Make Everyone Accountable

03/23/2024 at 4:30pm EDT

Good day and welcome to all. Dylan Larkin was back in the lineup on Thursday against the Islanders, everyone came to play, and the Red Wings got the win. Hopefully Larkin’s return will keep the fires burning, and make everyone accountable. Now, get out there today and take two more points. Yes, it’s another must win. Every single game is.

Lyon has the net today. Walman is still listed as day to day. Any other changes to the lineup haven’t been announced as of 2:00 PM.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Predators. The puck is set to drop around 5:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on ESPN+/NHLPP, BSSO, and SPORTSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

Watching the Preds broadcast and believe it or not they are worse at pushing gambling (through FanDuel).

But they are showing the outside of the arena and it looks like an awesome tailgate for a hockey game--but no where near Carolina.

Nashville has an Atlanta Braves opening day watch party in their arena...Detroit has a team that is owned by the same family and the Wings are on the road that day and I'm not aware of an opening day watch party for the White Sox road game...

bezukov

Howdy gang.   Another day, another must win.  Oooof.   LGRW!

dca

Nashville has a junker car the mascot is hitting with a sledge with the Wings and Sharks logo painted on it. Smashville at its finest there folks.

Kate

Mickey is in the building.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

calquakeKate

I would someday like to see a monument to Mickey at LCA for all he means to the Red Wings and Detroit.

Katecalquake

So much so. First Red Wing to score 50 goals, and all his contributions over the years.😉☘

calquake

Hola to all my reprobate fake internet friends. Very tough game. Just play well. L.G.R.W.

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Another tough road to hoe today. Had a chance to go to this game with a friend who bought tickets back in September and opted oot. Oh well,glad to be here with yall. LGRW 

bezukov

I appreciate that the Wings are stingy about retiring numbers.   But to echo you Cal and Kate, I would like to see more honoring the guys like Mickey, the Grind Line, Hank and Pav, etc.  

rwbill

Afternoon, Bitches !!    Rough looking PP.  Not a negative oriented fan but I have a bad feeling about the next six games starting this afternoon.  Tough, tough opposition. 

They could surprise me by playing and winning like they did earlier against the leagues best teams, but Im not allowing myself to think that way. 

bezukov

Wonder where Nashville got the catfish idea?   Poseurs.  

RockyGibraltar

Wings gotta get at least 1 point tonight. Caps won yesterday. Flyers and Islanders won today as well.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

PooBah in the House.

Thanks Kate and Paul

Cigar-Nurse

Watched the Carolina Washington game last night and the Caps played very well. Definitely a team to watch in the wild card race. 

bezukov

Pretty good first period on the road for the Wings.  Seems like they did a pretty good job keeping Nashville on the outside.  

calquake

On the road, tied after one, against a team that won 16(?) games? I'll take it.

rwbill

Wonder where Nashville got the catfish idea?

bezukov

lol Chairot.   Ive never understood how you can bank the puck off the boards and out of play.  

rwbill

Damn, Wings have had some bounces right around the net but cant get a stick on it.

bezukov

Seider almost kicked Forsbergs teeth out of his ass.  

Kate

Big Mo has finally had enough! Talk about a kick in the ass. Way to go!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Quite a few blows thrown in that fight, wow. 

Cigar-Nurse

Och di  liber. Mo is a two fisted fighter like the 19 are two fisted drinkers. Way to go kid. 

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

He did real well too.

Cigar-Nurse

Interesting stat that the Wings have better special teams numbers on the road than at home. 

dca

I just dont see the jump in the Wings game yet.


Its more of a Blash dont make any mistake and well keep it close to play for a point.

bezukovdca

Honestly, for a change, I am really pleased with the defensive discipline so far.  

rwbill

DAmn, usually when the Wings miss point blank chances the other team comes right down and scores. 

rwbill

Thats a soccer yellow card right there. 

Cigar-Nurse

Fabbri flips from a clip. Hope hes ok.  Make em pay. LGRW 

bezukov

Its time to notch one on these guys.   LGRW!

dca

How many times are the Wings going to allow a breakaway as a penalty expires before the coach makes a defenseman stay back? Every fing game.

bezukov

No score, in this setting, is good news.  

Cigar-Nursebezukov

Right you are.  Just dont understand why we have such better defensive support with the captain in the lineup. 

bigfrog

0-0 After two. So far so good, I guess. 😊

rwbill

I feel well need to kill a couple of penalties in this period. 

rwbill

Not much space for the Wings today, they are all up in their bidness.

Feels like joy or pisser kind of game on a bad bounce or freak goal.

RockyGibraltar

Wings with only 3 shots this period.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

They need to get Rasmussen in front of the net for a garbage goal

Kate

Ugh! Communication breakdown.

Get it back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Knock somebody on their ass rather than stand around

rwbill

Yeah that was a pisser.  Skirmish goal. 

Cigar-Nurse

Too much time in our zone bites us in the arse. 

bezukov

I forgot how obnoxious their fans are.  

RWHockey13

Terrible game by DeBrincat. This team still owes Larkin an apology for not showing up to those many games while he was out.

RWHockey13

They cannot win a face off against Nashville.

RWHockey13

Red Wings star of the game:

Edvinsson.

dca

And that is why you dont play that way with this group

bezukov

Sucks to get shutout.  Nonetheless a superb road game considering.   

Kate

Bummer. Next game folks.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Tough loss for no points.  Mulitple times puck bounced over the stick when a rebound was right there. 

RWHockey13

Onto more losses as schedule just starts getting tougher. Look forward to the draft.

calquake

I consider it an acceptable loss. If they play this way the rest of the trip I'll be satisfied. Later reprobates.

RockyGibraltar

Those guys are good. Theyve got another gear (both offensively and defensively) that we dont have yet.

Cigar-Nurse

Deserved a point there,but not to be. Good effort though. 

20 minutes to the Big 10 championship game between Sparty and the wolves. 

Have a great rest o the weekend 19. 

RWHockey13

Coach should have played Sprong, but what are you going to do.
