Points, Points, Points

Good day and welcome to everyone. As suggested above it’s all about piling up the points, or as Mickey would say, “Making hay while the sun shines.” Since it’s a matinee game, I think it’s appropriate to quote him. The Panthers are a Divisional opponent which comes with a bit more urgency, because the Eastern Conference is so tight. No need to blather on.

Lyon has the net today. No other changes to the lineup have been announced.

It’s the Panthers vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 3:00 PM and will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN+, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1(The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on SPORTSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

Howdy Kate. It's a great day for a national, matinee, hockey game. L.G.R.W.

Hola 19. Good to be here for another weekend day game. Will be here in and oot today with family dropping in. LGRW 

KateCigar-Nurse

Heya CN. Glad you will be joining in if only occasionally. Enjoy your family.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

I think the game is delayed until 3:20 because basketball.

calquakeKate

I don't get basketball. Not a fan.

I hate it. Always interrupting hockey. People talking about their bracket. Who cares.  

bigfrog

Him Kate and everyone. It will be a tough one today. Should have won on Thursday.🤔

Katebigfrog

Hi frog. Some bad luck and officiating cost us, but, we lost because we werent good enough that night. Its another day to be good enough. No jink.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Bill_H

We need our D playing well and Larkin and Seider to have a good shutdown games against FLA's top two lines.  Our bottom 6 should be able to outplay their bottom 6 and get us some goals and a win!  LGRW.  :-)

Bill_H

Were we about to have a 3 on 1 until D'Cat gave the puck away just above the blue line?

Kate

Finally! Three blind mice with stripes. Bout time.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

This is a game where the pass first instinct is gonna kill us.

Thanks Kate and Paul


posting on the iphone. I had trouble logging in while in phone mode but it worked fine when I switched to desktop mode.

Whats up Poobah?  Youre the first person to post in a long stretch.  Had me wondering if there was something wrong.  

Royal Grand Exalted PooBahbezukov

Watching on my TV

today so no pictures today. Too much hassle to post pics from the phone.

Going to be a long physical game today and I expect fights and injuries today because Cousins and Duhchuck

Cigar-NurseRoyal Grand Exalted PooBah

Saw a replay the other day with Cousins hit and laying on the ice like he was shot. When he saw no one was paying not attention to him, he gets up to join in the scrum. Piece of shite he is. 

calquake

A ham sandwich walks into a bar and sits down. The bartender looks up and says, "Sorry, we don't serve food here."

Kate

WTH on the interference again? No call bullshit.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Florida using the Pittsburgh strategy.  

Kate

Damn. It.

Get some smelling salts. Whatever it takes.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Bill_H

In games like these we "must" win the special teams battles.  We're not doing too well on our PP (0-3).  :-(

bezukov

Bs call for chariot.   Hes supposed to get cross checked after a game and just ignore it?   The dumbchucks are dirtbags.  All the way down to their family dog.  

Royal Grand Exalted PooBahbezukov

The Wings have to go do dirty stuff to Duhchuk first and let him get caught retaliating instead of the way its going now. Should have been an extra unsportsmanlike penalty to Duhchuk since it was right after the goal. 

Cigar-Nurse

These panthers are definitely put together for the playoffs. Must figure a chink in their armor. We need more speed. 

KateCigar-Nurse

I agree. Unlike Messier, I could say they remind me the Wings in the mid 90s. Not the Broad Street Bullies. But thats just me.

Cigar-NurseKate

I think we were too soft until we brought in Shanny along with a few others for grittiness Kate. 

Cigar-Nurse

Kaner got outguessed by Bob goin 5 hole instead of high glove. 

bezukov

The Wings and the Panthers are rivals? Interesting.   Did I miss the memo?

bezukov

We know the wings can overcome an 0-2 deficit.  But they have to play their game and not floridas.  

bigfrog

0-2 After two. Florida is like an Anaconda slowly squeezing the life out of the Red Wings today.😏

bezukovbigfrog

The wings have been so much fun to watch in 2024.  Its easy to forget theyre a wild card team for a reason.  Its not bad for the wings to have days like today.  These are the games you have to win to get a Stanley.  

bigfrog

As I stated previously I was at Thursday's game, and was hoping for a win. If the Red Wings lose today, I see an extended losing streak with a 4 game road trip coming up.🧐

Cigar-Nurse

Both goals were gratuitous you  ESPN numskulls. No fault to Lyon on either. This is where great teams capitalize on the breaks. 

Kate

Okay Red Wings. Less pass. More shoot.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Bill_H

At 5 on 5 we're doing pretty well.  22-27 CF, 10-8 SF, 8-11 SCF, and 4-1 HDCF.  With special teams on the ice (mostly our PP), we're 11-21 CF, 5-13 SF, 3-13 SCF, and 1-7 HDCF.  We are stinking up the place with our special teams on the ice.  We're playing right into FLA's hands getting into special teams situations with them.  Come on boys, let's play smart and hard.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Maybe the Griffs can do something today. On TV at 7 tonight. WSXP. 

bigfrog

0-3 Put a lid on this stinker. 0-2 in their last two games.😏

Cigar-Nurse

Panthers playing what youre supposed to do with a 2 goal lead adding to it. Learn from it boys.  

Kate

Larkin doesnt need any haymakers to the noggin. Thats for sure.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Wings are being rope a doped right now. 

calquake

great teams capitalize on the breaks


Noted for truth.

bezukov

Another well reffed game.  Thanks NHL.  

bezukov

A four minute power play after that last scrum.  Im still scratching my head.  

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Hit um with your purse Seider!

RWHockey13

Wings are a better team this season and fun to watch. Playoff material? Hard to say. Can they move Holl and if it is true that Berggren did not accept the Red Wings contract and wants to move onward... for a forward or better D? I am not sure. We'll see soon enough perhaps?

bezukov

Another scrum. I predict a four minute 5 on 3 for Florida. 

Kate

Everyone was outplayed today. See yall Wednesday. 

calquake

Got to be better defensively. Later reprobates.
