Tuttle throws a huge 4th and 18 pickup, then throws a pick.

who had 7 losses on their pre-season prediction card?

I generally don't worry about shot differentials much. The Wings take fewer 'nuisance' shots on goal than many teams. That said, no doubt they were on their heels pretty badly for about a quarter of that game.

really thought this one was over after Nashville tied it. Early in the 3rd it looked like the Wings were skating in molasses, Preds beating them to every loose puck. But it looked like the Preds overextended themselves and by the 10 min mark Nashville was losing the initiative. Seider being a big physical presence on the ice=good. Seider in the box=bad. Something he needs to watch.

Gipson-Long is the one to watch, might have some upside there if the TJ went well.

The language needs to more precise than that offered. 'Manage their system' could be administrative and have no direct connection to scouting and development, or not.

Funny thing is that the mic went dead just as he was about the say the word 'Tariff'. Maybe an inside job on the part of his handlers to slow him down on the subject!

Guy writing this sounds like he doesn't think it's going to be much of a loss for the Jays. 🤔

Right. The system magnifies the differences. Reagan polled 50.7% and won 44 states. Even with no 3rd party votes, Bush I won 40 states with only a 53.7% majority

Yup. Harris has run pretty much a mistake free campaign, has hit all the marks, dotted all the i's, and the party supposedly has a ground game in place. The last candidate to do that was Obama in 2008.

lets not be naive, though they paid for the banner, Bally was never a presence. I'd have to guess there is little chance that will be true of FanDuel, who seem more likely to try to monetize every square inch of your screen and every line of dialog in the PBP.

I'm not sure if I just hit the right live feed but appears the Mics have gone dead on Trump in Det

There has to be a lot of contention about the value of the Tigers' rights. Diamond probably complaining the current rights fee is a money loser and team countering that going forward a winning team in Det will be a gold mine....

So Ilitch re-upped the Wings but not the Tigers. Gonna be a long lonely summer for the FanDuel channel with no baseball....

Certainly novel, but hard to prove since the counter arg is that reducing population increases per capita wealth for the remainder, which undercuts any argument to the detrimental side.

And that he’s gone in a week? 🤬 at least that offers some hope the general level of play may have some upside.

The UM regents, in a moment of sanity have struck a blow against virtue signaling and have adopted an institutional neutrality bylaw. Students and staff should get a reprieve from inboxes full pronouncements from their Deans , managers and administrators about every issue of day that have nothing to do with their mission.

Kid better perform or we are going to look dumb!

The best government corporations can buy!!

I'm not questioning that they have a couple very good players now in Raymond & Larkin. They don't have enough dominant ones and that's what I was referring to wrt the players in the pipeline. Kasper should be good, will he be dominant? Sure Seider is a dominant player, but he is .....one guy (and even there I'm not sure Lalonde knows how to use him). Larkin is an occasionally dominant player and it would be nice if he started channeling it because as you have noted, he isn't right now. If you are only working with 'good' players, you need almost every one to be good, and I don't see yet that either.

what I find frustrating is that they seem to be stuck in purgatory. They aren't bad enough to get high picks, but basically haven't improved much in the last three years either. There are some nice pieces working their way through the system but none of them strike me as likely all-stars. I suppose Cossa is the one guy that at least in theory has an outside shot at becoming a beast and so we turn into what the Sabres were with Hasek, a bad team that can win more than it should. Obviously the NHL isn't the MLB, but the Wings haven't been able to build much roster value by rehabbing guys or trade turnarounds like the Tigers have. Hronek for the picks will yet pan out we hope. Maybe they'll shake off a poor start and be better, but soon would be nice.

Just to play Devils advocate for a minute - The counter point to going after Bregman is that you have a 3 WAR player in Vierling who may not have a place to play if Carpenter, Meadows and Greene stay healthy or Wenceel improves a little more or AHM locks down DH. Now granted, Vierling's D in the OF is plus while his play at 3rd is maybe average at best, but even given that, how much are you willing to commit for an upgrade that may be not be that big (WAR wise, Bregman was 4.1 last season, Vierling 2.9) if it turns out he's replacing Vierling instead of Jung?

It seem to me the other question is how desperate would Taiwan be? How much revenge will they extract in a lost cause? There have to be 400 million Chinese living cheek by jowl along the Pacific coast, does the PLA have the air defenses to keep Taiwan from killing literally hundreds of thousands of mainlanders before they go down? People tend to talk about wars in much neater terms than they actually happen.

Detroit vote is going to sink Trump in MI. He's committed political malpractice here. This isn't 1980, there is energy in the city today and a reflection of that is that they are going to vote.
