If we would have had Todd last season we definitely would have made the playoffs!.. 😊 I'm happy that the boys are seemingly starting to find their legs and confidence
Three games in and Holl and Chariot already looking at a little different. I like it. Also, love the team getting Larkin that goal at the end of the game.
But wait .. didn't you notice almost half way through the first period that the Pens had no SOG??? I was taking repeated looks to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
@@TheParadoxDestroyer amazing what happens when you put a coach with experience and one with expectations. Todd holds the boys accountable and demands them to be better. I think they have responded! #lgrw
Veleno looks quite solid in that top line, good pace and skating and his passing looks more like what was hopped. Brings a good element with razor and larks
Agreed...I have always liked Veleno, he also brings size and strength to the line. I wonder if he will be like a Martin Lapointe, a top scorer in junior who reconfigured his game to stay in the NHL....good stuff
I agree, I'm really hoping it unlocks a new level to Veleno. Feel like the dude has been giving it all, has some talent, and it just hasn't been working out in his favor at all.
Yeah I haven't watched Red Wings hockey in like 2 months now and now I'm going to make it a point to watch next game.. I just had to make sure that they were for real..
@@TheVlad1616 Remember Seider came into the league day one and was making calm decisions in his own zone like a 10yr veteran, literally could not be knocked over as well as put up very solid offensive numbers for a defenceman in the NHL let alone a rookie. I think he had a nice mix of both Edvinsson and Sandin-Pellikka. This horrible stretch of play the team has had Seider has not been taking shifts off in fact he's showed he understands that accountability starts with him and the example he's chosen to set. That's captain material right there. And no knocks on Edvinsson but he is going to take more time to look more comfortable back there but honestly Seider being able to do that right away Is not the norm. Whoever turns out 'better' is a good problm to have, especially with ASP coming soon. Holy shit Red Wings hockey is going to be fun as hell to watch when he gets here
That ENG was proof that this team is once again an actual team. Ray wouid've 100% made that shot just to make sure they win the game, but instead he seen Larkin next to him and let him score to break his goal drought.
Happy New Year, awood! Hope the Wings will keep you busy in the second half of the season with the new coach in place. Wishing you all the best and may you always find better than you seek.
The way seider kicks his leg out into shooting lanes is so unique to me and in the crease, would love to see a compilation of him acting like a second goaltender, there’s gotta be enough clips of him it happens almost every night
Early in the broadcast, they mentioned that over a long career, Malkin has never failed to score at least one point in any game he played in Detroit, either in Joe Louis Arena or in Little Caesars Arena. Great job of jinxing it! Like Jimmy Carter, that streak lasted a ridiculously long time, but didn't quite make it into 2025!
That third goal was such a great moment. The whole arena singing blink-182, then a great rebound goal. So good. That's how Hockey Town should be every night. Good to see the fans getting back into it even if it's only been two good games.
I know its early but I really felt that Veleno has a chance to excel but just needs a good coach to see his potential and slot him with the right pairing. He looks good on the first line with his pace and believe he will really shine brighter as he builds confidence along the way. Hope he can prove to the naysayers and show them why he was granted exceptional status. LGRW
I don't think that he will ever be the superstar that you might expect from someone who got exceptional player status as a 15-year-old, but he is still proving himself a valuable player. What really impresses me about him is his versatility. He can play any role in any of the twelve forward positions, and while he might not be as good as the regular player in some of them, he is at least good enough in each of them to not slow down the entire line. Stanley Cup contenders need to have a few players like that, because there will inevitably be key injuries at key times in a long playoff run.
@@jeremykraenzlein5975 Veleno's speed and forechecking are an asset on the first line. It makes another line more potent as there is more talent balance. The same appears to be true for the defense by putting Edvinsson on the second pair. My main concern is whether the team is trying to highlight Veleno for a trade later in the year.
@@TheParadoxDestroyer that's what everyone is saying, preparing to ship him out. If it really happens (sadly), hopefully we are able to fleece a desperate team.
