I know you're sometimes wrong. I know this because I disagree with you sometimes and I am never wrong about anything. Still, we need all the superstition karma juju luck-o'-the-Irish we can muster. So, POST MOAR OPTIMISTIC PROJECTIONS, NERD. (Or don't. Just know that if you don't and this rebuild drags on for years, it's all your fault.)

Ab(delkaer) aeterno

HYPE! LGRW!

Hughes - Larkin - Zadina I want it.

Five seconds into PK and kill and he gives you this look...

Do more takes plz. (Start with Zadina plz.)

ONE-GAME WINNING STREAK Y'ALL

But did he do it as a 20-year-old with basically zero pro experience? YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT

Some people think Jack Hughes will ultimately become a full-time winger.

He is the Swede we deserve and the one we need right now. All hail Svennis Cholowstrom!

Agreed, on all counts.

Dennis Cholowski is good at hockey.

I have to say: I'm really proud of the team tonight. They could've rolled over and given up after the first period, but they didn't. They could've used that late Panthers tying goal to claim defeat from the jaws of victory, but they didn't. All night long they kept at it, stayed with it. And ultimately they found a way to win. They needed two goals out of that 5-on-3 situation and they got them. The PK was fantastic. There were sequences here and there where the team played actual high-end puck-possession hockey and really took it to the Panthers. There was a lot of ugliness, there were countless mistakes, but, again, they found a way to win. They found a way to score the goals they needed to score. Big win! Congrats to the kids on their first win as Red Wings! Oh, and thanks for keeping me company in these GDTs, fam.

Larkin with 4 goals and 7 points thru 8 games Nyquist with 1 goal and 7 points thru 8 games Cholowski with 2 goals and 5 points thru 6 games

Griffins also won tonight. 5-3 over the Chicago Wolves.

For reals tho. Howard was really good tonight, that one bad goal aside.

Nyquist (1) from Larkin (3)

*exhale* *unclench* I think that game took a couple years off my life. Wow.

GOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

*chugs bourbon* OK. I'm ready for OT.

Fire Howard.

noooooooooooooo
