No Passengers Allowed

03/17/2024 at 5:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. Both teams are playing back to back tonight, so the Red Wings have to keep the momentum going. The entire fan base knows every game is a must win. It’s not going to be a walk in the park by any means, so, no passengers allowed.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Penguins. The puck is set to drop around 6:00 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 NHLN, SN-PIT, and SPOTRSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

 Hey there Kate. If the Wings want to make the playoffs, the Pens are a team they must beat. This next week will, IMO, make or break the Wings chances. L.G.R.W.

Katecalquake

You are right Quaker. Its been years since Ive had any emotional investment, but, damn. They pull you back in.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Picked the wrong season to stop sniffing glue

I purchased sling tv and the add on app for NHL Net and Im blacked out.  WTF.  I dont live in Detroit or Pittsburghs market.   Thanks NHL.

Evenin Bitches!

The Wings are behind two teams on a percentage basis, but its a nutroll.

Did anyone else find that broadcast crew yesterday very annoying?  I watched the replay when I got here where I was going and they were annoying. 

Gotta win to keep up with the Peloton of Suck.  

Good luck Bitches!

Hi all. A heads up as just before the game I played Pittsburgh two games in NHL24. I won the first game 6-2, and there were two Pittsburgh 5 on 3's against me. The penalties were 8 to 1 against me. I also won the second game 4-3, and again faced two Pittsburgh 5 on 3's. Th penalties were 7 to 2 against me. Just a possible forewarning on tonight's game.😠

Let's go boys!  We need a win as we're only a point ahead of WAS and they have a game in hand.  :-o

Kate

Come on! Its a hockey game.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Another pen PP, just like simulatiin and real history.

Bill_H

Jeeze...when we're at home the refs make calls against us and we're away...it's worse!  :-(

Bill_H

Seven years of this kind of luck gets to us.  We need to over-come!

rwbill

Damn, Wings could not get a handle on any of those rebounds. 

rwbill

Bounce bounce again. To the wrong guy.

poke and hope - they scored.. drink

Kate

No effing way! They looked like crap, and, Id pull Lyon. Not placing blame.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!!

rwbill

Damn he was wide open for that, 1-3 just like that.  Get oot of this period. 

dca

outshot 17-4

No offensive zone pressure

Wings still cant clear loose pucks and chip to opponents...

Wings defense still cant play a player behind their net....everyone looks like Gretzky with the Wings defenders.

Bill_H

I'm not impressed with these "veterans" when the going gets tough.  :-(

Just got here and see Lyon breaking the cardinal rule of goin with the hot goaltender. At this time of the year, ya dont mess with the hockey gods. Put Reimer back in and keep grinding. LGRW 

Bill_H

You know, 17-4 in shots is simply inexcusable.  We could be paying our D half of $21M and it's likely the shot count in this game would be 10-4.  :-)

calquake

I'm [ ] this close to bailing on the season. Like I said earlier, I believe, this next week may determine their fate and mine.

Kate

WTF? Covered the puck.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

1-4 Just disgusting. Good thing the Islanders lost today.🤪

dca

Fischer showing up when games start mattering.

dca

Ras with a terrible penalty well after the whistle and they score on the PP.


That's it for me.

Chet

this game is yet another depressing disaster. oot! 

nctheo

I don't know what the answer is, but the current configuration of this team is not it. Other negative thoughts rambling about in my mind right now, but will leave it there for now.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

PooBah is storming out of the house. 

Cigar-Nurse

Tried to stir up some good vibes with a Jets pizza pick up.  Alas not working. May as well enjoy  some nice weather on the deck before to the bottom drops oot to a frost tomorrow night. 

Kate

So Raymond is blatantly haulfooted down. Bullcrap!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Mickeys illustrates Raymond caught coasting again instead of covering the man in the slot. Way too much of this from him and others this season. 

RWHockey13

This teams defense is terrible. They should not be allowing 40 shots against. It is is called forechecking and backchecking dear Red Wing players.