Amazing what getting back to basics can do. To top it off the new line combinations are paying off. These last 2 games is detroit playing hockey again. Kudos and let's keep driving!
Good to see Rasmussen finally sacrificing his big body to play physical. He can be frustrating to watch when he floats and avoids contact. Looks like the Wings found their testosterone finally.
This kind of game shows how much Bergy is valuable his skill set with the puck his vision top notch even his shot now ! Guys who don't want Berggren on this team clearly hate good hockey. Kid is Gold
Copp has to bury that chance with under 10 minutes left. I give him credit for at least being more or less ready for the no look and receiving it successfully in tight traffic, but you have to shoot it hard, with or without lift. You can't let it dribble weakly off the stick there. Goalie may have been beaten even with just an instantaneous hard shot low. I was very encouraged by the win but that was one of 2 moments that seemed to me moments where when a corner is truly turned, it will go differently. The first one was that power play goal to tie it up. When the corner is turned, Pitt won't score there. And when the corner is turned, a situation and chance like that Andrew Copp will put in past the goalie.
now that this team has a new coach and system you can already tell the difference in just 2 games! lol 🤷♂️flying out there now the cage has been opened their just getting started on a new chapter moving forwards! 🤷♂️💪👍
Red Wings beat the Penguins and Team USA beats Canada 4-1 in Ottawa with Trey Augustine having a great game. Things are looking up Detroit. LGRW and Go Green.
20 years of watching hockey and I still couldn’t tell you what is and isn’t goalie interference, pens second goal player has his whole body weight on Lyon
Look...love the Lions....but I agree....it's gotta be a little demoralizing...I get it last year but this year time to give some attention to the team out there....Lar-kin..... Lar-kin
if they win the Super Bowl, they are going to be chanting his name for the rest of time lol. At least it appears to have replaced the endless wooing. If I had to pick between 2-3 Goff chants per game or non stop wooing for 15 minutes (which I've experienced in person), I'm taking the chants.
Him and Raymond have had strange years statistically. Larkin had 9 goals the first 13 games, then 3 more the next 8, and none since (until last night). Raymond had 1 goal the first 15 games, now 14 in 22 since. Both were still putting up 10+ assists each during the scoring droughts. Those things tend to even themselves out over time and that's what has happened here. Meanwhile, DeBrincat who had similar hot/cold streaks last year, has been pretty consistent the entire season. Hasn't had a goal drought longer than 5 games, and hasn't gone longer than 3 games without a point. I expect all 3 players to still hit the 30-goal mark.
Was the O’Connor second goal not even a potential look at for goalie interference seemed like he was barely touched and then purposely took a dive right into Lyon
I know its only 2 games, but we look and feel different. I love it.
Its such a dramatic change that i thing we can say its the coaching change with confidence.
This is a win streak
If we would have had Todd last season we definitely would have made the playoffs!.. 😊 I'm happy that the boys are seemingly starting to find their legs and confidence
Its insane how much faster they look.
Crank it up, baby.
Three games in and Holl and Chariot already looking at a little different. I like it. Also, love the team getting Larkin that goal at the end of the game.
send petry to the retirement home
Wait! Did I just see the Wings carrying the puck into the o-zone?!
This is good
New year new us vibes 😊
But wait .. didn't you notice almost half way through the first period that the Pens had no SOG???
I was taking repeated looks to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me.
@@ngadam3126 It's a mystery to me why all of a sudden the Wings are actually playing hard from the beginning of the game. Oh...the new coach...
@@TheParadoxDestroyer amazing what happens when you put a coach with experience and one with expectations. Todd holds the boys accountable and demands them to be better. I think they have responded! #lgrw
Love seeing Rayzor give Larkin the puck. Hope to see DBoss start to perform now that the pressure is not so squarely on his shoulders
Sniping them top corns.

