And now Mason gets a 2nd chance and scores! 3-2 Wings with 41 seconds to go!

Appleton almost won it for the Wings on the backhand. 1 minute to go in regulation, 2-2.

Tie game. The Wings have done nothing since taking the 2-0 lead.

I didn't expect the Wings to kill that. 7 minutes left and it feels like a 2-1 Wings win or a 4-2 loss are equally likely.

Nice hit by Finnie but a bit careless on the stick by Larkin puts the Leafs on a PP.

Leafs back in it.

When did the Leafs lose their speed?

Talbot has had some big stops this period already.

Ahh, nice fake by JVR, 2-0 Wings!

Ahh, nice fake by JVR, 2-0 Wings! Oops, now I have to find a way to explain how this post is Tigers-related, rather than admit posting in wrong forum by mistake.

Not sure, but doesn’t look great. So this “update” no surprise

Despite a whopping 24-10 shots total in favour of the Leafs, the Wings actually lead the Leafs 1-0 after 2. Long way to go, but 20 minutes from a weekend home and home sweep.

In the late 19th century my ancestors came from Poland, where vowels are at a premium. Decided to Anglicize our original surname and I guess one of them had the bright idea of putting in three consecutive vowels. Which means the last name is now frequently mispronounced and/or people try to replace the middle vowel with a consonant.

Matinee hockey in Toronto for the Wings on Canadian Thanksgiving. Just turning it now. Larkin scores late in the 1st on a brief 6 on 4 to give the Wings the lead.

I don't think Tiger pitching would have held the Jays to two hits after Friday night's game. I wonder if the Tigers would have risked having Paddack on the ALCS roster to use him as the Game 1 starter. Keider Montero and Melton both pitched Friday and they would have saved Mize for Game 2.

Just about everything has gone wrong the past 10 minutes or so of game time.

Hard to believe the Lions will be trailing this game at the half.

Huge drop by St. Brown. Could be a 14 pt swing.

Who the hell is Thomas Harper, lol? I guess now I know. As do the Chiefs.

Flag a minute after the play ended? That even beats the flag against Dallas.

The Niners have had a rough couple of seasons on the injury front.

Did you hear about Anthony Richardson's injury today? The backup to Daniel Jones so of course wasn't going to play so how did he get injured? Wait til you hear ... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46572199/colts-richardson-inactive-hurting-eye-mishap-band Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after sustaining what the team described as an eye injury during pregame warmups. According to the Colts, Richardson was doing warmups with elastic bands when a mishap resulted in him being hit in the eye. No further details were available. According to a source close to Richardson, the incident occurred in the locker room, where there is an apparatus players use to attach the warmup bands to when utilizing them. That device, the source said, malfunctioned and the band forcefully hit Richardson in the face. He was left with a substantial injury and needed to be taken to a hospital. The injury was likely to require stiches, the source said

Good find. And Verlander pitched 122 in the 2012 complete game Game 5 I referenced and 111 in the 8 innings of 2013 Game 5. Scherzer was pulled after 7 innings and 108 pitches of Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS against Boston in which he had given up 2 hits and 2 walks with 1 run and 13 strikeouts.

At one point on Friday's broadcast, I heard a reference to Game 7 of the 1924 World Series. It was a rare postseason all-or-nothing game that went to extra innings. It's a game and series that doesn't quite get the attention it deserves. Here's a fun 13 minute video about it. The series was between the NY Giants and the Washington Senators. The Senators, a charter 1901 American League franchise, won their first ever pennant that season. The legendary Walter Johnson joined them in 2007, played his whole career for them, and finally in his 18th season at the age of 36 had a chance to play in the World Series. Unfortunately for those interested in storybook endings, it looked that Johnson had missed his moments, losing his two starts in Games 1 and 5. In Game 7, the Senators were trailing 3-1 in the 8th inning and Johnson was sitting on the bench. Rather than spoil it for those who don't already know what happened 101 years ago, I suggest you go to the 6:23 mark of the video and see how the deciding game played out. Enjoy actual game footage that was found in an attic in 2014.
