Good evening and welcome to all. The Wings are coming into tonight’s game after a hard fought win against the Lightning, but, that was four days ago, and all 19 of us expect to see an even better game/effort tonight. There’s not much else to say about tonight’s game against the Rangers, except that it is an absolute must win if the Red Wings want to stay in it down the final stretch.
Lyon is in goal. Sprong is in. Rasmussen is out(upper body), Maatta is a healthy scratch. No other changes to the lineup have been announced.
It’s the Rangers vs the Red Wings in an Original Six matchup. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on ESPN+/NHLPP, MSGSN, SPORTSNET+, and TVAS.
It’s a Live Blog!
Evenin Bitches!
Thanks Kate for setting up the LB and Birthday Boy for the whole legendary blog!
Wings handed TB their only defeat in recent weeks and will need a playoff-like concentrated defensive effort to get 2 points tonight against the NHLs leading team.
Maybe the Wings are snapping out of it, and for sure need excellent game-stealing goal tending.
5 teams in a dead heat, with the Wings with the tiebreaker short stick, or long pole, or whichever means bad.
The Wings can only control how they respond for the next 7 games. The rest will depend on luck or whatever its called😉☘
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Hi Kate. It won't be easy.🤔

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
poopy goal
Jesus. That was lame with a capital L.
0-1 Bad goal on a screen.🤨
Boooo!
Get it back!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
//sigh//
Oh holy crap youve got to be kidding me. Absent minded pass and poor goal tending.
Hard to blame Lyon for being caught off guard. That was an epically bad turnover.
Hola 19. Glad to be here with yall on my first day back to work in 6 weeks. Another big game here tonight. Need to win em all and let the others sort it oot. LGRW.
PS Happy birthday PK. Stolat my friend.
Cannot allow those kind.😡
Copper!
GOAL!
1-1 Copp.😁
if Lark's didn't go in, Copp's did
1-1
Czarnik is so good defensively, I heard.. Terrible turn over.
And Happy Birthday Paul
Quick is, and then he wasn't!
Copp!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Ok overcame the turnover. New start now, dont hand it to them.
Copp blows er through a generous 5 hole. Way to go. Get streaking.
Copp!
Game tying
Stoney! Happy Birthday(?) young man!!
YUP, thanks! much. Me and the Emperor share a blessed day of birth.
Happy birthday!
tanx!
AWESOME!!
Yes, that is unfortunate, because one reason Czarnik was in and not Sprong was because of his solid Smart play. Oh well, it happens. Even up now.
Awesome to see Fabbri there. Sticking up for each other is one of the things these guys have been missing.
Jebus, a PK out of that.
Call it what you want, that was an instigator call. And it was total bs.
FanDuel B's in B's.
Skinny Bs in Bs.
Good Lord, flipped a turnover right in the prime scoring area. We lucked out there.
Two weak penalties. Its gonna be that kind of game.
pp ... make it worthwhile, boyz
but nothing on the crosscheck???
Happy Birthday Stoney! My hope for you is the best health, and, many more years ahead. Im glad youre spending your BD with all of us.😉☘
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
It only broke 1 rib, needs 2 ribs for 2 minutes
Mickey calling oot the refs as he should.
Hey CN.😉☘
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
I cant believe Trouba is that old already. How did he age so quickly over the past 10 years and I didnt?
Fex sake Carolina. Do your job.
Mein Gott. Cool Hand getting man handled in the slot x 2. Make em pay young man.
FFS!
Win face offs. Jesus.
1-2 Lost faceoff.🤨
arrrrrrrrrrrrgh
Booooo!
Get it back!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
FFS Bud Lynch goal.
Gave up two easy goals. 😡
Well. The first 18:30 was a decent effort.
1-2 After one, and Washington is up 2-0. Beginning of the end?😠
Merde. Thats a kick in the nads in the last minute. Must bear down in our zone.
Not gonna qualify for playoffs this year. Does anyone think the Wings are going to win 4 or 5 out of next 7 games? I don't.
As I stated calquake. and predicted last fall they will miss the playoffs this season.😏
Most of us thought that, I just wish SY actually sold at the TDL, might have gotten some assets and cleared the crowding for next season
I do Cal....
I have faith! Not in the ever loving Great Rebuilder, but in Kane, Cat, and Larks. The other Lads just need to perform.
LGRW !!!!!
Another year to keep the kids down on the farm.
Not bad. But they do make those critical mistakes; e.g. giving up a goal with 29 seconds left in a period. Come on boys. LGRW!
nice
persistence
2-2
2-2 Compher.😄
J.T.!
Bingo BangOHHH!
GOAL! Nice work boys! (For christs sake dont give anymore away.)
Compher!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Compher!
Too much ice for NY on the last two trips to the dzone.
Lyon!
detroit is having a far from perfect game, but it's still theirs for the taking. not a bad spot at all.
Whew! Oh boy is right Mickey.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Mick has been getting a little freeer with his critiques! Olde age I supposed... our filters start to decline! ;-)
i have zero problems with petry taking that penalty.
Thats a penalty but no call on the one on Raymond?
NOW they be a calling crosschecks!!
