Thee Official 2023-2024 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Why, Jake, Why

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Just did a feral celebration noise for that goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

More OT magic please

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Strome wins it in OT, DeBrincat got caught back

[Grand Moff Larkin]

DeBrincat had Seider wide open in front and hit his back skate with the pass

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I will miss tonight’s game as I am in Glasgow, Kentucky

[Grand Moff Larkin]

No Kane tonight due to illness? Haha well

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Well they shit the bed tonight but at least the Flyers and Caps did too

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Petry -3 in a game with three even-strength Canes goals checks out

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Worth noting that Petry took the penalty for the Canes PP goal

Anyway, in Nashville, probably best for my mental health that I won’t watch today’s game against The Panth

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Larkin injured on the first shift of the game? Haha welp

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shootout loss, which is better than expected, but disappointing in that they had a 1-0 lead with six more bites left and a PP in OT

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Walman’s back, which is good, taking the place of Maatta (who hasn’t been the problem) but at least Edvinsson’s staying in.

Czarnik is still in for Sprong, and I don’t agree with that call. The reason why the Wings won a lot of their games this year was scoring depth, and Sprong provides scoring while Czarnik is a black hole offensively. Presumably it’s because they don’t trust Veleno defensively at center and then have three bottom-six centers on one line with Ras, Copp, and Fischer, but I’d find a way to make it work.

In any case, seems unlikely that they’ll bring Sprong back next year. I’d rather see Berggren, Kasper, or Mazur up, but who knows if they’d be trusted?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Chiarot didn’t clear the zone, Tampa changes to the Stamkos line while they’re in the zone, Czarnik hooks Cirelli

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Edvinsson made a great play to get a clear on that PK

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Raymond to the box for a silly trip on a dump in

It’s been all BLOT since the last PP

[Grand Moff Larkin]

BLOT PP remains terrifying

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Walman had a great chance after the PP ended

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings get a PP after Hagel hooks Gostisbehere

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings with six shots but no goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kane gets them on the board with a sick backhand
