Thee Official 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Jonny Burgers eating well tonight in Columbus

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper with a great behind the back pass to Berggren in front, Berggren tries going between his legs

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Marner bats one out of the air and hits the post

Larkin gets high-sticked, no call

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shots are equal but the Leaves have gotten chances right in front of Talbot and most of the Wings shots have been from distance

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Some Wing got interfered with at center ice, similar to the Ras penalty

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Stick gets knocked out of Johansson’s hands, I guess that’s the penalty? Seems like a dumb penalty but the Larkin high stick was egregious and uncalled

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings have had a few good shifts this period, Berggren draws a hooking penalty on Tavares. Not the biggest hook but it stopped Burger from getting to a loose puck in the slot.

Dylan scores one for Grandma

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Too much Wing

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hope this PK goes better than the first one!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings deflected a pass but it goes right to Tavares, who shoots and scores

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Benoit goes for slashing the stick out of Kasper’s hands

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Not a great PP, puck didn’t settle a few times for guys

Mickey Redmond commented about how they’re fighting bounces and he’s right

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I assume Matthews being out is a major cause of this, but it doesn’t feel like the Leaves are as good or deep 5 on 5 as in previous years. Marner, Nylander, and Knies have been good at even but the bottom six is filler.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

5 on 5 has been quiet for both teams. The Kasper / Berggren / Tarasenko line has generated some chances but still can't bury one.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Jinxed that, Leaves’ third line generates two minutes of zone time

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Berggren with a good chance off a Johansson pass

[Grand Moff Larkin]

How did that not go in

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Brutal blown drop pass from Seider, gift empty netter for Tavares

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings needed to generate more chances. Mickey Redmond said they only had eight "scoring chances" in the game, which seems high for how it felt.

I don't know if the ice was shit or what, but the Wings wiped out a bunch and had no touch on their passing.

[practice]

Big revelation for me about the wings is that Rasmussen is said like it rhymes with Rasputin
