GDT: Game 81: Red Wings vs habs 7:00 pm et 4/15/24 (BSD, ESPN+)

[DamonDRW]

The most important game of the year? And if we win the next one tomorrow is even more important

Is it Wall Lyon or Window Lyon though?

Whether he's a wall or a window, what matters is scoring, and we need to produce tonight and tomorrow. We have to win both games, and we need Washington and Pittsburgy to lose at least one of their next two in OT. Both teams have tiebreakers over us.

Let's f'in go, boys!

 

[JoesuffP]

I want to see 2 goals from the bottom six and we cruise through this one

 

[theYman]

Please keep Copp away from the lineup please. Everything is starting to fall into place. Don't f*** it up and mess up the lines. He's too slow. I wish Walman would hurry up though

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

Best not to expect a comfortable win. It's not like Montreal has only recently fallen out of playoff race, their priorities game to game are established and they've been competitive in many games lately vs. much better teams. Nashville, now with nothing to play for and looking ahead to playoffs, might be an easier opponent tonight for Pittsburgh. Home finales for non-contenders are pot-luck, but again a tough game should be expected tomorrow. Don't fall behind early and let them get excited about a possible win. Stay out of the penalty box. They have enough skill on the PP to inflict some damage, season-long averages are meaningless now.

Over the last few weeks, Montreal has an OT loss to Edmonton, a win in Colorado, a win over Florida, OT loss to NYI, losses that were one-goal games in third period to Carolina and NYR. I expect about two and a half hours of anxiety and foul language tonight.

I could go for a nice training montage hype video.

"My great aunt used to say "kids - "close enough" is appropriate on a moonlit surrey ride but in most of life it only counts for horseshoes, hand grenades, and proximity fused photon torpedoes." No one knew why she liked to play the Federation ships in her Star Trek game, just as no one will really know why the Wings couldn't manage to coax a bit more power from their warp engines if their playoff run ends up falling short of "close enough"."

[ShanahanMan]

Keep Copp out

 

[brett89]

theyre more then capable of winning both games. lets go wings!

 

[odin1981]

Been staying away from the forums lately, but huge game tonight, must get 2 points if they want the playoffs.

 

[WingFanSD]

mtl is going to roll wings both games

 

[wings95]

Let's go Wings. You need these two point and hope the Caps lose Bos.

 

[Maitz]

Go Wings Go!! You guys needs the W and we need the L, also rooting for you for the last playoffs spot. Always been a fan. P.S : don't be too hard on Hutson for his first game

you might be rooting for the Wings to win a little bit, but I bet you're hoping just a little harder for a Hutson hattie, and those two events are probably mutually exclusive

They’re lying to us about Rasmussen’s injury aren’t they? It’s probably pretty serious, probably season ending. What’s he done this time?

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Montreal is missing Xjekaj (sp?), that gives me a little hope, he's a pretty effective physical presence

If I recall from the replay he landed hard on his butt. Tailbone?

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

or a fall like that can cause a disc problem in the lower back, particularly for a tall guy

Ooo, good point. Didn't think of that.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Let's go!

 

[theYman]

Are we ever gonna see Kane Larkin Raymond? I feel Ray's game has taken that extra step since Kane joined the team. I would think they would have good chemistry. Seems Kane might be rubbing off on him?

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Let's GO boys

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

less than optimal Petry decision, drop pass 6 feet from our goal
