Three Games In

10/21/2022 at 8:00pm EDT

The Wings are three games into the season and I’d have to say, so far so good. We’re missing two top performers in Bert and Vrana, but oh well, that’s how it goes. It’s too early to make any judgment calls on this group, that for all intents and purposes, are still getting to know each other on and off the ice. That includes the coaching staff as well.
Let’s just say, it’s been fun and exciting to watch Red Wings games for a change and leave it at that for a few weeks.

Tonight’s match up is Wings vs Hawks in Chicago, “that wonderful town.” The puck drops at 8:30 PM and is broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra, and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit). Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+.

It’s a Live Blog!

Kate

Im not getting the Wings pregame. .?????🤔

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Thanks for starting us off Kate!  LGRW!

Calquakeold

This Hawks team is one the Wings should beat, even with a depleted lineup. L.G.R.W.

Kate

Hi there bez, and Quaker. Good to be here with yall. Thanks for partaking.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Calquakeold

On a side note before the game. Had my colonoscopy yesterday and I encourage all my brothers over 50 to speak with their doctors about having one. Do it for yourself. Do it for your loved ones.

Anyways, just before wheeling me in I told the doctor, "If you find any classified documents up there please turn them over to the proper authorities".  :)

KateCalquakeold

Im assuming everything came out okay 😄😄😄😄😄

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

CalquakeoldKate

Mostly before during the "Night of a 1000 Waterfalls".

Evenin Bitches !

Mick didnt wink tonight.  Opening night in the Chi, long lead-in time to make the introductions of a roster that Blackhawk fans wont recognize.😂😂😂  We know all aboat that .

bezukovrwbill

I just wish they didnt make him wear a suit.  He should just do the plaid carhardts full time. 

rwbill

Right on cal, hope you got back to eat something afterwords.  Im due for my 5 year in January.

Kate

Its the pre probe prep thats crappy.😉😄😄😄

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbillKate

Not sure if I shouldve given that one a down arrow instead of an up one.

rwbill

I get confused by the labels at the top of stories that point to previous and next stories.  Next means the one counting down from the top and is actually a previous story.  Previous means counting up to the top and is actually the next one going forward in time.

PooBah in the house!

Thanks Kate

Ya PooBah! Winky Mickey 😉

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Hola 19. Good to see yall for some Friday night hockey. LGRW 

Calquakeold

If Zadina doesn't stake a claim to be on this team now I'm afraid it may never come.

Cigar-NurseCalquakeold

Agreed. The cheese is molding away. 

CalquakeoldCigar-Nurse

Speaking of moldy cheese, if you ever get a chance to try a blue cheese called 'Humboldt Fog' try it. 
It's dee-lish. Especially stuffed in large green olives.

bezukovCalquakeold

I was just thinking.  I get why hes in the lineup tonight, but I dont get why Zadina.  The guy is invisible.  

Calquakeoldbezukov

If he's not careful, he's going to be labeled a 'Casper'.

bezukov

Jeeeesis.  Get it under control.  

rwbill

Long time without a break.

There it is.

Cigar-Nurse

It seemed like all the Chech players had bad games on Monday after Vrana left the team involuntarily.  

Cigar-Nurse

The Pope banks one off a skate. Way to go.  

bezukov

So does anyone know what happened with Vrana?   

Katebezukov

No. I do know shoulder surgery is a long recovery, and, can be, very, very painful.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Suter! Da Pope

Kate

Heya frog!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrogKate

Hi Kate, my posts some times appear, and then they don't.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Larkin... The Captain!

Cigar-Nurse

Yeah Larks. Keep shooting from ootside.  Thats Mrazeks weakness.   

Kate

Game management

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

The zebras are outta control.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Larkin is not looking good after that. 

Kate

Cheap shot Cawks on D-Boss.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Refs saw nothing.  Bah.  Hope hes ok.  

Calquakeold

Injuries are gonna derail the Wings if this keeps up.

Kate

What a little bitch slasher. Stoopid Cawk.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Afraid to think that Larkin may be gone the rest of the calendar year as painful as that looked.  Or at least until the second period.

