Thee Official 2025-2026 Detroit Red Wings Thread: It was the worst of times, it's now the best of times

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Flames had a good chance late but Gibson made the save

Calgary has a number of solid players — Huberdeau, Weegar (although I just saw how brutal of a year he’s having), Kadri, Andersson — but no one that strikes fear in me. They have all the guys you’d put around stars but not the stars.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings had the first seven shots, Calgary the next nine

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper with a clear hold

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Finnie gets tripped right off the draw, 34 seconds of 4 on 4 then the PP

I do think Calgary could recoup a lot of rebuild capital if they move a bunch of guys. They have dudes contenders would want.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Larkin goes for tripping, no PP after all

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kadri sold that call

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Copp forced a turnover, found DeBrincat in front and he went roof

[Grand Moff Larkin]

JVR alllllmost gets one on a breakaway

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Larkin turned on the jets with a loose puck and made no errors on the finish, 4-0

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Another penalty on the Wings, this time on Copp

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Larkin and Rasmussen on a shorthanded 2 on 1, Larkin forces a pass to Ras for an unknown reason

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings with four goals on 13 shots

Can’t really blame Cooley on that, either

[Grand Moff Larkin]

No Edvinsson to start the third, blocked a shot in the second. Won’t return.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Klapka with a cheap shot on Seider

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Amazing that the Wings are up four with like two seconds of PP time prior to this penalty

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Flames get a penalty shot after ASP turns it over at the line

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Farabee scores, bummer that’s how the shutout goes

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now it’s 4-2 after Compher gets interfered with behind the Flames net and the Flames get a 3 on 2 the other way

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Good response shift

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now it’s 4-3 on a point shot from Weegar

Osgood liked Hamonic firing it intentionally wide in the offensive zone but it started Calgary’s transition
