Jordan Leblanc+FollowRed Wings’ playoff hopes hinge on depthDetroit’s hockey buzz is real—the Red Wings are leading the Atlantic Division, but here’s the twist: they actually have a negative goal differential. That’s wild for a first-place team! The stars are shining, but the middle lines need to step up if Detroit wants to keep this momentum and make a real playoff run. Goaltending has been a roller coaster, too, so keeping both Gibson and Talbot healthy is crucial. Can the Wings’ young guns and veterans keep the fire burning, or will depth issues slow them down? Let’s hear your take—are you feeling confident or cautious? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowRed Wings fans celebrate Mason Appleton’s returnMason Appleton is back on the ice for Detroit after missing nine games with a lower-body injury, and his return couldn’t come at a better time. Appleton’s defensive grit and penalty-killing skills have been a big part of the Red Wings’ game this season, and fans noticed his impact right away during Sunday’s matchup against the Capitals. With three goals and six assists in 26 games, he’s proven to be a reliable presence. How do you think Appleton’s return will shape the rest of the Red Wings’ season? Let’s talk about what his comeback means for Detroit’s playoff hopes! #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowRed Wings’ young guns face tough choicesMarco Kasper’s season hasn’t unfolded as planned—he’s gone from a top-line hopeful to fighting for ice time on Detroit’s third line. Meanwhile, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, after a tough NHL start, is thriving in Grand Rapids, showing that a stint in the AHL can really help a young player find their game. With the Red Wings at a crossroads, the big question is: should struggling prospects like Kasper get more time to develop in the minors, or stick it out in the NHL? How do you think Detroit should handle its young talent right now? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Martha Garza+FollowRed Wings edge Capitals in wild OT finishMoritz Seider’s overtime rocket sealed a dramatic 3-2 win for the Red Wings, capping a weekend sweep over the Capitals and keeping Detroit’s hot streak alive. The energy at Little Caesars Arena was electric as Detroit survived a tense penalty kill in OT before Seider blasted the game-winner. Lucas Raymond and John Leonard also found the net, while Cam Talbot stood tall with 31 saves. Ethen Frank was a bright spot for Washington, scoring both Capitals goals, but it wasn’t enough to snap their slump. With Detroit surging and Washington struggling, what do you think is fueling these opposite trends? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowRed Wings depth shines in big winAndrew Copp is silencing doubters with his recent hot streak, racking up points and bringing exactly the energy Detroit needs on the second line. John Leonard’s quick goal set the tone, and it was great to see depth players like James van Riemsdyk and Elmer Soderblom stepping up to keep the momentum rolling. Moritz Seider’s Norris Trophy buzz is getting louder, especially after another standout game. With the Atlantic Division race so tight, every bit of depth scoring and defensive brilliance matters. How do you feel about the Wings’ playoff chances if this depth keeps producing? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowRed Wings flip the script on road gamesTurns out, playing away from Little Caesars Arena isn’t the curse it used to be for the Detroit Red Wings. After a rocky start on the road, the Wings have found their groove, going 5-1-1 in December away games. Coach Todd McLellan’s take that home-ice advantage isn’t what it once was seems spot on—these days, the ice and atmosphere are nearly identical wherever you go. The real challenge? Jet lag and travel, not the crowd. Do you think the home-ice edge is overrated in today’s NHL? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowRed Wings’ blue line is running on emptyDetroit’s defense is looking thinner than ever, and it’s not just a bad stretch—it’s a system-wide issue. Even with stars like Mo Seider and Simon Edvinsson, the Red Wings are struggling to find reliable partners, and the pipeline isn’t offering much hope. Most prospects project as third-pairing guys at best, and the team’s best left-handed D outside the NHL is still developing overseas. Yzerman’s draft magic hasn’t solved the blue line, and fans are starting to feel the pinch. How do you think Detroit should fix this defensive gap—trade, draft, or something else? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
William Morrow+FollowRed Wings eye veteran defense help after Hughes missMissing out on Quinn Hughes stung for Detroit, but the Red Wings aren’t standing still. With the trade deadline creeping up, talk is heating up about Chicago’s Connor Murphy as a realistic target. He’s not flashy on offense, but his steady defense and leadership could be exactly what Detroit’s young blue line needs—especially for stabilizing that shaky third pairing. Plus, Murphy’s price tag shouldn’t break the bank. Would you pull the trigger on a low-cost move for a proven veteran, or keep betting on the kids? Let’s hear your take on how the Wings should shore up their defense! #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
Sherri West+FollowRed Wings’ 2018 draft class: All gone nowNot a single player from the Red Wings’ 2018 draft class remains with the team after Jonatan Berggren was claimed by the Blues. It’s wild to think how much hope surrounded that group, and now, every one of them has moved on—some struggling to stick in the NHL, others playing overseas. Berggren, once a top prospect, never quite found his fit in Detroit, but maybe St. Louis will be the fresh start he needs. What do you think went wrong with this draft class, and can a change of scenery really turn things around for these players? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings00Share
