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

[Grand Moff Larkin]

So a lot happened, both in the game and my understanding of it

- Kasper scored again to make it 3-1
- The Kings pull their goalie and score twice in the final three minutes to tie it
- Fiala seemingly wins it in OT, but he'd skated through the crease and bumped into Talbot before getting the puck. The Wings challenge for goalie interference and win it
- The Wings have to kill a penalty to close out OT
- Raymond scores the only goal in the shootout, Wings win after all

I woke up at 1:30am to pee, checked the game, Yahoo said the Wings lost 4-3 in OT. But the shootout stuff was mislabeled and the Wings only had two guys shoot so I was confused.

I woke up again at 2:30am because Gordie had barfed in his crate and was whimpering about it. I took him out for a walk because the last time that had happened, he had major diarrhea, but this time it was just wanting me to clean up the barf. After I did that, i checked the score again, saw the Wings actually won, and consulted Bluesky for how that happened.

Consecutive games allowing a shorthanded goal, woof

[Grand Moff Larkin]

And now Ras takes a slashing penalty

This one could get away from them quickly

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Essential kill there

Then Larkin springs Raymond for a break and he buries it

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper’s pass gets deflected at one end, ends up as a Ducks 3 on 2 at the other end that Carlsson buries

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I don’t think the Ducks are very good defensively so the Wings will probably score more, but they’ve gotta stop giving the Ducks odd man rushes

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ducks almost got one as the period expired

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Not sure why Trouba is getting chances down low but I’d rather him there than Kreider

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kreider to the box almost immediately to start the second

To his credit he went straight there and didn’t complain

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Tons of chances / possession on that PP but no goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Mo ties it on a juicy rebound from Kasper

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Challenging for offside

BOOO

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I do not understand what they’re challenging, since it was onsides

A kick?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I do not get how that was a kicking motion

[Grand Moff Larkin]

McTavish makes it 3-1

Bad communication between ASP and Compher

Brutal going from what would have been a tie game to a two-goal deficit

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Seider gets a hold for taking down Sennecke as he fell

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Larkin gets a breakaway and draws a slashing call

I thought it might be a penalty shot

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Copp takes a hooking penalty

Chiarot could’ve gone for interference/holding

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Zellweger takes down Soderblom with a stick jammed into the boards, and he does NOT go to the box without complaint

[Grand Moff Larkin]

DeBrincat goals in four in a row

I was just thinking “I won’t stay up if they’re down two”
