That was huge, Wings catch a break for a change.

53 seconds to hang on. 

[lordstanley]

That’s about as exciting as regular season games get. 

[Dan Gilmore]

Whew, a bit tense.

Great game. Kane and DeBrincat carried the team.

Cat has become our best fwd...he plays a much more complete game than he did a few years ago

[1984Echoes]

Nice and needed...!

But we're still on the bubble so we need more of these...

Yup. And I like Faulk. He skates well enough he's hard for opponents to forecheck or tie up. That's a nice add.

phew!  huge win.

[GalagaGuy]

6 teams fighting for 5 spots.

Wanna blow the roof off of LCA?  Have Larkin return Saturday against Boston...if he's healthy any way

It was great seeing the Wings treat it like a playoff game and play with intensity.  DeBrincat was a beast all around.

Yes, it is great to see DeBrincat, one of the smallest guys on the ice and an elite goal scorer, getting into every scrum. 

But let's not forget Patrick Kane. Takes a shot from way downtown, against the boards, just inside the blue line, as far from the goal as you can possibly get in the offensive zone, between the legs of a defender, off the *** of his teammate screening the goaltender, and hits nothing but net. Also, with three minutes left, springs a puck loose from the defensive zone for a streaking Alex DeBrincat to chase down. Sure he didn't get an assist on that one, he didn't get a goal on the first one, and there was an element of luck involved in both, but every time I watch him I marvel at his vision. He makes plays that few other players can even see.

Tonight’s game is on ABC,hence the later 8pm start. 

[lordstanley]

Lively first five minutes. DeBrincat rings one off the post on a 2 on 1. Then the Wings kill a penalty. 

[lordstanley]

Yikes, the Wings have the NHL’s worst penalty since late January, at just over 10%. 

[lordstanley]

Man, what would have been the opening goal crossed the red line 0.1 seconds after the period ending buzzer sounded

[lordstanley]

This is the 2nd time the Bruins have had a shorthanded 2 on 1. 

[lordstanley]

Third straight power play for the Wings. Need to start converting.
Just like that! Raymond 1-0.

[buddha]

copp so good.

seider just ****ed them.  oh boy.

[lordstanley]

Bruins score soon into the long 5 on 3. Frickin’ puck over the glass penalty 

[buddha]

and there it is.

that goal is 100% seider.

[lordstanley]

The Wings are getting a ton of shots from in close. Something has to give. 

[lordstanley]

That goal was coming. DeBrincat has really stepped up this homestand.
