup (over young defenseman), Copp is on the second line (don't start me on his contract) and Rasmussen plays like he is 5 feet tall. Need better system and more grit to that team. Plain and simple, none of those lines make sense. I really love Berg and Kasp, but it is not working. We are playing 2 rookies together and it is ruining their confidence. Split them!!! Play them with good players and remove Copp from that 2nd or lineup. Please!

[@jennifermorris9985]

They were just as low for xGF last year. They just had a crazy high, unsunstainable SH%.

[@JackConrad-e4v]

Lalonde is def the problem. Copp shouldn’t be on the second line. That’s stupid. Put tarasenko there. Hell put valeno there. Copp is a good defensive forward. He is no second line winger tho. Keep Johansson in the lineup. Holl in the ahl. Petry keep on the 3rd line. Stupid coach.

[@JackConrad-e4v]

Considering fabbri isn’t scoring. Perron is hurt and wasn’t scoring and Sprong already got traded to Seattle. It wasn’t too much of a loss. Also Walman got benched for a game for defensive lapses. That all being said ghost has been doing well on Carolina

[@wlnlax14]

​@JackConrad-e4v walman wanst benched for that it was a team policy thing for missing a meeting or somthing along those lines. Walman was a cap casualty we would have rather not lost. The rest were expendable

[@andyq524]

We haven't had "What do you think about it?" Friday in awhile. 😅

[@edenisburning]

Are the games still going to be available on ESPN+???

[@MistaTofMaine]

Pretty sure, if not give me a darn good reason to get rid of that. Is lame though have to always check see where game actually be shown.

[@edenisburning]

@MistaTofMaine Yeah. I'm watching games on MAX, ESPN+, and now Prime? I like ESPN+ because I get to watch the local broadcast. I don't live in Michigan anymore, so that's an awesome feature. Gotta have Mickey, Ken, and Co.

[@Blackswamper]

I'm just sick of games on TNT. Liam MCHugh ...so sad. Biz is a total chump. Purnell got-dam Subban...and dumb old Anson Carter...please...PLEASE. Give me Mickey and the boys all day! Long live John Keating!

[@JustinHendersonVvvV]

Yea John be cringy but I also have a soft spot for him. Ozzie and John have great chemistry.

[@edenisburning]

I can't handle Biz. It's just an endless cringe-fest.

[@edenisburning]

Id like the Wings to take a flier on Zegras if the price is right. Yzerman and Verbeek are close. Lets get it done. We could use some top 6 high end skill.

[@doozey365]

That is insane what was reported about the deal with Amazon Prime. No details on a subscription yet, but u will need a prime membership for sure. But u can buy individual games for $6.99 oer game, plus an Amazon Prime membership. Who in their right mind would pay $7 for a game??? I dropped Amazon prime 6 months ago when they wanted more money to have an ad free experience. Im sure in the hell am not going to pay a membership and $7 for a game. Not sure paying $15 or $20 a month just for WIngs game is worth it. I was hopeful they would make it reasonable. Guess im gonna continue stream ripping sports, sigh.

[@doozey365]

Also, when i was paying for cable, KZbinTv, or Dish, you could stomach to pay $80-100 dollars, because u had your sports, HBO, local networks, Lions, Discovery, etc. The change to streaming is just another way to milk more money out of ya in different ways. To me, $20+ is insane. Once HBO went streaming, and FSD, local networks that had Lions started negotiating with your cable provider and u couldnt get it, i was done with all these providers. I no longer have any morals with stream ripping everything. These greedy bastards dont deserve my money. Im not going to jump through hoops, switching providers, etc to watch the sports i want. It was pretty obvious i was willing to pay for what i wanted, but they didnt want to reasonably want to supply it.

[@b-retrogamer2324]

Absolute garbage

[@Hardworkinharv]

10 for espn+

[@Hardworkinharv]

Per month

[@johndangelo4647]

Winged Wheel podcast, smug and annoying. Locked on Red Wings informative and entertaining, good job boys.

