Is Matthews still out? Last I heard, he was day to day, but Babs was in no rush to risk bringing him back prematurely.

 

[Bondurant]

Still in Grand Haven visiting my folks. I'm willing to trek across the state. The old man wants to stay local. We're going to Van Andel tonight instead. If the American Hockey Jesus is still out for Toronto all the wiser to stay local. Should be fun. I'll follow the Wings on the NHL app.

Or is 43 51 41 the first line?

Technically they're the matchup line, and I'd say you can go either way on calling them the first line.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

So is it a 3-2 OTL after blowing a late lead or a 4/5-1 embarrassment?

It really is time for Nyquist to get off Z's tit. Both of them have not produced enough to warrant them being together any more.

 

[Christien]

Howard... again? Can’t say I’m surprised

 

[jkutswings]

So is it a 3-2 OTL after blowing a late lead or a 4/5-1 embarrassment?

If Matthews plays, I'd expect the latter. Without him, Toronto has really struggled to score, so I don't know what to expect.

Then again, Montreal had been struggling mightily on offense before that back to back against the Wings...

Khan is saying AM is out tonight.

DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings won't have to deal with one of the best players in the NHL tonight, but the Toronto Maple Leafs still present a challenge with a bevy of talented forwards.
Auston Matthews is expected to miss his fourth game in a row due to an upper-body injury when the Leafs visit Little Caesars Arena (7:30, Fox Sports Detroit).

Red Wings: Toronto loaded even without injured Auston Matthews

 

[Mister Ed]

No Matthews tonight, it seems. Larkin has a big game, 4-2 Detroit win.

Holland discusses the Wings plan for the future

Holland interview with TSN. Not super relevant to the game. He's still talking about meaningful games in March, but seems like he's starting to accept the inevitable a bit...

How naive is Ken saying they will spend the next 15-20 games evaluating if they can make the playoffs or be in sell mode..

Playoffs ?!???

I want to be the guy who introduces Ken Holland to the field of statistics. His mind is going to be blown when he finds out that some things are more likely to happen than other things, like how the Wings are incredibly unlikely to make the playoffs now. And on top of that, we can use math to discover the probability that those things will happen, which allows us to make plans well in advance when the probabilities are overwhelming. I can't wait to see his face. It's going to change his life.

We will probably go on a run now

When i first read that i thought it meant Anthony Mantha and i was disappointed.

Then i saw that it meant Auston Matthews... and I'm still kind of disappointed lol

 

[Martinez]

At least the LCA will be filled up tonight, with blue

 

[ArGarBarGar]

Yep. Going to be embarrassing, especially if the Wings lose.

I can't watch Wings/Leafs games anymore because the last one I went to in person (Matthews first game at the Joe) was a nightmare. And we just aren't any good against the team.

Goodie.

Athanasiou can't even say he's a fourth liner.

He's part of the 2/3rds of a fourth line.

Holland and Blashill are flat out liars.

oops, I didn't even think about it.

And John Chayka said AZ’s process is going the right way after they started the season with 10 straight losses. Man, it’s almost like GMs don’t generally throw their entire team under the bus.

Correct, they only throw their most promising prospects under the bus.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I thought we had no promising prospects?

 

[Goalie guy]

Shit they could ice the Marlies and we would lose in ot!! Kenny Holland and the Trashill gang are on the loose watch out.
