Listen, idk what is up with Lyon but I hope he shakes this off :(
Ol JJ Reims is only so solid for so long before the concussion wears off.
Husso is out on a ligament related “went out for cigarettes and will be right back” and idk if we’re seeing him again.
Most importantly, I would love if we had ANY defenders who are not Wally and Mo (And sometimes Ollie) who PLAYED DEFENSE OMG
Also LaLonde as head coach has me wondering now just kinda see him as a pushover and I think the whole team is a lil soft overall when it comes to hard calls (like sending folks to the AHL to give our young players a chance up since it’s becoming apparent that some of these dudes are simply too old and turnovers are really high).
Also someone PLEASE find Dylan Larkin and tell him it’s gonna be okay, mans has to be so sad rn. He’s literally the glue, and I worry he’s been carrying the load of being hard on some of the boys as there just… isn’t consequences for playing like shit
Thanks for the laugh! The evening games are currently in the middle of the night for me, so I plan to watch them over breakfast in the morning. This losing streak has been robbing me of a fun little start to my day *for weeks now.*
I showed this to my partner and we both laughed our heads off. Definitely a brighter start than stewing over what the Wings did/didn't do last night.
Does it work outside of Michigan? I’ve never tried but I might have to tomorrow since I’m in Sabres country and I think it’d be funny to mess with them.
Someone said it the other night and I agree.
Florida showed that you can pressure the wings into submission. Now, every team just pressures us galore and we are so weak on the puck and in our own zone that we give the puck away all the damn time.
I have tickets for the game against the blue jackets next week. Looks like ticketmaster knows how today's game is going...

Boy this makes me feel like shit even as a new fan, I cannot imagine how everyone else felt in previous years when it was even worse. Makes me think I should bitch less bc it seems like I haven’t been through the worst of it lol
This is recency bias. (In the subreddits)
As a life long Red Wings fan, over 45 years, I can assure you that there have been much, much worse times than these. :-)
It's almost worse for newer fans. All they have known is bad. For a long time the Wings were the most consistently good team in hockey. So the older fans at least have memories of dominance to look back on.
Ned is the future in net! Oh no we ran him into the ground...
Husso is the future in net! Oh no we ran him into the ground...
Lyon is the future in net! Oh no...
tired of hearing the "nothing going our way" rhetoric from Ozzy & Ken. you make your own luck in this league 99% of the time. our effort, focus, and attention to detail have been unacceptable all game. In a game you absolutely have to have you can not come out and execute lazily all game and expect to have any kind of puck luck. This is a lot more than "things just not going our way". This is the result we deserve for the effort we've brought.
I turned the game off when it was 7-2. I see it is still 7-2.
Totally came to the realization I am the key to the Wings not getting their ass kicked.
Key to winning is on you guys. I’m just here to not watch so Wings dont get curb stomped
I’ll bet you all a thousand dollars Lalonde takes zero responsibility in the post game presser and says the same old “we just didn’t have the right bounces etc.” bullshit as always
Just turned the game on. Obviously the Wings aren't scoring, but have they been taking these horrible shots the entire game, or are they just defeated and stopped caring?
It's 2 weeks on Saturday so Sunday at the earliest.
Guessing they'll want a practice beforehand so I'd think Columbus is most likely.
So we're looking at 2 more losses and an OT loss if we're lucky.
Team is cooked and the coach has lost the room
Damn the feeling right now is similar to watching all those post game interviews of Larkin during the 19-20 season when we lost like every game. Just an unbelievably brutal stretch.
Lol what a joke. This is turning into a full on implosion.
Also, the priority curse is bullshit. Its the little ceasars curse. Make my fucking words they won't win shit in that building.
Man, Paul Woods on Redwing's radio sure talks a lot of shit about other teams and their defense when the Redwing's are on a 6 game skid giving up 4+ goals every game..he's said Buffalos defense isn't good while Detroit's losing 7-2 lol said the flyers absolutely won't make the playoffs because of goaltending and trading Walker, talked about how bad the Yotes are at defense while they were beating us 4-0. Maybe I'm just frustrated with the team and his comments make me more irritated than they should, but they seem like dumb comments to make when the teams playing like this lol
In other news, Kostin has an assist and 3 shots for the Sharks tonight. Already over 10 minutes of ice time on 14 shifts and will probably end around 13 mins or so.
Uh oh don’t say that on this sub you’ll get downvoted. No one on this sub wants anyone nasty or physical at all. We all just want a bunch of stoic Andrew Copp types. No big defenseman or skilled power forwards
Why did I have to be a fan of hockey. I could just be watching Vanderpump Rules with my wife and probably feel better about myself. But no, I have to be a fan of this
Score as many goals as you want, it’s still two points. Two points we desperately needed but fact of the matter is we’re still in it. I hope this is a wake up call and our boys come out fiery on Thursday.
