January 2024 Game Threads

[lordstanley]

Need to turn the page on the dreadful December. 

The Wings aren't out of it, but they've gone from banking points to digging themselves a hole.

Sharks may have just tied it at 1 late in 1st. Play is under review but I think it is a flukey but valid goal. 
 

Confirmed.

Confirmed. 

Almost had the lead as Matta gets his jock handed to him by Hoffman but the shot doesn't quite trickle in.

Ozzie hard to listen too tonight. Jet-lagged?

[gehringer_2]

Gostisbehere with Chariot not working.

Think the Wings can actually get a win by only scoring 3 goals? 2-2 now.

Wings D needs to be rebuilt again starting with Seider. None of the rest of them are worth Zamboni spit.

3-2 Sharks. You could see that coming for the last 3-4 minutes. Sharks were way over pressing and the Wings couldn't make them pay at all.

Nope, they will need to score 4 or more. Trail 3-2 with 10 minutes to go. 

[lordstanley]

Perron ties it.

Wings wake up a little on the PP and get one back

These are not good teams. 

[gehringer_2]

and then Larkin takes a stupid penalty

inescapable conclusion.

[lordstanley]

Larkin scores as he is falling down! 90 seconds away from first regulation win since December 12. Or maybe credited to Perron.

can they hang on?....

[gehringer_2]

Ras ENG. Should do it.

[lordstanley]

Rasmussen for the block and goal into the empty net with 6 seconds to to. 
Raymond with 3 assists tonight. 
5-3 Wings. 

[gehringer_2]

good to win but the team D is just deteriorating by the night. Lalonde needs to start singing them a new song or something.

I hope these guys realize they are playing themselves itself into another big deadline firesale by Yzerman.

I just don't see any improvement under Lalonde.

[lordstanley]

Can't argue with the production of a healthy Fabbri. Gets the WIngs on the board, but trailing the Kings 2-1 with 7 minutes left in the 2nd.

IDK. They play a much different game under Lalonde - potentially a better style IMO, but they seem to be getting sloppier whereas Blashill's team's mostly just seemed outclassed all over the ice. 

[gehringer_2]

The first LA goal is typical. Either Ras or Holl could have stayed in front of the man but they both let him go by, so Maata is forced to leave the net to pick him up and Veleno doesn't pick the man in front when Maata vacates. Kings didn't have an odd man rush but the Wings effectively played it into one.

[lordstanley]

Wow, 3 straight goals, I didn’t see that coming. 3-2 Wings with 7 minutes to go in regulation.

Looked like the Wings might cruise to victory as the Kings didn’t threaten for several minutes. But a wristler ties it 3-3 with 4 minutes to go.
