Thee Official 2025-2026 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Everywhere I look it's a darkness

[neuartillery]

I don’t anticipate Appleton staying on a 60 goal pace by any means, but I did check to see how many goals Tyler Motte had last year and it was four total.

That pass by MBN to Finnie in front, holy shit. Wish he finished but man these kids

yeah jeez

glad i was able to watch this one!

[neuartillery]

Got to see ASP’s first career goal in person

No Kucherov has helped. Wings PPs have been terrible. Nice to see Gibson make saves.

[neuartillery]

So the Wings got caved in during the third period. They were up like 22-14 in shots and then all of a sudden the BLOT had 26-25. Gibson was incredible but couldn't do anything on the tying goal.

Finnie had a chance to win it in the last minute, which would've been great for his first NHL goal. But it goes to OT, and there were a couple of times (like when Kane got tripped and went down behind the BLOT goal and the BLOT didn't really do much with a 3 on 2 the other way) that I was sure it was going to end poorly for Detroit. But a BLOT shot rimmed around the boards and Larkin had a clean break from... the Wings' blueline? He buried it on Vasi and Pizzarena Uno went fucking bonkers. The most fun I've had at a game.

No Kucherov was definitely nice, but Vasi is still Vasi and the Wings' record against him is putrid. 4-1 to start the season against playoff teams from the division, can't complain.

hell yeah, that's so awesome!

[neuartillery]

Kane is also out tomorrow vs. Edmonton

He was holding his arm/wrist after going down behind the goal

[kit fox]

Finnie had a chance to win it in the last minute, which would've been great for his first NHL goal.

just caught the highlights, oh my GOD this shot. vasilevskiy saved by the absolute BUTT of the stick.

larkin pulling in to number 2 for most wings OT goals

do I dare give fan duel my money to watch this season???

[neuartillery]

Obviously, Fanduel is a great company that only does moral business

I'm still thinking about one of the Fanduel Same Game Parlays in which they expected Wings fans to include the number of shots John Tavares reached for the opposite team

Raymond back, Jah bless

[neuartillery]

“We mic’d up JVR”

[30 seconds of him saying almost nothing]

[neuartillery]

Finnie / Larkin / Raymond
DeBrincat / Kasper / MBN
Berggren / Compher / Appleton
Rasmussen / Copp / JVR

[neuartillery]

Tomato sauce underway. Scoreless first, Wings generally look faster / better and have had more chances, but it feels like a matter of time before McDavid or Draisaitl takes the tiniest crack and scores.

[neuartillery]

Larkin absolutely ripped a one-timer upstairs, beauty saucer pass from Chiarot

[neuartillery]

And they immediately take a penalty to give the Goil some potential life

[neuartillery]

Emmitt Finnie gets his first NHL goal, beat Ekholm and Nurse to a rebound in front

[neuartillery]

Noah Philip immediately gets it back

[neuartillery]

Larkin gets his second of the afternoon with three minutes left in the second

[neuartillery]

AlJo mixing it up with Mangiapiane

[neuartillery]

Larkin hits the post on an attempt at a hat trick, someone threw a hat in a premature celebration

[neuartillery]

Kulak finds Draisaitl on the back door and he makes it a one-goal game
