And I don't know if anybody watched Detroit, but man, Iserman looked mad.

He looked, you could tell he was mad and there's a lot that's still going to play out there.

He left open, like he said, I'm going to see it through.

I'm not going anywhere and I wouldn't expect any different.

That guy is no quitter.

You're going to have to drag him out by his arms for him not to try to fix it and make it work.

But he left the possibility open that the structure changes, and he definitely talked about player changes.

You know, one of the things I suspected was, you know, a year ago he took criticism, even internally, for not going out and helping them.

This year he helped them, and it still didn't get them.

And you could tell he was mad at the players.

And, you know, I think when you take a look at how hard Todd McClellan was on the Red Wings players after that last game, the 8-1 loss to Florida, and I think everybody understood why he felt that way.

Iserman, McClellan up there together, and Iserman giving him a 100% vote of confidence, that was a message.

That was a message.

And the message was the team I've put together,

It's not good enough.

And we already knew that from the fact they didn't get in.

But you know how sometimes managers will defend it, say we weren't ready, we had some bad luck, maybe some injuries.

No, he wasn't sugarcoating anything.

We've talked about how Iserman is all – he has admitted he won't pay prices, and especially for rentals.

Big summer for him.
