Red Wings March 2026 Games Thread

[lordstanley]

Upon us is the dreaded March. Wings are 4th in the Atlantic, 7th in the East, 5 pts up with 2 games in hand on 9th place Washington. 22 Wings games to go in the regular season. 
 

14 games this month. 5 of the first 7 are on the road, then 5 of the 7 are at home.

2:00 PM Monday games to appease European TV suck!

That goal called off for the Preds was so funny, Bunting was standing in the crease with his hands up like that would negate him being there

[buddha]

given that schedule, this is kind of a must win game.

[lordstanley]

Tied at 1 after 1. Yes, need 2 points today.

****, Talbot in to start the second.  It would not be good to lose Gibson for any sort of extended time.

Sebastian Cossa come on down?

I hope Gibson is just finishing a bathroom break! Happened to Luongo once during 2OT in a playoff game.

every march a key wing gets hurt and they spiral right out of the playoff race.

it's what happens when you haven't been able to build enough depth. The difference now is that if Gibson is down, at least there is a chance Cossa is good.

Awful play all around by Edvinsson

and Copp had turned back up ice thinking Moritz is going to make the outlet pass, ends up leaving his man wide open at the net. Not a lot Talbot could have done on that one.

Lucas Raymond remains good at hockey

[slothfacekilla]

The Finnie - Kasper - Appleton line has been great today

[lordstanley]

Johansson with a shorthanded goal and the Wings lead. Nashville fans aren't happy.

[Shinzaki]

Al Jo has been pretty good lately 

[slothfacekilla]

Beautiful toe drag to pass by Kasper to set that up, I guess the refs thought he got the puck before he "tripped" Josi.  PLAY ON!

Great breakout by him in the first to get their first goal going too, spun off a forechecker nicely then got the puck up to Finnie

[buddha]

aljo!

[lordstanley]

The Wings will need to kill a penalty with 15 minutes to go, the Preds had been coming on even before the call.

The audio on this game is weird to me. It’s like a constant dull roar that’s muffling Daniels and Murphy. 
 

but a nice surprise to fill my post work power nap between 2:30 and 3. 

[lordstanley]

3:42 to go.

[buddha]

much needed win.
