A2Y- Back To Back

03/31/2023 at 7:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. How long has it been since the Wings won in the waning seconds of a game? Jake Walman made it happen last night at 19:56 of the third period, proving once again that good things happen when you SHOOT THE PUCK. Kudos for Nedeljkovic as well for holding it together quite nicely. These last few games have been extremely entertaining, and, more effort is being put forth if nothing else, and that’s all we ask. Tonight’s game in Winnipeg seems like the Wings are running a marathon out there with the back to back, so here’s hoping….

It’s the Wings vs the Jets. The puck drops around 8:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit) Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+ and TSN3.

It’s a Live Blog!

Evenin Bitches!

I was thinking last night I always expected Datsyuk and Zetterberg to pull off something like that in the waning seconds.

I did update 20 days of Peloton of Suck data for the playoff teams.  Florida moved into a wild card spot way back when they thrashed the Wings, then lost 4 in a row.  They are really the only team in a position to challenge the Pens or NYI.

Hola boys and girls. Wasn't feeling well yesterday and missed the game. Today is another chance for the Wings to show how far they have (or haven't) grown from last season. L.G.R.W.

rwbill

Jebus, looking at that chart the Wings only chalked up 7 points over 15 games, 57 to 72.

rwbill

What do you call a deer with 15 point antlers?

Hellabuck.

bigfrog

Hi all. I have to stream the Winnipeg announcers tonight, and that's OK.

StargateSG1

Why you not play friendly ghost Kasper, Newsy?

rwbillStargateSG1

I was hoping to see that.  Maybe we havent seen enough of Erne, Luff, and Czarnik.  Maybe still under a six hour time change lag.

Kate

Boooooo!

Get it back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!L

Chet

That goal was nobodys fault. They happen, great play. 

What Im noticing is WPGs kits. Those things kick ass!

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Glad to be back with yall. So we already spotted em a goal and pp coming up. 

Thanks for the POS RW

bigfrog

0-2 We know where this game is going.

StargateSG1

Mo got schooled there by Names a bit

Cigar-Nurse

Double merde. Gonna be a long game if we dont curtail the Jets speed.  

Chet

Yes, yes he did SG. 


May not finish this one off. If theyre going to be unwatchable, well

rwbill

Wow this is getting ugly real quick.

bigfrog

0-3 Winnipeg Announcers are having fun.

rwbillbigfrog

They are overdue, been a disappointing couple of months for them.

Kate

Pull him! I had to say it.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

StargateSG1

1st goal 2nd in 17 games
2nd goal 1st in 22 games
3rd goal 1st in 10 games

What's the "best" team to get out of slumps against?

Calquakeold

Maybe we havent seen enough of Erne, Luff, and Czarnik.


Oh yes we have.


And a goal for you... and a goal for you... and a... you get the picture.

Cigar-NurseCalquakeold

Why not play Elmer,the ghost,and Edvinsson? Whats to lose except a higher percentage for the draft lottery. 

rwbillCalquakeold

To be clear, I should have said, maybe THEY havent seen enough.  Im ready for some other tryouts.

Chet

The thing is they havent really been on Hellberg. These are bounces and tips and blown coverage. Just craptastic. 

Cigar-Nurse

Wings playing like their skates got impounded by customs at the border. 

rwbill

Thats at least twice theyve had an open net and not scored.  Along with the open nets they have scored.

rwbill

31 shot attempts vs 10. Yikes. It was vey lopsided last night too, in the wrong way.

rwbill

Oh sumbitch. Thats 4.  Well Hellberg probably could have done better on that one.

Chet

This is a particularly bad pasting. Night, all. 

rwbillChet

Good call, see you soon, hopefully with Kasper in the lineup.

rwbill

It is sad, and shocking, that of all the Detroit sports teams, the Lions are closest to playoff caliber.

Chet

One last humorous thought: good thing they sat Kasper! 

rwbill

Half way through this game and already looking forward to the Man City - Liverpool match tomorrow morning, but have to get up by 0730 Eastern.

StargateSG1rwbill

Man City should never have let Zinchenko go...Arsenal benefited big time thou.

rwbillStargateSG1

Hes going from champion to champion.  What a ride.  Cant be coincidence!

StargateSG1rwbill

Yeah, but at the same time, when he plays for Ukraine (or any of them, actually),
I want to murder them all, cause they can't complete a simple pass.

rwbill

Im sure Veleno is a solid responsible player, but the Wings need more forwards who can score.  Competition for roster positions next year is a good thing.

Cigar-Nurserwbill

We need forwards who can hit,battle on the boards,get the puck oot of the d zone, and yes, score. Sigh. 

rwbillCigar-Nurse

Hopefully that describes Mazur and Kasper, but its easy to say until they actually play against NHL competition.

Kate

Wait. Theres still a whole period to go? 

Calquakeold

I'd like to say the Wings are playing uninspired but they'd have to step it up a notch.

bigfrog

0-6 Double Yippee. It just shows how far the Red Wings need to to ever compete for the playoffs.

rwbill

MoFo.  6 in one, half dozen in the other.

Calquakeold

I hope Newsy doesn't say they did some good things oot there tonight... because they didn't.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

I have become comfortably numb.....   Drink Bitches!  it helps  lol

rwbill

I am tempted to just bail.  There are still 12 minutes to go and have a PK coming up.  I have episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond to watch.  Compared to this, Schindlers List would be uplifting.

Katerwbill

Hey, Imma gonna skate, and lurk lightly.. Go for it RW Have a better night

rwbill

A goal!  What is it?  Odd deflection.  Accidental, but throw it at the net.

rwbill

Hey Veleno!   Shut My Whore Mouth!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Perron and Veleno - drink x2

Cigar-Nurse

Well its the 3 rd period wake up. Almost time to pull the goalie LGRW 

rwbill

Not competitive at all.  Until next time, reprobates.

Cigar-Nurse

Until Sunday night, have a good night 19.
