The Canucks are a weak team. 3-1 Wings with 7 minutes to go.

Would like to see Kane get his 500th now. My daughter is at Panthers @ Habs tonight. She has cheered for Florida for years due to the Luongo effect and is sad that “Marchie” was scratched due to an injury incurred the other night vs Toronto. Montreal is up 2-0.

Isn't it a bit strange that Benetti and NBC is a story already? We've always had speculation in the press and an online about potential free agent signings. Trades. Manager firings and hirings. Even rumours about broadcast rights deals. But speculation of who might get a PBP gig? Is Benetti's PR man working overtime or get paid by each X/Twitter mention?

I read a post on Twitter that supposedly one of the things that got Harbaugh fired was stubbornness to management about him not wanting to move on from Monken. So I suspect that Harbaugh, who will have his pick of jobs, will take Monken and Monken will follow him.

Shareef: greatest Vancouver Grizzly ever! (the ultimate “tallest midget” honor)

I’ve said this a thousand times. The two biggest barriers to inclusion in minor hockey are time and money, both of which you need exorbitant amounts of now. Rec/house leagues are disappearing in favour of travel teams and later academies. It’s so messed up

The Wings need to play better. The Sens outplayed them all night. But I’ll always accept a road win in regulation over a division rival. Detroit 5 Ottawa 3

Didn’t know where to put this, but because he often talks Lions…

The Giants’ win over Dallas dropped them from #2 for the draft to #5.

Dan Miller’s call of the game winner. Somewhat subdued of course, as Miller went on to say after this clip that although this is the Lions’ 4th straight winning season, obviously not where they wanted to be. Bates Beats Bears.m4a

Bad clock management.

Yes, I think he does. But if the players take just a bit of the edge off of the intensity (10%), the performance and outcome can drop by more than that (25%) in the NFL, IMO. That's enough for the Lions to win this. Which I want them to do. A bonus of the Bears dropping to the #3 seed would being able to cheer against the Bears AND the Packers both next week, instead of them playing each other and one advancing.

I don’t think the Bears care too much about the #2 seed. 13-0 Lions.

Then what's the point of divisions? You can't have the opponents for more than 1/3 of your games be decided by which division you're in if winning that division means nothing. I'd be fine with either a) winning the division means a playoff spot but you're seeded based on record; or b) moving to a 16-team conference, get rid of home and away pairings against one opponent in the same season, and take the conference's top 7 teams for the playoffs.

I heard this a lot the past couple of weeks on my TikTok feed. Has a National feel to it, IMO. I am out of it, so didn't realize that the guy who is behind Bleachers, Jack Antonoff, is well-known for writing a bunch of stuff with Taylor Swift.

The Wings still have the most points in the East - not point % as other teams have multiple games in hand - but have the Atlantic’s worst goal differential, at minus 7.

3-1 Pens after the ENG. Total domination.

Wings are being smothered at 5 on 5. Only chance might be if they luck into a late power play.

Midway through the 3rd and the Wings are being outshot 25-12. Only down 2-1 so am still holding out hope for an undeserved point.

Worst I’ve seen the Wings play in awhile. Lucky it’s only 2-0 and game isn’t out of reach. 5 minutes left in 2nd. And DeBrincat just scores!

Sluggish 1st period for the Wings, down 2-0. Wearing their regular reds not the anniversary jerseys.
