We’re All Still Here

04/13/2024 at 6:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to everyone. With three games left including tonight, the Red Wings will faceoff against two Original Six teams to end the season starting in Toronto tonight, ending with a home and home against Montreal, and we’re all still here to see it through. Thanks 19, Wingaholics all. No known cure.

Reimer is in goal. Ras and Copp are out. I think Walman is sitting. No other changes to the lineup have been announced.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Maple Leafs in an Original Six matchup. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast/simulcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra and TV20 WMYD in Detroit, and on the Red Wings Radio Network WWJ Newsradio (950 AM in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on ESPN+/NHLPP, CBC, SPORTSNET+, and SCRIPPS.

It’s a Live Blog!

Paul

BSD PSA,

Catch pregame on Bally Sports Detroit Extra. Once Tigers LIVE postgame concludes, the Red Wings game will be on both Bally Sports channels.

Kate

Ozzie and Mickey York tonight in the pregame.

Hi Paul and Kate. Again not expecting much tonight. Hope I'm wrong.😑

Howdy 19. Well were winding em down and still have an outside chance of post season play instead of elimination in February. This is just about what I expected in October 86-88 points. 

Covering Mathews like a brick wall is the game plan with his mates setting him up as much as possible in his quest for 70 goals. Count on plenty of pp for Torannah too. Wake up the Cat and get home oot of the litter box and scoring these last 3 games. LGRW 

stonehands78

never, never, never give up 

... LGRW

Kate

Booooo!

Get er back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Too easy. 

Fancy feast scores. Keep er goin kid. 

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Shock the Cat and wake him up!

rwbill

Toronto looking as vulnerable as detroit, and thats saying a lot.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

The left tower of DOOM!  Edvinsson!

Cigar-Nurse

Big Ed with a beautiful one timer. Way to go. 

rwbill

Like to see 1 or 3 more goals this period while Toronto is still looking disinterested.

rwbill

Finally a rebound goes right to our stick!  If wed had a couple of those bounces vs Washington wed won that one.

rwbill

Like to see 1 or 3 more goals this period while Toronto is still looking disinterested.


Well that was 2, so Ill take that !

Samsonov on the take for a couple of pizzas, possibly.

Kate

Im pleasantly surprised. More like shocked.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

Caps up on the Bolts 3-2 after scoring on a Pittsburgh 5 on 3.😡

damndogrevenge

That Edvinsson goal was a thing of beauty. He made that happen from beginning to end.

rwbill

Capitals take a 3-2 lead in the third, Penguins coming up. 

Paul

I had a gummy right before puck drop to deal with a bit of pain, someone tell me I am not hallucinating.

KatePaul

Good one Paul. No hallucinations either.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Enjoyed by dinner muchly with the Cat x 2 and Perron goals. Leaves playing like just start the playoffs already. Its been awhile since we had that luxury. Sigh. 

bigfrog

The Caps are going to win. The Red Wings need these two points for sure now.🤨

Kate

No matter the score, the Wings have to add to their lead. Keep after the Leafs.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

TreKronor

Something tells me Smasonov will not be starting the 2nd.

Bill_H

They're playing well.  LGRW!  Too bad WAS is winning (how do they win with such a large negative GF vs GA)?

Kate

Boooooo!

Get it back!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Man alive do the Wings need an upgrade in goal!

Cigar-Nurse

Cool Hand tripped,and they score in the ensuing play. Now pk. Get back to the game guys. 

Kate

Welp. Handle it Wings.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Mathews didn't get pulled for concussion protocol? WTF?

Cigar-Nurse

Of course it was a double minor high stick. Damn red heads always bleed more than non red heads. 

Chet

wings need to gap up better at their blue. giving way too much space to torontos big lines. 

rwbill

Well theyve still got a goal lead, and we know how good they are at locking down a game.

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Damn he is leaking.

Cigar-Nurse

WTH? Wings with offense pressure and they blow the play dead for injury. 

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

Well... start drinking heavily.

Cigar-Nurse

Bah. Reverting back to old bad defensive habits. Clean er back up. 

Paul

I definitely know I am not hallucinating now.

Bill_H

Between the refs and the Wing's defense I'm surprised we're tied.  It could be 7-7 OT with both team's pathetic defense and goaltending. Let's score more than them!

Paul

rwbill

SWM, all these icings will come back to bite them.

Kate

Its time to tighten up.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bigfrog

Penalty on Kane. Toronto already has 2 P.P. goals.🤨

damndogrevenge

Can with his second high stick. Hmmmm

Bill_H

Do we always have to commit a penalty in the last minutes of a tie game?  Sigh...

bigfrog

I was hoping for a Toronto penalty.😀

rwbill

Between finishing my taxes and watching the Wings, the Wings are more taxing. 

Kate

D-Boss! HUGE 2 points! 
Good for James Reimer! 
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

And 2 points the hard way !!!  The very very hard way. 

Kate

Its on. Monday night yall.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

As the Bee Gees sang Staying alive. Larks with the OT WINNAH. 

Until Monday, have a great rest o the weekend 19. 

Bill_H

Good Gracious - snatching victory from the jaws of defeat!  :-)
