Tarasenko has 13G 15A 28P in 44 GP this season. Last year for the Wings he was 11G 22A 33P in 80 GP.

ESPN ruins powerplays for me with these surname tails on every pass. I feel like I'm always being screened on the play.

ESPN broadcast just said he was skating in the pre-game warmup, with ASP expected to be healthy scratch, but figures Edvinsson must have tweaked something.

Ugly twist and fall for Sturm. Hope he's OK.

Missed the beginning (Wings lead Wild 1-0 halfway through 1st), why is Edvinsson out?

Pleased that Montreal has lost to Buffalo in regulation and Carolina has lost to Chicago in OT.

The drought is going to end. Teams 10-16 in the East are 11 points or more behind the Wings with 31 games to go for the Wings. 9th place Leafs are 9 back, I don’t think the Wings have had this much of a playoff cushion, not even 2 years ago in February. Teams 5-7 are 7 back of the Wings. The Wings are not a great team or even a very good team but who is? In the East, I think only Carolina and Tampa are better.

Biznasty not taking the loss well

Canadian Sportsnet call:

2-1 Wings win in the game. 4-0 Wings season series sweep of the Leafs 66-57 nine point lead in the standings for the Wings over the Leafs.

Overtime. The Wings deserve to win this.

Wings outshooting Toronto 12-2 in the 3rd period as they try to break the tie and get a 4-0 season series sweep.

Don’t know what was more feeble - the Wings’ power play or Laughton’s penalty shot attempt. Still 1-1.

Penalty shot for the Leafs!

Well-deserved tying goal by the Wings late in the 1st. Edvinsson’s 6th. The Wings have had most of the chances. Toronto 1 Detroit 1 after 1.

I at least feel better about our goaltending prospects than I did a year ago, most notably Cossa. Incidentally, Jesper Wellstedt has made 20 starts for the Wild this season with a 2.59 GAA and 91.6 Save %. Of course we all know they were picked 5 spots apart from each other in the 1st round in 2021, but I just realized recently that Cossa and Wellstedt they were born only a week apart. Both turned 23 in November. Jacob Fowler made 10 starts for the Habs this season with a 2.09 GAA and 92.0 Save %. He's 21, picked in the 3rd round in 2023. Fowler just got sent down because of a crowded 3-goalie crease, as the Habs also have 24 year old 5th round pick Jakub Dobes who appeared in 16 games last year and 22 games so far this season. Habs likely will dump Dobes this year and go with Montembault-Fowler.

No. I'd rather give up two seconds than one first.

A vocal Catholic QB wins the natty for a school from Indiana and it’s not Notre Dame.

All Indiana had to do on 2nd and 1 was not fumble or take an illegal procedure penalty and the title was in their grasp. Still a game.

I sure hope this didn’t come down to money. After Morton, I didn’t want a reach that may turn out well, I wanted a relatively safe choice. This is risky.
