Thee Official 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Erik Gustafsson says "You can't blame me anymore"

[Grand Moff Larkin]

The Wings’ final nine games

@Blooze: St. Louis has won nine in a row and opened up a six point lead on a playoff spot. Seems doubtful!
Canes: Maybe they get a Mrazek Revenge Game but Carolina seems to always handle the Wings
Panth: Wings finally beat them this year and at least Tkachuk is out. But like Carolina, Florida usually rolls the Wings.
@Habs: Who knows if the Wings are still in the mix then, but it could be critical. I think a lot about the two games the Habs won to end Lalonde’s tenure as coach, and maybe they wouldn’t have made a coaching change if they’d won them. But man those four points loom large.
@Panth: Oh great
@BLOT: Back to back, third game in four nights, Vasi usually destroys them.
Stars: The last home game. I’m tempted to go if they’re still in it. Hate the fucking Stars.
@Devils: No J’accuse! for Rasmussen to manhandle this time.
@Leaves: Another back to back road game, third game in four nights situation. I assume Toronto would rest guys if their slot is locked up.

Wings probably need 7-8 of these to make the playoffs. I don’t see any obvious wins and it could easily be 2-7 or 1-8.

All of a sudden Buffalo and Philly are winning games. Conceivable that the Wings could be last in the East.

Nothing good will come from me fantasizing about a lottery win and getting Misa / Schaefer / Hagens, but that seems more likely than a playoff spot right now.

Blooze wearing their 90s throwbacks, hope Yzerman suits up and blasts a slapper top shelf

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings got hemmed in on their first shift, does not bode well

Jimmy Snugs making his NHL debut for da Blooze

Petry goes for boarding, seemed more like Holloway turned his back and slipped

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Good shift with lots of zone time from the Kasper Ras Raymond line

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Edvinssson goes for a hook

Blooze appeared to get away with a hand on the puck in/near the crease

Great block by Motte

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Nick Leddy Revenge Game (defensively on Kasper after Binnington fucked up)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

C’mon Wings PP

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Best two plays on that PP were by Ras, not ideal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

i just checked my watch, looks like it's lucas raymond time

Wings need him and Larkin to pick it up

[Grand Moff Larkin]

How the hell does that not end up in the net

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kane having a frustrating night

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shots are 17-6 Blooze halfway through the game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

For a solid minute, the audio sounded like a glitch record

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Too Many Blues

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Love that the Wings’ shot total has gone down a couple of times
