Good evening to all and welcome. It the annual “Wings bring a loved one on the road for a few games trip” so I do expect extra effort from every single player. I mean, I do every night, but, whatever. The Wings should come out tonight firing on all cylinders as they face off against a Habs team that just lost to Boston, so they’ll be feeling it. The guys really need to be up tonight as they tend to play down to teams they view as lesser opponents, or so it seems. Both of these teams are pretty evenly matched, so it’s a battle between two mediocre teams. That’s more realistic. Anyway, I’m just going to be patient and try to enjoy these games. That’s why they play, and why we watch. For the fun.
Bert is a game time decision as of this writing, and no Zadina for tonight.
It’s the Wings vs the Canadian in an Original Six matchup. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 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+, RDS, and TSN2.
It’s a Live Blog!
Hola 19, Kate and Paul. It's a great night for a hockey game. L.G.R.W.
Bonsoir mesdames et messieurs
Bonjour Paul and the 19. The Habs’s 3 rd jersey is awful in the smurf blue.
Have the Canadian feed tonight and will see what their perspective is. LGRW
PooBah in the House!
Thanks Kate.
Mickey is at home.
Evenin’ Bitches!
Good Golly, no to Montreal in Smurf.
Thanks for the set up and blog to PK and Kate.
Ras!
Boy, Rasmussen with a nice skate and shot !
Whoo Rasmussen with a power forward esque goal. Keep er goin.
poop
That seems like a lot of dads compared to the old days.
Crap a giveaway right there.
Bad Pope move. Get er back.
That could get him excommunicated.
To the bench or press box?
Yes.
That was unfortunate.
Ras!
Bonjour…..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Oui,oui.
That made me visit the toilet.
Getting old is fun.
Even if your son is a veteran in the NHL, getting that pic on ice in Montreal has to be pretty cool.
Get who ever dumped Ras
I went to Publix this afternoon. Difficult to get through their bakery section without putting a few thousand calories into the cart.
I assume you picked up a head of lettuce also to, you know, balance out the calories.
Crap, I’ll have to go back for that. i did get a 12 pack of Torpedo IPA.
Hydration is very important.
Haha, more trips to the toilet.
Cole Caulfield had 26 goals already. I remember Yzerman saying he was great at changing the angle on his shot to find a hole to the net. He didn’t draft him, though. Kind of small, but who needs 26 goals before All Star break?
Unfortunately he’s done for the year with shoulder surgery.
Yeah that’s a bummer. Hockey is brutal.
Yzerman drafted Seider at 6 that year, so no complaints. Caufield still available at 15 for Montreal, so worked well for both teams.
One down, two to go.
Meh road 1st period for 2 meh teams.
Pretty much sums up the season so far eh?
Wait, that said O=zone possession Detroit 2:43, Montreal 1:04. That’s a total of 3:47. The other 16:13 was just a bunch of chasing around? That’s kinda what my brain saw. If you’re Montreal and got out of that period with a tie while you didn’t have Offensive Zone possession for 19 of 20 minutes you’re pretty lucky.
Must be the dreaded 'Neutral Zone'.
“Puck over glass”
As opposed to duck under glass.
Berggren!!
Yeah Berggren! Swarming around the net.
Berggen sayin ya ain’t sending me down to GR. Keep er goin kid.
Like I’ve said once or twelve times, I can’t see sending down Berggren to make room for Zadina, unless in fact they are trying to tank.
short handed poop
Oh just plain sonuvabitch. I would say the Wings are really outplaying the Habs but not so when you give away quick goals like that and can’t keep a lead.
FFS. So refs miss a high stick to Cool Hand and leads to a shortie. Get er back.
That looked painful .
Sunny!?
Sunny scores. Let it be.
it’s a good goal! Sunnyside up !
Can they actually protect the lead for the rest of the period?
3-2 Sunny.
Sunny!
Oh FFS now the PK.
3-3 Just sloppy.
JFC. No. They cannot keep a lead for six minutes.
Sumbitch.
They sure are horny in Montreal. Can’t hold a lead for nuthin.
Both teams... meh.
Kate is either very busy, bored or being held hostage.
I was busy, but now I’m ready for fun😉
The Wings had better deliver……..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Maybe kidnapped litterally by the grandkids.
I’d have a great time ifin the grandbabbies got me. It’s one of the best parts of my life so far…..
Good for you.
I'm guessing the lucky half comes in at #3, after the Wings of course.
The lucky guy is probably #1. Just hit the 50 year anni on January 3rd. It’s been an incredible run so far……
Fantastic! Congrats. Him and Five boys. What a gal.
Wowsers. Congrats Lady Kate.
My sincerest congrats. May you enjoy many more.
Well this just shows what hockey is, dominating most of the play for a game can be neutered by a couple of mistakes. Structure up and down the lineup matters.
That’s why you have to play a 60 minute game or else you scratch your head wondering why you never go the playoffs.
Anybody notice the Wings have gotten manhandled all game long by the Habs?
Dumb penalty.
PK for a Bud Lynch minute.
WTF!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Bah. Dopey penalty at a terrible moment Rasmussen
Husso!
Husso!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Wow. Larkin and Perron were gassed on the other end of the ice. Game saver by Husso.
Why do Berggren and Raymond look so young to me?
OT again.
OT
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Oh tee once again. Must kill a penalty before thinking of offense.
Fought off the 4x3.
4-3 Final.
Husso!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Fabs!!!
Fabbri!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Wow that could have gone either way. Nice feed by Ras. Husso may be #1 star even if only 23 shots.
WE WIN!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Tomorrah on the Island…..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Ras playing great hockey. Later reprobates.
Yes he is.
Fabulous Fabbri with the winnah. Until tomorrow. Good night 19.
Fabbri is about a foot shorter than Ras lol.
Son hid my phone and I couldn't find it the entire game. Whew. Glad we came out on top!
HaHa, darn kids.
