Simon Edvinsson, Mason Appleton, Todd McLellan vs TOR | Dec. 28, 2025
Simon Edvinsson, Mason Appleton, and Todd McLellan speak with the media following Detroit’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on December 28, 2025 at Little Caesars Arena.
"Simon says game over" Great call that haha! Wings looked flat for a lot of the game tbh but then the Seider goal seemed to wake them up. Talbot was solid again and battled hard. Beautiful GWG from Big Ed. I like ASP but he needs to learn you don't have time to dwell in the NHL, that turnover for the Leafs second goal was awful. Beating the Leafs always seems to be extra pleasurable.
Why do Kane and DeBrincat continue to be separated in OT? The excuse he used to use was "they're both wingers". Now he has Finnie out with DeBrincat ahead of Kane each of the last 2 times. It is absurd. They were ridiculously dominant tonight at 5v5 together. In fact not only should those 2 play OT together, the 3rd guy out w them should be Andrew Copp playing the d-man role. That line destroys the opponent all game then none of them play together in OT.
These draft picks are starting to pan out. It even seems like Rasmussen is playing better, albeit his +/- doesn’t reflect it. Mo was a phenomenal draft pick. There’s plenty coming GR too.
Wth come on Detroit that was worst game I seen this yr,so talented but fight for puck on boards like little kids. Best team in league but stuck with bad offensive zone plays,this games should be studied

Larkin is an embarrassment to the city of Detroit

“[the knee] is a long way from the heart.” – Simon Ed. I fucking love this team.
Great day for Detroit fans. Finnie and Simon had a great game.
We got Hughes Edvinsson at home
Aziz played roller hockey with play skool skates and a broom stick.

Awesome overtime win, boys! That’s what I’m talking about!
Aziz is secretly in love with Dylan Larkin.

Appleton's next game against his former team the Winnipeg Jets.
Watching Matthews absolutely choke on that puck right before Simon scored was icing on the cake LGRW!

Simon on his way to being Hedman 2.0
5-0 vs Leafs 😂 love it
Leafs won't win many games against us for the next ten years with Simon Edvinsson and Moritz Seider paired together
Go Detroit Red Wings!
Bro Mo Seider is special and this team in general is fun to watch
Eddy flopping around, clearly injured, and still trying to block that shot almost brought a tear to my eye. This team has heart man

Board battles nobody can win, zero option zero. like trying win every face off,
Did anyone notice that Simon's goal looked at lot like the McCarty goal back in 97 against the Flyers for the cup.
