Mrazek doing Mrazek things, our 5v5 going 5v5 things, matching pace but never pushing ours, we've seen this kind of game before. Our core not showing up, our goaltending being just more than marginally disappointing, our defense just... ugh. No stars tonight. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Okay, I"m done. Let's just wrap this game up without getting anyone hurt and move on to the next. Edvinsson basically tapping it in for the Caps and Mrazek confusing hockey for gymnastics. Ugh. 4-1 Caps. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

I don't need faith that we're gonna make the playoffs. I would just like to win the games and not feel like we're in a completely preventable downward spiral. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

I'll remember this game every time someone says Mrazek is hotter than Talbot or Lyon. Talbot would have made that save all day, every day. Tough times, but still within expectations for Mrazek. Just LOOKS ugly. 3-1 Caps. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Wings are losing and Montreal is losing. This is not good. Oy. March and April have not been good months for the Red Wings in a very long time. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAAAAAAA You should have fucking had that, Petr. That was a one on one shot. 2-1 Caps. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

I feel like the moment anyone goes to do anything big and flashy in this period the reaction is gonna be that everything and everyone is gonna fall apart around them and it's gonna decide this game. Ugh. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Over the course of the second, both teams shored up their defense more and locked in, with the Caps waiting to react and the Wings afraid to be caught on their heels, which made for a gritty, defensive, and slowish period. Not great hockey. Still tied. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Man, almost two whole periods and there's been... what... three whistles? If that? #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Just feels like both teams are just running the clock down. Even the refs aren't really involved in ramping things up. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

2nd soon.

Puck's dropped on the second and the pace seems to be set the same way the first period seemed to be: slow, steady, and pressured. I don't mind it. We just need to finish on plays a bit more. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Wasn't the most consistently exciting period of hockey ever but things were definitely tense all around: the Wings look like they're staring down the barrel of a firearm and the Caps look like they could turn their A game on at any time. Should be interesting. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

I'd like to know who shit in Benny's cereal. I wanna shake their hand because, hell, he's laying it all out there. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Petr making stellar stops but while he's sharp he is flailing around and diving and it gives me palpitations. I AM NOT A FANNNN #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

I get how people are hot on Mrazek now and are cold on the other goalies but I will not have Cam Talbot slandered. Cammy has stolen games for us that we had no business winning. Shit on Lyon, maybe. Husso, definitely. But leave Talbot alone! #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

PEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAAAA #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

It's like that Red Wing line heard the commentators and pressed the forecheck on the Caps and Larking pops it in off of an absolutely juicy rebound! 1-1 TIE! #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

All those screens and Petr doesn't even see the puck absolutely floating from the point and it's in the net. 1-0 Caps. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

PEEEEEEEEEEEEETAAAAAAAAAAAA #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

😼 x 600!

Puck's dropped on the first period and we're seeing a nice amount of grit and effort across the board, not a whole lot of coasting but not a lot of breaking out either. I'm okay with this for now. #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

Ready to go. Here's tonight's lineup! #LGRW

Detroit goes up against Washington in a very important game for the Wings where it could easily go either way. Mrazek and Thompson gets the start in net tonight and it's going to be interesting! #DETvsWSH #LGRW #RedWings

So how about a Red Wings shutout from Petr Mrazek? Who had Johanssen getting a goal and Mrazek getting a shutout on their bingo cards today? Definitely not an exciting game for most of the time but they showed up in the third and put it away at home. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

And with some pressure down, it looks like Kasper tucks it in from the slot on a rebound that Sammy didn't even catch coming and... wow, this is the Red Wings I wanted to see. 3-0 WINGS! #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Mrazek's staying in but... listen, Petr, if you can't stay sharp, don't stay in the game. We NEED THESE POINTS! #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Jesus Christ, that was almost a 2-1 game if it wasn't for Larking... but... BUT OF COURSE MRAZEK GETS HURT ON THE PLAAAAAAAAAYYYYY #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Go ahead and get that monkey off your back, Rayzor! It's about time! Some grit and persistence getting him to the mid slot allows him to get a good shot off and that gets us on the board again. 2-0 WINGS! #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

On a scale of 1-12 icings, how boring do you find this game? #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Puck's dropped on the third and we're seeing more of the same. Power play clearly frustrated with the lack of production but they're seemingly unaware that they're in their own way most of the time. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Little bit more pressure on both sides periodically but still kind of lethargic of a hockey game. Either way, I'm glad the Wings are up by one but that's a one shot lead... we gotta press harder and take it to them hard. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

I saw the motion for a slash but does that actually mean the Red Wings are gonna get a power play? I guess we shall see. I hate having to watch TNT broadcasts. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Albert Johansson just picking up his own rebound, nice and tidy, and tucks it in behind Sammy and we now have... oh wait... this seems familiar... 1-0 WINGS! #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

And that was... uneventful. Vegas got one solid shot and... I'm just seeing two teams almost absolutely coasting through this game. Now I'm just hoping for good hockey, forget a particular result. Geez. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Hold on, looks like it's 4 on 4? For some reason? I'm not sure what's going on here but that's NHL officiating for you, I guess. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Rass crashed the net and bowled Sammy right over into his own net. Not sure if he was pushed or not. Looks like he might be taking a penalty for it. Red Wings on the penalty kill. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Puck's dropped on the second and, honestly, it's more of the same; starting to get critical of the aim of the Red Wings as they would be way more threatening if their shots would hit targets more or if they relied less on redirection and taps. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

No score after twenty and I'm wondering who's going to break the levy here because I feel like both teams are on the precipice of both breaking out AND falling apart and the first goal might be what does it. Let's see how it goes. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Some nice pressure here from the Wings, a lot closer to the fight this team needs to get ANYWHERE close to the playoffs. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings

Detroit looks good but they're not playing like a team that wants a playoff berth. It's gonna be a struggle, every game, I know, but... it just feels like they're going through the motions and hope that results in some wins. #VGKvsDET #LGRW #RedWings
