GDT: Game 69: Red Wings vs bjs 7:00 pm et 3/19/24 (ESPN+, BSD)

[Henkka]

Is this a record for smallest forward group ever in the NHL?

Perron 6'1 - Compher 6'0 - Raymond 5'11
DeBrincat 5'7 - Veleno 6'1 - Kane 5'10
Berggren 5'11 - Copp 6'0 - Fischer 6'2
Fabbri 5'11 - Czarnik 5'9 - Sprong 6'0

Palat 6'0 - Point 5'10 - Kucherov 5'11
Killorn 6'1 - Cirelli 5'11 - Stamkos 6'1
Goodrow 6'2 - Gourde 5'9 - Coleman 5'11
Maroon 6'3 - Johnson 5'8 - Paquette 6'0

Yes, it's a little bit smaller, than latest 2-time Stanley Cup winner.

And replacing Czarnik with Larkin makes it equal.

Adding Rasmussen makes Red Wings bigger.

One game.

Does he gotta be dressed? I dunno.

He's been called up for 3, Art and Steve both said he was four away. But he was healthy scratched the last two games.

 

[RedWingzz]

all the other "must wins" were more like "we could really use a win", but this one here is a "must win".

If we cant beat this roster at home with our playoff lives in desperation, then it's not happening.

Listening to Art is mistake number one.

He got called up 5 games ago.
He's played 3 of them.
He's at 79 games total.
80 games is the magic number.

It's about the one time Art made a solid observation lol. Yzerman agreed with it.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Must-win. Should-win. You better win, dammit.

 

[The Red Line]

Yikes that lineup is brutal without Larkin, Ras, Walman, though I am excited for Edvinsson.

Really, really need this win. We actually got lucky during the past 8 games that none of the other bubble teams really stepped up, but Washington is now very much in the mix and we can't afford to lose any more "easy" games against bottom dwellers.

 

[lilidk]

If we lose tonight I won't be watching til next season ( this is a complete lie but we can't lose this game!)

If we lose tonight Lalonde (not going to happen), should be fired

Game 69 against the BJs means that "Plausible Keats" should write itself.

I don't think Keats would go THAT blue. And I don't want Bench to have to shake his finger at me.

 

[dalem177]

"When players hit a bad patch, we often say that they are "on the schneid", and that term is purported to be based on the German word for tailor - "schneider". The entire Red Wings team is certainly on a big schneid of late, and whether it's based on a term for getting one's bank roll trimmed or cut - maybe by tailor's scissors - from card games like Skat or Gin Rummy, or not, fans at tonight's game certainly hope they'll see some Blue Jackets getting trimmed to size by Detroit's scissors."

- Plausible Keats

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Those defense pairings...

I'd prefer Maatta with Mo...but honestly, however you put em together, it's gonna be at least one disaster pairing

 

[FMichael]

Pretty much sums things up...

Animal Crackers and Hi-C served outta sippy cups during intermissions...

Are we talking ecto cooler? Are the animal crackers frosted? Important information

 

[Konnan511]

Ewwwww:
Perron-Compher-Raymond

 

[nbwingsfan]

Ewwwww:
Perron-Compher-Raymond

It’s laughable how sad hour forward group looks like out Larkin.

The overall situation reminds me of this:

 

[Gniwder]

The overall situation reminds me of this:

Well to be fair, the end of our playoff hope is near. A couple more losses, and this team will need to win every game when DBoss returns..... if he returns.

 

[Realgud]

Between the recent team performance, the lack of goalscoring from the top players and the threads talking about him on the main board, I'm going to predict a cat-trick from Debrincat.

Thank me later.

So he's gonna cough up a hairball (or worse yet throw up a dead bird), piss in someone's skates, then bite someone?

 

[SoupGuru]

The offense is going to step up and pour in the goals.

Also, our goaltending shit the bed.

Wings lose 6-7

more like cough up a hairball, piss in someone's skates... and score 3 goals!

 

[dalem177]

Been sick all day with some kind of 24 flu thing.

I could use a hard-played game for a pick-me-up. Honestly not even a win - just play like they care.

 

[Ezekial]

I don't mean to shit on plausible keats but I think you've used the on the schneid bit already.
