A2Y- Meh…

04/02/2023 at 6:30pm EDT

Greetings and welcome to all. It’s going to be either interesting out there on the ice tonight, or, a totally bad ending. Kasper is supposed to make his NHL debut, so there is still something to look forward to.
With six games left to play after tonight, I wish I could be more upbeat but, meh….

It’s the Wings vs the Leafs in an Original Six matchup. The puck drops 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 SNO.

It’s a Live Blog!

Hi Katie. To be honest, if Ghost wasn't making his debut tonight, not sure I'd watch. Losing is tiresome. L.G.R.W.

Calquakeold

Pssst... Ned, it's cheese grabbing time. Earn it or Hellboy will take the opening.

MAATTA!

rwbill

Evenin Bitches!

Thanks for the set up Kate.  Here we go.  A remarkable start, but this Leafs team can really tip the ice in a hurry. 

rwbill

Well they didnt need that chintzy PP to get going!  Such quick passing.

rwbill

I think Kasper got his hand over it. 

Yeah.

rwbill

Wow Yonatin!!  This game is pretty wide open.  Great shot.

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Good start. Tuned in just in time to see a Nedeljkovic save, and a beautiful Berggen goal. Keep er goin. 

rwbill

That was almost a great combo there. Kasper angled right across the goal. Almost got a tip in.

Chet

Is it me or has Murray let in two absolute stinkers? Not that Im complaining. 

rwbill

Wow the Leafs goalies are not seeing the puck tonight!

Kate

I honestly have been waiting for the Wings to score before I made a comment. Glad I did.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Now we know the secret for the draft lottery night... :-)

rwbill

I saw that #22 and had a flashback of Brett Lebda.

rwbill

2016 last win in Toronto.  Holy crap.

Chet

Raymond just lost an edge there, terrible luck for Murray. 

rwbill

The good news is that a lot of the Wings kids look like they are ready to rent a tuxedo and go to senior prom.  

Calquakeold

People say exercise is key as you age. I do 7 sit-ups every morning. I know it doesn't sound like much but you can only turn off the snooze alarm so many times.

Cigar-Nurse

Is it me or does Cheriot seem to have more snarl in his game when he plays Torannah?

CalquakeoldCigar-Nurse

Yes, it seems so. Although that was the reason he got a four year deal.

Cigar-NurseCalquakeold

Hes my 2nd place most  disappointing player after Nedeljkovic.IMHO

rwbillCigar-Nurse

Did Copp climb out of the basement?  Not a lot of points but Ill take the players word that he contributes a lot.

rwbill

Take a look at goal line technology.  Nope it did not go in.

Cigar-Nurse

The ghost not afraid of standing in the slot in his first game. Impressive. 

Kate

Mickey reminiscing about Kasper the Friendly Ghost.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

CalquakeoldKate

Not to be confused with KKKasper the Unfriendly Ghost.

rwbill

Anyone else all of a sudden getting TikTok commercials touting its value to small business with first person stories?  Very timely.

Chet

Would anyone else be surprised to learn that the Wings have a pretty big edge in penalties drawn vs. taken? I really didnt expect that. 

rwbillChet

Hadnt thought of it.  Maybe they need to play with more snarl. :)

Cigar-Nurse

Hory crap.  They actually called a dive. What a douche nozzle. 

Cigar-Nurse

Bunting once again being a Richard. Gets a well deserved 10 minute misconduct. 

Chet

Mmm things getting spicy late 2nd. I still have no idea how that even got started, except they decided they dont like Bunting? 

rwbill

I recorded The Ten Commandments last night. It will take me all week to get through the 4:45 probably. Not really too religious but I always enjoy watching it. And this guy is a stud!

how do you miss the net on a breakaway

Cigar-Nurse

Cue the game management penalty as Kate likes to say. 

Kate

Such bad officials 🤡

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Ill accept the premise that Larkin isnt a true #1C, or at least a superstar like some, but he is having a very good year.

Kate

D-Boss! With the Hattie!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Larkins dad is quite the character. Eh?😉

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Larks eng hattie. Thatll do er.  

Kate

Im loving the banter with Mickey..😄☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbillKate

Was thinking the same thing, weve got some great characters to listen to.  Murph, Mick, Ozzie.

rwbill

Oh cool , Perron goes back to get the hat trick puck.

Cigar-Nurse

Molson 3 stars: 1st Nedeljkovic 2nd Larks 3rd Maatta. 

Have a great night 19. 

rwbill

Hopefully by 11 oclock well be having a jar.  Lolol
