Thee Official 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Getting the band back together with Petr Mrazek, a real shitty band

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Lyon’s pulled, please win this draw

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings lose, Raymond’s hurt, Staal’s elbow swung around

[Grand Moff Larkin]

On the plus side, the Beej lost to the BLOT.

Soderblom got up to the top line for the third. I'd been thinking in the second period that he was playing way better than Veleno or Tarasenko. Larkin and Raymond looked somewhat better, Kasper did fine as a center. Going down two to the Canes is a death blow.

Carter Mazur called up, Christian Fischer waived

Curious if he’ll play with Kasper and Berggren like in GR

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Smell you layer, Christian Fischer

There was a recent poll of Wings players on various topics and Fischer was the unanimous pick for loudest / most talkative. By all accounts he’s a good guy in the room, and I know they lost some room presence in Perron and Walman last summer.

But man he did nothing on the ice for 90% of the year. Had a decent run with Ras and Copp but he’s basically the same defense-only forward as Tyler Motte and their PK is abysmal.

At Kid Artillery’s orchestra concert, checked the score during a changeover between schools, and the Hockey Club had just scored

Going great, back to music

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Second school check-in: Larkin has scored from Elmer, who is now on the top line

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Mazur already hurt and to the room?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Third school check-in: Berggren gave the Wings the lead

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Got back just in time for a Utah PP on a Johansson hold (which seemed borderline from that angle)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Schmaltz ties it wide open on the backdoor

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Jesus how did DeBrincat not score there

Ben Chiarot forechecking work, too

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings have 26 shots to Utah’s 13

Ras back, playing with Elmer and Tarasenko

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Sergachev just slugged Seider twice after the whistle

Wasn’t sure if they were going to call the first one, but the second got the penalty

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings will have 1:07 of PP time with a fresh sheet to start the third

Beej are down 2-0 to the Panth

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Couldn’t keep it in the zone

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Nice defensive work by Compher

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shots now 31-13

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Stenlund with a gift of a loose puck after a block that went to him alone, 3-2

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings get a PP at least
