What’s Next?

03/19/2024 at 6:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. It’s been quite the awful month for Red Wings fans as we all have watched in disbelief while the Wings have played themselves out of the Wild Card spot, for now. We’re all angry about this turn of events, but, fans have no control over what happens next. You never know what’s coming.

Reimer is the projected starter tonight. Edvinsson is in, Walman is out(lower body), Rasmussen is a game time decision. Since there are other players dealing with illnesses, the Red Wings won’t decide their final lineup until warmups.

It’s the Blue Jackets 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, BSOH, and SPORTSNET+.

It’s a Live Blog!

Thank you Paul. NHL.com had Czarnik and Holl as the scratches, but, sometimes I feel like all info is being kept under wraps much more tightly because of gambling. I scour the interwebs for information, and more often than not, its just never there until the puck drops. Am I missing something? 

PaulKate

I'd feel more positive if Larkin skated out for the Anthem.

Bill_H

Me and my big mouth.  I asked for Edvinsson and now we got him.  LGRW and I hope he makes more good plays than bad plays, which a lot of our D don't.  :-)

calquakeBill_H

I hope we don't notice him. That'll mean he's holding his own.

KateBill_H

Good ask Bill_H. Last interview I watched, SY did say hed call up whoever he thinks will help the team win. Plus I like the kid as well.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

Whats up gang?  Stuck with the CBJ broadcast tonight.  *Gag*

calquake

Howdy boys and girls. Time to shut up and just win. L.G.R.W.

Bill_H

I wonder what's up with Berggren?

calquakeBill_H

I believe he only has 1 game left (maybe none) to not have to clear waivers to be sent down to GR.

bezukov

Sloppy play with the puck so far. 

Bill_Hbezukov

I was just going to say their passing is crisp.  :-o

bezukovBill_H

I guess I mean their choices with the puck.  Theyve handed it back to Columbus several times.  

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. No need to beat the dead horse again. Just win.  Berggen oot due to one more game and becomes waiver eligible. 

Cigar-Nurse

Here we go again. Last guy back is probably the slowest skater on the team.  Get er back. 

Bill_H

Two stinking break-aways.  So, Lalonde is worried about Edvinsson making egregious mistakes?  What a joke.

bezukov

Careless.  Careless. Careless.  Shoot first.  If you have to pass, look before you pass.  

damndogrevenge

Hi Kate and All,I lost track of time probably due to the time change.It looks like the Wings are affected by it as well. Columbus looks like Vegas.

Bill_H

5 on 5 CF is 18-2 CBJ, 11-0 SOG - CBJ.  What is this?

RWHockey13

Time to start playing their game. Reset, slow down, forecheck and it will be fine. Control the play.

bezukov

So DeBrincat has been playing hurt, right?

RWHockey13

Wings are in really bad shape. This is on coaching as well. The poorest of hockey. 

RWHockey13

Getting outshot, out played, out manned. Sign more vets Steve.

bezukov

Larkin better not pay for golf once this summer.  Boy have these guys let him down.

calquake

This appears to be what is known as 'a late season collapse'.

RWHockey13

Another loss. I am pretty much done for tonight. Why waste the time. Think of the draft. I am not looking forward to the summer. Steve may fill his roster with more FAs. Oh well.

calquakeRWHockey13

And you know they're going to blame the loss of Larkin as an excuse. Bullshit. If they're that fragile they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

damndogrevenge

This team has zero fight in them

Cigar-Nurse

Dont know what our man game loss for injury is this year compared to the rest of the league. Definitely cant use it as an excuse for us. Columbus, yes. 

RWHockey13

Perron, Kane, DeBrincat, Chiarot, Petry all non-leading leaders. 

Lalonde will wind up pointing out Edvinsson. 

The blame starts with the veterans. 

KateRWHockey13

Yes it does. Im absolutely floored by how bad this team is/looks.

RWHockey13Kate

Totally amazing Kate. Copp and Compher also part of the lack of leadership. 

How does Steve deal with this? 

I like Lalonde, but does Steve replace him in the offseason? 

Cigar-Nurse

Hope ya didnt have to pay much to see this disgusting performance Frog. 

RWHockey13

3 players worth keeping: Larkin, Raymond, and Seider.

Even DeBrincats salary is a joke. He has done nothing. Use in a package to trade if it includes Holl. Salary will need to be retained. Forget Petry for next year. lol.


Yzerman needs to tweak this roster.

Bill_H

I guess it's gotten to the point where I'm just going to make the screen small and put it in the corner of my monitor, with the volume off.  No point in listening to this performance, which is like listening to Mick Jagger with laryngitis and Keith Richards with the flu!

nctheo

Tell you what... send the Griffs up to the LCA, send the fucking Red Wings to Iowa or wherever the bus goes next.


nctheo

Lalonde looks good in that suit though. Who's his tailor?

calquake

listening to Mick Jagger with laryngitis and Keith Richards with the flu!

And they would still perform better than the Product on the ice.

nctheo

Okay, I'll insert the first turd into the punch bowl.

Who gets fired first?

Bill_H

Well, we're getting somewhere now.  Let's see how we handle improving our play.

bezukov

The lack of forecheck is on the players.  

The complete and utter lack of defensive structure is in the coaches.  So is the one dimensional power play. 

Kate

WTF! That calls for a double minor. Cowardly as f**k.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Cigar-Nurse

Nice to be tied up with a gratuitous bounce of an opponents stick. 

Ras has to stop the cross checks to the boards. 

nctheoCigar-Nurse

Ras is the only one playing physical, violent hockey. That's why he stands out and gets called.

calquake

How long are we going to wait for Ras to reach his potential? Has he peaked/is peaking already?

Kate

Reimer comes through. Again.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

bezukov

The Jackets regained their composure there at the end.  Gotta come out gunning in the third.  

damndogrevenge

Mo said they need to be hard  Viagra in their water?

calquake

A little levity: Did you know that Aladdin was banned from the Flying Magic Carpet races?

It was determined he was using performing enhancing rugs.

Bill_H

They fell back into their 1st period ways at the end of the 2nd.  That won't bode well for the 3rd.  We need to start playing like Raymond...hard!  :-)

Paul

Three goals to Reimer's glove side tonight.

bezukovPaul

That was not quite a bad goal on Reimer.  But he did not look sharp on that play. 

Bill_H

I wonder if these guys know what a zone-entry is "with possession".  Dump'n chase, dump'n chase, dump'n chase.  Sigh...

RWHockey13

Have to stop the gutless worm hockey. 2nd period was good. 

bezukov

And this is why we cant show up 20 minutes late to the game.  

Cigar-Nurse

CHL and MO showing the vets how its done.  Way to go.  OT here we gooo. 

Royal Grand Exalted PooBah

hehe - until next game...

bezukov

Jesus.  They worked a lot harder than they needed to for that win.  

Paulbezukov

The last 9 games, it feels like they have been playing the 76/77 Canadiens.

Cigar-Nurse

Kaner with the winnah.  Wasnt a pretty game, but 2 points is 2 points warts and all. Until Thursday, good night 19. 

Kate

WE WIN! HUGE! I want more win.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

RWHockey13

Play hard, forecheck and you pull out a win. That is hockey.



nctheo

Lucky charm, that 88. First two periods, and the first 18 minutes of the third looked like a charity match. All Columbus. I'm not getting my hopes for the Wings.

Kate

Heya frog! Glad you were our lucky charm tonight. Nice comeback, just for you.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Bill_H

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat!

Kate

It was an ugly win.., but it was a win. Next game folks.😉☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
