lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Kicks off with a game against Florida at the LCA on Saturday afternoon. 9 of 14 games this month will be on the road. Edited March 2, 2024 by lordstanley Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Where I work we can win free tickets weekly to the Wings games, so I usually go when I win them. Didn't win any this week though. Today, I looked at going down to LCA and the cheapest seats are $170 a piece plus service fees on gameday. Bleep that. Also we have the dreaded back-to-back coming up on the schedule. At least one of the games is against Arizona. Edited March 2, 2024 by Mr.TaterSalad Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 5 minutes in and the Wings have had a couple of golden chances, including put the puck into the net only to have it quickly and correctly waved off Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Not often you see half a period with only one shot on goal each. Edited March 2, 2024 by lordstanley Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 Is it true that the Panthers obtained only two players on their roster - Ekblad and Barkov - through the draft? Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 Bobrovsky lost his stick while the Wings were on a powerplay, but the Wings couldn’t take advantage Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) Down 1-0, the Wings need to kill off this penalty with 9 minutes left in the 2nd. Nope, Florida scores with 2 seconds left in it. Edited March 2, 2024 by lordstanley Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 I’m not aware of a site that breaks down a team’s season performance by period, but it seems the Wings are not a good 2nd period team. 2-0 Florida after 2 Quote
buddha Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 this is what the playoffs are going to look like. Quote
lordstanley Posted March 2, 2024 Author Posted March 2, 2024 Florida is completely shutting down the Wings. 1 Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 2, 2024 Posted March 2, 2024 Well, we're fighting today, but we're not scoring. Quote
Sports_Freak Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 A losing streak heading into the trade deadline. I've seen this movie before. Quote
1984Echoes Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 Yeah, they might again be proving that they are not yet ready to play against the big boys... But I'd like to see them get in the playoffs, even so... Quote

Apparently, the Wings have outscored their opponents 75-68 in the 2nd period. I woulda said no way! https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/DET/2024_situational.html 1 Quote
1984Echoes Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 PS: Rumor mill is that Steve is willing to trade a defenseman but... only if it results in an upgraded defenseman in return... Not certain how that would work out for us... Quote

Shinzaki Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 They're a playoff team...just not an elite playoff team. Need to get better at handling chippy, physical play. Refs were awful...flat out ignored a lot of interference, cross checking and tripping calls...but you have to be ready for that. Chiarot and Petry...might work as a third pair. Hanifan would be a great addition to the top 4...but we need a decent RHD for that pair. Unless you go with 2 LHD on the 2nd pair. Worked with Stuart and Lidstrom Quote
1984Echoes Posted March 3, 2024 Posted March 3, 2024 I'd rather have Hanifan with Seider I think. Over Walman, even though I like Walman. What we'd really be trying to match up is Walman and...? Who as the 2nd pair? I can live with Chiarot-Petry as the 3rd pair. Too bad Edvinsson is not RH'ed. Or can Walman play on his off-hand? Or even Maatta on a temporary basis? I still like Maatta quite a bit as a 3rd pair or emergency 2nd pair guy.. but he's also LH'ed... Quote
lordstanley Posted March 7, 2024 Author Posted March 7, 2024 What are we waiting for? Start the game! Quote

slothfacekilla Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 Fabbri on the power play!! Their pp looked good there. Quote
buddha Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 they can barely keep the puck against colorado. the defense cant move it out of the zone. that's why you dont trade the future this year for an upgrade. theyre still a long way from being a contender. Quote
lordstanley Posted March 7, 2024 Author Posted March 7, 2024 Avs skating circles around the Wings. Lucky to be tied 1-1 with 7 minutes left in the 1st. Quote
