As the 2024-25 NHL season nears, Detroit Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde joined Bally Sports Detroit broadcaster Ken Daniels for a live Q&A at an Ilitch Sports + Entertainment event.

Lalonde expressed his optimism about the Red Wings' progress, highlighting their growth last season:
«We're methodically going in the right direction. To see some of the growth in those guys, yes it translates to wins, but it's very rewarding as a coach,» Lalonde said.

Looking ahead, Lalonde emphasized the importance of team defense and praised new and returning players, including Patrick Kane and young talents from Grand Rapids. He also lauded IS+E colleagues for their dedication and the electric atmosphere at Little Caesars Arena.
«First and foremost, I think it says something about Patrick Kane that he wanted to be here,» Lalonde said.
