Put Up Or Shut Up

03/12/2024 at 6:30pm EDT

Good evening and welcome to all. There’s no good way to spin anything that’s been happening on the ice with this Red Wings team. Losers of their last five game, it’s time to put up, or shut up. Yes, sometimes you aren’t so lucky, that’s when you have to make your own good luck, decisions, choices. That’s how winners play.

Derek Lalonde said, “ I wouldn’t say (Tuesday) is a must-win, it’s a must-play-well.”

Really? I don’t think so. Where is the urgency? With only eighteen games(tonight included) remaining in the regular season, it seems to me that every single game has to be approached as a must win. Just saying….

Lyon has the net tonight, Walman is back, Burgers is in as well.

It’s the Red Wings vs the Sabers. The puck is set to drop at 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, MSG-B, and SPORTSNET+.

A Third Try For Atlanta

03/12/2024 at 2:45pm EDT

from Sportsnet,

A group led by former NHL player Anson Carter says it wants to bring a team to the Atlanta area.
Alpharetta Sports & Entertainment put out a statement Tuesday saying it has started a process aiming at bringing an expansion team to Alpharetta, Ga., about 40 minutes north of Atlanta.
Carter, who also does work as an NHL analyst for Sportsnet and TNT, says his partners include Neil Leibman of Top Tier Sports, Peter Simon of Simon Sports and Aaron Zeigler of Zeigler Entertainment Group.
"I've lived in Atlanta since 2009, and I have no doubt that the best league in the world will thrive in its return to Metro Atlanta," Carter said in a statement. "... I have been in dialogue with commissioner (Gary) Bettman since 2019 about an expansion team returning to the Fulton County Metro Atlanta market, knowing that NHL franchise decisions are exclusively decided by the NHL Board of Governors."

Blame Everyone

03/11/2024 at 6:36pm EDT

from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,

Everyone had a hand in the wrongdoing.

The Red Wings were on a six-game points streak (5-0-1) on Jan. 14 when they beat the Maple Leafs in Toronto 5-3 to move into the first Eastern Conference wild card. The Red Wings were on a five-game losing streak last night when the New York Islanders downed the Anaheim Ducks to move past them for the final wild card spot.

Everyone’s fingerprints are on the losing streak. The Red Wings go into Tuesday’s game in Buffalo looking to avoid an 0-4 road trip.

“Can’t get frustrated, just got to keep getting hungrier,” Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said after Saturday’s 5-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Total System Failure

The team has been outscored 25-8 in the five losses. The Red Wings were shut out twice in the five losses, including once by the Arizona Coyotes who rank 27th out of 32 teams in the NHL overall standings. They have scored five or more goals in 19 games this season, and yet have only managed to net more than three goals once in the past seven games.

Lucas Raymond had raised his game to another level over the past several weeks, but has no points during the losing streak and is minus-8 in those five games.

Patrick Kane has played brilliantly this season, but has gone four games without a point. He’s minus-4 in those games. Alex DeBrincat is minus-6 in the losing streak. Captain Dylan Larkin’s injury has undermined the team’s offensive production.

What are the Benefits of Watching Football Live Score?

03/11/2024 at 12:52pm EDT

Globally, football is a highly favored game. Many will always be connected to the game in one way or another—as spectators, participants, or alumni of the sport. Although not all games need to get watched on television, supporters follow every match. Nonetheless, there are more spectators for the key tournaments, such as the derbies, knockout stages, and match finals. What matters most is to watch the game.

The most appealing aspect of live soccer streaming is the level of involvement. Many fans can attend the spectacular soccer match because they cannot go to the stadium. However, connecting with others might be facilitated by using an online live soccer streaming service. When viewing the game, soccer fans from everywhere can hear about your emotions.

Advancing Inclusion In Hockey

03/11/2024 at 10:05am EDT

NEW YORK/TORONTO (March 11, 2024) – The National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) today announced the completion of a Leaguewide educational tour led by members of the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition (NHL PIC). Beginning at the start of the 2023-24 season, NHL PIC members hosted one-hour guided conversations with active Players in all 32 locker rooms where discussions focused on diversity and inclusion, emphasizing how inclusion builds the foundation for stronger and higher-performing teams.

Points Needed Now

03/11/2024 at 4:34am EDT

from Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now,

A little over a week ago, they were eight points clear of any team in the chase for an Eastern Conference wild card playoff spot. Today, thanks to the New York Islanders beating the Anaheim Ducks 6-1 on Sunday, they are now deadlocked, each with 72 points. And the Isles are holding a game in hand.

The Islanders have won six in a row. Heading to Buffalo for a Tuesday showdown with the Sabres that will complete a four-game road trip, the Red Wings are losers of five in succession. They fell 5-3 on Saturday to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Wings need wins. And they need them right now.

“We’re not in the taking the positives mood,” Copp said. “We need points.

