A2Y- An Early Start

03/04/2023 at 12:00pm EST

Welcome everyone, to an early start. After the dust has settled, and, everyone has their say about the trade deadline, Yzerman, ect… we can get back to being the best, most fun loving bunch of Wingaholics ever. Just reading all the comments everywhere shows me a fickle fan base. Second guessing the moves or lack of them doesn’t change the fact that it will/would take a miracle to get this team into the postseason. We don’t have to like it, but, it cannot be denied.

Today we face off against the Islanders, who are fighting for a WC spot just like the Wings are. It’s going to be interesting to see who wants it bad enough.

It’s the Wings vs the Islanders. The puck is set to drop sometime around 12:30 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit and 97.1-The Ticket. Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+ and MSGSN.

It’s a Live Blog!

Howdy Katie. It is what it is. L.G.R.W.

Howdy 19. We are who we are post trade now. Stevie trying to cut losses before they happened and saying he wasn’t convinced they were a playoff team after the road trip says a lot of the work he will have in the future. 

Very corporate answer regarding the Vrana dump. 

Hope you are having better days and weather Cal.

I've dug out about 40% of the driveway, it's exhausting work. No assistance available until Mon or Tues. As long as power stays on we're good.

How’d you do with the storms blowing through last night Kate? Had just below hurricane winds here but not much damage. 

Kate

Just got back from the store. I’m all in. Come what may.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Ken: "Zadina has provided an important role in Detroit."


I wouldn't take a fan poll on that.

Ken must get a bonus for the pr chirps. Not very persuading there fella.

Noticing those glow in the dark Zambonis 

Kate

Shoot the GD puck!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Please tell me why Chiasson was on the power play. But that explains why they didn’t shot.

Cigar-Nurse

Elbows to the head ok if the receiver is dressed in red and white.  

dca

This team (minus Seider) is so soft. All but a select few are unwilling to throw their bodies around. 


They aren’t even skating to the bench hard on line changes.


It’s noticeable how much the effort is lacking this game—especially the forwards.

Kate

Shoot the damn puck!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

D-Boss! Just like Mickey said.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

dca

That’s a turnaround. That should have been a shorthand goal and Larkin scores on the other end.

Cigar-Nurse

Wake up. Larks with a slam dunk. Way to go. 

dca

23 secs to go and two forwards peel off in the offensive zone for a line change…

Kate

Lidstrom is a grandfather. Wow! Congratulations Gramps!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-NurseKate

Remember when we wanted Lids sons and Stevie’s daughters to procreate future Wings?

Kate

You knew that was coming….Ugh!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Walman is back. Good news.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Craptastic! Get it back! Now!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Calquake

Jake trying to be a little too fancy oot there.

Cigar-Nurse

Merde. Goal by a guy who has done that his whole career. Try to get er back. 

bigfrog

A penalty of course, and PP goal. Guess I will do the snow now. Later.

Calquake

Game over. Later reprobates. 'Til tomorrow.

Kate

Later Quaker. I hope you get a thaw going oot West that doesn’t cause apocalyptic floods……

Cigar-Nurse

Erp. It’s fork sticking time.  The refs always seem to be bad to poor teams. 

Whoop there’s another. 

Kate

I guess we all know who wants it more. Later folks. I’m hating even watching the Wings in Philly tomorrow.

Cigar-Nurse

Until tomorrow. Maybe. 

KateCigar-Nurse

I’ll watch unless it goes south……. It’s too nice outside to watch bad hockey. Even for me.

Kate

At least Kaz is enjoying the win. So there’s that. 

KaszyckiandhisKrewKate

He enjoyed the third period.  I will post my game commentary on a newer thread.   

Kate

Kick at the cat one more time….. Mickey on Chiasson….. it’s good stuff..😉
