From @brianfisherlorw.bsky.social “Interesting note to start the season: - #LGRW  are 10th in shot attempt share at 5v5 (CF%) - 12th in shot share at 5v5 - Yet they're 30th in PDO DET is off to a hot start, and the PDO suggests that's been WITH bad luck. PDO almost always comes back near 100%”

Seider should be embarrassed. That goal is squarely on him, lets them back in the game and all cause he wanted to be lazy.

I just saw Michael Rasmussen protect a puck down low behind the net using his size and dish it up front for a goal. Have I died, BlueSky? #LGRW

His contract is the only one that could slide and they still haven’t moved out some of the passengers (trade market has been frozen) and need room for Danielson AND Mazur. It stinks, cause he wasn’t a problem like Rasmussen, but it makes sense from a logistical standpoint. #LGRW

It’s because they have a Cat. And an Ed? Anyway, shit talk will continue until morale improves

I’m glad I am out of town and not able to watch this pudding soft Red Wings team. No idea what needs to change at this point. Can’t fire the coach again, and coach isn’t the problem. You can’t fix no dawg. Team has none of them. #LGRW

If you don’t want to play with fire or compete, you can be shown the door. Pure and simple. Enough of the scared, baby deer, passenger bullshit.

A lot of blame to go around there, but I am SO DONE with Michael Rasmussen. Jesus fucking Christ how lazy can you be?

Bad pass by Copp & 77 gets tied up and beaten in a battle, immediate odd man rush, down 2 rip. Bad hockey.

Bump

77 might need a night in the press box.

Gotta be honest here… didn’t even realize the mafia was still a thing

Boy I tell you what man, 27 is this big, big sumbitch, but a slight breeze could knock his ass over. I reckon you get your ass kicked for being that big and being soft as a marshmallow on an August day, man, I tell you what.

Gross. Hopefully they flush it. Abysmal all around. Not sure a single player had a good game.

Guess which one of these players won a board battle in the corner.

Case in point. That hit isn’t close to a penalty, and the league is so soft right now, everyone wants to fight a clean hit 🤷‍♂️

And then Gibson lets in a muffin. Gonna need another call out lol. Poor games will happen, but this is the second time on the road they’ve been dummied and Buffalo is a *far* cry from Toronto.

And honestly, not absolving the effort, but the refs have been soft as hell in favor of Buffalo tonight.

They have to move on from 27 & 37. Just absolute passengers, even though 37 made a play tonight. 27 is as soft as butter left on the counter for an hour.

They look like dog shit

JT Compher?! Uhh, u like what you see @ Vancouver Canucks

Red Wings vs a goalie making his first NHL start. What could possibly go wrong?

Very happy for my Jays fans friends.

They were slightly beat in the 3rd period, but nowhere near what happened in the Tampa game. They’re not only winning, but the underlying data is saying they’re performing — even getting some bad puck luck w/ goals — AND winning. It’s sustainable 👀

Emmitt Finnie’s belly button is named Femmitt Innie.

It’s always two dumb J.T. Compher’s telling each other “exactlyyyy”

27 & 37

Finnie plays such a simple game, but that’s why it works so well. Fast & extremely efficient skater, plays north-south & doesn’t cheat any part of his game/effort. Was a drafting gem Detroit needed in the rebuild.

That Larkin-Chiarot goal was something special, boy howdy

Day 6 of the worst head cold & cough I’ve ever had, and I’m afraid if it continues much longer, I’m going to have to have one of you take me to a farm up north and shoot me.

O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

You’ll never believe what sitting back in a defensive shell for the entire period did to them.

Wings won the 1st, dominated the 2nd, and now getting their ass handed to them on a silver platter in the 3rd. Pray the shell doesn’t bite them.

AXELLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

What a PK, my lord.

Finnie is a hall of famer. I’ve seen enough.

Danielson is taking Compher’s spot as soon as he’s healthy. Compher (and MBN/Copp) got absolutely hemmed in by a patchwork line 2 from Tampa. And I feel like it’s 37 bringing them down.

And they win with 2 seconds left in OT. I am going to have to purposefully burn a baguette in protest.

Montreal is at it again. Just somehow never stay dead. At some point the levee should break, but no… never does.

First in the Atlantic as we all expected

Not as bad as I thought, but still matched what our eyes said.

So, the Wings in three games have outplayed their opponent in two games and got mollywhopped today. Stole this one, lost to Montreal. That’s the way she goes some times. Biggest thing is not losing Raymond for any sort of extended time.

Appleton with the Game Winner!!!!

I’ve run the numbers and they definitively say it would be good for everyone if the Red Wings win this hockey game.

Refs bailout again

I’m not going to make any sweeping conclusions after one game. There’s a *lot* to like under the hood, even though the scoreboard didn’t reflect it. They outhit them, outshot them, the fancy stats heavily favor Detroit & this backs that up from an analytical standpoint.

Booed off ice and it took 40 minutes of the regular season.

Jesus. Christ. #LGRW

Ok, bad turnover, missed defensive assignment, breakaway goal for the opposing team - Red Wings hockey is definitely back
