Thee Official 2025-2026 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Talbot's Shootout Record in California Incorrectly Seen as Crime Wave

5-0 Isles after a blown play following the PP

Turning it off

[Grand Moff Larkin]

7-2 final

Larkin kept his point streak alive with a goal, MBN got his first NHL point with an assist on Berggren’s goal, but they definitely didn’t turn back into a good team.

Problems outside of "Wait you mean someone could be trailing on this play and we have to cover him???" which was most of the goals they allowed before I turned it off:

1. Raymond doesn't look 100%. They put him on Kasper's line and ideally he'd be driving that line, but that wasn't happening.
2. Kasper seems tentative. He's had a slow start to the year in terms of production and I think it's getting in his head.
3. Edvinsson was BRUTAL. I really hadn't considered the possibility of a sophomore slump for him, but his decision making is fried and he got benched for the third.
4. ASP wasn't much better. I get it -- if your defensive partner is doing dumb shit and you're a rookie, you're going to scramble a bit. But they're the second pair and it's not like I want Hamonic to come in.
5. DeBrincat is totally snakebitten. He should've had at least two goals but it's just not working for him.
6. They didn't have a ton of PPs while I was watching, but Kane is heavily missed. He's the creative engine for it.
7. Too much of the depth doesn't know what they need to be doing: Rasmussen is a passenger, Soderblom could've rocked Schaefer but held up, etc. Berggren has looked good the past few games but that's not much help.

Danielson got assigned to GR after coming off IR, had two primary assists in his first game back. Really hoping he gets a look in Detroit soon.

Cossa 3-0 1.67 .943 to start the year

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kane still out

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hamonic in the lineup

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Schenn blows a glorious chance

[Grand Moff Larkin]

This is not going well

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Blooze should be up 2-0

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Oskar Sundqvist Revenge Game?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Soderblom and Rasmussen were scratched for JVR and Hamonic

Ras getting scratched is encouraging in terms of Danielson getting the 4C soon

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Tough tripping call on JVR

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kyrou wrists one upstairs near the end of the PP

Mickey Redmond sounds rough tonight, go home early and rest up

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings hit the iron

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I forgot that this could also be a Pius Suter Revenge Game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

2-0 now, Faulk finds Neighbours’ stick in front

So much Blooze offensive zone time

[Grand Moff Larkin]

DeBrincat has hit the post twice

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Raymond with a good burst through the neutral zone and draws a slash

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Edvinsson to the box early in the second, Blooze get another PP goal, they have four total shots to the Blooze’s three goals
