Send Them Packing

03/21/2024 at 6:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings understand that tonight’s game against the Islanders is a must win situation, as the playoffs are on the line for both teams. The Wings have to come out tough and dish it out all game long. Send them packing.

A little levity regarding Mo; “and his hair was perfect.”-Warren Zevon

Reimer has the net. Larkin is a game time decision. Walman is listed as DTD.

It’s the Islanders vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 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 ESPN+/NHLPP, MSGSN2, SPORTSNET+, and TVAS-D.

Hi Kate and Paul. The Red Wings had better start on time for a change tonight.😠

calquake

Hola Kate, Paul and assorted reprobates. Are the Wings playoff contenders or pretenders? We are aboot to find oot in short order. L.G.R.W.

Kate

The Islanders are the team to beat. Tonight.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Paul

Sprong, Holl, Berggren healthy scratches, Walman out with injury.

calquakePaul

Calling Kane, Fancy Feast, Fabbri, Perron and, in fact, the whole damn team. Where are you? Will you stand up and be counted? I'm pissed off and you damn well better be also. Play like you mean it.

bezukov

Our playoff chances come down to this game imo.   Send them away pointless.  

Send lawyers, guns and money. - Warren Zevon 

Bill_H

Let's leave those Islanders stranded!  LGRW.

Kate

Mo Seider has the best hair I have ever seen on any human being.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

PooBah in the House!

Thanks Kate and Paul

Cigar-Nurse

Dont know that slotting Edvinsson with the ghost is a good idea. 

bezukov

Gotta say I like Czarniks game about 678x more than I like Volenos.  

Kate

Whoa! Lucky.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Evenin Bitches! thanks for the LB.  The sun is way up still where I am so the 5 pm start time faked me oot.  Lets  finish off this PK!

FanDuel brings out some girl in skinny britches. 

bezukov

Gotta say.  I dont have to like it, but that was a good clean hit by Clutterbuck.  

rwbill

Maybe our PP can jump start the game for us. In past years I would just be happy if we finished it without giving up a goal. 

Did they say much aboot Larkin ?  Hopefully healthy enough to not risk aggravating reinjury. 

rwbill

Mick is in playoff mode, telling the guys not to retaliate and take the PP chance.

rwbill

Holy crap we needed the missed shot there. Wow. 

bigfrog

0-0 After one, but still outplayed. Lucky.😝

rwbill

Body by Seider.

Given the recent history, even up after 1 is probably a good thing. 

bezukov

Seider has been dealing out the pain tonight.  

bezukov

Perron fanned on the icing attempt.  🤷

Bill_H

Wow, the Wings spend a lot of time giving the puck away.  They just pass it to an Islander in the neutral or their D-zone.

bezukovBill_H

I think this is the biggest unaddressed problem with their game.  

Bill_H

Another prime scoring opportunity for #93 but we missed.

Kate

WTF! Bad, bad Reimer.

How? Get it back!

Play it off.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

No kidding? Weak call.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Chet

i haven't seen a goal that bad since...cloutier 2002?

Cigar-Nurse

Ah  merde. Shake it oof Reimer. Now a pk. That was a reasonable penalty to take. Kill er. 

bezukov

Czarnik gets choked slammed.  No call.  Nice.  

Cigar-Nurse

Copper with a greasy slam dunker. Now hold er. 

Cigar-Nurse

Larks says let me have one too. Way to go. 

Bill_H

What's going on?  It's good though.  :-)

Bill_H

I like how Edvinsson is being used on the PK.

Cigar-Nurse

Who are these guys? Winning puck battles and finishing checks like hungry teams do.  Keep er goin.  

RockyGibraltar

The smart play on Copps goal is the way he turned his body to protect the puck and get a clean shot on net. If he doesnt turn his body the Islander in the area stick checks him and he doesnt get a quality shot off. Small play. Smart play. Great play.

rwbill

I love Larkin getting the puck on the fly in the slot like that, aboot as sure a thing as weve seen in this club since the SC years. 

Bill_H

Notice how Edvinsson often gets the puck out of our zone when he gets possession in our zone?  I hope I don't have to listen to Lalonde talk about the things he did wrong in this game.  He's so much better than Maata and Gostisbehere?

bezukovBill_H

I think its complete bullshit that he publicly put Berggren, who is still a rookie, on blast.  Especially with the way the rest of the team was playing.  

Chet

reimer should tell the press after this game that he let that bad goal in on purpose so the team would wake up.

TheMeal

Dylan Larkin, 2023-24 Hart Trophy winner.

Cigar-Nurse

Copper x 2.  Keep on streaking. 

bezukov

Thats it boys.  Light the shit birds up.  

Kate

Kaner! DeBrincat is such a great teammate!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Chet

sorry NYI, flood gates appear to be open.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

DOH! missed the Copp goal.

Kane!

Drink again!

bezukov

WTF has to happen for the Wings to get a call in this game?

Bill_H

Wow - what a difference Larkin makes to this team.

Cigar-Nurse

Kaner joins the party. Save some of those for Trashville Saturday. 

Bill_H

Who was supposed to cover that open net?

Chet

hey wings, can we maybe shut this down now?

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

I think Edvinsson tipped that. He should know better

Bill_H

Jeeze. Refpucks at it and Wings getting loose.  Not a good combination.  Come on boys!

rwbill

Arent the chickens hatched yet?  I guess not.  One shot away from being a one shot game. 

Cigar-Nurse

Time for some Beach Boys shut em down. 

bezukov

Patrick Roy with the Jeff Blashill move.  

rwbill

Swing Little Cobra with alla your might, (shut em down).

Bill_H

They better pick it up.  A couple of ENGs would do nicely.

Bill_H

That's one.  Let's have another ENG just to spite Roy!

bezukov

Nice of the ref to throw us a bone now that the game is decided.  

bigfrog

6-3 Final. Need them for the long road trip coming up.😁

calquake

Contenders? Maybe. We'll see. Later reprobates.

Kate

WE WIN! HUGE! Yay!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Whew what a big win ahead of a brutal road trip, then they play the New York Rangers.  Jebus.

Cigar-Nurse

Good and well deserved win. Until Saturday, good night 19.
