Still lots of time for Jameis.

Wtf, why the hell are you spiking?

Wasn’t that offsides?

Today has been one jaw-droppingly bad play after another.

I never expected the season to end today. This morning, I was thinking GB and Chicago matching our win today would be a disappointing outcome.

Oh for god’s sake.

Accidental or not, that kick to Goff’s head had to be called. Penalized more than hitting the goalpost during the celebration than hitting the QB.

The defense has been as bad as the offense. Absolutely cannot allow a TD here.

So about that “the Lions haven’t lost 2 games in a row since October 2022” streak …

ASB must have a hand injury

Meanwhile Bears are up 7-0 and GB is up 7-3 already.

Oh boy.

You should be allowed to jump once the play clock hits zero, even if the ball hasn’t been snapped.

Aaron Rodgers is out. Mason Randolph will be starting today’s game against the Bears. We wish him the very best!

Pivotal stop.

DeBrincat! OT winner!

Comeback! Wings were down 3-1 to Columbus, have just tied it with 6 minutes left in 3rd

We should submit a Detroit Lions Confidence Report of each poster prior to each game. I'm higher than Questionable, but less than Full.

One thing I can't fault Yzerman for is trying to fix the goalie position. He has drafted Cossa and Augustine. He has brought in a string of experienced goalies that seemed they could pay off like Bernier, Nedeljkovic, Husso, Lyon, Reimer, Talbot, Gibson. You'd think ONE of them would have turned into a reliable #1 by now. But noooooo.

Josh Allen is getting thumped by the Houston defense, especially in the 3rd quarter. Sacked four times tonight.

4-0. Geesh.

Ugh, laying an egg vs NYI tonight. 3-0 Islanders early in the 2nd, Horvat has just scored.

The Wings have had at least 25 points through 20 games in 3 of the past 4 seasons including this one. They were 11-6-3 in late November 2023. They were 11-5-4 in late November 2022. One difference about those years is that the Wings were well off the division lead because the Atlantic was stacked. In past years, Toronto-Tampa-Florida-Boston were a wall you had to get through to secure one of the Atlantic's three guaranteed playoff spots. That doesn't exist this year, IMO.

TSN's Core 4 U-24 ranking is out and the Wings rank #6. That's down from #3 last year, but not bad considering Seider is no longer counted. https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/article/canadiens-top-tsns-core-4-u-24-team-ranking-for-second-straight-year/ TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button and FloHockey’s NHL Draft & Prospect Analyst Chris Peters assessed every NHL team’s collection of assets 23 or younger (as of regular season’s start Oct. 7) – blending evaluations of current level of play with projected further development to assign 2025-26 grades. Players are labeled AAA (superstar), AA (elite), A (No. 1 goalie, top-pair defenceman, first-line forward) or B (tandem goalie, top-four defenceman, top-six forward) or C (backup goalie, depth defenceman, bottom-six forward). Listed are all players rated B or better, with C players included only to round out Core 4 lists. The Habs are #1 with Hutson and Demidov both with AAA and Slavkosky and 20-year old goalie Fowler both at A. I was wondering where is goalie Dobes who has gotten a bunch of starts this year but he's already 24. Personally, I'd put Hutson as only an AA, probably Demidov the same. Wings at #6 have Raymond as a AA and Augustine, Edvinsson and ASP all as As. Then, although not counting in the Core 4 U-24, listed are all the Wings they assign a B to: Kasper, Finnie, Plante, Bear, MBN, Genborn and Cossa. Should Edvinsson be an AA? And wait, where's Danielson?! The teams between the Habs and Wings are Chicago (led by Bedard and Nazar), San Jose (led by Celebrini and Will Smith), Anaheim (Leo Carlsson and Gauthier) and Utah (Cooley and Guenther). Ottawa is #8, Leafs #23, Bruins #25, Canucks #26, Oilers #27, Tampa #30, Florida #31 and Vegas #32.