This week is launching a five-game run for Detroit against clubs that are currently not part of the playoff picture. After Buffalo, the Red Wings come home to face the Arizona Coyotes and then a rematch with the Sabres. Next, they go to Pittsburgh, before returning for a home date against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

* Sebastian Aho factored on three of seven Hurricanes goals to help Carolina move within two points of the top spot in the Metropolitan Division while Mathew Barzal picked up multiple assists to help the Islanders grab a playoff spot for the first time in nearly two months.

* Matt Boldy scored the game-winning goal for the Wild, who benefited from an unconventional play in overtime to gain ground in the Western Conference Wild Card race.

* Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard posted three points apiece Sunday while Colin Blackwell scored his first career hat trick to bump AstraZeneca’s donation to the Hockey Fights Cancer Fund of the V Foundation to $455,000.

* Three teams in the running for the Presidents’ Trophy are in action Monday, including the Bruins (38-13-15, 91 points) who can claim first place in the League standings from the idle Panthers (44-17-4, 92 points).

Lou Nanne Retiring After Calling Minnesota High School Hockey For 60 Years

03/10/2024 at 11:01am EDT

from Ian Russell of KARE 11,

Lou Nanne has been calling the Minnesota High School Boys Hockey Tournament longer than many of us have been alive. 60 years behind the mic is an incredible feat – and you don't have to go far to find those saying "thanks."

As thousands packed the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul to watch Saturday's AA championship game between Chanhassen and Edina, thousands more packed the bars along 7th Street. At Grand Seven, it wasn't hard to find kind words about the man behind the mic.

"I think it's tradition," Marsha Scott said.

"I recognize Lou every year at the state tournament," Nick Anderson said. "I don't think anybody has been more impactful than Lou Nanne."

"He's almost the face of Minnesota Hockey!" Mike Woltars said.

Sunday Morning Hockey Talk

03/10/2024 at 8:22am EDT

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Shanahan likes to say he wants to be one of the “eight or so” teams that make the playoffs with a shot at winning the Cup. This season, they will make the playoffs … A former accomplished GM on the Leafs: “I don’t see how you can win long-term in the playoffs with that defence and that goaltending. Too much guessing, I think.”

- Fascinating pickup by Carolina at the deadline: When Washington won the Stanley Cup in 2018, Evgeny Kuznetsov should have won the Conn Smythe Trophy. He outscored Alex Ovechkin 18-12 in the final two rounds. If Kuznetsov is mentally and physically all right at age 31, what a pickup this could be for the Hurricanes. He had 78 points as recently as 2022.

- What you need most seasons to win the Stanley Cup: 1) Goaltending; 2) Quality coaching; 3) A Norris type defenceman; 4) Depth at centre. It’s a short list of teams that meet all four criteria: The Rangers, Dallas, Vancouver, Vegas, Winnipeg and Tampa. Teams that don’t meet the full criteria, in spite of their overall depth are Carolina, Edmonton, Colorado, and Florida.

- A question asked the other day: Why doesn’t Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky get much Vezina Trophy love? He has been among the best goalies in hockey this season. Yes, the trophy may be Connor Hellebuyck’s or Thatcher Demko’s to win, but Bob should get more attention.

Wings Come Up Empty Again

03/10/2024 at 8:00am EDT

from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,

"This one stings a lot," coach Derek Lalonde said. "To come into this building on a back-to-back, outshoot a team like that, 13-5 (in the third period), with the lineup they have, and come up empty-handed feels a little disappointing."

Losers of five straight, the Wings (33-25-6) have dropped to the second wild-card position in the Eastern Conference with just a two-point lead on the New York Islanders.

Goalie James Reimer withstood a barrage from the Knights and Moritz Seider's shot led to deflected goals by Michael Rasmussen late in the first period and J.T. Compher early in the third period.

"You try to not give them much," Patrick Kane said. "I think after the first 10 minutes, we played pretty well, had a lot of puck possession."///

"Such a great effort by everyone," Seider said. "We came out with a really good game plan against a really good team that loaded up at the deadline even more, and we showed character. That was the best game on the losing streak so far. That’s just a bummer, coming out of here with nothing."

NHL Short Notes

03/10/2024 at 1:55am EST

* The Bruins won the NHL Big City Greens Classic 2 and remained one point back of the League-leading Panthers, who defeated the Flames on Saturday thanks in part to a 2-1—3 showing by new forward Vladimir Tarasenko.

* Darren Raddysh had a career night by becoming the first defenseman in Lightning history with a five-assist game, while also joining Kris Letang and Torey Krug as the third blueliner to achieve the feat in 2023-24.

* Jonathan Marchessault scored the NHL’s 90th hat trick of the season – six shy of the entire total from 2022-23 (96). AstraZeneca, which is donating $5,000 to the #HockeyFightsCancer Fund of the V Foundation up to $500,000, needs just 10 more three-goal performances to reach its donation goal.

* A five-game Sunday opens with the 13th all-time meeting between Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby when the Oilers visit the Penguins at 1 p.m. ET (TNT, MAX, SNP, SNW, SN360, TVAS).
