The Scrappy Red Wings? | Ep. 381 The Wings take the Stars to OT and win big against the Flames as they stay in the playoff race. How are Finnie and Shine showing up as they string together points? 📺YouTube youtu.be/8xUl_7KY4Vw 🌲LinkTree buff.ly/e5r21Jx #LGRW

@SJimerd20941 I think stocked is a bit of an oversell.

@GrindLinePod That's probably why the GM traded a #1 for a 35 yr. old defenseman. Without that added pressure keeping a 1st rounder in a stocked draft would have been a no brainer.

A few observations after last night's Wings win over Montreal: - John Gibson is dialed in. He wants the playoffs maybe more than anyone on this team, after being given a second shot at starter. - JT Compher has been one of the best players on the ice the last 2 games, minus the faceoff. - The team stood up for each other last night, and that goes a long way. Too often have they been pushed around. Last night they said, "not anymore." - It's going to be a hell of a run to the finish, but at the end of the day, no matter what happens, this team has gone above and beyond expectations and is far improved. #LGRW #RedWings

@pucksanddreams_ also most likely playing hurt.

Meanwhile 2 pts in last 7 games

@Frannn115 Sounds like he may be hurt.

I just want to know if Ray was playing injured if not I need him to shot the puck 🙂‍↕️

@SJimerd20941 I think the playoffs should have been expected. The problem is that no one expected you'd need nearly 100 points to get a wildcard spot.

@GrindLinePod That's why even with this ridiculous condensed schedule the playoffs are not necessarily the judge of this season. Never expected a playoff season and actually still don't but it's already successful in this rebuild.

lol

@11Jordancole He was on an emergency call up so he avoided waivers

@GrindLinePod Does Leonard have to clear waivers? I thought that was the case after his last game played.

Copp must be feeling good after last night. Leonard heads back to GR. Let's see this team get healthy down the stretch, as Elliotte Friedman reported the other day that they are more hurt than people know and are being held together by string, glue, and hope. #LGRW #RedWings

@nrs82 It was Monday's 32 thoughts, and he was talking about the Wings specifically. octopusthrower.com/insider-hints-…

@GrindLinePod I missed the Elliotte clip, was he talking about the Wings specifically or players across the league more generally?

@moeak123 Need a center with Ras still out.

@GrindLinePod I am surprised dries is still up

@moeak123 he did it because there were several guys hurt. Only way you can do it.

@GrindLinePod That's why yzerman did that he knows what he doing if he did that

@moeak123 Not on emergency callup

@GrindLinePod I thought he had to clear waivers to be send back

@GamerRob418 Let's see if he is in a non-contact next practice.

@GrindLinePod I say Larkin plays against Ottawa.....if they had lost last night I would have said against Boston.

@GamerRob418 That is the other possibility, he probably could have gone last night.

@GrindLinePod My guess is it means MBN is ready for Saturday

The Detroit Red Wings with a MASSIVE grind it out 3-1 win against the Montreal Canadiens in what felt like a playoff game. With Boston and Columbus both winning, it gets no easier as the Wings move into a tie for 3rd in the division by ROW. What a game. #LGRW #RedWings

ALEX MF DEBRINCAT WITH GOAL 100 AND IT'S 2-1 WINGS!!!!! #LGRW #RedWings

Puck luck is real. Tie game. #LGRW #RedWings

@rdryan33 I blame you

Win the 3rd. Win the game. #LGRW

Lucas you HAVE to shoot there. Unforgivable. #LGRW
