Rough end to the 2nd period. 3-1 after 2, the Avs will be on the powerplay for the first two minutes.

It's depressing that Veleno's primary stats are no better than Helm's this year. One is 4G 3A 7pts in 35 games. The other is 4G 2A 6pts in 38 games. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2022/02/23/detroit-red-wings-rethink-best-options-center-joe-veleno-thrive-not-just-survive-nhl/6907022001/

Am watching Olympic gold medal game. A lot of no-names to me, but still a big event. Helsinki holds its breath. 2-1 up,over Russia with 6 minutes to go. Finland has never won gold. Guess who is on the ice for the Finns. Answer? Valeri Fillpula!

6 pts back of Boston. Bruins has 3 games in hand o

That shootout had everything. Zibandejad’s move was so good I almost pulled something just watching. Then Erne and Fox both failed to get off a shot. Strome missed a wide open net. Then Suter won it!

Bertuzzi has the best overtime chances. Larkin made a great defensive play! Off to the shootout.

Off to OT.

Wings lucky to still be tried after a yawning net for Zibanejad. 2-2 with 1:20 to go.

Powerplay coming up, insurance needed.

Not dead yet. 5-4 with just under 2 minutes to go.

No to trading Bertuzzi. Unless in a package for McDavid 🙂 . Don't need to stay in a cycle of trading players for prospects.

If I’m Connor McDavid after seeing Stafford win a Super Bowl I’d feel like marching into Kenny’s office tomorrow demanding a trade. Connor hasn’t even had an Olympics showcase. By this stage of career Crosby had 2 Cups and a golden goal.

The only World Series I've ever been to is Game 3 in '84. The Tigers won in a blowout, tons of walks, but one memorable play - great catch by Lemon in the 7th inning I believe.

Throwing a stick isn't going to deter beast Rasmussen from the empty netter.

Wake up!! I’m about to put on a pot of morning coffee.

My prime WJR listening years were 1975-1985 and it was a great radio station back then. 95% non-syndicated local content. JP McCarthy for morning drive time and then a serious noontime Focus show, Warren Pearce and Jimmy Launce late mornings or afternoons, Paul Carey with about 10 minutes of sports at 11:15 including high school scores during the Tigers’ offseason, Jay Robert’s all night with Night Flight 76.

His “Sportswrap” on WJR in the early 80s was the very first sports talk show I was able to listen to. I believe it was an hour a night 5 nights per week. Very rare back then.

Coaching change in Edmonton. I wonder whether Kenny considered Babcock for the position at all before Jay Woodcroft to replace Dave Tippett.

Nice way to start the post-break. 6-3 after Namestikov's ENG, Wings are going to win it.

5-3 Wings now, with a Givani Smith goal.

https://torontosun.com/entertainment/movies/lily-james-needed-dozens-of-fake-breasts-for-pam-tommy-series Lily James wore out 50 pairs of fake breasts when filming ‘Pam & Tommy.’ James required a new pair of fake breasts ever day during shooting to play the buxom supermodel. The show’s head of make-up, Jason Collins, said: “They’re made out of gel-filled silicone appliances, which move like real skin and absorb light similarly. We used a new pair every day for filming which meant having 50 made.”

Let’s play some hockey.

Speaking of the Olympics, interesting tidbit about Chris Chelios’ who is competing in Olympics hockey. For the States? For Canada? Greece? Nope. From today’s Toronto Globe & Mail: One such player this year is the son of a four-time U.S. Olympian, Chris Chelios. “Obviously I’m not Chinese but for the last three years I’ve been playing for the Chinese team, I’ve got the chance to live here and I love it,” Jake Chelios, who competes as Jieke Kailiaosi, told the Olympic news service this week.

Hang on, there was a All Star Game this weekend? I just thought there was a few days off due to the original Olympics schedule.