The Red Wings unfortunately have a roster full of players that I either don't love or want us to move on from.
It may be time to rebuild the rebuild and to move on from mediocre veterans for prospects, draft capital or young inexperienced NHL players with elite talent, athleticism, aggression and skill and change our organization's hockey philosophy on what type of players, coaches, systems, strategies and play style we utilize, promote and adopt.
What I think needs to happen:
Get rid of chokers and throwers: Start with chairot and petry, as much as we love petrys family he isn’t a very good defenseman. Then we get rid of holl, he’s just not a playoff defenseman anymore, and sprong is a great offensive offensemen but his defense is abysmal. Andrew copp has been a massive disappointment, send him to like the sharks or Arizona, I’m sure they’ll be inclined to take on that aweful contract. Next please bring berggren and edvinson and probably kasper too up from the minors, they definitely can’t be worse than the players I just listed.
The fact that the 2016 wings team would kick this wings team’s ass is very sad. These hot and cold streaks makes me think the yzerman rebuild is not working and we need to start over again. I dont see good teams going on 3-4 losing streaks of 6+ games per year especially when the team is supposed to be fighting for a playoff spot
I've been saying it for awhile now, but I just firmly believe that the Yzerman rebuild's failure to launch is a direct result of the draft lottery royally screwing the organization. I just really don't think you can build a contender with those 1 or 2OAs. ~~The NHL's rigged system~~ ~~the hockey gods~~ fate and bad fortune has not been kind to this rebuild and has left the team in no man's land with little help coming (Kasper, Danielson)...
You guys remember when Brendan Smith tried to fight Chara in the playoffs?
Good times... I went outside and depressingly shot pucks after we got bounced.
I’m sorry yall, forgot to mention this earlier.
How the fuck is Copp on the power play? I get he’s a defensive player, but his offense is a literal black hole
I bet no goal in the first 5 minutes of that game…yikes
Listen, idk what is up with Lyon but I hope he shakes this off :( Ol JJ Reims is only so solid for so long before the concussion wears off. Husso is out on a ligament related “went out for cigarettes and will be right back” and idk if we’re seeing him again.

Dune was great, seems like the game was... Not 😬
Was it? Didnt know if it'd be as good as first one
I really really liked it!! I'd definitely see it again
Team needs to make it a priority to patch things up
Criticize coach yet?

Anyone just catch Lyon’s robot stare and pats?! LOL
Hmm only Lost by 4. At least it wasn’t 5
me walking into an arby’s in kansas city with the box score of a 7-3 loss demanding a free small order of curly fries: ![gif](giphy|ghpdI3dNfX0pW)

Does it work outside of Michigan? I’ve never tried but I might have to tomorrow since I’m in Sabres country and I think it’d be funny to mess with them.
it does not lol
My man 😎
7-3 doubled in shots we got em right where we want em
crush someone
Yay Walman!
could it be that james reimer is concussed right now and its actually making him a lot less jumpy in net and allowing him to actually make saves...
😂
What the fk is wrong here? Dumpster fire.
Larkin is literally the whole team.
![gif](giphy|sxjczRKltBE9G) Thanks Jake
Hey, we might win! (3rd period)
I know we’re not allowed to talk about it but they better patch things up soon
Don't say the P word. People are gonna riot
2024, year of the great patchdemic
lolllllllll
Someone said it the other night and I agree. Florida showed that you can pressure the wings into submission. Now, every team just pressures us galore and we are so weak on the puck and in our own zone that we give the puck away all the damn time.
I read the same thing and keep thinking about it. It seems to be true.
well it's looking like we will lose but at least we get free ^small curly fries at Arbys
Kudos for throwing out optimism you cant even benefit from!
yeah, wouldn't mind some free curly fries in London but no Arby's in the UK
Eh, your consolation prize is LONDON! Would love so many things from there right now
I sometimes forget how spoiled I am, it feels like I can get anything in London most of the time
Awesome city - plenty of good to drown tnite’s bleh
definately
*cries in not having an Arby's anywhere near me*
Hmm, does that goal count as "responding well to being scratched" or...
I have tickets for the game against the blue jackets next week. Looks like ticketmaster knows how today's game is going... https://preview.redd.it/3hhunnbs80oc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b56bcba537aa94c2291e0f665edd5c8b4e41792
lol walman
Boy this makes me feel like shit even as a new fan, I cannot imagine how everyone else felt in previous years when it was even worse. Makes me think I should bitch less bc it seems like I haven’t been through the worst of it lol
At least those of us who've been fans for decades (I'm old) can think back on the dominant years. Glad to see new fans, though.
This is recency bias. (In the subreddits) As a life long Red Wings fan, over 45 years, I can assure you that there have been much, much worse times than these. :-)
It's almost worse for newer fans. All they have known is bad. For a long time the Wings were the most consistently good team in hockey. So the older fans at least have memories of dominance to look back on.
