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

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I don’t know what they’d challenge if that’s what they’re debating with this timeout

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Challenging for offside, I haven’t seen an angle on it

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Gibson with a big save on a Cozens breakaway, that’s the sort of stop he hasn’t made as much

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Good Copp Good Copp

what is a "save"? I feel like I used to know what that was, haven't seen them this year

[Grand Moff Larkin]

You used up your quota with that Ullmark game last year

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Man the Wings are lucky not to be down 3-1

McLellan should hit the line blender again because these aren’t working

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Perron slew-foots Appleton, Mickey thinks unintentionally, but he definitely went down hard

[sutterfamily]

This season is the fucking worst

[Grand Moff Larkin]

JVRRRRRRRR

Booing DeBrincat continues to amuse me

[sutterfamily]

Oops wrong thread

[Grand Moff Larkin]

This season is the fucking worst

Is it mostly the goaltending? They’re not out of the mix by any means

It is pretty comical how much better they’ve looked than Detroit this period vs. the score

[sutterfamily]

Probably the biggest factor has been goaltending. They have the worst (Ullmark) and 3rd last (Merilainen) goalies in goals saved above expected.

But they also kinda get into this a lot where they have a lot of great chances and no lethal finishers? Cozens has to bury ONE of those two chances, for example.

Too Much Air on Chiarot

Would prefer not to give up one in the last few minutes


I assume McLellan will tear into them between periods

[Grand Moff Larkin]

JVRRRR AGAIN

The Wings do not deserve a three goal lead but I’ll take it

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Larkin with a double clank

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Giroux spins off Larkin to get free in front and cuts it to 3-1

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Stutzle got hurt because he crosschecked Kasper out of the way and then took a puck to the chest

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It looks like he’ll live

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ras goes for a trip, another big kill
