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

[neuartillery]

Rasmussen with a real dumb crosscheck on Jake Bean

[neuartillery]

Edvinsson with some nice work on the PK

[neuartillery]

Things got dicey near the end of it but overall the second was much better, not just on the scoreboard

[neuartillery]

DeBrincat stop being cute and just make the quick, smart play

[neuartillery]

Veleno takes a slashing penalty

He did it alright

[neuartillery]

Marchenko retakes the lead

Well fuck

[neuartillery]

Reimer should’ve had it

[neuartillery]

Copp tries a pass instead of a shot in close

ARGHHHHH

[neuartillery]

DeBrincat flips the puck off the bench during a zone entry with Reimer pulled

His brain needs to be power cycled

[neuartillery]

LUCAS MOTHERFUCKING RAYMOND

[neuartillery]

Win the game in OT please lord please Baby Jesus please Lucas Raymond

[neuartillery]

Patrick Kane in OT, born and raised in South Detroit

(I think this one is getting reviewed)

[neuartillery]

That’s a goal

[neuartillery]

Not sure why Tarasov ducked there, maybe he was channeling Reimer

[neuartillery]

Sounds like Larkin will be a game-time decision against the Isles, Walman's out

If the Wings win, they'll be five up on the Isles (who'd have one game in hand) and three up on the Caps (who'd have two games in hand)

The Wings' next four games are @NSH (oof), @WSH (huge), @CAR (oof), @FLA (oof). So they really need this Isles game because I have a hard time seeing them do better than 2-2 in that stretch.

[neuartillery]

The rest of their schedule

@TB
NYR
BUF
WSH
@PIT
@TOR
MTL
@MTL

Curious if Toronto will have anything to play for at that point. A couple of pivotal games against Tampa and Washington.

Thirteen total games left, I think 8-5 is probably as good as they'll do. That would put them at 92 points, don't know if it'll be enough. Still blows me away that the Isles have 15 OTLs.

[neuartillery]

I'm surprised that Czarnik is still in and Sprong is out, but at least Kane and DeBrincat get Compher again

[neuartillery]

The big question is whether they’ll take a gigantic crap on the ice during the first period and then spend the rest of the game digging out of it

[neuartillery]

Really wish that Neon James weren’t starting the most important game in the history of Little Caesar’s Arena but here we are

[neuartillery]

Reimer with a good save early off Larkin’s skate

Isles ran a pick play to make that happen
