Thee Official 2024-25 Detroit Red Wings Thread: Maybe score more than one goal? I don’t know

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings could get the seventh-worst record, by my estimation, if this trend continues (it will)

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I stopped watching after the fifth goal but checked the score while watching college basketball. When they got within two again, I thought “Hm,” and with 2:30 left I loaded it on my phone. The video started and Eichel put it in the empty net. Fantastic.

i did basically the exact same thing. its a shame since i dont get wings games regularly so i was excited to be able to watch

slightly more optimistic about them maybe slowing down a bit than i would have been if lalonde was still here and trying to save his job

First time seeing the Utah Hockey Arena and man there are a lot of obstructed seats

Petry is back in for Lagesson

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Mrazek made a great save on a Guenther rush but hurt himself in the process, headed to the room

Both Guenther and Hayton ran into him

Lyon in

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Hayton with a knee to the head of Mrazek, oof

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Motte with a dumb trip after some good forechecking

Not sure what he’s arguing, that’s a penalty 100% of the time

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Guenther wide open on the far side, three Wings behind the goal line

Feel for Lyon

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Tarasenko gets the pass through to Elmer on a 2 on 1 and the big guy does not miss

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Pretty clear hold on Motte behind the net

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Moving Maatta is an underrated fuck-up, given how much has been said about dumping Walman. Imagine if they’d picked up a Maatta at the deadline and been able to sit Gustafsson or Holl.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Assuming that Kane comes back, the Wings really need another top-six winger. Ras is filling the slot with Raymond and Larkin right now but that’s above his depth.

Ideally

Raymond / Larkin / Ehlers
Kane / Kasper / DeBrincat
Tarasenko / Compher / Elmer
Copp / Ras / Mazur
Berggren

Don’t know if Lombardi, Danielson, or Mazur will get spots next year but ideally at least one spot would be for one of those guys.

Seider Too Much Air

For the love of god, kill off a penalty

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Great save by Lyon on Schmaltz

Chiarot’s stick was broken so the faceoff helps a lot

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Utah gets away with a clear too many men, then they don’t get away with a high stick on Larkin

[Grand Moff Larkin]

PP seems discombobulated so far

[Grand Moff Larkin]

That was a waste of two minutes

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings with a real gong show of a last 1:30

Guenther whining to the ref about a stick on stick check from Seider

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Wings with all of two shots in the period

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kasper scores, uh, somehow?

Bounced it in off Crouse’s shinguard
