    After that, a discussion on where this leaves the Red Wings season, if Detroit is destined to fire their coach, the schedule ahead, and an overall analysis on how this affects the "Yzerplan" as Steve Yzerman seeks to balance the rebuild (with Sandin Pellikka, Brandsegg-Nygard, Cossa, Augustine, Danielson, Buchelnikov, & others in the pipeline) with this tough season (15:00).

    Next, we have the big discussion: does Steve Yzerman need to consider firing Derek Lalonde? How much of the defensive woes are on Lalonde vs. Yzerman bringing in the likes of Gustafsson, Holl, Petry, and others? Who would replace him - Quenneville? McLellan? Montgomery? Sullivan?