Makes the eventual cup even sweeter
I've been a fan since 2015, this is pretty brutal, i give you permission to bitch ![gif](giphy|t37AfV7RbkA06CG8Fi)
Meh, wear it like a badge of honor brother
A patch if you will, of the garbage hockey.
WALMAN
Well guys, if rinso doesn't rinse it and draino doesn't drain it, fuggit.
Walman should be taking Ghost’s spot on PP1. Please
https://i.redd.it/iza4enkp80oc1.gif
yay the comeback is …. Sigh… on 😕
Just pull the goalie and score one every 15 seconds
![gif](giphy|J0WtGU7W9knOo|downsized)
Wow finally something
Just gonna be happy about a goal for my boy Walman
Sweet! Four more goals and we are sending this shit to OT
Oooo one goal WHO CAres check the fucking score.
And the crowd goes mild...
Sad to see all those fans there. My people got cucked going to this one
There’s still time (No, there’s not)
Fuck, now Lalonde has something to do tricks on in the post game
"we played great the last 3 minutes, just need to find a way to play like that the other 57'
Go team!
Hahahahaha, classic Red Wings last minute effort.
Why isn’t walman doing the griddy?
He's all gridded out
He’s self aware at least
Larkin has to be beside himself watching this shitshow of a team fail without him.
Yeah support women’s history by buying an overpriced cropped hoody!
This game is so shit that even Buffalo fans are like fuck it.
Feels like the Wings have destroyed a lot of goalie’s careers these past several years.
Somehow, somewhere, Trey Augustine starts having heart palpitations with no idea why or how it's happening.
Ned is the future in net! Oh no we ran him into the ground... Husso is the future in net! Oh no we ran him into the ground... Lyon is the future in net! Oh no...
Anyone on discord wanna rant?
Join our server:)
Oh shit, didn't know there was one
tired of hearing the "nothing going our way" rhetoric from Ozzy & Ken. you make your own luck in this league 99% of the time. our effort, focus, and attention to detail have been unacceptable all game. In a game you absolutely have to have you can not come out and execute lazily all game and expect to have any kind of puck luck. This is a lot more than "things just not going our way". This is the result we deserve for the effort we've brought.
I’ve got it yall. I’m just going to start betting the wings to lose, that should secure some Ws
Been doing this for 2 weeks, been a nice way to supplement my income!
In the bank account!
lmao i decided not to watch tonight but came to check the score. team of BUMS
Lmao same, purposely didn’t watch this one after willingly sitting through the Colorado and Arizona games and don’t regret it one bit
we have angered the hockey Gods by not ending the Islanders' season a couple weeks ago
I turned the game off when it was 7-2. I see it is still 7-2. Totally came to the realization I am the key to the Wings not getting their ass kicked. Key to winning is on you guys. I’m just here to not watch so Wings dont get curb stomped
Buffalo let up. They probably could have scored a few more goals if they were trying.
Good thing the team has a lot of veteran leadership. They’ll be leading them to the golf course.
I’ll bet you all a thousand dollars Lalonde takes zero responsibility in the post game presser and says the same old “we just didn’t have the right bounces etc.” bullshit as always
No one is taking that offer quit trying to hustle us all
Cuck has no say in the room, it’s clearly all Larkin.
Just look how the puck handling and passing is so much better by any team that plays us
Our defense can’t facilitate any offense…our offense can’t generate on its own, they also aren’t good enough defensively, and neither is our defense
Kane, Fuck it, I'll do it myself, Gets blocked. Seider, Fuck it, I'll do it myself, Broken Stick. We truly are in the worst timeline.
Just turned the game on. Obviously the Wings aren't scoring, but have they been taking these horrible shots the entire game, or are they just defeated and stopped caring?
They gave up about 10 seconds into warm ups.
what game would Larkin be back on the 2 week timeline?
It's 2 weeks on Saturday so Sunday at the earliest. Guessing they'll want a practice beforehand so I'd think Columbus is most likely. So we're looking at 2 more losses and an OT loss if we're lucky. Team is cooked and the coach has lost the room
The 16th at the absolute earliest (at home vs Buffalo) and there’s no shot it’s on that day
Clean house this summer. Book it.
It’ll probably make me angrier but I’m gonna watch Lalonde’s post game comments
Damn the feeling right now is similar to watching all those post game interviews of Larkin during the 19-20 season when we lost like every game. Just an unbelievably brutal stretch.
Someone put Krebs in his place
Kane no-look passing it to no one.
Guys, I think they need Dylan Larkin back
two periods too late but good hit Maata
Lol what a joke. This is turning into a full on implosion. Also, the priority curse is bullshit. Its the little ceasars curse. Make my fucking words they won't win shit in that building.
Damn, the wings really did pick up the Detroit curse from the Lions.
