Make It Go Your Way

03/16/2024 at 12:00pm EDT

Good day and welcome to everyone. Red Wings fans do not want to hear one more player, coach, or anyone connected to this team say, “It’s just not going our way.” Stop with this nonsense, and make it go your way, because that’s what winners do. Losers make excuses.

The projected lineup has Reimer in goal, and, Berggren as scratched.

It’s the Sabers vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 12:30 ET 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 NHLN, MSG-B, and SPORTSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

This is it for me. Two more losses this weekend and my season is over. You know who (potentially) has nine game losing streaks? Losers, that's who. I'm too old for this shite.

Katecalquake

I get your drift, my friend. Were all wasting valuable time which is a very precious commodity for members of Club 70.😉☘

Paulcalquake

Howdy back and I am fully recovered.  The meds hung around longer than I thought so I thought it was best yesterday to lay low instead of babbling.

Never did I think in mid-March the Wings would be depending on Reimer to win a game.

KatePaul

Eggs Benedict. With crab instead. Its funny how a few days of limited fasting can make one feel like they havent had a morsel to eat in a long time.. Im grateful you are on the mend, Paul.

Kate

Good morning Quaker! Is your morning coffee Irish, Caribbean, Scottish, or all of the above, with a Windex chaser?😉☘

calquake

Hmm... Lost my original comment. I hope that's not a harbinger of things to come for today's game.

Paulcalquake

I saw a double post, deleted the 2nd, but first one is still there, unless you are talking about another comment.

Morning, Bitches. 
Well said Kate.  They have to plug and work hard to earn breaks.  Im flying into Mexican air space and dont know how much I can catch live, but will be here in spirits, maybe mezcal.

The once separated playoff group has once again degenerated back into a loose gaggle of true Peloton of Suck for a hectic sprint down the last 15 games. In theory the Wings chance is as good as anyone but not with the trend they have put on the ice. 

rwbill

Not any Eastern action last night, but a true sabado gigante today of 14 games.

damndogrevenge

Happy Saturday all. Hi kate.


Working in the yard listening to the game.

bigfrog

Hi all. Does the losing streak end today?😒

Katebigfrog

Hi frog. Everything, fingers, toes, arm, legs, are all crossed.😉

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Ozzie punched the siren. I loves me some Ozzie!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Getting to make or break it time.  Time to get goin. LGRW 

Kate

Post! Then good luck!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

0-1 You could see it coming. Again.😡

Cigar-Nurse

Wings passes missing like you would expect in an exhibition game. Not a game in March with no rookies in the lineup. 

calquake

Impressed with the fire the Wings have shown so far? Yeah, me neither. 

Katecalquake

You are right. I dont see any real urgency, hitting, you know, hockey. Its like a team of red Easter Peeps. Soft sugary marshmallows. Try a little bitterness.😉

calquakeKate

The lack of physicality has led to this losing streak. Too many teams look at the Wings as a pushover. Forecheck the Wing defenders hard and they crumble.

RockyGibraltar

Islanders up 1-0 after 1 period in their game against the Sens.

dca

Lets be honest it should be a 3-0 game with those posts and crossbars helping--big time.

dca

Detroit just can't win the puck out of a board battle today...


bad penalty to take.

damndogrevenge

Waaaa fuckin whoooi!!!!!

Fischer!! King

Cigar-Nurse

King Fisch with a greasy un.  Way to go. 

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Fischer!

42 game goaless... jees.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

I smell a scrap incoming.

Kate

HITF was that not interference? I call bullshit.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

dca

Kane bails out Ghosts miss of an open net.

Cigar-Nurse

Finally Kaner. With a grinding assist from Compher. 

Paul

Ansar Khan noted first Detroit lead since March 6th, when up 2-1 in the first in Denver.

dca

Kane at the end of the period sticking up for a teammate on a hit from behind. When the skill guy gets in the face of the forward that shows what the Wings team is lacking. Playoff snarl.

Kate

Kaner pushing a Saber in the corner there. Im glad hes more engaged as he heals.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-NurseKate

Someones got to do it. Him and Charot are the only ones while the others are looking for 4 leaf clovers for St Patties day tomorrow. Hope Stevie is watching this. 

dca

Too many Wings gently taking opponents in the boards...it's playoff times...drive them through the boards.

Kate

Too sloppy right now. Pick it up! Right now!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

dca

Big goal.


Uncle Fester kept him out of the last game.

Cigar-Nurse

Spronger gives us a little breathing room.  Way to go. 

Kate

The Wings have to desperately keep after the Sabers.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

I dont want to hear, holding on. I want to hear pressure on the Sabers.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

No laying back. Push the Sabers out!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Okay. Stop being a bunch of p**sies.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

HUGE lucky break. Dont f**k it up.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Raymond with the empty netter

calquake

Well, that's one in a row. Maybe I'll stick around. Later reprobates.

Katecalquake

Maybe you will is right. 😉☘

Lets Stay Quaker!!!!!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Feels good to get this win. Now for another tomorrow

Kate

There is no excuse whatsoever for the Wings to not be in the Sabers end of the ice. Letting them swarm Reimer is just wrong.

Cigar-Nurse

Hoary crap.  Were finally gonna win one.  Still much work to do to right the ship.  

Until tomorrow, good afternoon 19.
