Il semblait plutôt énervé pendant son temps avec les médias.
Une question m’a beaucoup marqué. Lorsqu’on lui a demandé si l’équipe était plus difficile à affronter, et si cela ne s’est pas produit, sa réponse a été assez passionnée. Son nom a été abandonné, Alex DeBrincat, se faisant un devoir de mentionner que bien qu’il soit un "petit gars », il sort constamment avec la rondelle en raison de sa compétitivité. Il a soutenu que cet état d’esprit doit se répandre dans toute la liste en disant que les gars doivent avoir cette compétitivité et doivent trouver cet avantage « par eux-mêmes ».
Plus tôt dans l’interview avec les médias, il a explicitement interpellé les vétérans, affirmant qu’il ne s’agissait pas d’espoirs, de jeunes joueurs ou de gars qui resteraient dans la ligue pendant quelques années pour sortir de la ligne droite. En d’autres termes… si vous voulez vous plaindre du fait que certains gars jouent un rôle alors que vous avez le vôtre, que diriez-vous de nous montrer que vous êtes au moins prêt à faire les parties les plus difficiles du jeu quand cela commence à devenir plus dur mentalement ?
Dites ce que vous voulez de lui, mais il a participé à une finale de la Coupe Stanley. Il sait que les équipes ferment les écoutilles lorsque les enjeux deviennent élevés. Le fait qu’il ait poursuivi en disant que toute cette équipe était là pour participer aux séries éliminatoires alors qu’il avait déjà fait partie d’équipes en séries éliminatoires vous dit tout ce que nous devons savoir.
MODIFIER: Pour ceux qui le peuvent, je recommande de consulter l’article de Max Bultman qu’il a publié après avoir publié ceci. C’est une version plus neutre par rapport aux sentiments les plus durs de ma part.

Ok coach 🤠
Don’t care if he’s got the « worst WAR in the league, » he’s handsome as fuck and he will fight. Gotta have role models on the team.
It’s probably to easy to say that getting rid of Compher is the solution but he’s the one that stands out the most to me when talking about competitiveness. He just seems to drag his ass every shift and it’s clear how he’s been complaining about his line mates.
That’s all well and good but he’s literally the worst player on the team and one of the worst players in the NHL
ETA: our fanbase and falling in love with absolutely ass players because we like their vibes, name a more iconic duo
We need to ship off 5-10 people. I could see him being one of them but he’s one of the few that play with a physical edge. I’m conflicted about retaining him
This has been all that the organization has been. Talk about playing harder and vets leading the way, just to get whooped game after game in the spring. Talk is cheap
> Earlier in the media interview, he explicitly called out the veterans
Let’s go through our bottom 6:
– Compher (veteran)
– Perron (veteran)
– van Riemsdyk (veteran)
– Appleton (veteran)
– Kasper (sophomore who actually hits people and works hard)
– Rasmussen (veteran)
– Soderblom (traded for being a jersey)
– Mazur (rookie)
Absolutely none of these players were part of the solution this season. I think he was right for calling out the veterans, but you’re interpreting it incorrectly. Veterans make up almost our entire bottom 6.
There are veterans in the bottom six, my dude. Specifically, JVR, Perron, Compher, and Appleton. And Rasmussen turned 27 today and has 450 NHl games, he’s not a puppy either.
You realize that playing heavier and scoring aren’t mutually exclusive, and that that’s actually what he was saying by bringing up DeBrincat?
Guys, I get what the stats say, I get that a trend over years is hard to ignore, but my vibes tell me Chiarot helps more than he hurts.
*Red Wings meme people if you could do me a solid and respond with the vibes guy meme, that would be great*
No one wants to talk about the fact that once he joined the team, this team started collapsing every March. He is part of the problem. He was a -13 with 3 points in the last 20 games. GTFO with this fake anger
Haven’t listened to Chiarot yet, but was this said as calling guys out or is he taking accountability himself? I agree the vets outside of the top of the roster didnt get it done this year. The kids were good (Finnie, Ed, Aljo) to mostly as expected (ASP, MBN). Kasper didn’t contribute as much offensively but his game never hurts you. Hard to pin the season on a sophomore.
Bottom of the lineup is guys like Compher, Ras, Appleton, but it’s also Chiarot, Hamonic, JBD (who had a good season) and Talbot.
As much as I like what Chiarot had to say, he didnt help this team on the ice down the stretch
I think Chiarot has a future in coaching/management, seems like a very intelligent and well spoken guy who was able to verbalize many of the issues without going the « I don’t know » route many of our more passive players chose to go with.
I’m confused by the post. Need to go watch the interview. Sounds like he’s saying guys like JT, Ras, Appleton didn’t like Finnie and maybe Kasper playing top 6. Which makes a lot of sense. JT played great for a few games up in the lineup and then disappeared on the 3rd line.
It’s going to be a long off season.
This is like, the 3rd hot garbage take in this sub today
The problem is that winning puck battles isn’t a matter of trying harder or “compete level”. It’s a skill, and it’s about being good. Yzerman doesn’t bring in enough good players that win battles and generate offense, so the team sucks ass.
Chiarot himself graded out as having a 0th percentile impact on his teams offense. He’s a huge liability and a big reason a lot of the players he’s pissed at (some of them also suck) aren’t playing better.
At the end of the day, the bottom six didn’t produce the offense needed. Veteran or not it doesn’t matter. Too many of these guys don’t pull their weight. McClellan put it perfectly about just jerseys eating up minutes. The Wings had no scoring depth. Look at the goal differential, honestly it’s amazing we did as well as we did. Gibson carried this team to the record we have.
i know plus minus is a garbage stat over any one game but look at the season stats for just that and you can see what happened with this team. they may or may not “want it bad enough,” but they also mostly just sucked.
i can’t imagine i was the only one watching some of those dec and jan wins and wondering how it was happening. they weren’t passing the eye test most nights and here you are.
Bottom six isn’t the problem and isn’t really worth worrying about. Until the top-6 is playoff caliber they could have 6 Rasmussen’s and the outcome wouldn’t be a ton different.
