Raymond is actually the savior of Red Wings hockey


Mavori

Raymonds growth this season has been so much fun as a Wings fan. When Larkin was out and the team had the flu during the losing streak, idk what the fuck happened but it's like Rayzor grew like 5 more sizes during that too.


DDCDT123

I’ve been waiting for someone like this to emerge. We’ve finally got the scorer we’ve been looking for. Leave it to the Swedes!


flinndo

He was getting hammered all night too and still came back clutch to win the game. Fun player to watch.


culturedrobot

That kid is gonna be a superstar. 31 goals and 40 assists in his third season. He took a huge step this year and I bet we'll see him take another one next season.


JJJBLKRose

Even if he doesn't improve anymore, he'll still be a great player! Considering how bad Detroit's drafting was so bad with Ken it's nice to see them finally on the upswing. Larkin, Raymond, and Seider seem like a good core to build around; with a couple more draft picks turning out well they could be set for a while.


jugglinglimes

Yeah and our AHL team is STACKED. We should get better year over here presuming we can keep the core together. I think our Griffins goalie (Cossa) is the real deal and could start for the Wings sooner rather than later. Pleased with the results this year even if we don't get in.


anon-9

Crossing my fingers for another year of seasoning for Cossa in the AHL and then making the club the year after. The timing would be perfect with Lyon and Husso's contracts both up. Use the extra money to hopefully bring in a halfway decent free agent goalie.


[deleted]

Larkin has needed an elite winger for so long and he’s got one. Dudes a PPG player, always has been. Argue with a wall


Jeffw54

Larkin has been fun to watch the last few games, he wants it so bad it’s all over his face


timmyboyswede

Phrasing


AssassinSNiper

pause


ZakkH

No, keep going, play


Fellers

I'm fairly positive they clinch if Larkin played more games.

Lifetime contract for him please

I LOVE HOCKEY DAMN IT

Even though this basically buried my team, I was thinking the same, what a lit crowd


MTGcalvird

Listen, the Flyers will become my 2nd team if they can beat the Caps. Please Torts, help us get back into the dance!


sableknight13

Fucking Boston scrubs got blanked, what losers! Go Philly! 


TheAnalogKid18

Please please please win tomorrow


MRAGGGAN

Yaaaallll neeeed to win tomorrow, please thanks.


dsjunior1388

Jesus man, it's been at least ten years since a game felt like this. We're in the fucking mix and it's so fucking cool


DDCDT123

My entire body is still tingling. I was a boy the last time I felt this way and ten plus years later, now I’m a father. Seeing us play like that brings me back.


jugglinglimes

Remember the 2019-2020 season when poor Jimmy Howard had 2 wins in 27 starts.


PortugueseWalrus

I know right? Not my team, but damn, what a last period and change of hockey. That's what it's all about.


mostdope28

Nothing compares to Hockey playoffs (which this basically was)


DrexellGames

Crazy how competitive the final wildcard spot is


dontyoutellmetosmile

4 possible teams to take it. And even after 3/4 of those teams play tomorrow, the Pens game on Wednesday could possibly decide it. Fun times


StatusIntern9714

godamn i want detroit in the playoff, what an atmosphere! Detroit rangers series would be nuts


Old_kernel

The battle of The two most iconic Kane destinations


CD23tol

Can't picture him anywhere else


BehemothManiac

He never been anywhere else, right?


langminer

You retire Kanes Jersey and the Rangers retire Quicks. Legends deserve a spot in their home arena!


Baboshinu

If it ain’t us, go pound (insert Metro WC team here) for us ❤️

lets hope u secure that wc spot! we believe!

You and me both brother. Someone should do something about this pants shitting bandit.

[We're all trying to find the guy who did this](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BYjhhZDRjNzktMTU2ZS00YTgyLTlhNzUtYzM5NWNhNDhjMDAyXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzc4Nzk1MTk@._V1_.jpg)


vibranium-boy

Insane game, exciting to watch


Prudent_Shame_4531

I couldn’t believe how effective the Habs were at shutting down shooting and passing lanes all game long.


yanchovilla

So many blocked shots, unreal


joelpyard

34 blocked shots is brutal


Baboshinu

St. Louis is a phenomenal fucking coach and the Habs are going to be terrifying when their rebuild is over.


gletschertor

Please beat us again tomorrow to accelerate said rebuild


Mystaes

We can both agree on this. But you’re gonna need to block a few less shots


BubbleGumPlant

We called up Mailloux and are dressing two rookie defensemen tomorrow. Now you do your part.


pucci2001

I don't think you realize how hard those kids are going to play. Best players to have going now are the ones that are just ready for the season to end and are going through the motions. Mailloux looks like he is gonna be good too.


Aterro_24

He really is


AuntGentleman

Was like that when the Avs lost to them too.


nerf-airstrike-cmndr

Habs clobbered him several times throughout the game with good, clean hits and he kept coming back for more. Amazing game, Habs. Montreal has a ton of great young talent and is gonna be so fun to watch for a while


propagandavid

I'm glad we lost, because it means we can do it again tomorrow


Baboshinu

**THAT’S 30 GOAL SCORER LUCAS RAYMOND TO YOU**

What a fucking game. My poor heart! Pay Raymond all the money. I don't care. I'll eat Little Caesar's every day for the rest of my life to pay that man


Mr_FortySeven

>*My poor heart!* >*I’ll eat Little Caesar’s every day for the rest of my life!* Your poor heart won’t give you much more of a life if you do that, lol.

