From the NHL.com game recap “Detroit, which was coming off a 5-3 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, didn't arrive at Scotiabank Arena until about 90 minutes before puck drop. Really good win,” Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. “Really unique 24 hours. Obviously, I haven’t experienced 24 hours like that, I don’t think anyone in the League has. Weather, mechanical issues (with the airplane), it was crazy. To show up for a 7 o’clock in the National Hockey League at 6:15 is very unique and unusual, but I thought our guys handled it pretty well. There was things we couldn’t control in the last 24 hours, but the one thing we could control was our effort and execution, and for the most part, a pretty good job by the guys.” The start time was pushed back half an hour from 7pm to 730pm.

He probably had to listen to Kelly rag all week about not getting a suite and fans not wearing Stafford’s jersey any more. As if she planned to be decked out in Honolulu Blue tonight.

Here am I calmly and coolly watching the final possession

Bite her kneecaps.

Which would be bigger and better demons to exorcise on the way to a Super Bowl appearance - Eddie Murray’s wide right FG attempt or Sterling Sharpe getting all alone in the final minute.

Who predicted at halftime that the 2nd half scoring would be Rams 6 Lions 3.

Just spotted this now. Came here to post.

Once I saw it going straight I figured it was probably short Didn’t trust my eyes until I saw the ref raise his arms

I think you have to pass it twice after the 2 minute warning.

That’s really the question. Do the football gods think we have suffered enough or are they rubbing their hands to tear one more piece of skin off of us.

I didn’t ask for a 40 second 3 and out.

Now need a long minute-munching TD drive. And then go for 2 to make it a 2-score game,

Copp wins it for the Wings with a tie breaking goal with 1:40 to go. Raymond adds the empty netter for the 4-2 final.

I smell a Stafford interception on this series.

I expected the Wings to be blown out tonight. It’s 2-2 with 7 minutes left in the 3rd.

Yep, and I think the Green Bay win has raised the stakes. How many times will even a very good Lions team have a chance to advance to the NFC championship game with a home win over a lower #4 or #5 seed.

I think this is one season in which many neutrals are cheering for the Lions.

What a huge swing that penalty could be. Probably would have added at least 3 points. Now Rams have time to score.

I wish he hadn’t gone out of bounds on the 1st down. Would like to bleeD some clock.

I was breathing a sigh of relief when it looked like the Rams were going to let the run down instead of snapping it on 4th down.

Dan is going to be hoarse by the end of this. Here is his call of the 3rd TD. Lions Go Up 21-10 Over Rams.m4a

Smart call by the Rams. 14-10. They probably would have gone on 4th and 1 anyways.
