Red Wings February 2026 Game Threads

[sagnam]

Went to bed early so tried watching today. After Larkin getting speared in the nuts went uncalled but the retaliatory slash did I gave up. Larkin needs to do better, but dirty **** like nut shots on a face off needs to be caught real time. It’s the bare minimum. What should have been a 4-on-4 turned into a 5-on-3 and a 2 goal deficit.

I was only able to watch like five minutes of the game and this is what I managed to catch!  I was not happy haha

A turning point for sure. Then Kasper being stopped on a shorthanded breakaway right after the 2-0 goal.

Didn’t even know that happened.

Do you feel like we are headed into a similar situation as the last few seasons where we falter down the stretch in late February and March or do you feel this team, this year, is better positioned to close out the season strong? Where are you at given how we've played heading into the Olympic break?
