GDT: Game 82: Red Wings at habs 7:00 pm et 4/16/24 (BSD, ESPN+)

I’m fully prepared for them to break my heart tonight.

Same...Been preparing for several weeks.

must win hockey right here

 

[cvaicunas]

Agreed. Regardless of what Kane's feelings or plans are regarding next season with the Wings, he's an ultra-competitive dude. I'm sure he badly wanted the Wings to win.


Definitely.

He always looks casual out there. Then when he or his teammate scores he gets excited.

Admittedly I never watched Kane specifically before, pre ESPN+ and sailing the high seas, I was pretty limited in viewing options. That and bartending, tended to take me out watching most games. But he is odd to watch, on one hand you could say he is cool under pressure, and on the other hand, there have been times I wish he seemed more motivated. That said, I am sure it just an appearance issue, rather than an internal drive to succeed.

At this point, we could all make forum t-shirts with this plastered on both sides.

 

[Bench]

It's that time.

 

[Chelis Chili]

If we win today and qualify for the PO's, we will also win the Stanley Cup! Cinderella Story! Period.

 

[jkutswings]

It's that time.

I found the secret weapon for a guaranteed win tonight! From Jurassic Park techno whiz, to goaltending coach!

I think he learned that from Eddie Belfour

Just a little cup check.

You, of all longtime fans, are not allowed to say this...think positive...we've put up with too much crap these last 7 years

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

butt status = puckered

nervous but ready for a Red Wings win!!! This game is basically our Stanley Cup this year.

 

[FMichael]

Just a little cup check.

If there was ever a case where a cross check, or slash to the larynx was warranted…

 

[ricky0034]

I thought about it and I think the biggest tease would be the Wings coming from behind for an overtime loss, the Capitals blowing a big lead to lose in regulation, and Pittsburgh winning tomorrow

so that's what I expect to happen

Oh, I agree. I’m optimistic but I’m also gonna be drinking during the game

raymond hits 50 tonight. bank on it

 

[dalem177]

"Tonight's NHL slate is a tale of old scores that reach back to the American War of Independence, when the city forts of Detroit and Montreal exchanged hands a few times, and the original American capital of Philadelphia was defended by a general named Washington. As the Red Wings' playoff hopes depend on victories on this last night of their season by Detroit in Montreal combined with the Flyers over the Capitals in Philadelphia, we can truly say that the Wings' playoff hopes are down to their victory plus a capital affair at the twilight's last gleaming. Let's go Red Wings!"

he should go for 70 just in case hitting 50 isn't enough for the Wings Defense and Goaltending

 

[dalem177]

I got myself some Bulleit for tonight.

[wingerdinger]

Fischer needs to come back. He'll be cheap and plays an important role.

agree im a big fan of Fischer and that copp, ras, fisch line was unplayable at times would love to see that line together for a full year.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I am in my vintage Yzerman jersey and Jiri Hudler signed Wings hat. hopefully that's enough because I can't find my mini Wings jersey to dress up one of the cats.

 

[dalem177]

C'mon Jimmy Rhymes! Be the wall!

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

It's hard to fight my pessimistic side so I predict the Wings will win tonight but Washington will beat Philly in OT to take the final spot.

AKA the ending to the Lions season in 2022.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

C'mon Jimmy Rhymes! Be the wall!

I hope he makes the game winning save with his face, would be pottery.

 

[dalem177]

If you think you have a GRUMBLING problem, see BENCH!

 

[Snuggs]

DeBrincat... Hat trick. 5-2 win.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

I really don't care (too much) about the Crapitals. If the Red Wings win and the Crapitals win, that's fine, we'll get a slightly better draft pick, and the team has demonstrated with these last two games that they have character and great promise.

And even if we lose tonight, last night's victory will still carry over to next year. I think they're really gelling. Larkin is a leader, Raymond is a f*cking stud, Seider and Edvinsson are all you guys said they'd be, and we have a bunch of other great pieces. Just need a few tweaks (like a #1 goalie and 2C) but those might be in the system already.

It's been a great season and I'd like to thank you guys for your patience with my attempts at humor.