Calquakeold

I really like Sunnys' contributions to the team.

rwbillCalquakeold

He should have a good game at the Flyers.  Because, 

Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Calquakeold

Intermission Entertainment: Why did King Kong climb the Empire State Building?


He couldn't fit in the elevator.

bezukov

Thats a relief to see Larkin back

rwbill

Cant believe Larkin is going to get back in this game.

Kate

Larkins back oot there. On the bench at least.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Calquakeold

I'm impressed by the 'structure' the Wings seem to employ.

bezukov

Penalty shot?  Give me a break.  

bezukov

Ned didnt even react to that shot.  

bigfrog

2-1 on a AA Penalty shot. Thanks refs.

Calquakeold

Oh, there he is. Kinda invisible so far.

bezukov

That penalty shot call the Hawks got, how does that get called when Larkin didnt get one the other night?  Frustrating.  

Cigar-Nurse

BS penalty shot violation. Refs trying to even up the game and see shitcago is inept offensively. 

rwbill

Cmon get the cameras on the action.

Cigar-Nurse

Kubilik with a beauty.  Need to teach that to Elmer. 



Kate

Correction. Kubalik!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Wings come up short handed on that?  WTF?

Kate

More game management.😠

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

That was some nice skating by Ras out of the zone there.

rwbill

Shut my Whore Mouth.

If the Wings hold on to win this game theyll be on pace for 143 points !  Seems doable.

Calquakeold

It's early but the Wings are far more entertaining this season.

rwbillCalquakeold

Yes, and I try to keep in mind that theyve played 3 of the worst teams in the league in their 4 games.

bezukov

Those retro jerseys are hot garbage. 

rwbill

Too bad we didnt get one more out of those last 3 minutes.  Lots of pressure.

Cigar-Nurse

Cool hand is  Luke Raymond. I think Either Cal or RW named him. 

Calquakeold

I don't wanna brag but I have a roomful of trophies and ribbons.

And every one of them says 'Participant'.

Cigar-Nurse

And no penalty shot for Erne. Up yours refs.  

Calquakeold

I'll say this, Zadina is trying but it's just not quite enough.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBahCalquakeold

Yep - I was really hoping a new coach would spark him and so far it hasn't worked. 

RyanVM

Gutsy move by Kurashev to be playing with a gold chain like that.

bezukov

Chicagos goalie keeps sticking his equipment out in front of the Wings when they skate by.  

Cigar-Nurse

Goalie allowed to throw his stick? Bull feathers 

bezukov

Jesus.   Throwing this thing away.  

Kate

Booooo! Booooooo!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

3-3 Short Handed. Looks like the Red Wings will blow this game.

rwbill

Short handed.  Sumbitch.  A 2-goal lead surrendered in the third period.  No Way! 

rwbill

Pretty much wide open game. Anything can happen.

rwbill

Icing.  sumbitch.  Trying to lose this in regulation?

RyanVMrwbill

Sure feels like it. They've been playing like garbage this period.

rwbill

2:50 left.  Pull the Goalie.  Sorry, its a habit.

Calquakeoldrwbill

It's okay, I like to 'pull my goalie' too. If you know what I mean. ;}

rwbillCalquakeold

I dont!  Can you explain, please?

Unless its something like polishing your bishop, then I understand.

rwbill

The traditional 

Lets Go Red Wings!

Dee-troit Sucks!

rwbill

LOL Perron really rubbed him out on the glass in the last second.

bezukov

OT is better than the Wings deserve after that third period.  God that was awful.  

Cigar-Nurse

OT. Now beat these schlubs and get the other point.  LGRW 

bezukov

Time to get Cool Hand on the board.  

bivbezukov

NHL may just award him a primary assist after that egregious turnover

rwbill

Sumbitch, awful turnover.  Gave up 2 2-goal leads.  Lucky to get 1 point.

Kate

Craptastic?.. they played poorly in the third.

Next time ..

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Oh Cool Hand and Ned. And that POS with the GWG? Merde. 

rwbill

6/8 points against 4 of the worst teams in the league.  

Calquakeold

At least they get a point. Later reprobates.

Cigar-Nurse

Until Sunday. Good night 19.