He been a work horse for a few seasons now from what I seen puts in the under appreciated work on the ice glad he getting some recognition
First game you really see larkins emotions back
That's what I want from my captain!😎🤙
Raymond looking pretty elite on that coast to coast chance he didnt quite finish. Hes nice.
Thank you Tod, got the boys invested now, now let’s make a run of it
Yeah I haven't watched Red Wings hockey in like 2 months now and now I'm going to make it a point to watch next game.. I just had to make sure that they were for real..
I absolutely love that Edvinsson is as mean as he is big. It's something the wings have been missing for some time
I think in 3 years, Mo will be our 3rd best D-man. I the Ed and ASP are way better skaters than him.
For real. It feels like we’ve been conservatively tough for years now.

Great day for me. Beating Alabama and the Penguins on the same day? Awesome
Wings look totally different with this change.Happy new year.
What a difference a REAL NHL coach makes!
best wings game so far this year. Looked like a playoff game.
Happy new year everyone!! LGRW
The way seider kicks his leg out into shooting lanes is so unique to me and in the crease, would love to see a compilation of him acting like a second goaltender, there’s gotta be enough clips of him it happens almost every night
He's the best non-goalie goaltender we've had since Lidstrom.
6:00 : "You heard that on by Woodward!" Mick is such a gem.
Also, that Larkin holding call was BS lol.
Malkin the mouth breather still hanging in there w Crosby. Kane still at it. Reminds me of old times.
Raymond is such a good guy. Way to give one to the captain.
Early in the broadcast, they mentioned that over a long career, Malkin has never failed to score at least one point in any game he played in Detroit, either in Joe Louis Arena or in Little Caesars Arena.
Great job of jinxing it! Like Jimmy Carter, that streak lasted a ridiculously long time, but didn't quite make it into 2025!
Worth noting that is a regular season only stat. Wings had multiple shutouts on home ice in the back-to-back SCF matchups.
Everyone had a great game!
Every defensman even had a great game!
Definitely more effort!
That third goal was such a great moment. The whole arena singing blink-182, then a great rebound goal. So good. That's how Hockey Town should be every night. Good to see the fans getting back into it even if it's only been two good games.
Happy new year awood Wings are looking good since the change and u do a great job. Thank u
Perfect new years gift 🎉🎉
Detroit just tossed Pittsburgh around all game and I'm all for it.
Happy 2025 boys🎉 Way to go Cograts T-Mac on 600th
Hard work, High intensity and Much more Physical, simple things that make a big difference.
Спасибо за подарок на новый год , отличная игра , красивая победа !

Lyon got away with 2 wraparounds that should have been goals. gotta clean that up
his weakness is over-committing yeah, thankfully Ned's glove hand high is still just as bad as when he played for us.
I think Lyon had a poor game. He just wasn't sharp in his reads and he seemed to react late a fair amount.
Great win again! This is encouraging. Thanks for your videos this year AWood - always much appreciated. Happy New Year all! LGRW!
Mick, Ken, Awood and Wings for breakfast!
happy new year deeeeeeeetroitttttt‼️ LGRW
Oh Captain, my Captain
the Larkin goal says a lot about this team. LGRW
Glorious!
@6 minutes. Rasmussen needs to play more like this. Hes 6'6" 220lbs. use it to your advantage
Amazing what getting back to basics can do. To top it off the new line combinations are paying off. These last 2 games is detroit playing hockey again. Kudos and let's keep driving!
11:06 😂😂🤣🤣 Edvinsson has a bit of mean streak in him.
The new Chief is crushing it, team looks more adept to playing in this league. More to come....
thank you
Good to see Rasmussen finally sacrificing his big body to play physical. He can be frustrating to watch when he floats and avoids contact. Looks like the Wings found their testosterone finally.
Whole team is hitting more, I wonder if it was being coached out of them
Like how after mo played goalie lyon patting him saying thank you much better couple games
Looks and feels like a different team!
awood40 been a little more busy this past week - 😂
Thank you so very much awood love ya and appreciate your hard work. Happy new year wingnuts🎉
Way to go
Whole new team ❤
Please may the coach be the difference for the season.
