Right now I feel like Rod BrinD’amour when he was like “we got swept but we didn’t”, like we lost the game but we didn’t because it was super close and we put on a good game against a great team but we still lost
Obviously, opening the season in the loss column sucks, and Perty and Peron had bad nights. That being said, I really liked what I saw from us tonight against the 3rd best team in hockey last year.
– Great puck movement on the power play
– Solid penalty killing
– Outshot the opponent
– Particularly great performances by Compher, DeBrincat, Larkin, Seider, Wallman, and Gostisbehere
– Didn’t roll over and die down 4-2 late
The wins will come, if we keep playing sharp there’s no doubt in my mind we make the playoffs this year. Let’s go kick the ever loving fuck out of Tampa now. LGRW!
All y’all who can’t recognize that as a good game against a very good opponent are fuckin kooky
The old vets killed us tonight. That should be a hint moving forward.
Ain’t the refs fault we didn’t win faceoffs. Or were in the box that frequently.
Great effort tho. Love the new team.
LGRW
petry is awful
We played good overall. No head hanging here.
Great first period. Have to start taking our chances.
Second period wheels fell off due to bad penalties.
DP has to adapt it wasn’t a slash when he started in the league but it has been now for some time. The momentum changed as soon as they got a powerplay goal.
Loved that we fought until the end and the aggressive goalie pulls.
Petry really killed us on that icing that directly led to the face off goal.
Some good performances like husso the cat Walman Ras and sprong and some poor ones. It’s just game 1.
Hitting 2 posts in games like this pisses me off.
Raymond gonna remember that WHIFF after this one
Hung with a team that scored 107 points last season and probably got better over the summer. Season is young.
Well …. I’ve seen enough of Petry. I want Simon to come up.
Can’t be too mad about that one. They boys played good. Some things that need to be worked on but a good start for sure.
It’s the winnable games that eat at me. 1st period was so good. Ugh.
Can’t win them all.
Overall I’m not disappointed that we didn’t steal a game from one of the best teams last season.
Lots to like. Aggressive. Good puck movement. HussZONE. Reasonable special teams. Cat-larks-Razor line when we needed to get back into it. Need to be smarter late, especially Petry, but can’t ask for a lot more from game one.
Shoutout to Fabbri for having the drive to come back from multiple ACL injuries and play well. Hope you stay healthy bud.
They took Ras’ and Holl’s assists away and this cannot stand
Pretty good game considering we had 9 new players on the roster

Check out /r/RedWingsGifs for my clip compilations for each game. Feel free to share! Just give credit.
Even though they got the empty netter, I felt more comfortable with this team in front of an empty net than I did last year
I am whelmed.
Things need to tighten up some but overall this was a mostly fun game to watch and the team held decently against a bonafide playoff team.
Also Seider played 26:10 according the red wings app next highest was Walman with 21:22
My petty ass is just happy Hughes didn’t get a hatty lol
Berggren and Edvinsson
On a positive note, Buffalo lost 1-5 to the Rangers and Sens lost 3-5 last night.
Losing 3-4 to the Devils doesn’t look bad in comparison.
Get em Saturday need a W here
It was a good game, Wings played well but didn’t quite get it in the net. Didn’t like the refs calling any light touch. Glad no one on either team got hurt.
I thought it was a great first game. Yea, we may have lost. But our PP looked soooo much better than last years and overall our effort was there. This NJD team is a really good team so we should be proud of this performance. Much better than last year
We can play with anybody
