A2Y- Live Blog Tonight

04/06/2023 at 6:30pm EDT

I'm in for Kate tonight so please take it easy on me.

Does the outcome of the game tonight against the Buffalo Sabres matter? Nope

But, but, but how about the draft lottery? Whatever happens, happens.

Just go out and play, have fun and celebrate a win.

Four more games left after tonight. Saturday the Wings hosts the Penguins (in the hunt for a wild card spot) and depending on how things play out, Detroit could be playing the spoiler role.

Watch tonight on BSD or MSG-B.

Well, well, well if it ain't the new schoolmarm. We will treat you like family. Truly dysfunctional but friends nonetheless. :)

Calquakeold

Penalty Shot... and he misses.

Paul

Checking to make sure I didn't block every one from commenting except Calq..

CalquakeoldPaul

I'm sure you meant that the other way around. :)


Czarnik!

rwbill

Evenin Bitches! Or at least one or two.  Storm just flashed through here at the end of a warm day that brought the familiar mid-atlantic heavy air that surrounds and presses down on you.


bad penalty shot but then they give up a goal right after. 

rwbill

Marco has a fractured kneecap? How the heck did he even play that game?  They didnt know? Or one of those not as bad as it sounds things?  

Cigar-Nurse

Howdy 19. Hope  Kate is ok. Facing a rookie goalie doesnt usually work in our favor. Down already on a pretty snipe.  Time to get er back. LGRW 

rwbill

That is cool.  As dysfunctional as the Tigers organ-I-zation has been since 2015 the English D is still iconic.

rwbill

Czarnik!  What a shot, I think that top corner is what he was aiming for, I mean not a deflection.

Cigar-Nurse

Czarnik with a roofer. Way to go. 

Cigar-Nurse

Larks with a beer league goal. They all count the same. 

rwbill

Fight night lol. 
Larkin is having a very good year.

rwbill

The Traditional Buffalo Skinner is a favorite of custom knife makers. Produces a great looking knife still used for beef skinning. A must for the deer hunter.

-

The original Buffalo skinner!

Chet

What started all that? 

rwbillChet

I think it is alledged that it was Skinner crosschecking Raymond at Center ice.

rwbill

This live standings watching is crazy, Pittsburgh win and Isles tie puts them even for the second playoff position behind Florida, with the regulation wins tie breaker going to the Isle.

For now.

bigfrog

Im at the game tonight bringing my usual luck.๐Ÿ˜ณ

Cigar-Nurse

Merde. Didnt understand the refs call on the skirmish. 

Erne flubbed an attempted clearing resulting in that pp goal. 

CalquakeoldCigar-Nurse

I'll be surprised if he's back next year unless he's the 13th forward. Available for call-ups.

ChetCalquakeold

Yea hes depth only but Ive said before he works his ass off. Team could do a lot worse. 

rwbillCalquakeold

Been a decent albeit unremarkable role player.  Need more players with an aura of star quality.

rwbill

I wonder if Perron had not tried so hard and got off a shot whether they would have called a penalty shot for denying a scoring opportunity.


I dont know what the conversion rate is now on the penalty shot, but in many ways, I would rather have a power-play anyway to hopefully dominate two minutes or less.

rwbill

Man what a slick play by Larkin though

Chet

Kubalik just had a very dangerous shift. Good for him. 

rwbill

Well that English D jersey auction rapidly accelerated out of my price range. Moritz Seider jersey is already at $1900, even Zadina is at $520.

Cigar-Nurse

Nice 2 goals to tie er back up. 

Good luck Wolverines in the frozen four playing right now. 

rwbill

Seems like Buffalo should be doing better. Theyve got some top shelf talent from recent classes.

rwbill

Seems like Buffalo should be doing better.


I didnt mean this game !  I meant for the season.  Jeebus.

Chet

Holy fuckin SHIT Matt Luff everyone! Now Ive seen it all. 

rwbill

Cant get enough of the wonderful Luff.

Chet

I hope he makes SportsCenter, that was ridiculous. 

Cigar-Nurse

Oh that Luff. Berggen finished it.  

Paul

Berggren has 15 goals.  Who saw that coming?

CalquakeoldPaul

Certainly not Zadina.

ChetCalquakeold

LOL. Berg looked like a player as soon as he showed up. Zadinagone, do we think? I was resisting the idea but not as much anymore. 

rwbillChet

I dunno, hes got two more years on his contract with Detroit.  Certainly think Kasper and Mazur might earn a look.

Chet

Skinner holds a stick and then dives. No call. What a league. 

rwbill

StL on the way to a win so Detroit could jump up to the coveted 3.5% spot.

rwbill

Those young guys like Raymond arent excited at all to win games.

Kate

Hi 19! I knew I should join in. OT!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbillKate

Evenin Bitch!  I had to get you indoctrinated right away .

rwbill

Seider has used that soccer kick back to goalie possession pass a lot.

rwbill

Someone let out a pretty good F You!

Kate

Craptastic! Skills competition..

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Quite an exciting last 15 seconds considering the first 4:45 were quite dull, Detroit spent most of the OT chasing the puck.

Cigar-Nurse

What an OT. It needs to go to 10 minutes instead of the 5.  

Kate

Im a game wrecker tonight.๐Ÿ˜‰

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

FL and NYI are blowing out their opponents to tighten the noose on Pittsburgh just a little, but only 3 games left for Pittsburgh to get up a point on one of them b/c their Regulation Wins trail the other two.

bigfrog

6-7 Final. Guess I didnt miss anything leaving early.๐Ÿ˜ž

rwbillbigfrog

Well I hope you beat the crowd at least to whereever youre going.

bigfrogrwbill

I didn't have any problem. Pulled right out of the LCA garage.
