That was a helluva opening game. I’d prefer not having a 2 week gap, but this is WAY better than a joke All Star Game

Lucas Raymond gets the 3rd star.

I’m cheering a Mitch Marner goal?!

“Lucas Raymond comes over the boards”. During 1st minute of overtime.

Not sure, have only seen one mention of it on Twitter. Canadian tv nit mentioning it, if so. Here’s Raymond’s 2nd assist.

Tie game.

Shea Theodore out with wrist injury. Pray Lucas Raymond or Dylan Larkin don’t get injured.

3-2. Goaltending is Team Canada’s weakest link.

Sweden has life. 2-1. Binnington should have had it?

A goal in the first minute and now a beauty on a 2 on 1. 2-0 Team Canada! LFG!!!! lol

I don’t watch the Pistons as much as I used to, but 67-22 is pretty good, right?

National anthems of the Soviet Union and O Canada by the incomparable Roger Doucet. I guess the Soviets were allowed to play the 1972 Summit Series because their leaders were kind-hearted and peace-loving back then.

Take the north too -Yukon, NWT and Inavut. Few people, tons of resources we’ve been too lazy to uncover. A great April Fool’s prank years ago was a planted story about Taiwan delegation showing up in Whitehorse with all-cash offer .

You can have Quebec. Their only rep on Team Canada is 3rd string goalie Sam Montembault of the Habs. Quinn Hughes out of the tournament.

Saquon has 31 yards rushing and the Eagles are up 24. Who would have guessed that?

24-0 Eagles at halftime. Will Taylor write a sad song about this blowout?

Mahomes is having one of the all-time bad Super Bowl 1st halfs.

The Fox score graphic is humungous.That’s not the one they used all year.

So we've reached the February break, at roughly the 2/3 mark of the season. Tampa at 5 points up on the Wings and the Leafs at 7 points up on the Wings are not completely out of reach if the Wings stay hot, but I'd say catching either is highly unlikely. Nor does it really matter, IMO - 3rd place in the Atlantic to face a 2nd place team isn't going to be much tougher than facing a division winner from a wildcard spot. At the other end, Montreal and Pittsburgh and Philly are all 6 points back of Detroit and the Wings have a game or games in hand on all 3. So let's dismiss them for now, unless one of them rises up after the break and shows otherwise. That leaves, to simplify matters, 6 teams for 2 spots. No reason the Wings can't make the playoffs. They're as good as any of those teams and of the other 5 I can see only the Rangers possibly going on a tear. The Bruins have been poor this year.

Hell I’d take a 6th rounder or a bag of pucks if it could be done without retention.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, from the Canadian government.

Perhaps you should ignore the dismissal in my reply yesterday. This from an Islanders’ beat reporter:
