GDT: Game 71: Red Wings at preds 5:00 pm et 3/23/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

Sauce and meatballs simmering. Might be ready mid-game.

 

[13to40]

Another must win game with every time around them in the standings gaining points.

I think it’s going to be a “win and your in” kind of end to the season.

Hopefully not a slow start because Nashville isn’t a team you want to fall behind to with Saros in nets. (If he starts)

 

[cvaicunas]

Win-lose, Red Wings need Alex Lyon to have a solid game and get back on the right track.

Echo-chamber understatement on how important every point/win is now moving forward.

Flyers have 79/Capitals have 77 with a game in hand. Tight stuff.

Hopefully the Caps overtake the Flyers and push them into the wild card hunt. I'd feel more comfortable battling them to get in. That being said, the easiest answer is to just win our games

Time to cool down hottest NHL team

... by coming out hot. They laze around for the first 10 minutes again and it'll be murder.

Well, just battle the Flyers then. You don't need them in a wild card spot to do that.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Last 3 wins came on nights I've worked out. On the treadmill right now just to be safe.

 

[theYman]

Somehow the Islanders beat Winnipeg today. So this game is a must must win. Is Larkin out again? Saw Czarnik in for Larkin??

Mick just said Lakin is in, we'll know soon enough

It's good to feel nervous about a game in late March

well, I guess I was nervous last year too, but I was worried they might get too many points and screw up their draft -- turns out that had that happened and we dropped a couple of spots, we could have still probably drafted the same guys we got. Pretty sure Danielson would be there at 11; we would still have gotten Pelikka because that 17th wouldn't have been affected; and all the rest (Brady Cleveland LOL) would still be there. And shit maybe we'd still have drafted the same guys had we had slightly better position.

Maybe I just worry too much.

Drink for the afternoon: Rum, with rum and a bit of rum. Main star of the blend, Foursquare Elysium, a spritely 120 proof offering, aged first in bourbon and then in sherry casks.

Reimer should be in net!

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

who was Kane trying to hit with that pass?

 

[dalem177]

Lyon!

who was Kane trying to hit with that pass?

Me, I think.

 

[LongTimeDRWF]

who was Kane trying to hit with that pass?

The guy sitting on the bench because he forgot it was 4 on 4?

 

[RRhoads]

All those icings when not under pressure needs to go

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

so far it feels like we're going to need some puck luck to get even a point here

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

why is Larkin out again?

 

[jaster]

Rum, with rum and a bit of rum.

Made me think of this…

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

why is Larkin out again?

he's right there, just got waved out of the faceoff

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

It's always great when the ESPN+ app decides that I don't have an account partway into a game. What a shit app.

 

[norrisnick]

why is Larkin out again?

Because you don't just get one shift. You get lots of them.

 

[Filppula]

Great shift Larkin and Ray, and good read to jump in DBC.

 

[theYman]

Yeah that's a crosscheck. PP!! Let's goooo

They boooin Kane lol. Why do they hate him?

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

now we're not going to get a call again for either a period, or until Nashville gets one, so Nashville will be able to get away with bloody murder for a while
