Horsesh*t in the horseShoe

McLellan did call out Larkin for his play in the first Columbus game. Not sure whether he said anything yesterday.

We bought one when our daughter started to drive. Simply there in the event if an accident, so we have a record instead of a he-said she-said. It’s not a distraction, easy to remove anytime, and automatically records over old footage once full.

Wings lose outdoor game to Columbus in controversial ending. They outshot the Jackets 46-21. They better nip this in the bud, can't repeat early March of last season.

Augustine and a 1st (Wings will pick higher than Florida) would have been enough and, yes, I'd do that.

Wings irate, justifiably so IMO, that a penalty wasn't called on the winning goal.

I would have done this deal. Jones at $7mm is fine.

A minute after the Wings tie it, the Jackets regain lead on a disputed goal. Under 2 minutes to go.

Kane gets the Wings close, 3-2, tons of time left.

Two Columbus goals 32 seconds late in the 2nd period and it's 3-1 Jackets after 2. Wings need to respond, can't lose back to back games in regulation to a team you're battling in the standings.

Too bad no video of that prison game, could’ve been like Johnny Cash’s Live From Folsom Prison https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/44055526/detroit-red-wings-stadium-series-outdoor-game-prisoners-marquette

Game isn't even on TV here in Canada, five other games are though.

David Johansen, who had been the last surviving Doll, dead of cancer at 75

This guy once seemed to have so much potential.

St. Louis' Binnington might be available. I was on him hard all throughout the 4 Nations, as was much of Canada, but he was amazing during OT.

Wings seemed flat all night. 5-2 final after an empty net goal.

Might not be the Wings' night. 4-2 down to Columbus with 15 minutes to go in the 3rd regulation. First leg of the home and home with culminates in the outdoor game in Columbus on Saturday.

I have no idea, but I'm guessing it is someone who logged a lot of games all in one season after being acquired by trade around May and then released at the end of the season. As opposed to a fringe AAAA player who got called up in September a few times but never made the roster out of spring training. Could be an everyday player acquired by trade in May, but maybe the chances of being gone from the Tigers at the end of that season would make it more likely to be a utility player or middle innings relief pitcher? I'll also take a wild guess that it was sometime between 1952-1989, my thinking being that it seems like there were more competing cards companies and specialty cards after that may have snagged a player for a card mid-season. So now I'll go and see if there was a utility infielder who, say, played 80 games for the Tigers in 1977 but never again, maybe even was released late in the season. Update: 1977 didn't work. So went back to 1976, and found 2B Pedro Garcia who played 77 games for the Tigers after having played 41 games for Milwaukee that season, then played all of 1977 with Toronto. I remember, even though he played so little with the Tigers. I must remember him getting coverage as an inaugural Blue Jay. Hell, I'll go with Pedro Garcia as my answer. Edit: Damn!

Best thing about the Edvinsson winner was the contribution by Soderblom and Johansson. If you had told me at Christmas I’d be typing those words 2 months later …

Right. You really need to do well when you get your chance. Jeff Blashill after being fired by the Wings has spent the past 2 1/2 years as assistant coach with Tampa and I can’t see him being of head coach interest to any other teams either.

Wings with 66 pts now are 4 pts up on 9th place - Boston, NYR and Ottawa all have 62.

Great comeback road win!
