Absolutely love the energy in the team this year. It's like the team has come to realize they're finally on the upswing of the rebuild. So much fight when the last few years they'd have just rolled over. Win or lose, it's just fun to watch again. 0:52 That hustle out of Fabbri! Erne was a beast on that shift too.
Honestly, I think the fight was there last year, it was just lacking the talent. Now we've added Raymond, Seider, Ledddy and a healthy Larkin and Bertuzzi. That's a major infusion of quality on a team that was starved of it.
@DecrepitOrigin888 I’m a leafs fan and I honestly hope it goes to OT I really love watching the wings this season. However, if the leafs preform poorly, I won’t mind the wings giving them a consequence. Best of luck for you guys tomorrow!
Yzerman is molding this team into his own image and that's why he dumped lazy ass players like AA and Mantha and bought out passengers like Abby and Nielsen. Yzerman was determined, skilled, gritty, and would do whatever it took to win. If you're not willing to do that Yzerman kicks you to the curb. The country club atmosphere of the Holland era is over.
AA? My friend said he'd always would think of the phrase "Happy to see you" when he'd hear the name Athanasiou. Which makes me think of "Is that a hockey stick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
The fight in this shift and in this game is just incredible. I honestly don't care if we get 2 points if we're competing like this. Only good things will come if this culture grows in this team. Incredible.
Those blocked shots were the reason he forced overtime, sooner or later it will come when it pays off and we tie it and then score the overtime winner. I’m liking the way this team is playing tho. Definitely the players all feel it they all want playoff hockey.
This team finally realizes it can play with any team in the league, score with any team. The confidence when losing was not there the last few years, it is here now.
We have 7 more ESPN+ broadcasts for the wings this season. Love this guy. Just as I love Ken and mick. I was going ballistic just by that sequence and the goal. I LOVE THIS TEAM!
I’m a Red Wings fan. I haven’t jumped up on my feet and cheered in many years. But today watching that game I did. Because this team has life in it. Its a team that wants to win threw and threw. They do not give up, regardless if they are down 2-0, It felt like two real competitors playing each other and one got the best of the other. Stevie Y and Blashhill keep doing the good work. Because this team may not make it this year, but you know damn well they will be in the playoffs next year and a competitor for the Stanley Cup in few years.
thank you for posting this. i work 2nd shift so i very rarely can catch games live monday through friday. this was a great way to catch up. LET'S GO RED WINGS!
Man, Florida is so talented. Like the way they were moving the puck last night was master class. And Bob is getting hot at the right time after being sub par the past couple years. Just wow, Florida is so good. But we were going absolutely nuts during this sequence last night then the Mo shot from the point delfected by Suter was insane lmao. I'd give anything to be in that building last night. Btw Raymond dancing through 4 Panthers was the highlight of the night next to this one lol. So pumped for the guys.
@@arustedspork22 for real it’s dirt cheap considering u get every NHL game unless it’s on national tv, lot of CFB games that u don’t get on cable, some MLB games, hell even seen a few college hockey games on there
Watched it live, and that whole shot block sequence gave me chills with the crowd roaring then the tying goal by Suter. It really reminded me of watching a playoff Wings game.
This year is just a preview of what is to come. Imagine what the next 1-2 years will be like. The rebuild will finally be over. They'll have an entire team of strong young guys, a cupboard full of promising prospects and be set to compete for the Stanley Cup once more. Think of it like a beta for a video game. The beta is just a testing phase for the players near release but not the final product. It basically let's the developers know what they need to tweak and change before they release the full game
Those last couple minutes of the game were the most exciting Red Wings hockey in years! It felt like a playoff game. I jumped off my couch when Suter scored.
I don’t care if we lost, this was a defining statement game. We may still be a year away, but tonight Yzerman’s Red Wings told the rest of the league they are coming, and they will be a special team when they do. If we somehow get a great center this next draft, we are going to be a contender for a decade
Bonus! Thanks awood. Was really hoping they'd pull off a win to see this in your highlights :) Even without the W the last couple games have been exciting and really fun to watch.
@Awood40 fantastic video! you've put up some great red wings videos for the years. the extended coverage really captures the excitement and spirit of the crowd. cheers from southern ontario 🍁
This was like watching Red Wings hockey from 10+ years ago. So good to hear fans in LCA. That sequence sounded like a game at The Joe, or maybe even a early round playoff game at The Joe.
Credit to the whole squad for their efforts keeping that puck out of their net. But I see you Robby Fabbri. The guy blocks three shots and had the stamina left to follow the puck out the zone for his team to get off the ice. Well done sir. #LGRW
This team is so fun to watch even tho they did lose, they fight and battle back and don't give up (besides that game in Montreal) and it's so fun to watch
From where I was sitting last night at the game watching that whole sequence in the wings zone about 40 feet away was insane. Got to love the passion of the winged wheel fans. Wish it was a dub but man this team is fun to watch excited for the future of this team and what they can bring to the city of Detroit. #LGRW #313
I really do love this team. I can see good things coming in the future. I think now its just a, "learning to win together" thing that might be stopping us.
The new guy and the rookie tie it up, man these guys are fun to watch. Would be great if they make the playoffs just to give all the "Professionals" a big F**K You for saying they won't be good this year. Yes its early but still, would be great.
