Better Be Ready

02/25/2024 at 5:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings played a good game yesterday, and, now the quick turnaround time to face the Blackhawks. No matter their(Hawks) record, this team is not going to just lay down. The Wings better be ready for tonight’s tilt. Kaner returns to Chicago for the first time since leaving, and Cheli is having his #7 retired tonight.

Reimer is supposed have the net tonight, but, that’s subject to change. No other lineup changes that I’m aware of.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Blackhawks in an Original Six matchup. The puck is set to drop around 6:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit, NHL Network, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit)for your listening pleasure. Also available on NBCSCH and SPORTSNET+.

Congratulations to Cheli. A player that we all really enjoyed, respected, and appreciated.

Take Nothing For Granted

02/24/2024 at 11:30am EST

Good day and welcome to all. The Wings are coming into today’s tilt probably feeling good about their performance of late, and confidence is building. Just as long as they don’t forget how hard it’s been to keep up the pace. Take nothing for granted, and, never underestimate your opponent. Enough said.

Lyon has the net again. As of 9:43 AM no changes to the rest of the lineup.

It’s the Blues vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 12:00 PM ET and will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN+, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1(The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on SPORTSNET+.

Just Hope That It Works

02/22/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Wings are back home after a long four game Northwestern swing which yielded four points. The whole trip could have went South real fast, but for some fantastic goaltending from James Reimer(absolutely stole the game)and Alex Lyon(rock steady). Yes, the Wings scored plenty, but, Lalonde had to switch up/do a little blender so to speak, with the line combos. I don’t know what he has in mind tonight, let’s just hope that it works.

Lyon has the net tonight. I’m not sure who is sitting.

Finish On A High Note

02/19/2024 at 3:00pm EST

Good day once again, and welcome to all. The Red Wings know finishing this road trip on a high note is definitely necessary. The Wings have got to play better than they did the other night. They did win, but, Reimer was a huge reason they won. Yes, five goals were wonderful, but, that’s not going to happen every game. Let’s get on with it.

Lyon is the starter today. Kostin and Holl are sitting.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Kraken. The puck is set to drop around 3:30 PM ET and will be broadcast on ESPN, and on Red Wings Radio 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on SPORTSNET+.

Just Get It Done

02/17/2024 at 3:30pm EST

Good day and welcome to all. Well, what’s left to say? The Wings have to get back to their winning ways. That starts with not spotting the Flames a couple of goals and then playing catch up for the rest of the game, and blah, blah, blah… They know, we know. Just get it done.

Reimer has the net today, Fabbri is back, which is remarkable considering he just had a baby last week. A little levity can’t hurt, eh?

Make Some Hay

02/15/2024 at 9:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. The Red Wings have their work cut out for them tonight after being brought back down to Earth like the rest of us after a teachable sixty minutes. They are still a work in progress, as they are learning to run with the big dogs so to speak. Hopefully lesson learned, because the Canucks are not going to be an easy get by any means, and, the Wings have to make some hay whenever possible.

Lyon has the net tonight, Kostin is in for Fabbri(Congrats!).

It’s the Red Wings vs the Canucks. The puck is set to drop around 10:00 PM ET 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, SPORTSNET+, and TVAS.

Road Trip

02/13/2024 at 8:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings begin their road trip in Edmonton tonight, and, it’s going to be interesting to say the least as the Wings have much to prove to themselves. Yes, it’s been heading in the right direction. Yes, the Wings have bested some very good opponents, but, McDavid is the whole package. He also has some of the best players in the league to back him up. This game is important as it is worth two points, and, hopefully will help to continue to build confidence for the Wings going forward. Enough said.

Lyon is expected to start, but, Husso has been rumored to start. Kostin is in for Fabbri. Holl is sitting.

Update; Husso starts.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Oilers. The puck is set to drop around 9:00 PM ET 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 and SPORTSNET+.

We’re Back

02/10/2024 at 12:30pm EST

Good day, and, welcome back to one and all. It’s been a long break for the Red Wings, and, for the 19 as well, so let’s get ready for what should be an exciting contest. The Canucks are riding high atop the standings right now, and are coming in today angry, which means the Wings have to stick with what has been working for them. Every single game is important, as the Red Wings want to continue to gain ground in an extremely competitive, and tightly contested division.

Lyon has the net, and, Kaner and Chiarot are both ready to slot back into the lineup. As of 11:42 AM I’m not sure who’s sitting, if anyone.

It’s the Canucks vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 1:00 PM ET 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 and SPORTSNET+.

