Mornin’, all! Hoping Larkin has a speedy recovery and the Wings tighten up in the captain’s absence.
Obligatory fuck Jamie Benn
I really hope Compher is back.
We can deal with either him or Larkin being out.
We can’t deal with both being out.
Is this on Bally’s?
Hoping that we do the Wingiest thing ever, and play up to beat Dallas after losing to two lesser teams in a row! 🤞 LGRW!
For a long time I thought the lack of draft luck and not getting a high-end 1C is what would hold this team back. However, considering the ABD and Kane moves, it appears Detroit may again be a destination for free agents. Maybe we add one that way or continue to role with the center depth mold ala LA Kings. Either way.
My wishing has shifted to goaltending. Even if we make playoffs, we’re going to be a quick and easy out until we solve that part of the puzzle.
With Larks and Compher potentially out I hope Dallas is resting otter
Really nervous about what a wings team without Larkin and compher would look like. Gonna need to play some serious team defense. A goalie is gonna have to step up and steal us a game or two.
On top of Larks being *assaulted*, everything else went off the rails last week and over the weekend. Some of the blatant intent to injure hits around the league were just insane.
Am I the only one who thinks these berrgy trade posts are not very reputable?
Not that I need to tell you regulars this since only the casuals who show up to bitch in game threads and then promptly disappear need to hear it, but probably best to temper the expectations for tonight. Hard to imagine any world where Larkin plays tonight, and Perron will certainly be out. Even though Perron is a blockhead, he’s still an important part of the team and we’ll feel his suspension on the ice. There’s no need to qualify the notion that we’ll miss Larkin because he’s our best player.
The Stars have had their ups and downs so far this season and actually it feels like they’re on a similar regular season trajectory to the Wings, so if the Wings had all their players, I would be expecting a good, close, somewhat even match up with them. With Larkin and Perron out, I’m not so hopeful. That’s especially true if Compher is also out.
Obviously, this should go without saying, but there were so many people in the game thread and after on Saturday saying that the Wings suck and going into full doomer mode because we lost. Of course the Wings sucked, they were playing with 9 forwards. Shitting on the team for that loss shows a failure to properly manage expectations.
HEY. lgrw
Fun fact: if you take away all of Gretzky’s goals, Mathieu Joseph is still a piece of shit.
Maybe we can be the trap team tonight
LGRW
The biggest perk of Larkin being out tonight is that Jamie Benn can’t break his neck with a crosscheck.
Fuck Jamie Benn.
Fuck Matt Joseph.
Dirty player another dirty hit on our most important player.
And its win-win for them. They knock out our captain and basically zero impact on their team if they lose him for one game or 20 games.
This is how you end up having Kostin hunt Stutzle and Tkatchuk, because the refs and the player safety board doesn’t see fit to appropriately meter out discipline.
What a shame.
After rewatching everything and having some time to cool down, I definitely understand why DP will be suspended. That being said, this could be an ugly stretch without him, Larkin, and Compher.
Had a dream we dealt Bergy and DP to Tampa for Cirelli and Motte last night. I should probably stay off Reddit before bed lol.
[according to the math, the wings gut this one out and win it in OT](https://old.reddit.com/r/DetroitRedWings/comments/1741dx3/i_used_math_to_predict_the_results_of_every_red/#:~:text=41/91-,OTW,-%2D)
Please be okay Dylan 🙁
**FUCK JAMIE BENN**
