It’s All or Nothing

04/16/2024 at 6:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. It’s game #82 with outcomes yet to be decided, and, as long as the Red Wings take care of their own game, then the rest doesn’t matter. The team, and the fans, are well aware that it’s all or nothing.

Reimer is in goal tonight. No other changes to the lineup have been announced.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Canadians in an Original Six matchup. The puck drops around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast/simulcast on Bally Sports Detroit and TV20 (WMYD in Detroit), and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit). Also available on ESPN+/NHLPP, TSN2, RDS, SPORTSNET+, and SCRIPPS.

It’s a Live Blog!

Hola Kate, Paul and fellow nervous reprobates. If it helps I'm here to cheer on the Wings. Hope it makes a difference. L.G.R.W.

Katecalquake

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Good Evening to my long lost brothers and sisters.  It has been a very long time....

I sincerely feel that what would give us the luck and strength we need tonight is a visit from The Godfather himself.  Most of you know to who I refer.  A word from The Chief himself I feel would not only take us back to the glory days of old but also satisfy Joba the hockey God and provide us his long deserted children the serenity we need to get through this day.  So who is with me?  Who else will rally behind me and hope, pray and demand that The Chief help lead us to that entitled land that us Red Wings Fans know in our bones that we have and deserve?  Its 17 to 12 right now and I want what is OURS.  

LETS GO RED WINGS

and

DOOM TO THE CAPITALS

He we go Wingaholics! 

Hi Kate, Paul and the best fans in Detroit (or wherever you reside). 

I am pumped for this game no matter what happens Let's Go Redwings!!!!

bezukov

To Paul and Kate: thanks for a great season of LBs.   This is a heart and soul place, and you guys make up most of it!   

To the rest of the gang, at minimum we got 82 games of meaningful hockey.   The season ended in February for plenty of fans.   That wasnt us this time.   As always we hope for more for more good to come, but let us not lose sight of all we have to be grateful for.   Its been a wonderful and entertaining season overall.  

Now that Ive said all the sentimental stuff LGRW!   Lets kick some hab  asses!

Katebezukov

Youre right bez, this is the ride I want to be on.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Evenin Bitches, for about the 78th time this season! I missed 3 or 4 while traveling or out FO.

Thanks again for the LB to Paul and Kate for tonight and for the season.

The Wings have surpassed most all predictions.

Lets hope their propensity for bad plays and turnovers doesnt come back to bite them tonight.

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Well this is it. Put up or shut up. This is like a playoff OT time. Lets see how the nerves deal with er. LGRW 

SurferKen

Cigar-NurseSurferKen

rwbill

Holy crap a few of those plays were I was making diamonds already.

bezukov

Uuuuuhhhhbbhhjgjfjfjfjfjdjrj.  Fuck. 

Kate

Arrggghh!

Get it back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Chet

game 82 and still making those defensive mistakes. just insane. 

bezukovChet

The wings new defensive coaching in the offseason.  

damndogrevenge

Bad D man pinch!

Let's Go Redwings!!

rwbill

The Wings also got a case of the Yips to start this game.

Cigar-Nurse

Och di liber. Seider ties er.  Way to go. 


Kate

Wake the f**k up Wings!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

calquake

Sure would like to see Sprong score.

bezukov

Careless start.   Gotta clean up the lazy play.  

Kate

Boooooo!

Get it back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

A season long habit of giving up easy goals.😏

Bill_H

There's nothing easy about this group; they make the game as difficult for themselves as possible.  Sigh...

Paul

Hate to say it, but Detroit looks like a team playing their 5th game in 8 nights.

Kate

They need to play much, much, harder.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Good Lord , tired of seeing the 2x1s with our defenseman spread-eagled across the ice.   And the puck in our net. 

bezukov

It really is incredible how comprehensively the Wings get punished for their defensive lapses.   

Kate

Whoa! Holy mackerel!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

WTF!

Get it together Detroit!

Now!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

The next 3 foals are huge.

Hey theres 1!

Kate

Veleno! Answering back.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

stonehands78

philly has tied it 1-1 at 7:31 in the 2nd

bezukov

Kane and Perron dont have enough legs to be on the same line together.  

bezukov

Jeez.  No way but the hard way for these guys.  

bezukov

Well friends, that second could have been a disaster.  

calquake

Watching this game while checking in on Philly-Caps, it appears Les Habs are more interested in winning. You know, the only team not in contention for a playoff spot.

Cigar-Nursecalquake

Yeah. It looked like the broons half assed it last night vs the Caps as well. 

rwbill

Last period, good luck, bitches!

Hope we dont face the Flyers empty net scenario.

stonehands78

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! 3-3

Cigar-Nurse

Spronger finally pots one. Thats the kind of goal to let the air oot of your sails. 

bezukov

Nice to see Sprong off the schneid.   Good call Cal.  

calquake

Kind of a jerky celly by Sprong there.

bezukov

Primeau is giving up some primo rebounds.  

Bill_H

Jeeze, this team has turned into the "Cardiac Kids"!  Come on boys, put this game away!

Cigar-Nurse

I just dont understand a defenseman chasing the man at the point and leaving a forward to cover the slot. We really need a new defense coach and philosophy. 

stonehands78

/ldvn;poifd'psgn'psdn'psrj 'sreposerj gsp

bezukov

Is this even real??   LGRW.  Not fucking god!

bezukov

Sorry about what I said earlier DP.  

bigfrog

The Red Wings are eliminated. Washington scored in an open net.🤪

Cigar-Nurse

Hoe lee fook. Perron ties er again. 

rwbill

What a scrappy never give up team.  That couldnt get under from their mistakes often enough.

bigfrog

Washington wins. You have to give them credit for their finish.🤨

bezukov

Well it was a hell of a season gang.  

calquake

Silver Lining? Pens won't make playoffs either. 'Til next season reprobates.

bigfrogcalquake

I like that, but Bettman will wave his magic for Crybaby and the Slacks Hawks in the draft, as always.😝

Kate

Thank you to everyone! The Wings finished the season as winners. It should be an interesting playoff. See yall during the playoffs open posts. 
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

stonehands78

great season to build on

'til next season, gang

LGRW


rwbill

They did as much as they could the last week. So many unfrigginbelievable comeback goals and wins. Couldnt overcome the long losing streak but season much better than predicted.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Jobu and I wish you all a good summer....lol

LGRW!

Cigar-Nurse

Well we hit 90, but needed 92. Its been an exciting exhausting experience this year for sure. 
Will lurk about here for the playoffs , and draft with some of yall and of all you others, have a great and safe summer. Will see you in the fall. 

nctheo

Any tie on points that decides the last team getting into the playoffs deserves a play-in game.


The Caps' 91 points aren't worth more than the Red Wings' 91. You won't convince me otherwise.