A Message To Paul

02/07/2024 at 6:00pm EST

Hi Paul,

I was a bit surprised the other day when you posted what is going on. The last 16 years have gone by so quickly. You have been fortunate to be able to call the shots and follow your passion, and, you made all of this happen, which takes courage and conviction. KK has reached so many people everywhere, even internationally. No small feat to achieve.

I’m thankful to you for sticking with A2Y. It’s fun, it’s the only online activity I engage in for the most part. But, it keeps me sharp, and on my toes, which is a good thing. Mostly, it is great fun. The wealth of information available at Kuklas Korner is second to none, but, the times they are a changing. It’s natural. Whatever your decision is, it should be whatever is in your best interest. I’ll be here until you turn the lights off.

Most Sincerely,

Kate

Paul responded;

Thanks so much Kate, you are going to make me cry.
I plan on keeping KK/A2Y alive, I just need some financial assistance and I am halfway there.
Once my goal is hopefully reached I can take a breath then look forward instead of getting little sleep and hoping for the best.
Worst scenario, place is shuttered after the SCF, best scenario, move forward once again with joy on my face,
Paul

Settle It On The Scoreboard

01/31/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings know what needs to happen tonight when they take on the Senators. They have to hang tough, remain disciplined, focused, don’t back down. All the while keeping in mind not to make it a grudge match. Settle it on the scoreboard.

Lyon has the net tonight, no Kaner or Chiarot until after the break.

It’s the Senators 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, and SPORTSNET+.

More Of The Same, Please

01/27/2024 at 7:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. The Red Wings are coming into tonight’s game following a solid win the other night, where everyone came to play. Wings fans would like more of the same, please. The Wings will need the same mindset tonight as they face off against the Knights, the current Cup champs. Enough said.

Lyon has the net, Kaner is out, Chiarot won’t return until after the break, defenseman Wyatt Newpower has been call up from GR.

A Lot To Be Desired

01/25/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings left a lot to be desired the other night. Albeit it was one really bad period, but, enough is enough. A bad habit of softening up plagues the Wings anytime they believe they have a perceived edge. Stop it right now. There is no edge as the game changes so fast on the fly, and, the better teams/opponents have already figured out any weakness in order to exploit it. The Flyers are in town tonight, and, this is another game the Wings have to win.

Lyon is in the net tonight, Compher looks to be in, Chiarot is out, Kaner is out.

It’s the Flyers vs the Red Wings. The puck drops 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, NBCSP, and SPORTSNET+.

Every Game Is Important

01/23/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. The Red Wings came to play the other night and it paid off. We’d like more of the same tonight. Relentless forechecking, hard on the puck, finishing checks. Every game is important, as the Wings cannot count on other divisional teams losing in order to stay above the fray. We only do that by winning, a tall order with no alternative.

Lyon has the net tonight, Chiarot is day to day, Kaner is still out.

01/21/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings are back at home after a good road trip, with a hiccup at the very end. Whatever, it’s time to move on to the next game, with some gusto. The Lightning are up next. Let’s get on with it then.

Lyon has the net, Chiarot is out, Kaner is out.

Let’s Get Er’ Done

01/19/2024 at 6:12pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. The Red Wings have managed their bench very well during this road trip. As successful as it’s been going so far, the Wings will definitely need to use the lessons learned in playing against this suffocating, hard forechecking Canes team. Tonight will be the toughest, and, may well be the best game of this trip. Let’s get er’ done.

Lyon has the net tonight, Walman TBD(no word as of 1:39 PM), Kaner is out.

Wings fans will be treated to a special early pregame show at 6:00PM on Bally Sports Detroit featuring Ozzie’s awesome backyard ice rink, and, Mickey along with special guests.

Better Hockey

01/17/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. Confidence should be high tonight on the Red Wings side of the bench. They are playing better hockey. No jink.😉The Panthers are going to be a challenge, no doubt about it. Let’s get on with it.

Lyon has the net tonight, Kostin is expected to play, Walman(illness) and Kane(lower body) are out.

Don’t Back Down

01/14/2024 at 7:00pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. Tonight the Red Wings take on the Leafs in the second game of a back to back for both teams. Should this be considered a game the Wings have to win? I think so. Keep the forward momentum going. Don’t back down. Be ready to throw everything you have at them, and then some.

Reimer has the net tonight, Kostin has been activated, Walman is still out.

No Going Easy

01/13/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Wings garnered a point the other night, so we’ll take it. It’s not going to be easy going at all tonight. The Kings are in town, and, are looking for something. The Wings have to make sure they never find it.

