Honest, mature words by Donovan Edwards

Isn't that what Hutchison did against the Bears? Although that it was after a TD so maybe allowed as a celebration.

I'm still on board with Yzerman because while he stresses patience he is not standing pat. He is making a lot of moves, not all work out, maybe it's 3 steps forward 2 steps back, but he is trying things including in net.

Whinefest? The Wings have missed the playoffs 7 years in a row and their record this year so far is similar to this time 2 years ago. Fine, I get why, plus the Wings have built up a lifetime of goodwill with 4 Cups and 25 years of playoffs. So I can’t think of a fanbase of any team in any sport that is being as patient with their team and their GM as Wings fans are. We’re giddy over the Lions and Wolverines, while the Pistons have captured attention for being historically bad, so the Wings have lucked out by having their bad December stretch played in relative obscurity.

Victory! Raymond and Kane score in a quickly-decided shootout. Encouraging start to 2024.

The Wings were by far the more dangerous team in overtime, including two missed breakaways by DeBrincat. But shootout now.

Made it to OT.

C’mon Kings, it’s a non-conference opponent, stop trying so hard to beat the Wings in regulation

Looked like the Wings might cruise to victory as the Kings didn’t threaten for several minutes. But a wristler ties it 3-3 with 4 minutes to go.

Wow, 3 straight goals, I didn’t see that coming. 3-2 Wings with 7 minutes to go in regulation.

Can't argue with the production of a healthy Fabbri. Gets the WIngs on the board, but trailing the Kings 2-1 with 7 minutes left in the 2nd.

Washington sure seems like this year’s TCU to me. Heisman Trophy runner-up QB with a top receiver puts up a lot of points offensively, but lived a charmed life all season as a mid defense led to a lot of one-score wins and close calls. I know what happened last year against TCU but Michigan has learned its lesson. I see something like Michigan 45 Washington 24.

This increases the chances of GB getting the #6 seed over the Rams. Rams resting Matthew Stafford, putting potential playoff tilt vs. Lions in flux https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2024/01/03/los-angeles-rams-reportedly-resting-matthew-stafford-detroit-lions/72098235007/

It was dumb to use a 1st round pick on Cossa. Goalie development is too much of a crapshoot. Why pick someone who MIGHT make the NHL in Year 5 after his draft (Year 3 currently) when you a choose from goalies with NHL experience? Remember the Wings using a #1 pick on Tom McCollum in 2008? Played 3 NHL games in his career. I actually liked the efforts Yzerman made in finding Ned and Husso. Neither really panned out to expectations, but cost little and we can keep trying. There is no surefire way to get a strong goalie. Edmonton and Toronto have been trying for years.

Rasmussen for the block and goal into the empty net with 6 seconds to to. Raymond with 3 assists tonight. 5-3 Wings.

Larkin scores as he is falling down! 90 seconds away from first regulation win since December 12. Or maybe credited to Perron.

These are not good teams.

Perron ties it.

Nope, they will need to score 4 or more. Trail 3-2 with 10 minutes to go.

Think the Wings can actually get a win by only scoring 3 goals? 2-2 now.

Sharks may have just tied it at 1 late in 1st. Play is under review but I think it is a flukey but valid goal. Confirmed.

Need to turn the page on the dreadful December. The Wings aren't out of it, but they've gone from banking points to digging themselves a hole.

Band gets 3 seconds to celebrate, then right into their instruments for a 20-second musical interlude, then get to resume the celebration.

Lol

I thought before the game that Michigan could win but JJ would have to have a great game and Michigan would have to be largely mistake-free. Neither happened but they still won. I'd give the defense an A+ and JJ a B and special teams an F. The win probability, in my own melodramatic mind, went something like this: - Kickoff: Alabama 55%, Michigan 45% - Muffed punt into Alabama TD: Alabama 90%, Michigan 10% - End of 1st quarter: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - Halftime: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - End of 3rd quarter: Michigan 50%, Alabama 50% - Midway through 4th quarter: Alabama 80%, Michigan 20% - After Michigan tied it 20-20: Michigan 50%, Alabama 50% - Start of OT: Michigan 60%, Alabama 40% - After Corum's OT TD: Michigan 75%, Alabama 25% - 4th and 3: Michigan 80%, Alabama 20% (less than 50% chance for Bama to convert, then I'd still favor Michigan in 2OT)
