Detroit Red Wings (10-11-3) vs. Boston Bruins (12-11-3) When: Tuesday, December 3 Time: 7 p.m. ET Where: TD Garden (Boston, Mass.) Stream: ESPN+ **Red Wings Face Bruins in Crucial Clash: A Battle of Original Six Rivals** As the Detroit Red Wings gear up for their Tuesday night showdown against the Boston Bruins, anticipation is palpable. After a challenging home stretch, where they struggled to convert opportunities into victories, the Red Wings are eager to reclaim their footing against one of their oldest rivals. Having recently faced setbacks against the New Jersey Devils and the Vancouver Canucks, including a heartbreaking overtime loss on Sunday, Detroit finds itself at a crossroads. The team has shown flashes of brilliance, most notably in their recent triumph over the Calgary Flames. Still, consistency eludes them, placing them sixth in the Atlantic Division—eight points behind the division-leading Florida Panthers. A significant blow came with the injury of goaltender Cam Talbot during the loss to Vancouver, prompting the Red Wings to call up promising prospect Sebastian Cossa from the Grand Rapids Griffins. This young netminder will have the opportunity to shine during this pivotal road trip, as the Red Wings look to harness his potential and turn around their fortunes. (unfortunately, Lalonde will probably start Husso....idiot!) On the other hand, the Bruins are beginning to find their rhythm after a rocky start to the season. Following the dismissal of their former coach Jim Montgomery, interim head coach Joe Sacco has infused new life into the squad. With a 6-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens last Sunday, Boston has captured four wins in their last six games, positioning themselves third in the Atlantic Division and just four points shy of the Panthers. This matchup marks the second of three meetings between these two storied franchises this season, with Boston having secured victory in their previous encounter at Little Caesars Arena. With both teams looking to cement their standings as December starts, this clash promises to be an exhilarating display of skill, grit, and rivalry. Could another defeat be the final nail in the coffin for Head Coach Derek LaLonde? Fans can catch the action live on ESPN+, and as the puck drops, all eyes will be on how the Red Wings respond to adversity and whether the Bruins can continue their upward trajectory. Buckle up for what’s sure to be an unforgettable night of hockey!

Glad to see the 'crap posts' gone so quickly these days. Who do I thank?

Cossa up and hopefully he gets a start. Good or bad result, just practicing with the team, big league travel and reporters asking him the same questions over and over should make our boy hungry to get back to the D once he inevitably gets returned to GR. As far as the loss to the Nucks, I thought both teams looked clunky (soft ice?) and slow. Kasper was a solid 200' stud and BearGrin looked really showed his playmaking skill and scoring prowess even if his defensive game still lacks. Thoughts?

gcom007 -- There's a lot more that needs to be done. I'm looking to update the template as some of the incremental updates of the forum software have made the interface less than ideal... and I've gotta get Tatar off that header image .

Signing Jamal Adams is so dumb it might just work. Yes Adams is insane. No he can't cover in the backfield. But... he can rush. If Glenny is only going to use him at the line, then this could be one of the smarter dumb moves the Lions have ever made. Just keep him the fuq away from Waymo.
