Update: The Hockey News’s Sam Stockton offers this from Derek Lalonde:
A few hours earlier, coach Derek Lalonde—himself a western New Yorker by birth—expressed his enthusiasm for the sports synergy he’s found in his adopted home town of Detroit.
“I sound like a broken record when it comes to the [Detroit] sports,” Lalonde said after today’s two practices concluded. “Very excited today because my Buffalo Bills looked really good [last night], so I had a little more jump in my step in the locker room. Bills are in a good spot because Patrick Kane [from Buffalo] was half on board. I asked him to be more invested this year, so no surprise we’re 3-0. Of course, I watched the Lions. They’ve made me fans [sic]. Obviously, Detroit is personal. We share the same ownership [with the Tigers]. Even some internal growth and beliefs in approaching some things. It’s been pretty cool what they’ve done. I like the Tigers. I lost my baseball team, the Expos, back in the day, so I’ve kinda been a free agent, and that logo D is tough not to like. It’s been fun to watch.”
