Looks like Ian Anderson will get pulled, after 5 no-hit innings and 76 pitches. OK, I get why they are taking him out, but I hope next year pitchers start going deep again once they're not all coming off a Covid-shortened 2020 season.

Not sure the Wings will be playing meaningful games in March, but nice to see them playing meaningful games in late October. It's a start.

Ha, 20 minutes ago I was going to reply “why is Sam Gagner on the team”? Then he goes out and scores, albeit without having to do much.

Nice pre-game ceremony with the Aaron family. Go Braves!

Raymond for himself in nice position there in the final seconds. But 2-0 after 1.

Bad goal. 2-0.

I wonder how the Wings’ home attendance has been? Some of the Canadian teams have had empty seats

Ha, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a guy more open on a breakaway than Huberdeau just now. Darn, Panthers take the lead

Hot start to the season for the Panthers. I haven’t heard this ESPN broadcasting duo before

I don’t think she is that hard on him for then but for now. “He is not 22 anymore”. His comments about how great Stan Bowman is and how this will impact his livelihood

Thanks!

Done

I listen to Power Alley on Sirium XM in the morning and maybe turn on the MLB Network during the day when they're on location like this week. Otherwise, I just monitor the actual game for an inning or so at a time or when I notice on the MLB app that there are runners on base in a high leverage situation. If I see a bases-empty home run, it was probably that I tuned in by fluke or in the 8th or 9th inning.

Anyone know what's up with AA or where he is? I don't see him on the stats sheet for any NHL team. He did sign a 1 year deal with LA last December and put up 23 points in 46 games for the 20-21 season, but then I can't find anything. Update: I see an "IR" note on a contracts site, and that he may have re-singed with the Kings on a one-year $2.7mm deal (20-21 was $1.2mm)

Kyle Beach identifies himself as John Doe. Brave guy went through a lot, took on a lot of people.

Blackhawks lead for the first time all season ...2-1 over the Leafs in the 3rd, hee hee.

One stinker, against the Habs, but otherwise a competitive start to the season. I feel better about 4-2-1 after three road games than I did after 2-1-1.

Raymond to Larkin to the Win column!

Nick Jensen seems to have established himself in Caps lineup. Was a +9 going into tonight.

Wings get a point! Big save by Greiss with about 3 minutes to go.

Stan Bowman out! https://chicago.suntimes.com/blackhawks/2021/10/26/22746928/blackhawks-fire-stan-bowman-al-macisaac-bradley-aldrich-sexual-assault-investigation-results Stan Bowman’s 12-year reign as the Blackhawks’ general manager and hockey operations president is over. Bowman and right-hand man Al MacIsaac, formerly the two most powerful people in the Hawks’ hockey operations, were forced out Tuesday. Their departures headline an organizational overhaul enacted after releasing the results of an investigation into the handling of allegations that former video coach Bradley Aldrich sexually assaulted two players shortly before the 2010 Stanley Cup championship.

I am high on Raymond now (not necessarily so on draft day until I heard from some of you guys who loved the pick), but it is probably not realistic to expect a 19-year old rookie to keep pace with the 4 Leafs COMBINED all season.
