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

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Edvinsson goes for slashing, let's see if they're capable of killing one off

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Bertuzzi scores early on it

Fuuuuuuck

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Finnie draws a trip, nearly a penalty shot

Simply cannot win an important draw

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Detroit has 35 shots and 1 goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

My desire to listen to a Red Wings podcast after two home losses in which they scored one goal in each game... pretty limited! And yet!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Anyway they play the Ducks again tonight, and the lines in practice have been

Raymond / Larkin / DeBrincat
Kane / Compher / Finnie
Kasper / Danielson / Appleton
Rasmussen / Copp / JVR

Will that change anything? Who knows! I assume Talbot starts tonight because he's been better this season.

Gibson gets another Revenge Game against the Ducks

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ducks had 1:20 of zone time to start the game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

JBD in for Hamonic
Berggren starting over Soderblom and JVR

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper with a good look and crashes the net, something the Wings need to do

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings are 3rd in xG and 25th in actual goals

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Terry left wide open in front during a 4 on 4 but Gibson comes up huge

[Grand Moff Larkin]

It’s amazing that the Wings were as shitty as they were and drafted 4th at the highest, and the Ducks have a 2 and two 3 overall guys

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Helleson puts Larkin in a headlock for… being near Dostal, and the bad Wings PP gets a chance

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Rasmussen is out there

Hmmm

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ras, Kasper, DeBrincat, Kane, ASP

It’s different at least

Cat with a hard backcheck to eliminate a shorthanded 2 on 1

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Anaheim has had two great scoring chances

The PP is somehow worse now

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Sennecke came in on Gibson, Berggren of all guys shoved him into the goal, gets the only penalty

You need to defend your goalie, gotta kill this one

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Great read by Seider

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Now Sennecke and Edvinsson go for shoving each other before a draw