Time for a shorty....
These Refs suck so hard
Why are NHL refs this bad?
Beginning of the end?😠
this was written a month ago, but theyre still here.
Yea. This thing is still way up for grabs. I dont buy the end times talk at all.
2 goals by the 5 M paid guys. Need some from the 7 M guys now. LGRW
If you didnt know anything about this team and watched them over the last 20 games, youd be wondering my Cat isnt on the bubble for being on the bench.
Yep. If he doesnt have an upper body injury, he should be playing on a 3rd of 4th line.
Lyon!! Saving BAcon on a net front giveaway....
fortunate
Lyon! Big time!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Do the coaches just not run these guys through defensive drills? Its honestly incredible to me how bad they are on D.
Raymond getting even!
Knock um on his ass!
LGRW! Take the lead!
larks ... close
larks ... GOAL
LFGRW!
Larks!
3-2 Larkin.😄
DYLAN!!!!
Quick once, not twice!!
LGRW !!!!!
D-Boss!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Larkin nails the second chance!
Larkin!
fast furious
Jesus Christ. Make this stop.
give a poop, take a poop
3-3 Didn't last long.😡
Crap!
Get it back!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
SPRONG just in no man's land. woof.
Nice goal by Larks....
And tied once again. Czarnik lost his man there.
- You cant give up three goals. Because if you give up three, you have to score 4 to win. And scoring four in this league is difficult. - The immortal Mike Babcock.
The man might be an HR nightmare, but he wasnt wrong there.
Yeah, he knew quite a bit, but apparently is somewhat of an ass.
For all of our defensive lapses tonight, NY has been full of them too.
Well, if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that is not an oncoming train, its that Detroit is still making lots of chances. Theyre just giving up a lot as well.
veleno's looked OK this period.
Guys gotta stop passing up chances to shoot.
Said this before and I'll say it again, Walman can't play D.
That's why him and Ghost are both -2.
This isn't a surprise they're both -2.
Edv has already surpassed maata and is now permanent, Walman needs a 3rd pair Defensive line mate. Because that's where Walman belongs, 3rd pair.
😡 gotta want it, boyz
Hope you have had a great birthday Stoney.
thanks! (would appreciate a Red Wing win)
I have my complaints, but looking down on this game from 30,000 feet, a tie looks pretty good right now.
Would really love two points, but if they can get one against the leagues best team who is playing really well right now then thats not a bad set up for the final six games. Which include several head to head that they have to win.
Last week, I pegged the Wings chances on the last six games of the season. That excluded tonight. Since then, they grabbed four points from the best the league has to offer. Not bad. The final leg of the season is against teams they can hang with. I still like their chances.
The Wings have beaten the hottest team in the Atlantic last game. They can do er again tonight if they wanna. LGRW
Much better 2nd, but I wish they'd quit making bone-headed mistakes that cost them. But, I guess, they're fighting to make the playoffs not playing in the Stanley Cup Finals. :-)
Yeah, they cant seem to shake that tendency. Think we really have to have outstanding goaltending to cover up some boneheaded mistakes.
Gotta say I like Trevor as the pregame/intermission/post game host so much more than Keating.
SWM Ken!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
I love Ken, but he has a hall of fame WM.
Haha
Edvinsson tapping for the puck, i like that.
Will be glad to see what Big Ed can do offensively next year when they take his end of year play the simple game training wheels oof.
Crap too bad Larkin couldnt saucer it over the stick to Edvinsson.
Jesus Perron. Right on time.
Can't argue with that comment!
Perron with another untimely penalty. Kill er.
3-4 Thanks Ref.😡
predictable ...
Boooooo!
Get it back!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Too bad, with so many veterans, the team is really mistake prone. :-(
This is one of those basketball-time-out times I was taking about on Monday. Fester needs to get these guys to settle down.
Figures. Stupid penalty bites us. Get er back.
Lyon with the "no Goal for You" grin
Jeeze, the Wings have given up 4 High-Danger Chances so far in the 3rd. When we generate zero that is a recipe for losing.
Flyers lost, Caps tied late. I think Detroit can score goal, but I dont know if they can keep the puck out of their own damn net.
now or never?
LGRW! Get it back boys!
Do THIS!!
Well darn, you know whats next, empty net time.
If I were Blash, I would have pulled the goalie five minutes ago.
no doubt, they need to grab at least a point here.
No place for a nervous person...
Whew!😉☘
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
3-4 Final.😡
g'nite, gang
LGRW
Well, considering the other losses. We get a pass.
Tonights a shame. One less and wed have points. Maybe a win.
Later gang.
I figured this game as a loss. At least Philly and the Caps both lost.😄
GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH !
Kane standing alone and they are working the set shot on the other side? WTAF!
Bummer.😖
On the doorstep, cant knock it in. Cant overcome some dumb plays.
As Forest says, stupid is what stupid does. Should learn er by game 75.
Good nite all!!
Good effort, bad officiating, and poor judgement decisions lead to a costly loss. Fortunately, the other contenders lost also. Until Sunday, good night 19. Sorry we couldnt get ya a win PK and Stoney.
