DETROIT — Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman knew his team needed a change. So did his captain, Dylan Larkin. As a result, Yzerman and Larkin were each speaking to reporters Friday — the day after Yzerman fired head coach Derek Lalonde and replaced him with Todd McLellan. “Our team isn’t performing up to what my expectations are,” Yzerman said. “Whether anybody agrees or not, I have expectations for the team, and they aren’t meeting them because our players aren’t playing to each of their own individual expectations.” The Red Wings nearly ended their playoff drought last spring, missing…
After dropping their season opener 4-3 to the New Jersey Devils, the Detroit Red Wings have turned around to win five consecutive games, landing them fourth overall in the league standings. The duo of captain Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat has fuelled Detroit’s rise to the top in the early going. The Red Wings have scored at least four goals in each of their victories and have topped six goals in a game three times this season. DeBrincat leads the NHL in goals (eight) and points (12) to start off his career as a Red Wing. After a one year…
Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen underwent knee surgery in New York on Tuesday. Stars coach Pete DeBoer told reporters before Tuesday night’s game against the Anaheim Stars that Heiskanen’s status is classified as “month to month,” possibly leaving a window for him to return late in the regular season or during the playoffs. Heiskanen was slated to play for Finland in the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament but was ruled out late last week. Heiskanen was injured in the third period of the Stars’ 4-3 overtime victory over Vegas on Jan. 28 after taking a hit from Mark Stone, who…
Parenting, McLellan found, is a lot like coaching. Experience is the only path to enlightenment. And, “until you do both,” he said, “you really don’t know what you’re into until you live it for a little while.” Todd and Debbie McLellan never thought they’d let so much dust settle on the cover of the book. They originally bought “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” after all, figuring it would serve as a de facto resource manual; that when times got tough, or when answers weren’t clear, they would turn to the wisdom within its hundreds of pages. A parenting…
“I’m sure they’re liking what they are seeing so far.” The Detroit Red Wings have received the best Christmas gift they could ask for. And Steve Yzerman played the role of Santa Claus. On Boxing Day, he relieved Derek Lalonde and Bob Boughner of their head coaching and assistant coaching duties. Todd McLellan and Trent Yawney replaced them. The Red Wings are currently on a West Coast trip. They have their second and final meeting against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. On this road trip, they have collected six out of six possible points, starting with a win over…
Ryan Whitney hypes up $69,600,000 Red Wings star’s contract as one of the best bargains in NHL The Detroit Red Wings’ 2024-25 season has been a whirlwind thus far. At the Christmas break, Detroit was 13-17-4, which led to the firing of head coach Derek Lalonde. But everything has changed now that Todd McLellan has taken over behind the bench. Under their new head coach, the Red Wings have gone 14-4-1, saving their season and jumping back into playoff contention. With 59 points, the Wings hold the first wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference. Captain Dylan Larkin, who is in…
In big-time college sports, there are games that a coach and a team just flat need to win for their fan base. For Mark Pope and Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball, Saturday night’s homecoming game with John Calipari and Arkansas was one of those. That UK and Pope were outplayed and outcoached by the Razorbacks and Calipari in taking an 89-79 loss was a bitter pill for the Big Blue Nation. Still, it was just one regular-season game. There is history of Kentucky under a first-year head coach absorbing a home loss that distressed its fans then going on to…

COURTESY PHOTO Trent Seaborn Trent Seaborn and his family pulled up to the South Carolina football facility at 8 a.m. Saturday and discovered an empty parking lot. It made no sense. This is peak recruiting season. Junior days are in full swing all across the country. Heck, the Gamecocks hosted dozens of kids just a week earlier. Then the Seaborns saw USC coach Shane Beamer on the balcony, welcoming them to come on inside. There, South Carolina had gathered a number of assistant coaches, analysts,…
Former LSU DB Greg Brooks Jr. and his family have spoken out against their former program in Baton Rouge. Brooks Jr. and Greg Brooks Sr. discussed their story, along with their ongoing lawsuit against Louisiana State University, in an interview on ‘Good Morning America’. That included a direct question from the father to his son’s former head coach in Brian Kellyas they allegedly haven’t heard from any of the Tigers’ coaching staff since October of 2023. My son almost lost his life, coach. Where were you?” Brooks Sr. said. “Forget about football. Pick up the phone and say you love…
