Thee Official 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Wings get fucked by officials outside for a change

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I swear to God every time the puck goes to Tarasenko the play dies

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Miserable

[Grand Moff Larkin]

McLellan called out the effort of top players, mentioning Larkin by name. Both he and Raymond looked gassed, I suspect there was a Four Nations hangover.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Tonight's outdoor game is a big deal in the standings, even if I don't really care about the stadium series. Hoping that all of the ex-Michigan players on Detroit get hyped up for it.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I listened to an Athletic podcast about the deadline and the only mention of the Wings was "Maybe they should trade for Jordan Binnington." Fuck no!

I'm into the idea of them getting Jared McCann from the Kraken. I don't know if he's actually available, but 1. he has a reasonable cap hit 2. he always scored against the Wings and looks threatening throughout games 3. fucking hell I'd rather watch him than Tarasenko. I assume it would take their 2025 first, a prospect (hopefully not in the Danielson / MBN tier), and a roster player (Berggren?). I'd do that.

I also keep thinking about Seth Jones and whether that would be a good idea.

Johnny Gaudreau’s widow leading Columbus out on the ice

Welp I don’t think Detroit is winning this one

Jenner putting Seider in a headlock while JVR crosschecks him

Wings have had some chances, pucks in the air around Merzlikins that would’ve gone in for the Beej last game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Big save by Talbot on Marchenko

Then a whole lot more post whistle BS from Columbus

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Puck seems tough to handle out there

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ugh Ryan Day get the fuck out of here

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Jesus how is that not interference

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings get a bunch of chances and then Mateychuk comes in and scores

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shots are 23-11 Detroit

Getting a PP now at least

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Merzlikins hasn’t looked very good, either. Lots of scrambling, pucks floating through his crease. Wings have passed up some great shots too.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It’s a Wings PP, so it’s time to talk to the jam band OAR

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Backdoor to DeBrincat, shut the fuck up OAR

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Seider off for tripping

Fantilli had hit the crossbar after a magnetic bounce to Marchenko at center ice

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Voronkov scores immediately

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Fucking Mathieu Olivier??? Fuck off

[Grand Moff Larkin]

That last one is on Talbot, didn’t read the play and cover the post
