Larkin comes flying back after the Olympics! Both of the Wings’ goals in a huge win.

Overtime.

1-1 with 6 minutes to go. Need at least a point tonight with tough Carolina up next. Both Montreal and Boston have 1-goal leads late.

Larkin ties it up.

That “goal” was overturned and instead Ottawa opens the scoring on a powerplay late in the 1st

Rasmussen scores the first goal after the Olympics break. Will Ottawa challenge for offside?

Exactly (agree with everything except the little bro swipe, lol). The Damien Cox column in the Toronto Star about Matthews was one of the lamest things I’ve ever read. Look, the loss stung, and in a bout of self-flagellation I’ve watched a lot of the partying and the WH stuff, more as a fuel to get pumped for the 2030 rematch. Losing big games is supposed to suck, that’s what makes winning big games so fun. The over the top reactions by some of my countrymen, especially in the media, has been downright embarrassing. https://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/auston-matthews-made-his-choice-seemingly-putting-trump-ahead-of-the-leafs/article_5f28fc48-2724-4545-9e3e-d5c122ab7584.html

This is an interesting name. Tyler Myers of the Canucks. Don’t think you’d have up too much to get him. Outlets like TSN say the Wings are all over this https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/looming-tyler-myers-trade-a-blow-to-rebuilding-canucks/

The Wings are now out of the Atlantic top 3 and are in the 1st wildcard spot. First objective is to make the playoffs but I really want a division 2-3 finish as I'd be confident going into a series vs Montreal, Buffalo or Boston. Less so from the wildcard spot against Tampa or Carolina.

You're absolutely right, even though I posted it Kypreos is practically a meme at this point.

This isn’t a newflash, but Tage Thompson is a big, big man.

So last year he had a good Four Nations but USA lost and with a quiet trade deadline he was unhappy. I think the Wings will make a couple of moves, but I think there's a big difference between playing well and losing in the Four Nations and playing well and winning in the Olympics. Hope he is on a high coming back and the mental gain from this makes up for the physical drain.

I can’t think of too many pre-9am sporting events (“Breakfast at Wimbledon”?, Ryder Cup some years, maybe some World Cup games?) but 21mm is a nice number. Won’t translate into bigger NHL ratings going forward i don’t think, as the Olympics are a different beast

McLellan thinks that Larkin will be at the rink Wednesday

Damn, if only things had gone a bit differently Sunday this would have been Club Stereo in Montreal yesterday with a different anthem.

This is a helluva stat. Team Canada isn’t hard done by with a silver medal

Will Larkin be getting any time off? First game Thursday. I’d think of resting him until at least Saturday’s game.

I get it, but meanwhile north of the border…
