Mathematically…

03/28/2024 at 7:00pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings managed to blow another yet another two important points, but, are still in contention mathematically. Yes, yes, I know we weren’t told there would be any math, and realistically we all know this will go down to the wire. Maybe when all is said and done, the Wings will squeeze into that last Wild Card spot. To paraphrase George Carlin, “The last winner.”

Reimer has the net tonight. No other changes to the lineup have been announced as of 1:00 PM.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Hurricanes. The puck is set to drop around 7:30 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!

Hola Katie, Paul and ever hopeful reprobates. The spinning teacups will soon be coming to a stop. Will they be in? Will they be on the ootside looking in? Who knows? Let's play hockey. L.G.R.W.

bezukov

Its an effed up game of duck duck goose Cal.  Thanks for the LB as always Kate!  LGRW!

bezukov

Dan Clearys career would be better served as a consultant on how to get five contract extensions after youre eight years past your prime.

rwbillbezukov

Thats funny, kind of!  Locker room presence.  And that one late goal against san jose in the playoffs.

Kate

Heya Quaker. Lets play hockey, indeed.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

calquake

If Sprong becomes the defensive player Lalonde wants, it will be at the

expense of his offense. Either way he loses. He is gone after the

season.

I posted this earlier. Change my mind

bezukovcalquake

Its obvious the team is through with him, and why would he resign after being benched like this?

rwbill

Evenin Bitches!  Last game Ill be watching from Central Standard time. 
As much as I hate the negative season is done talk it really is getting hard to ignore.  Maybe the caps and Philly will lose bigly and help keep us in to the back to back Montreal end of season games.  

Carolina is a seasoned and defensively sound team, and the Wings are not.  Which makes getting just 1 point seem like a big victory.  Blah.  

bezukovrwbill

Its still a close race with a good chunk of the season to go.  Theres still a lot that can go our way.  

rwbillbezukov

Yes .  RW need to get some points in the next very hard games though .

Kate

A rare Mickey on the road appearance. Good stuff.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kalamazoo Kid

Game is not on my ESPN+...anyone have a home feed?

rwbill

There has been some sort of illness circulating through the Red Wings locker room, maybe that is what Kane has. Too bad, I have really enjoyed him being with the wings.

calquakerwbill

Is there anyone who thinks he stays if Wings don't make the playoffs? My guess, he shuffles on off to Buffalo his boyhood home.

bezukovcalquake

Theres no way he signed here because of our cup chances.  I wont be surprised either way.  

bezukovrwbill

I hope Kane gets well.  But on the upside, maybe Cat will actually shoot the puck in his absence?

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Kane is ill  The flu is going thru the locker room.

Chet

so weird to see us playing carolina and w're the underdogs, even though it's been a few years now.

bezukovChet

The stink of being an expansion team takes a long time to wash off.  They still got it.  

rwbill

The older Svech.  For Detroit svetch isnt happening - a tip to Mean Girls.

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Blacked oot here 300 miles from the game site. Tried the two feeds unsuccessfully from my dinosaur iPad. Will just lurk here with yall. LGRW 

bezukovCigar-Nurse

Its really maddening how hard the NHL industrial complex makes it to watch all 82 games honestly.   

Kate

Wake the f**k up Wings!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Chet

this game is too much perimeter, too much sloppy passing.

bezukov

That was a head-up-your-ass-lazy icing by Copp right there.  

bezukov

Gostisbhere twice shot the puck up the boards to no one instead of finding a teammate.

calquake

Forecheck the Wings D hard and they will cough up the puck.

Cigar-Nursecalquake

Thats been the Wings MO since Barry Trotz was coaching Nashville oh 10 years ago. 

Chetcalquake

yes, and carolina will just stifle you. tough game. outshot 11-1, not great.

bezukov

No. 1 - That was a garbage call


No. 2 - Renaming it the Perron Box. 

Kate

A mad scramble and a hot potato. Thanks Mickey.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Take the draw for the period, kind of brutal. 

Cigar-Nurse

Tried those other 2 and swing and misses. Watching Torannah vs Caps with leaves up 2-1 in 2nd. Will need a penance for wanting them to win tonight lol. Help me oot Pope.  


calquake

Speaking of sex... I'm a 60 minute man, if you include apologies and excuses. :)

Cigar-Nurse

Why couldnt the green pepper practice archery?

Because it didnt habanero 

bezukov

When I go to a job interview, I think its a good idea to ask if they ever press charges.  

calquake

"Cleared but not out." If I had a nickle...

bezukov

Hello defense.  Play your position maybe?

rwbill

Somehow you leave Aho alone for a tap in.

Kate

No forecheck at all. And bam!

bezukovKate

Our forwards are just too passive.  Wont shoot.  Wont check.  Its no wonder theyre always chasing.  

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Drink up... they scored.

bigfrog

0-1 Unfortunately I am receiving the Carolina Brodcast.   😟

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

well.... keep drinking

rwbill

The last couple of weeks I felt more like I did in previous years like theres just no way The wings are going to score goal unless its just by accident much less two goals.

bigfrog

0-2 We know where this game is going now.😝

rwbill

Speaking of sex... I'm a 60 minute man, if you include apologies and excuses. :) 


You are what you eat, it affects your sex life. Thats why I stopped eating Minute rice. I switched to long grain.

akwingsfan

I am becoming convinced that newsie is afraid to coach in the playoffs.

bezukov

Im gonna change my nickname for DeBrincat to Bambi.  

Kate

Whatever adjustments that were made between periods netted 3 for the Canes. I think a new strategy is in order. Uh, fire someone? My knees are jerky😉☘

bezukovKate

As far as I can tell the only tool Uncle Fester has in his bag is naming names during his pressers.  Thats Tortorella light imo.  No wonder these guys wont play for him. 

rwbill

MoFo.  Reimer was way off balance, open 5 hole.

Paul

At least the Tigers are 1-0.

bigfrogPaul

I was going to post that Paul. May as well turn our attention to them now.😒

rwbillPaul

I meant to check earlier to see if they were playing. Im still not convinced Im going to invest in a MLB subscription lol.

bezukov

The incredible thing as bad as this game is they looked worse against AZ.  

Cigar-Nurse

On a brighter note, Torannah up 4-1 on the Caps  now with 16 minutes to go. 

Bill_H

I was hoping to watch and make no comments today.  Yuck, yech, phooey, ugh.  :-o

Cigar-Nurse

Torannah 5-1 with lil Bert scoring 2. 

RWHockey13

We all know the team is done for the season.  Move up some Yutes next season.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Well I am storming out of the house!

Next game.

rwbill

Well, theres really not anything I can say although Ill watch the game out.  I will be there for the next game, reprobates.

Bill_H

They played poorly in the 1st and ended up 0-0.  Played better in the 2nd and fell behind 0-4.  Played better in the 3rd and it looks like still 0-4.  Oh well.  Maybe next time...  :-)

bigfrog

0-4 Final. The Titanic is officially sunk.😜

Kate

Next game. Im going to go the distance. Thanks for hanging out folks.
