Red Wings December 2025 Game Threads

[buddha]

might be the best win of the season.  they got outplayed in the second, but didnt give up ans stayed with one of the best teams in the league for the rest of the game.

fix the third pair at the deadline, get kane back healthy, KEEP RAYMOND AND LARKIN HEALTHY, and maybe you have something...

[gehringer_2]

Chippy game. I don't think these two teams like each other much.

But even some good shifts by Rasmussen early leading to the assist. But as the game went on I seemed to be progressively less aware of his presence.

3-on-3 OT hockey is the best idea the league has had in a long time. It’s still hockey but opening up the ice really does make it exciting and dangerous. I’d be willing to extend it to 10 minutes and drop shootouts entirely.

Good game. The Wings aren't going away. Larkin ties the game at 3 with a few minutes left in the 3rd.

 

 

 

Dude. That pass was unfair. Sure it was a nice finish by Larkin, but I can't believe that JVR wasn’t the center of that celebration.

between the trip to the trainers room and the bad penalty that let the Stars get the lead JVR probably has some mixed feelings on his night.

especially when your team has Dylan Larkin. I don't know if there is a 3 on 3 first line in the league any better than Larkin, Seider and Raymond.

And then you can roll Kane, Cat and Simon..or ASP

Don't know where to put this, so I'll just dump it here;

Grew up accross from a park with a big pond that we played pond hockey on in the winter.  I painted number 20 on the outer heel of my skates to emulate Mickey

Gibson looks like **** so far tonight.

Multiple rebounds in which he had his glove on the puck but it squeaks out in front of him and somehow...

2nd and 3rd attempts are just... missing.

Seider saved a goal with a redirect over the net. The side of the net saved us a goal. And Gibson scrambled for control back over those other squibbler rebounds. He needs to get on top of his glove/ puck control and stop relying on Lady Luck... Please.

But...

Anyways...

Thank you, Lady Luck.

Now can we go out and try to win this game guys?

[1984Echoes]

Because it's still 0-0 after all those near misses...

[1984Echoes]

Gibson = faked out to the far right of the net = Hurricane missed the wide open left of the net.

Again... thank you Lady Luck.

Oh... and the Red Wings just scored!

So SWEET!

Ras scores...

Would be nice to give him one or two more playoff runs. Can't imagine he has a lot of years in the booth left. 

[1984Echoes]

Losing 2-1 early in the 2nd...

No more Lady Luck.

They're outshooting us 22-7 so far...

Might want to start there.

3-1 end of the 2nd. Carolina is dominating.

[lordstanley]

Ugly 2nd period but the Wings have clawed one back in the 3rd. 3-2 Carolina with 13 minutes to go.

[buddha]

welp, carolina has been a bad matchup for detroit for a while.

[gehringer_2]

4 goals scored against Larkins line. Yikes.

[lordstanley]

No surprise losing to the East's top team. Nip things in the bud with a win over the Leafs tomorrow.

[lordstanley]

Seider ties the Leafs 1-1 late in the 2nd. 

[sagnam]

Edvinsson taking that shot to the skate and not being able to get to his feet was very concerning.

[gehringer_2]

Maple leafs make it 2-1 on some weak play in their own zone by Chairot and ASP.

Edited December 29, 2025 by gehringer_2

[lordstanley]

Down go the Leafs! Overtime winner for Edvinsson

[buddha]

suck it, leafs.

[Shinzaki]

Simon and Mo...quite possibly the league's best pairing.
