No Expectations

03/30/2024 at 12:00pm EDT

Good day and welcome to all. There are no expectations going into today’s game against the Panthers.

"This isn't throw tables, bang water bottles (time)," Lalonde said.

Seriously? When is the right time?

Lyon has the net today. Any other changes to the lineup are still being decided as of 9:30 AM.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Panthers. The puck is set to drop around 12:30 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra, and on the Red Wings Radio Network, WWJ (950 in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on NHLN, BSFL, and SPORTSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

Hola to all. We got 10-12 inches of snow last night so I may be in and oot and lurking. Hope for a win, prepare for a loss. L.G.R.W.

Katecalquake

Good morning Quaker. Spring time in the mountains. Dont overdo it oot there.😉☘

calquakeKate

Did aboot half, will finish later. I don't mind the snow, it's the plow putting a three foot berm in front of my driveway.

StargateSG1

Oh, crap, Larkin already down, half a minute in

Kate

F**k! It! Larkin hit by a puck. Jeebuz!

Cigar-NurseKate

Of course it was a Petry shot. He needs to go away. 

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Will be here for a little while with Easter things to do. 

Hopefully Larks just got a stinger there. LGRW 

rwbill

Afternoon/morning Bitches!

What a crap start, Larkin takes one off the bone.

rwbill

Good no call they say, probably so, but Raymond did take a slash to the leg.  Theyve called penalties for less than that. 

akwingsfan

Besides when is the right time question. I want to know has newsy even tried to kick a chair yet?

Kate

D-Boss is back on the bench, looks to be grimacing a bit.😉☘

Cigar-Nurse

Jebus. Ive seen better 3 on 2 in the beer league than the Wings. And these are veterans who have played 73 games this season. 

dca

Larkin not able to get another second on his shift = real bad news

bezukov

Whats up gang.  I see the score.  Am I hallucinating?

Cigar-Nurse

Way to go Robbie. Should have had another one there. Keep er grinding. 

rwbill

Another PP coming up.  Need another 4 goals. 

Paul

dca

Seider out of position and easy clear on the power play

Also will not play position when power play endinghow many times is it going to take for the Wings to stop getting burned by the man coming out of the box?

bezukov

Im watching the game on NHL Net/Floridas feed.  Even THEY are dragging Petry right now.  

rwbill

Florida with a number of isolated chances that can bounce in when youre having one of those days, but theyre off the board so far.  Ill take it.  Any kind of help or breaks are needed. 

Kate

NHLN broadcast is okay. Hradek is pretty impartial.

dca

Seider with terrible play to start the period leads to a Barkov one on none at the net

dca

Ghost with another turnover leading to a good chance

bezukov

Gost needs to go.  Fucking awful.  Who the hell throws a no look pass at his own net?

dca

Finally Seider plays the body (after turning over the puck)

calquake

Seider with terrible play to start the period leads to a Barkov one on none at the net

Ghost with another turnover leading to a good chance

I'm sensing a pattern here.

dca

Big save against DeBrincat breakaway

dcadca

2nd breakaway today (Raymond blew a tire and didnt get a decent shot)

bezukov

Cat with a break away and you know he isnt gonna score before he even shoots.  

rwbill

Debrincat couldnt get enough lift on it.  Crap. 

rwbill

Lots of chaos in the Detroit zone.  Wont end well. SWM.

rwbill

Good for Lyon to hold on to the puck, Detroit couldnt seem to get possession. 

dca

Seider again with a bone headed play


delay of game on an easy clear

bezukovdca

In fairness, I didnt have a backhand clearing attempt, all the way in the corner of the dasher careening backwards over the glass on my bingo card.  Shit happens.  

Katebezukov

He had to take the pressure off somehow. Just trying to get it out of the zone. 

rwbill

Jebus, Larkins even out there on the PK.  

bezukovrwbill

Must be nice to have to play hurt because you know that your team will just quit without you.  

dcabezukov

It must be a nerve and the froze it (or more accurately the neurotransmitters/receptors from being fired) with a shot

dca

Thats going to be a game suspension on Perron

rwbill

If we could get a pp goal here after being pinned in our own end all period what a steal.

bezukov

Larkin* passes to a teammate covered by two people.

dca

Passes in the skates instead of on the stick and that would have been a ppg

dcadca

Another one a shift later as Seider almost cost them a shorthanded goal

bigfrog

Still 1-0 after two thanks to Lyon.😒

rwbill

SWM maybe this is that steal game they desperately need to open the crack in the door a little wider.

RockyGibraltar

Hey everyone. Lurking today. Too much going on for a Saturday afternoon game. Its kinda humorous not seeing any of the game but seeing comments that range from negative to positive to meh 🤣

dca

It s depressing to look out the windows and see grey outside and  then see a shot of outside South Florida 

bezukovdca

I guess one advantage of living in Blue Jacket territory is that its partly cloudy and approaching 70 degrees today. 

rwbill

Related, sort of, Michigan had a superb 3rd period last night vs North Dakota with 3 goals.  They really put their skating to use and were swarming and beating ND to every loose puck.  Next up, Sparty, a somewhat lucky OT winner vs the WMU Broncos, for a trip to the Frozen Four.

The NCAA did a great job slotting 3 Michigan teams in the same bracket in a tiny 2500 venue in NW St Louis. 

dca

Seider slow to a puck and Verheghe creates a chance

dca

Why is Maatta the first one in on a puck in the offensive zone.

Another turnover in the defensive zone.


Lyon saving the day today 

dca

Cross ice at center ice when dmen going the opposite way

they are trying to lose this game. Forwards are not taking the 3rd rusher

rwbill

Sweet Sassy Molassy the Wings compound one lazy or panicked pass onto another. Seems like only a matter of time until SWM.

bezukov

Jesus.  He broke his stick over Larkin.  LGRW!

dca

How many times out of the box is going to kill this team


game after game 

dca

Seider turns it over again and leads to incredible chance. 

Now out

bezukov

So are the refs gonna tell Eckblad to cool or we just gonna wait until he injures someone?  

bigfrog

Score as it should be as they are being outplayed as usual.😜

Kate

Thats called guts and heart.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Win or lose, this is a stolen game.  And a great road game against a very tough team.  Theres plenty of notes of course, but happy to still be here.  

rwbill

At least one point in Florida is a positive in most circumstances.  I expected zero.

Kate

E.J. Hradek and company has been a refreshing break from Mickey and Ken. Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt trade them for anything. Just sayin..

bezukovKate

Im actually impressed.   Theyve been making very cogent points about the Red Wings.  

bezukov

I didnt have money on a shootout. 😂

bezukov

Also that power play had all the quality of baby vomit.  

Kate

Skills competition.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Ah hell.  It was an ugly game, but a gutsy game for the Wings.
