Welcome to all. The Wings sealed their own fate the other night with another spectacular display of bad hockey. They are so soft, and, that is going to change. Yzerman has been very busy, and, he really never showed his hand. He got Larkin’s deal done, which no one was expecting until after the season. He traded two of the Wings fan favorites, in Bert and Hronek, and, I think more changes are coming. We’ll all know tomorrow by 3:00 PM. If not sooner.
One takeaway from this is, Yzerman doesn’t play around, but, we already knew that. There will be a lot to discuss during the LB tonight.
Erne is in. Vrana is out.
It’s the Kraken vs the Wings. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit) Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+ and ROOT-NW.
It’s a Live Blog!
Howdy Katie. I want to be positive aboot the Wings going forward but that's asking a lot. The necessary talent is just not there. A Cup run within the next 2-3 years is a wish at this point unless major personnel changes, whether from the draft or trades, can occur. I'm depressed.
I hear you Quaker. I’m not that depressed yet. Not to be mawkish, but, the crappy thing for some of us is actually time. Not enough of it. 😉☘️
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Howdy gang. Can’t watch tonight, still undecided if I want to listen. It’s been a pretty demoralizing week to be a Wings fan, and I think I need to take a few days off. We’ll see. LGRW! Also take care of yourselves. You guys are the best.
Whatever gets you through the night… We’ll be thinking of you.😉
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
PooBah in the House!
it's not that bad - the team got a taste of what is needed - Steve is making the adjustments... that he had to make due to expiring contracts. Yes its disappointing. The Future still looks bright and i felt the big free agent buys this summer were a year or so too early. Reload and soldier on.
Thanks Kate.
I might not post much. Not rooting for wins.. I do want to see youngsters do well.
Thanks PooBah 😉 Mickey will be in the house tonight.☘️
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Hi Calquake and Kate. I figured before the season started that Ottawa and Buffalo were ahead of the Red Wings in their rebuilds. They are unfortunately.
You’re right. You could tell at the end of last season that those teams were on the upswing. We’re stuck in second gear…..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Hey bf. And neither are exactly playoff caliber teams.
poop
Go Erne!!!
Chairot!
1-1 Chariot.
Drink!
Chiarot !
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
deuce poop
1-2 Playing bad.
Booo! And a goalie too SY…..
Boo - drink damn it. every goal we give up.... drink!
Evenin’ Bitches! Thanks for the setup Kate and to PK for all the follow up news after the trades.
Rasmussen done for the season, aw crap. I’d kinda been obssessing about him.
Team not looking too sharp or energized except for Erne throwing down.
Percentage wise for the draft right now they are still a higher win pct, i.e. lower draft pick, than the Capitals and a couple of others you wouldn’t think they’d be higher than. But with the roster shuffle and the tough schedule they’re headed for their winning pct should go down and therefore draft odds should improve.
In fact right now based on winning pct they don’t have any chance at the #1 pick in the lottery b/c they are only the 12th worst, and you can only move up 10 places in the draft now.
I’m so sick of these bogus calls. Eff it!
Chychrun to Ottawa ! Wow. Ottawa must feel optimistic.
They’re a team that is built for the playoffs and they’re D just got better.
1-3 The Stinkfest continues tonight.
I really should’ve given a down arrow because the statement is accurate.
Booooo!
DRINK!
How many goals will the Kraken score?
I'm going with 8. :)
8 is great! It’s also a song by The Count on Sesame Street 😄
There is no obligation to watch, so don’t feel bad, anyone, if y’all can’t hack it tonight.
There must be a Kraken the Wings defense.
Seider!
Shoot the GD puck!
2-3 Seider.
53 imposes the Seider house rules to LCA.
Seider!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Seider!
Drink!
The Wings need to play with bags of chips on their collective shoulders….
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Thank goodness for the long reach of Seider to deflect that shot over the net.
As Kate said about no obligation to watch there is also no obligation to drink. I don't want anyone to do something stupid because of me.
I don't need your urging to do something stupid. I can accomplish that all on my own. :)
Like, we’re all still watching this game. Right?😄😄😄
Touche.
Hola 19. What a difference a week makes and not in a good way.
Very disappointing returns for losing Lil Bert and hronek.
Glad to have the support group here. You really have to be a Wingaholic to bear all this.
