December 2023 Games

Some lazy defense from Seider leads to a tying goal, unreal bounce off the end boards right to Hertl in front.  I guess you can't expect that bounce but I'd like to see the Wings' defense with better positioning there

The worst team in the league that won't score 5 goals over there next 3 games after this. Ugggggghhh, gotta pull this one out.

To be fair the Sharks have scored 5+ in their last three games before this, I have a feeling teams get too relaxed against them

[slothfacekilla]

Embarrassing loss, I didn't even get to see it I just had to listen to it from the other room!

[lordstanley]

That didn't take long. 6-5 loss in OT.

Win or lose, Lalonde surely would have had a stiff talking-to the team tomorrow.

[buddha]

what a ****ing stupid game.

I was at the game. When the wings scored goals 2-4 they weren’t even done announcing them when SJ scored their 3rd goal.

Exciting at least. Have you been to any Pistons game this season? Must feel like two different arenas with the opposite trajectories of the home teams. I was listening on the NHL app on my phone in the grocery store, so a bit delayed, the 3rd Wings goal was being reviewed, yet the app's scoreboard was already showing 4-0. 30 seconds after my radio caught up to 4-0, I got a text from my uncle saying 4-3!!!

I have been to 2 Pistons games and yes, it's an entirely different atmosphere, unless it's all about the other team.  This is my first wings game this season.  Man, I hope my connection doesn't retire soon like he says.  It spoils the hell out of me having access to his company's suite.  It's not fancy in terms of food/drink but I dont care.  Being able to sit comfortably with a bathroom a few feet away.... that will be hard to give up.   I'm trying not to get too used to it but I've been blessed to go to 4-5 games a year there since it opened. Right inside the blue line.

A business contact of mine used to have season tickets here in Vancouver 5 rows up in the upper bowl, on the aisle, right at centre ice, about 5 ft from the ramp into the concourse. Perfect! He said when he’d give them away to clients, now and then  he sensed some disappointment when they found out they weren’t in the lower bowl.

Micky said it best (paraphrasing)... You haven't been good enough long enough to assume anything.

Hopefully, that lesson was learned

Weird use by the Wings of the 5 on 3. Seems like just a matter of time before Lane scores

[lordstanley]

I guess he took a couple of gloves to the neck, maybe the knob of the stick in one of them. But he went down like a ragdog. i saw him on the ice facedown and before the replay I thought he had had a heart attack or something.

yeah the way he was spread out  face down was weird

[Toddwert]

maybe its just hockey but the ken and Mickey are more worried about the penalties then whats wrong with Larkin

I'm still a bit shaken, to be honest. I guess all's well that ends well. 

[lordstanley]

Kane looks way better way sooner than I expected. I guess the question is whether his health can hold up.

[lordstanley]

Where's Reimer these days? 

[buddha]

joesph again.  when is one of the red wings going to run this guy?  he's gone after larkin multiple times.

[lordstanley]

Rough 2nd period. 4-1 Sens. 

[ben9753]

This team’s goaltending is a problem. Not going to go very far giving up 4 or 5 every night. 

[motownblues]

There just not good enough  to sustain a top level of play  for any sustained period of games.