This kind of game shows how much Bergy is valuable his skill set with the puck his vision top notch even his shot now ! Guys who don't want Berggren on this team clearly hate good hockey. Kid is Gold
How can you not love hockey. 2 in a row baby.

So this is what happens when you play with..what do you call it? Oh energy.
And a game plan…. Not just sitting back playing defense and hoping the other team makes a mistake
Hapoy new year 🎉
now that this team has a new coach and system you can already tell the difference in just 2 games! lol 🤷♂️flying out there now the cage has been opened their just getting started on a new chapter moving forwards! 🤷♂️💪👍
Red Wings beat the Penguins and Team USA beats Canada 4-1 in Ottawa with Trey Augustine having a great game.
Things are looking up Detroit.
LGRW and Go Green.
LGRW BELIEVE IN STEVE Red Wings have new wings
Gd, I love my Captain. Hope this opens the flood gates.
Love the Larkin lil tap on Sid the middle aged man. Hope he keeps that snarly edge
I miss Tuxedo Night at The Joe.
Go wings keep it up get better everyday
Need to get Tarasenko going.
Looks like these guys are playing fuckin hockey.
What are the fans singing just before the 3rd goal?
All the small things. Colorado started this trend a few years ago with that song and now everyone does it.
Someone mentioned that it could be a song called "Hey Hey Hockeytown"?
After the wings made it 3-2. The penguins did not have any shots the last 5:15 of the 3rd
I see a bright future for the red wings. Go Cats (and red wings)
Apparently it’s not against the rules to actually carry the puck out of your own zone….
Congrats to coach on his 600th career win
Seider is our best goalie
Wings are looking good
LGRW!!
That holding call on Larkin was awful
Way for Raymond to flow power to the captain.
Bunting trying to box out Edvinsson and gets wrecked.
Crosby flopping and Malkin intentionally stepping on sticks... Yep Pittsburgh was taking an L
20 years of watching hockey and I still couldn’t tell you what is and isn’t goalie interference, pens second goal player has his whole body weight on Lyon
Crosby dove so hard on the Larkin penalty
Sometimes they just need a different voice in the locker room and Todd McClellan is a great coach Never wanted to see him leave to begin with
No more drop passes
The Jared Goff chants are so annoying and ridiculous. This is a Red Wings game, not a Lions game. Chant Dylan Larkin instead.
Look...love the Lions....but I agree....it's gotta be a little demoralizing...I get it last year but this year time to give some attention to the team out there....Lar-kin..... Lar-kin
if they win the Super Bowl, they are going to be chanting his name for the rest of time lol.
At least it appears to have replaced the endless wooing. If I had to pick between 2-3 Goff chants per game or non stop wooing for 15 minutes (which I've experienced in person), I'm taking the chants.
Hope
Larkin's first goal in 16 games. Pretty much tells the Red Wing's story, doesn't it?
Yup and none of us miss Lalonde. McLellan seems to be the answer to all of our problems
Him and Raymond have had strange years statistically.
Larkin had 9 goals the first 13 games, then 3 more the next 8, and none since (until last night). Raymond had 1 goal the first 15 games, now 14 in 22 since. Both were still putting up 10+ assists each during the scoring droughts. Those things tend to even themselves out over time and that's what has happened here.
Meanwhile, DeBrincat who had similar hot/cold streaks last year, has been pretty consistent the entire season. Hasn't had a goal drought longer than 5 games, and hasn't gone longer than 3 games without a point.
I expect all 3 players to still hit the 30-goal mark.
Veleno needs to be tested asap 😂
Was the O’Connor second goal not even a potential look at for goalie interference seemed like he was barely touched and then purposely took a dive right into Lyon
Holl knocked him into Lyon, zero chance that was getting overturned.