[@paulwt9783]

Also the team gets noticeably worse results with the Raymond version of the top line. Neither Ray nor Larkin has scored a goal on that line in 9 or 10 games of it. If you go through and look game by game at results, the few wins with that top line were all games in which Kane scored a goal, had multi-points, etc, either on line 2 or on the power play. There has not been one single victory this year driven by the Ray Larkin Cat top line. Not even one. It is what it is. They looked like that all preseason and we were told hey it's just preseason. Derek gave them the putrid Pittsburgh defense probably assuming they'd finally go off and help him justify his lineups, but they didn't. Now he will give them the putrid Sharks and Ducks w the same hope. If they pot a few goals vs these dead teams he will feel vindicated and we will see that top line for the rest of the year. Team is being held hostage by its coach in lineups and systems. Has to go.

[@jennifermorris9985]

How many games have they won with Kane on the top line vs Ray?

[@JackConrad-e4v]

None of that matters. Raymond on first line or second line. Kane etc. of all of Lalonde line changes those two are the most minor. Petry on the second line. Johansson benched for Holl. Copp on the second line. Gustafson not even playing on the left side ever. how about fire Lalonde bring in Quenneville.

[@francoismichaud7061]

​​​@@JackConrad-e4vand you forget Berg and Kasp, I like the way they play but they both lack puck protection and recovery experience just like any rookie. Would be good for the team balance and their confidence to separate them. They have what? 3 pts combined?

[@JustinHendersonVvvV]

Make redwings offense great agian

[@davideggleston1031]

Anaheim: a bad hockey team that has been bailed out by good goaltending. Sounds familiar.

[@LockedOnRedWings]

Hey! We’re a MID hockey team bailed out by good goaltending 🤣

[@JackConrad-e4v]

@@LockedOnRedWingsfunny part is going into the season a lot of people were really concerned about Lyon and a 37yr old Talbot. And that’s been the saving grace while Lalonde figures out how to make a line. Possible coaching change “Quenneville”?

[@rh21992]

[@edenisburning]

Am I the only person who prefers our Locked On boys over the Winged Wheel podcast? I like the WWP guys, but they're getting a bit too close to the organization itself. It's almost like they're becoming another piece of the Wings mainstream media. You guys still have that independent analysis feel. It's more authentic and the analysis is more realistic and honest. Plus, neither of you are as depressing and negative as Brad is on the Winged Wheel Podcast.

[@savagenumber15]

I prefer to have both. Both have their own perspectives, and I think it's a hard sell to say the WWP is carrying water for the Wings.

[@edenisburning]

@savagenumber15 I listen to both everyday at work, so I'm with you. It's not like I don't like the WWP.. because I do. I just like the Locked On guys more.

[@edenisburning]

@savagenumber15 And I think it's an easy sell. They have Ken Daniels doing their opening. They have WWP night at the LCA. They are in the box talking to all the Wings media, who are all regularly on their show. Those guys have behind the scenes access and get interviews that only insiders get. The issue is, once you're an insider, there are certain things you can't really say. I have noticed that the closer they get to the team, the more they tow the organizational taking points.

[@DefectiveSquash]

Kasper needs to be on 2. Trade JT and bring up Nate. This team is Vanilla

[@JackConrad-e4v]

I think jt would do well on a wing. If kasper and danielson end up on the team they might move compher over.

[@DefectiveSquash]

Still have to pay to watch games? This merger is a nothing burger

[@charedboy2]

Fire Derek Lalonde! He is awful at line match ups, line changes and his system sucks. The dump and chase is a waste of time and this team will not improve under him. There is a lot of the same player on this team, seems to be a prototype, you know the guy that can't possess the puck, can't dump and chase, can't pass worth a shit, can't shoot the puck worth a shit, can't get the puck out of their own end worth a shit. Larkin,Debrincat,kane,Raymond, Sieder, Kasper, Edvidsson are the only sparks on this team, the rest of the guys are all checking line players but can't even really check. Ville Husso needs to be released he has sucked since the first month he was with the team. Bring up Cossa, ffs how long does it take to develop someone who has been playing the same position at a high level their whole life?
