Plan the parade!!

 

[DetroitRed]

So, who is going to sneak an octopus into the game this season, COVID be damned?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Fabbri has really stepped up tonight.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Nice DJoos breaks the PP slump.

Keats w/jokes: "MonkeyEctomy" ha

*this season.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Fabbri has really stepped up tonight.

We needed him to, With Larks out.

 

[aar000n]

Wow a pp goal. I went to the bathroom assuming it would not happen.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Wild Prediction: Bernier scores the next Wings goal.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Wings scored a PP goal and Helm finished for a goal.

So I'm thinking I should head to my apocalypse bunker now?

 

[Gniwder]

Larkin must be what's dragging the team down because they look great tonight, lol. But seriously, that 2nd was one of the best periods this season.

LGD playing well lately, looking more like a 3C than a 4C.

 

[Red Stanley]

Maybe I should watch less games, cause when I don't they seem to do better. But then again, I don't want to get blamed if we don't finish dead last. Ah, to have such great power and the great responsibility that comes with it.

 

[HoweFan]

We’re gonna be buyers at the TDL!

 

[FabricDetails]

Was anyone here actually hoping the Wings would break that Powerless Play record?

 

[DetroitRed]

The guys are probably like "Djoos, what did you just call that kind of goal? I had no idea that was even a thing."

 

[Gniwder]

Wings scored a PP goal and Helm finished for a goal.

I'm heading over to the nearest sorority. If Helm can score and the Wings PP can score, then anyone can score tonight, right?

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Was anyone here actually hoping the Wings would break that Powerless Play record?

Honestly yes. When you're that bad on the power play, you might as well be historically bad.

Nielsen with the empty netter.

Also, I love that we get to have this running gag of “has Nielsen scored a goal yet?” again this season.

But nobody expects him to score. Hronek is more concerning.

 

[DetroitRed]

They're all grown up now. Even got their own power play goals.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

The secret is that I needed to put money on the game. Because I know Detroit is bad, $20 on Chicago. So I lose and Detroit wins!

 

[MBH]

Wings benefitting from Howard-like goaltending these last two games.

I think Hronek is being so relied on for defense and ice time that the offense has taken a hit.

Looks more like bad team defense in this game. Bobby Ryan wide open, Helm ridiculously open, Djoos through a screen.

Rinne was Howard like, didn't cover the post properly and kicked a puck in to boot.

I think last game for sure. I don’t know how anyone could expect Subban to stop the Helm shot given that location and that much freedom to get the shot off. The Djoos shot was placed perfectly. Even the Ryan goal was taken in stride and released in a blink and put on the post and in.
