Chiarot is fine because he is at least a bully.

Indeed…I’m willing to give guys like him a pass considering he doesn’t have a problem getting his nose dirty.

 

[Sentinel]

Our defensemen played pretty decent I think. Maatta had himself a good game, Chiarot too. Lyon was chefs kiss again. Cat, Raymond and Cap have to step it up.

That's exactly what he did. A textbook definition.

 

[dalem177]

That's why I'm hesitant to be all-in. The wheels on the team bus went flat in late Oct and through the Sweden trip. Larks filled 'em with Fix-a-flat, and we made it into December before those wheels flew off.

Only real difference is, the team isn't rotating three goalies. Lyon is our starter, and Reimer is lucky to get a game during a back-to-back. As the hockey gods intended.

Oh, come on - what's the worst that can happen? A team that, although better than the last several seasons, we know still isn't really a top competitor, makes a seriouos run and falls short? Or gets blown out in Round 1?

How is that bad? And don't say "the tank" because obviously this team is beyond that now.

Come on - it's fun!

And if they fall short, pop in your copy of Miracle and watch some fun hockey hero stuff!

Rasmussen, Lyon and Maatta had a great game. Larkin had a very bad game, but he made up by scoring a beautiful gwg.

Lyon is red hot. It is not 2-3 games, it is almost 10 games and it is very probable he can keep it going.

Husso is 9-5-2, I said that Lyon would have taken the two OT games, but in the losses the Wings 3 goals twice, 2 goals twice, and 1 goal once. So I said 3 games, maybe Lyons steals one...maybe 2. So that would be 4 game difference at most.

No matter how good the goalie is, you have to score to win. Since Husso only lost 7 games including OT, there's no way it'd be 10 anyways. Reimer actually played well in about half of his starts, and the ones where he shit the bed happened when Lyon was injured.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Might be a bit of a hot take, but Jeff Petry made some solid defensive plays tonight. Give me that guy every night please.

He has been better since the start of the season when he was a non stop turnover machine.

Maybe ducking that shot in Sweden affected him.

I went into this season feeling like we're one more year away. I've been saying for a while now that we were told to not expect playoffs (because, you know, we were).

If we get blown out in round one? Whatever. If we miss the playoffs? Doesn't matter to me. Maybe I fire up Cities Skylines 2 or Baldur's Gate, or whatever other game I'm playing. Maybe I re-watch some good movies.

But know one thing: Edward Murphy smiled when he saw the bolded line. After all, he once said "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." It's best to not tempt fate like that.

 

[raymond23]

Missed most of the game unfortunately

LETS GO RED WINGS

 

[Sadekuuro]

Is Mr. "Be Better at Hockey" officially back?

He was better tonight, at the very least.

 

[Gniwder]

Maybe ducking that shot in Sweden affected him.

That got him demoted to 3rd string, and I think that's what really got him. He wasn't mentally ready to play when both Husso and Lyon got injured.

If Lyon hadn't gotten injured then we'd be doing a lot better. Reimer would've had some time to get his head back into the game.

 

[HoweFan]

Life is good again being a Red Wing fan. At one time we were worried about getting ten points or so out of the next stretch of games. I think we are just about there already. My new Fav player Raz got two points so I hope everyone will leave him alone for a day or two

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Chiarot is fine because he is at least a bully.

Without him and Petry the Wings defense would be 10-ply, except for those nights where Seider has a burr under his saddle.

(and I'm not talking about Shawn. RIP)

Walman too has some snarl, but make no mistake we don't have Scott Stevens, nor Ken Daneyko roaming the ice...The knuckle dragger in me wishes we did

Maybe he lurks on here and realizes he needs to step it up...

 

[NervousPerson]

Woooo!

Victory!

Hat tip to GhostBear who looked like he screened Bob on the O.T. winner.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I was gonna say, Petry has played a lot better lately.

Larkin was awful tonight but stepping up with the OT winner makes up for a lot.

Nice win!!

 

[Henkka]

Boston - check (x2)
Toronto - check
Florida - check
Tampa - check (earlier in the season)

We are handling pretty well at Atlantic Top5.

Problem is more of those Atlantic bad teams and Meteopolitan division games

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

That's exactly what he did. A textbook definition.

I mean his play during the 60. If he just had a normal day, then this should’ve been a regulation win. The shortie was his turnover and on the 2-1 he’s got a chance to clear, fails, Boom in the back of the net.

 

[Man Purse]

Friday is my 900th game

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

I only watched the back half of the game and will gladly take the victory. I literally could not tell whether Larkin was even playing for about 15 minutes. Hopefully this was just a one game issue.

We have no option but to ride Lyon at this point. We probably need to spell him on some back-to-backs, but this is as good as our goaltending has looked all year and it makes a difference for sure.

 

[FMichael]

Friday is my 900th game

Congrats!

Listen - just between you and me and the other Red Wings fans here...Do us a little favor eh?

You had an awesome run with the Habs a few years back - sorta like beating back the clock on 'Father Time'...We all saw your eyes - we all know you made a deal with Satan...Do it again for us?

 

[Detroit Knights]

Prime example
TNT: Biz says Panthers have played a perfect game... score is tied
Panther: Wings are legit, game is tied, it's a tight matchup

biz hates the wings. It's not really a secret, he doesn't like them and his bias was showing during the entire game. Whitney likes to talk up the wings because he was a fan when he was a kid growing up I guess, and biz likes to hate on him for that. So i think a lot of the broadcast was to say all that hate for the wings straight to whitney through TNT.

and btw, whoever said I could still watch it on espn+? I hate you now.

 

[Ezekial]

Did Larkin yell to Ekblad after he scored or did it only look like it?
