I've got a friend who won't stop saying he has little boy fever for the Red Wings
If the wings lose, everyone acts like its over, we win a few games everyone thinks its the coming of jesus lol.
Everyone acting like we have never had a 5 game win streak before. What happened last year right before March lol
Im all for us doing better. I just think everyone needs to watch before making these wild allegations.
I love every yt channel justifying themselves with basically saying in other words that they could be wrong, but let's pump out
Whats crazy is their pacing has picked up since game 1 each game, the last game they played the fastest and strongest everywhere
Didn't mention MBN once…
I dont think anything is surprising about the goalie tandem playing well. Same for the D1 pairing. D2 and D3… for sure they have upped their game leaps and bounds in that respect.
For sure its sustainable. The kids will only get better. Doesnt mean there wont be dips and bumps, especially with a younger team. They struggled with consistency for years, and I feel like we are seeing that start to go away. Better shooting, better passing, more possession. Couple that to strong coaching and I really see a team that has skill and depth and a chip on their shoulder.
Sadly this is how they do every year.. start hot or get very hot after a bad start then they just get mediocre and miss the playodds
Nah they will collapse because this team is soft AF. They've done it the last several years where they hit a streak and then they completely collapse
4:35 Finnie had 2 Goals .. don't forget the EN
The Wings’ blue line looks strong — two solid defensive pairs and even the third pair holding up well. The chemistry across all lines is clicking right now. If they keep this balance, Detroit could be one of the most complete teams this season. Do you guys see them as a real playoff threat?
I am a fan of the red wings, I give them credit for winning the current games that they have but in all honestly they have been very lucky. They are still very careless with the puck and I know people will say well its because they have so many rookies playing this year. The most dangerous of turnovers have been by vets like Chariot, Compher.
Most of the teams they faced had stars out dealing with injuries, so they should've won those games, and they did. I am hoping this was a confidence booster for the younger core and they can use it to clean up some of their bad habits to become a perennial contender like Colorado, Vegas etc.
Will they win 5 out of 6 all season long? No. Could they make the playoffs and maybe make some noise? Yes.
Trust me, I'm wanting everything to go right for the Wings, however it's been 6 games… lets see how they keep it up.
This is not a dig but clearly this is not sustainable. 4 of their first 6 games were at home and 2 of their wins were against contenders that aren’t healthy and start off slow.
With that being said, they’re looking like a wildcard team and look much improved
It's the same as two years ago, shoot the lights out but play shit defense and hope the goalie can bail them out. We know how that story finished: Fall of the pace, get below the playoff line and get hot when it's already too late to get.
You said Simon kinda weird here 5:58
Todd can take teams to the playoffs, he has proven that everywhere he goes. He might not win you the cup but he is the guy that build you a playoff regular
Yeah, we saw detroit get hot last year before all star break….we all know how it ended…..
As a childhood Red Wings fan during the Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Lindstrom, etc. era, I want nothing more than to see this team bounce back. Larkin has been on the team for 10 years now and has only been in the playoffs once during his rookie season.
Same shit happened last year bruh
If only just to be petty, it was due when every dang media that wasnt Detroit sh** all over them during season previews… I've been saying this year, if if if if, we could have a sneaky good team. All the IFs, so far, have been spot on 😂😂😂 LGRW
Can you talk about Cossa?? Has Detroit quit on him??
Cups matter…….being hot hitting the playoffs and raising cups is what matters.
They’re playing well 5:5. Which has not been the case the past few seasons.
and then they lose to the Sabres…unreal
brother are u sure your dad isnt gypsy crusader?😝
Aaaand they lose to the sabres
It’s too bad the hottest team is the devils
I’m a massive hater of the habs and wings due to divison rivalry but DAYUM those two teams are fun af to watch rn
Islanders 7. Red Wings 2. Same Red Wings. Different year.
This aged like fine fine milk. Of course we lose to two shit teams after beating solid teams.
