If not for LaVert and Reed it would be 30.

LaVert and Reed are the only reasons we're still in this game. Straight up!

That foul was soft as ****.

JB better leave Reed in. Duren can sit for the rest of the game for all I care.

How can you look this bad coming out of the half as a playoff team?

Cade is awful tonight. We're going to get blown out by 30.

And a shot clock violation. Do we have a bucket yet?

Can we fire everyone?

ANOTHER damn turnover. This one is getting out of hand.

Serious question, if he keeps going strong, do you just keep Caris in the game?

If they could just cut these turnovers down and quit being so damn sloppy with the ball they could be leading this thing comfortably. They are so sloppy this is ridiculous.

Also, why can't we guard this guy? We make him look like Detlef Struss out there. Yeeeeesh!!!

Would it be a technical foul if you just punch Struss?

Are these new number assignments based on how many games each player will spend on IR?

WTF is Cade doing????

Flopping is awful. That was such a flop and embellishment.

I'd say having an alleged rapist and man who groped woman in the White House is worse, but ok. You do you. I think Slick Willie was far worse. That doesn't even get into the dozens and dozens of bad policies that Bubba supported that ravaged middle and lower income persons and families.

I've argued this for years with regards to third party voting. If you are going to say that most or every Green Party vote that went to Jill Stein should have gone to Clinton, then you have to be willing to say the same of Libertarian Party votes that went to Gary Johnson and say those should be Trump votes on the right. Gary Johnson got 172,136 votes in 2016 in Michigan and Jill Stein got 51,463 votes in 2016 in Michigan. So Johnson hurt Trump more than Stein did Clinton. The numbers get even worse when you factor in the other right wing candidate, Darrell Castle, from the Constitution Party. These numbers hold in all the swing states as well, Johnson outperformed Stein. So in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Johnson took more votes from Trump than Stein took from Clinton.

This 💯 if he's using Diana to benefit the roster construction of his own team, as I alluded to earlier, it should be a fireable offence.

Not all of them are leaking information about the organization and its plans for roster construction to a reporter that covers the team, while they are sleeping with that reporter.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Pat Caputo today after a battle with cancer. Pat was not always my favorite of sports personalities, but he was one of the first I remember listening to growing up on WDFN and Team 1270. He was iconic here in the Detroit spots media market and was one of the very first all-sports radio shows in the market with his Book on Sports show. RIP Pat Caputo.

Is this a fireable offense for either Russini or Vrabel? For Russini, as a journalist, this clearly compromises her journalistic integrity sleeping with a source. So if she is still with The Athletic, I think it is a fireable offense. For Mike Vrabel, it is unfair and hypocritical to say Diana should be fired and he should not. I think he'll probably survive and not get fired, nor have to resign. But I think this clearly compromises his integrity as a coach and his ability to build a culture in the lockeroom.

Barack Obama once said "you didn't build that" and what he said was taken completely out of context. We had to have an entire election cycle's worth of TV ads bashing President Obama on his out of context statement and weeks worth of stories on Fox News about it. This was back in the 2012 election cycle, so in my libertarian days, I was probably one of the critics, criticizing Obama for it. Shame on me, I was wrong for it if I did it back then. But the amount of things that Donald Trump says on a daily basis, minute by minute, that would have torpedoed Obama's campaign is just insane. On gas prices alone over the last month, he's up to at minimum, half a dozen statements or so, that would have spelled disaster for Obama. It would have meant their campaign would be in damage control for multiple news cycles and we all collectively would have had to suffer through months worth of TV ads, digital ads, mail pieces attacking him on it. It is mind boggling how all in the name of "fairness", "bothsidseisms", and "revenue from ratings" we have to suffer through Trump saying these things while suffering minimal to no consequences as a result of what he said. It's frankly ****ing exhausting having to live through this blatantly obvious double standard.

Cossa had a .233 GAA and a .915 save%. He was to 8 in the AHL in save% and third in wins overall. Let's not act like Cossa is truly a bust. Yzerman just hasn't given him a chance to truly prove himself at the big league level.

So Montreal has a ROOKIE goaltender starting and winning a Game 7 playoff game. Meanwhile, our GM thinks so little of the goalie he drafted 4 years ago that he keeps Talbot on the roster over him. Why even draft Cossa? Just cut him if you think that little of him and admit he's a bust and that Talbot is a supreme being.
