Dylan Larkin sends humbling reminder to Red Wings teammates after crushing defeat: "Not good enough"

On Little Caesars ice today, the Red Wings didn't provide enough defense to protect goaltender John Gibson. While the offense didn't provide support either, the team was demolished 5-1 by the Blackhawks.

John Gibson finished the day with a .789 save percentage. Absymal.

The Blackhawks and Jeff Blashill made this game a revenge game, with Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teravainen, and Connor Bedard all having multi-point games.

Captain Dylan Larkin would call out his teammates.

"Not good enough".

He'd mention that the team wasn't good at the face-off circle, which led to the majority of the team's woes today.

The lack of wins on the draw led the team to be outscored by the Blackhawks, and their original six rivals controlled the ice during special teams, which led to a collapse on the penalty kill.

While he did point the finger at himself, the team rightfully shares the blame as the effort wasn't good enough.

Larkin, Lucas Raymond, and Simon Edvinsson were the only players who came away with a point today against the Blackhawks.

They were unable to capitalize on their looks while being shut down by goaltender Arvid Soderblom, who stopped 45 of 46 and ended the game with a .978 save percentage.

The Red Wings won't play again until Thursday, and will give them plenty of time to regroup and figure out where their weaknesses are at the moment.

One of those should be focusing on shooting with a purpose, creating chances, and getting into the dirty parts of the ice.

The typical hockey speak for "doing what they're supposed to".

Larkin stressed the team's inability to win at the face-off circle and win each consecutive battle on the ice.

A disappointing start to Nate Danielson's NHL career,the top prospect was called up from the AHL. Danielson had 4 shots on goal, 1 takeaway, and 15:16 time on ice.
