Perron gets penalized 11 seconds in. That’s as fast as I’ve ever seen, except when thugs drop the gloves in the opening faceoff circle.

It’s Stars Wars Night at the LCA. I may be the only guy born in 1967 who has never seen that original Star Wars movie of 1977. Probably none of the subsequent movies either (I vaguely recall being in a theatre watching Empire Strikes Back, but maybe was just a trailer).

Home vs the Jets is a winnable game, but I think the Wings are due for a letdown game (the Seattle game wasn’t it, they played well enough to win) and am afraid this might be it.

Ironmen who never get injured.

Jim Stapleton Resigns- July 12, 2004 Tigers VP/Marketing & Business Affairs JIM STAPLETON, the "highest ranking African-American business executive" in MLB, has resigned after three seasons with the club, according to Terry Foster of the DETROIT NEWS. Stapleton said that he will "devote more time to his private business interests" and "thanked [Tigers Owner MIKE] ILITCH and the organization for making him a historic hire more than three years ago." Stapleton, on being a high-ranking African-American in baseball: "That is something I am proud of, but sadly, I have to give it up at this point." Foster reports a "significant business venture involving Stapleton is expected to be announced soon." Stapleton "has maintained control of his consulting firm, B&R Consultants," and he will also continue on the Univ. of Michigan athletic department board (DETROIT NEWS, 7/12).

Maybe Stalions was just sending friends around the league to take pictures of the other teams' cheerleaders.

Arizona's making it to the World Series shows the Tigers may only be 6 wins shy of being a contender.

Gostishere and Larkin both with 3 points tonight. Through 7 games, that brings Ghost to 3-6-9pts and Larkin to 4-10-14pts. Cat's goal brings him to 9-4-13pts.

Raymond had rang one off of the post 20 seconds before Seattle's winner.

His wickedly hot streak is Franzen-like

That would have been a lot to ask for the Wings to kill off back to back penalties late. 4-4 into OT.

I don't know how long this stretch will last, but am sure enjoying it while it lasts. This is a helluva lot of fun! 4-3 Wings.

Yet ANOTHER powerplay goal! Larkin ties it.

Gostisbehere tees up on a pass from Seider and blasts home a powerplay goal to cut the deficit to 3-2. Still 17 minutes to go.

Hey, that's a killer. Kraken player throws his stick to intercept the puck on a strong scoring chance. Seconds later it's back down the ice for a breakaway goal for Seattle. 3-1 after 2.

Wings look quite flat this period. But were tied until Husso gives the Seattle skater a lot of net to shoot at. 2-1 Kraken late in 2nd.

Kraken tie it on a goal seconds into a PP from a Holl penalty.

Veleno redeems himself with more difficult tip-in goal. 1-0 Wings.

They can thank Joe Carter for that.

How in the world did Veleno miss that?

One game for the National League pennant .. and the starters are Brandon Pfaadt vs Ranger Suarez, lol. Doesn’t sound right.

Speaking of that trade, Kubalik has yet to pick up a point in 5 games with Ottawa.

With a favourable schedule the next 6 weeks (as do the Lions).

Or Baltimore looked at season game film, seeing that teams weren't able to beat the Lions' offense and defense, and threw at the Lions new offensive and defensive game plans that the Lions had absolutely no answer for in real-time. I can't believe that the difference in rosters is that great. If they were to meet again in the playoffs, maybe Campbell et al will recognize how the Ravens completely exposed them and will have made adjustments to close that. Same reason I wouldn't have wanted Michigan to have had to play OSU in a rematch one month after last year's game.
