McLellan’s blunt honesty: Detroit fans deserve more as season ends in boos

After Detroit’s season-ending 5-3 home loss to New Jersey, coach Todd McLellan candidly admitted the team didn’t meet fan expectations and acknowledged the boos, saying the outside noise is the fans in the arena and that they deserve accountability and an explanation for the future.

Long-time Oakland Athletics fan Stu Clary is urging fans to pack the stadium for a weekday night game as a counter protest against the team's owner, John Fisher, who has been blamed for delivering a miserable product.