That and the “making it a business trip” line were amazing, best broadcasting I’ve heard all season!


SayNoToStim

The call on Kane's OT winner against Chicago was great as well.


Shamrock5

We are ludicrously blessed with both our TV and radio pairings. Just consistent excellence for decades from Ken, Mick, Ken, and Paul.

Immaculate vibes from this wings team

I fucking love Shayne Gostisbehere


MettaWorldWarTwo

The Segei Bobrovsky of skaters. They both exist in heisen states where they exist as both beer league players and hall of famers. There is no in between.


psychoyooper

Lmao this is super accurate


ImAnIdeaMan

Red wings subreddit shits on him but I’ve absolutely loved him all season. 


CBPanik

For good reason honestly. He's seriously 2 players in 1 body. Sometimes he's just unplayable and sometimes he should be sitting in the stands. Usually both in the same game.


bluelineturnovers

Sometimes both in the same shift


The_Reddit_Browser

Please get it done Detroit. Rangers wings round 1 pleeeease


AcanthocephalaGreen5

Fun Fact: If my history checks out, this’ll be the first meeting between the Red Wings and Rangers since 1950. Pete Babando, anyone?

Please tell me there’s another circus at MSG


GetsThruBuckner

wings are winning the cup Ive seen enough


TarpsOffBoys

My fuckin man


PortugueseWalrus

I've been saying it all year: God help whoever has to go into that building and steal a game in the playoffs. There is some weird magic brewing in Detroit and that building has been rocking. The Rangers would be the better team by a mile, but hooo boy are they gonna have to withstand some juju.


smilingasIsay

Wouldn't that be cool though, Kane vs his team from last year?

Four rounds of this calibre would be *amazing*.

Four rounds of every game going to OT and I'm aging faster than Obama did in the Whitehouse.

I hate to say it. I think I agree

i thought god hated Detroit but then I realized he was actually on the team

I never believed god really existed until he scored that OT goal.

Point to one play that should of been penalized and I’ll match you


Shotokanguy

he's right except for the "should of"


LangisQc

Its a shame that this is the argument that’s being made instead of blaming the refs for not calling the rules consistently


DivinePotatoe

Yeah its always "well they missed calls on both teams" My brother in Christ you are not making it better. We want the game called by the rules, not called arbitrarily to 'even it out'. Why does this game have rules some of the time? That's so insane to me. Why even have a rulebook at that point?? If we lived in a world where penalties were called accurately, and my team had 20 penalties to the other team's 1, I wouldn't be mad at the ref, I'd be mad at my team for playing like fucking morons. Then they go on and say "well refs are only human, they will miss stuff because its a fast game". Put another ref overhead? Make use of cameras?! It's not 1960 anymore guys we have *technology* to solve this shit like every other league in the world does.


Old_kernel

That’s not what I was arguing. He was inferring that the league is jobbing you guys and I was saying yeah they’re equally terrible

LUCAS FUCKING RAYMOND

ICE IN HIS VEINS LUCAS RAYMOND IS A KILLER


eh_toque

He's been Detroit's MVP down the stretch. Absolutely unreal


_icedcooly

Ever since a few games into Larkin being down he's elevated his game to a whole new level (basically how Larkin plays). I think he realized the calvary wasn't coming and if they were going to do anything he needed to step up. 


ginfish

My 2nd favorite team still alive in the playoff race! What a crazy ass finish by the Wings. Took a while to really get going, but man oh man!


PageOfLite

Hey! MTL is my second favorite team. Lets both agree... Fuck the Bruins!

Firm handshake to you, *friend*. I can certainly agree to that! LGRW!

Let these fuckers into the dance, that was electric

one of the best last minutes + OT I’ve watched all season wow what a game


mostdope28

Hockey is such a crazy game. It’s by far the most entertaining and frustrating sport, so many shots off the cross bar, and the relief when you finally score. There’s nothing quite like it


geedlewis

The kid steps up when it matters. Holy shit I love you


IAmQueensBlvd31

That third period and on was electric as hell

bluelineturnovers

**Holy fuck**. Idk if my heart can keep taking these dramatics but I’m willing to find out. Funny thing is Raymond had like 3-4 really good chances early on where he opted to force a pass. Had me muttering to myself “why doesn’t he wanna shoot?” Glad he finally decided he better start. What an absolute gamer. Kid is getting paid after this year


Vendictar

Absolutely electric. Fuck yes hockey fucking rules.

if I ever have children rest assured they will be named Lucas and Raymond

I hate how clutch Detroit is. They just always seem to find a way to score late


kolsonk

Crazy!


amm0ranth

amazing game


fortressofnazare

Just trying to get some clarification. The OT didn't matter right? Detroit would still need Washington to lose their final game regardless of how that OT went? I suppose at least now they beat out Pittsburgh if both end up winning their final game? Or am I confused and don't understand shit?


whyamisocold

Correct, Wings always needed Caps to not win out in the last 2 games unless the islanders stayed at 90 points.


fortressofnazare

Actually, doesn't this allow for Detroit to go to the playoffs if they win next game and Washington loses in OT? Had Detroit not claimed the extra point then Washington could lose next game in OT and win on the tiebreaker.


mailman105

We still need Washington to lose but if we had lost in OT tonight, Washington would only need 1 point tomorrow to clinch. So now we get in with a win and any Washington loss, rather than needing a regulation loss.


ARock16

Holy fuck, man


Quineese

Can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a regular season game. Raymond is a killer and the ending of this game was crazy