Lyon should be starting, but, nothing conclusive as of 2:30 PM. Update: 5:00PM Lyon starting.

Also, what about Holl? Once again, not sure. I’ll update when possible. Info is withheld until the last second some nights.Update: Walman out, Holl in. 6:38 PM.

Back On Home Ice

01/11/2024 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome back everyone. The Red Wings are back on home ice tonight after a successful road trip taking all the points on the ice. To put it another way, they made hay while the sun shines. Yes, a Mickeyism. The Oilers are in town tonight so this could be a high scoring affair from both teams. These teams share similar records, but, McDavid, Draisaitl. Need I go on?
Anyway, I have to believe that we do have the capability to pull this one off too. Just sayin..

Lyon has the net, Walman is supposed to be in. Holl sits? I’m not sure, as of 1:59 PM.

It’s the Oilers vs the Red Wings. The puck will 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, and SPORTNET+.

What To Expect?

01/07/2024 at 7:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings got it done the other night in the shootout with a beauty by Kaner for another W. Tonight the Ducks are on the menu, so to speak, but take nothing for granted. What they look like on paper is not what to expect. Every team brings their A game against the Wings. The Wings have to respond in kind.

Lyon has the net again, Copp is good to go, as of 3:34 PM I’m not sure who may be sitting.

Late Night-With The 19

01/04/2024 at 10:00pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. The Red Wings managed to pull off a win the other night the only way they know how it seems, the hard way. Up, then down, then a comeback. It should give the team a bit more confidence, and they’ll need it with another late start tonight against the Kings.

Lyon gets the start, and, as of this writing Copp is questionable, with Aston-Reese or Petry available.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Kings. The puck is set to drop around 10:30 PM ET-7:30 PM PT and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit, and on Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on ESPN+/NHLPP, BSW, and SPORTSNET+.

A Payback Game?

01/02/2024 at 10:00pm EST

Good evening and welcome to everyone. I’ll be nice and mention the Red Wings are coming into tonight’s game having lost the last game of 2023. No one is jumping for joy here. They are still soft, and, somewhat defensively inept. This should be a payback game, but, the Sharks are coming in having lost their last five games, so good luck tonight, Wings. You’re going to need it. Lyon gets the start again, Holl is in, Petry is out.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Sharks. The puck is set to drop around 10:30 PM ET-7:30 PM PT 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, NBCSCA, and SPORTSNET+.

Mindful And Aggressive

12/31/2023 at 4:30pm EST

Good evening, and welcome to everyone on this New Year’s Eve. The Red Wings finally gave the fans something the other night with the OT win, which never should have went to OT, but, we’ll take it. Happily. Tonight we face the Bruins who are coming in off a win last night, so the Wings have to be mindful, aggressive, and not fool themselves into thinking they are playing against a tired team, because this game has TRAP written all over it.

Lyon gets the start in net, Veleno and Fischer are good to go, Berggren and Czarnik are back to GR.

It’s the Bruins vs the Red Wings in an Original Six matchup. The puck is set to drop around 5:00 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 NHLPP/ESPN+, NESN, and SPORTSNET +.

Show Us Something, Anything

12/29/2023 at 6:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all. Everyone connected to the Red Wings, management, coaches, and especially the players have an obligation to the fans. At the very least, show us something, anything, that will give us any reason to continue to watch this Red Wings team.

Maatta and Petry are back. Lyon starts in net. Edvinsson is back to GR.

It’s the Predators vs the Red Wings. The puck is set to drop around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on on Bally Sports Detroit, and on the Red Wings Radio Network 97.1 (The Ticket in Detroit) for your listening pleasure. Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+, BSSO, and SPORTSNET+.

A Tough December

12/27/2023 at 7:30pm EST

Good evening and welcome to all, and I hope you’ve all enjoyed the short break. Tonight the Red Wings are back on the road, and are hopefully somewhat rested. It’s been a tough December for this team to say the least, and, not much is going our way. The saying goes, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Let’s hope that holds true. I will not say it cannot get worse, because I know better. Uh, no more jink.

Maatta, Petry, Fischer, and, now Veleno are out, along with the other currently injured players. Berggren, Czarnik, and Edvinsson have been called back up from GR. Reimer is in goal tonight.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Wild. The puck is set to drop around 8:00 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 NHLPP/ESPN+, BSN, BSWIX, and SPORTSNET +.

On behalf of the 19, I would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to our number one favorite, Mickey Redmond, and, many more to come.