True Cigar-Nurse. The rebuild drones on, unfortunately.
3-3 Berggren.
Berggren!
Berggren! A beauty!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Yeah Berggen. Way to go kid.
Nice - Wrong Way!
3-4. Can't this team play defense?
Not from what I've seen.
Jeebuz Wings! Boooo!
quattro poop
Again with the Italian lessons for us.
Drink again - Seattle goal
Bah. Left alone in the slot.
Jebus Christmas.
As everyone here loves betting, I looked up the goals over/under for this game, it’s 6.5. If you bet on the under, you’ve already lost, with half the game yet to go.
4-4 Walman.
Jake!
Walman!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
I love this guy.... The Wallmiester with a great goal!
Holy shizzle! Walman doing his primetime Kronwall impersonation.
Wallman dodging 2 sliding defenders and hits the net. Way to go
SY wouldn’t have let even Larkin hit the deadline without signing him, never mind Bert. His signings last summer were probably ill timed considering Bedard and the depth of this draft, but I get it. If Bert had been healthy and Vrana not disappeared (does ANYONE know what that was even?), maybe they’d have been a WC team. Now he has to sell and this will set them back a year or two. Just how the business is.
I’m just tuning in and now these guys want to play? This team is so frustrating. Just a rotating cast of not nearly good enough.
Good for Erne to come back up and get one. Just saw the score sheet.
Just a rotating cast of not nearly good enough
That's why they're 2-3 years away.
2-3? No. They’re in purgatory.
I think it’s just time to admit the moves from last summer were a mistake, as was not moving Bert at a minimum then as well. Hindsight all that, but loading up on the FAs they got was not going to get them into the playoffs and only ruined their draft chances. I’ve banged this drum before.
And nobody is tearing it up in GR. Don’t know much of the guys in the overseas leagues.
I was trying to check up your weather yesterday but didn’t know the zip. I put a map up here when you first moved up there but you said you were farther west from the interstate than I showed, so you might be back in the Pine Mountain Club area.
Exactly.
Maybe that’s not remote, but that’s a good way off the Interstate. Is that near the Grapevine section that’s been closed for snow? Pretty darn cold at 5000 feet isn’t it?
Raymond at -11 and Chiarot -23, ouch.
Is that bad?
Snowmageddon update: I'm a 72 yr. old with a bad back, bi-lateral hernias and arthritic knees. It took me and the better half two days to dig out 1 of our cars. Can't get the driveway cleared out until next week. No wonder I'm in a pissy mood.
Hard freezing every night ensures the snow will stick around !
You betcha.
Ya. The next time someone says 70 is the new 50 I’m gonna ……. I forgot what I was sayin….😉😄😄
A few years ago I started realizing that 70 was NOT old. Of course with my 50th high school reunion I reviewed the list of passed ons and many didn’t make it that far.
Truth.
You still have booze and maybe weed?
I wouldn't have made it this far withoot them.
Me neither.....
Holy Jumpin’! 5 has even been closed in that area hasn’t it? Does CalTrans even bother with your highway back there or they too busy with other routes.
It's a county jurisdiction so no. And the I-5 has been shut down a few times since last Saturday.
Criminy.
Somehow that didn’t get into our net.
Wow! Lucky break there!☘️☘️☘️
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Zadina keep yer head up kid.
Didn't Berggren get a penalty for a similar hit in Ottawa?
I don't like how no one came to his defense.
That has to change.
Right now Detroyet is sitting on a first round 12 pick and the NYI’s 14 pick.
I know for lottery purposes it’s in their interest to lose but I’m going to cheer for them to win anyway because they’re going to lose their fair share anyway.
OT
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
O.T.
OT time. Who is the hero?
Bullshit!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
3x3 OT, hero is Ken Holland!
Heh. This is another fine mess you have gotten us into Kenny.
Ain’t that some sh1t
So Zadina gets boarded right into an official. No call, but, they called that crap on Seider?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
That was in no way boarding.
4-5 Final.
Uckfay!
Another one bites the dust. Later reprobates.
Schwartz was parked right in front of him.
Later 19.
Oh well, Par for the course. Thanks again Refs.
Refs win once again. Until Saturday. Have a good night 19.
Stay safe Cal. Don’t overdo it.
I don't plan on it.
