Game 58: Red Wings at wild 8:00 pm et 2/25/25

Quiet GDT tonight

To quote Marsha Brady, ahem, "I BARELY GOT MY BOX READY FOR TONIGHT'S GAME!!"

 

[izlez]

While they are big games, I don't think it's make or break time just yet

What?? Pretty sure every game has been must win for 50 games now

 

[Henkka]

What?? Pretty sure every game has been must win for 50 games now

They are not must wins. Just keep the .700 record like we are doing under McLellan.

 

[KJoe88]

We need one of the two games against CBJ. For sure.

Huge win tonight.

Have a goodnight boys and girls

 

[GMR]

This is a pleasant surprise. They were down 2-0 when I last checked the boxscore. Serves Minnesota right.

 

[Chris Langlois]

Ed showing why he should be on the pp. He almost looked similar to Lidstrom with those clappers. That's what I want to see on our pp. Great game all around by him despite AJ not having his best game.

Mo was really good tonight. I love when he forces a guy with the puck into the neutral zone.

Larkin was clearly tired and off his game tonight. Lots of giveaways and missed passes. Day off will be good for him tomorrow.

Elmer also looked fantastic tonight and todd clearly trusts him having him out there so late.

The pk has to get fixed going forward. Onto 2 huge games. It'd be hugeee if the wings could somehow win both. I'll be there Thursday to cheer them on! Go Wings!

Marco Rossi read all @The Zetterberg Era ’s comments from the 2020 draft and said f*** the wings specifically. Dude has been killing us.

Really happy we didn't entertain him at #4, he is no Raymond.

I am surprised he has scored at this rate in the NHL, gets underneath the trees, I really didn't see his power game translating up given how tiny he is, good on him.

Big W love to see them come through in the end, go Simon

 

[theYman]

Great come back win! We got our revenge. McClellan was like nope we ain't gonna f*** this one up boys. Locked it down in regulation.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Nice win, but we really felt the loss of Copp and Ras. They’ve been two of our better defensive and steady forwards for years now and maybe this gets some people to notice.

Rasmusson certainly seems to be finding his way at C lately, good to see.

[JediOrderPizza]

Good stuff, keep on rolling.

 

[Lampedampe]

Interesting to see ice-times, looks like Todd rolled the top-9 quite equally. Compher actually had more icetime than Larkin.

Very nice to see Kasper leading the forwards in ice-time at 19:00, he fully deserved it.

It's good to see that Debrincat is stepping up lately, especially with the first line not looking too hot 5on5. Hopefully Tarasenko can start potting a few on the 3rd line, i thought they had some good looks but they weren't a 100% gelling either.

This is a great opportunity for Veleno to step up, i don't have too high hopes, but at times he shows flashes.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

Good night for the kids, Edvinsson with a pair, Kasper, Johansson and Elmer with an assist tonight. We are beating good teams on the road which is a big change from previous seasons. Give us playoffs!

I’ll admit Raymond was the right choice but Rossi always played like he had that dog in him. I never doubted that kid’s work ethic.

lol


If you ain't first, your last

We now have the face of the new gigachad.

 

[14ari13]

The wilds road record is far better than their home record. They stole the win on the road against us, but so did we at their barn. 3 points in those 2 games is great

 

[FabricDetails]

Quiet GDT tonight

Yeah I missed this one. Am actually surprised we didn't have 10 overreactionary pages after the 1st period alone.

 

[chances14]

Nice to see the wings winning and not having to rely on Larkin to carry the team every single night. Big difference from last year's team

Marco Rossi read all @The Zetterberg Era ’s comments from the 2020 draft and said f*** the wings specifically. Dude has been killing us.

I was watching a lot of scouching back then so was high on him as well. Wanted DRW to take him fourth. Dude is built like a bull dog and cerebral playmaker. Raymond has proven to be a tier above so far but rossi has significantly upped his game over the last year. some run way left for both to improve.

GOAT-ed thumbnail, awood40.

 

[DamonDRW]

huge bombs from the blue line by Ed. We didn't have a defenseman with a shoot like this since Niklas Lindstrom retired.

 

[RabidBadger]

Turnabout is fair play. Turns out in order to beat the Wild you need to trail 2-0.

Yeah, it's a real bitch blowing a two goal lead at home. Gotta feel for them

 

[Henkka]

Rasmusson certainly seems to be finding his way at C lately, good to see.

Veleno was weak as 3rd C, and I hope Rasmussen will be soon there.

Kasper - Larkin - Raymond
DeBrincat - Compher - Kane
Söderblom - Ras - Tarasenko
Motte - Veleno - Fischer

This should be it, when Rasmussen will return.

And only different thing I would try, would be putting Ras on the 2nd line, where Copp was, and Compher back to 3rd C, just to create depth. Ras plays more same game as Copp did, and that did fit well between Cat and Kane. With Compher, it isn't the same.

This is now Rasmussen's greatest career chance. Copp has been his mentor how to be "andrewcopp" and now it's time for the apprentice.

I was watching on my phone and it's not as easy to post and watch that way.