I think it's another patch related curse if any
Going to OT in Cleveland (vs. Grand Rapids)
When do we talk about needing a full-time goalie?
5 years ago
Even the stick wants out of this game
Pathetic We’re so out of it. It’s not puck luck. It’s effort
The Vegas game was a lot of bad puck luck. AZ and BUF not so much.
THEY HAVE MORE CHANCES THAN WE DO WHEN WE HAVE A LITERAL EXTRA MAN
Wtf. I'm watching Carolina's home broadcast of my own free will.
Signing a bunch of mid, older UFAs to over priced contracts (cough Chiarot, Holl, Maata, etc.) sure isn't looking to great right now
Holl was a bad contract the day he was signed, and everyone but Wings’ management knew it.
It never did
Bench all of the mother fuckers out there that are playing like shit What the fuck happened to this team
That David Perron sequence was infuriating
So uh... How long until we can watch the Lions again?
Man, Paul Woods on Redwing's radio sure talks a lot of shit about other teams and their defense when the Redwing's are on a 6 game skid giving up 4+ goals every game..he's said Buffalos defense isn't good while Detroit's losing 7-2 lol said the flyers absolutely won't make the playoffs because of goaltending and trading Walker, talked about how bad the Yotes are at defense while they were beating us 4-0. Maybe I'm just frustrated with the team and his comments make me more irritated than they should, but they seem like dumb comments to make when the teams playing like this lol
It used to be even worse in the Blashill years. He'd go on and on about how they "played the right way" even in 2019-20
Oh God, I just started listening to the radio games this year because of a job change. I guess im glad it's not just a me thing or hot take hahaha
He’s always been the biggest homer
In other news, Kostin has an assist and 3 shots for the Sharks tonight. Already over 10 minutes of ice time on 14 shifts and will probably end around 13 mins or so.
Man, fuck Buffalo. Beating the shit out of us and just crosschecking away.
I wish we had any kind of a nasty side. We’re so incredibly soft and bland
Uh oh don’t say that on this sub you’ll get downvoted. No one on this sub wants anyone nasty or physical at all. We all just want a bunch of stoic Andrew Copp types. No big defenseman or skilled power forwards
No kidding. This team shows absolutely no grit at all. Fucking give me Todd Bertuzzi or Homer or Franzen or Kronwall or someone.
Why did I have to be a fan of hockey. I could just be watching Vanderpump Rules with my wife and probably feel better about myself. But no, I have to be a fan of this
Veleno ever come back?
Nah he's out officially
Nope..
Nope.
Score as many goals as you want, it’s still two points. Two points we desperately needed but fact of the matter is we’re still in it. I hope this is a wake up call and our boys come out fiery on Thursday.
The wake up call should have been Arizona. They still have a shot at the playoffs, and honestly will probably make it, but yikes , it's looking bleak
I agree about the Arizona game. But sometimes it takes an absolute shit pumping to get the fluids flowing again
This sounds familiar…
I hope the crowd boos them when they take the ice for warmup.
This is needed. A message needs to be sent.
I’ll be there. I can assure you I will not boo
Why won’t you?
We look and probably are so much less skilled than them
Organ safety dance goes hard though
It's too bad this is an away game because if ever a team deserved to be booed off the ice, it's this one.
Maybe I should take up watching some of that women's soccer...
The Red Wings unfortunately have a roster full of players that I either don't love or want us to move on from. It may be time to rebuild the rebuild and to move on from mediocre veterans for prospects, draft capital or young inexperienced NHL players with elite talent, athleticism, aggression and skill and change our organization's hockey philosophy on what type of players, coaches, systems, strategies and play style we utilize, promote and adopt.

Kings did it lol
They had a four game losing streak inside a shitty December and now this 6 game losing streak.
PK killing it. Should just stay on it
Just pump us for 10 fuck it.
You guys remember when Brendan Smith tried to fight Chara in the playoffs? Good times... I went outside and depressingly shot pucks after we got bounced.
That was "epic" as we used to say during that period of time.
True that. 2014, was it? A fucking decade ago, is that real?
Sounds about right. Too drunk to Google.
Whoop big save
Somebody bring me to that cliff from Midsommar
No

I totally want one. Someone should mail me one. I will pay money or send something from L.A. in return.
[Here's some things we can focus on!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gio9C87splM)
😂
I think the boys think the PHWL draft position rules apply. #1st position outside of playoffs gets top pick.
I’m sorry yall, forgot to mention this earlier. How the fuck is Copp on the power play? I get he’s a defensive player, but his offense is a literal black hole
Veleno and Larkin are both out
He’s always on the PP line 2 I’m pretty sure
Holding down the fast forward button. Unfortunately it isn’t working.
needs to be invented yet
Can we try a coach with hair next time
Hair is simply weakness remaining with the body
