  1. Not having a lead going into the 3rd means the Wings won't just keep dumping the puck and allow the opponent to just keep coming at them. We'll actually forecheck and try to score instead of going into a shell. That Vegas game still irritates me, no way should we have gone to OT. Terrible coaching...
  2. I look at it as cost per game. Its less than $1 per game.
  3. Agreed. It's not just the asking price, it's also his salary. It would really limit our ability to sign some of our guys as well as signing any free agents
  4. Agreed. It seems like the best position for Perez is RF and we have that covered by a few other guys. I read that Carpenter is getting some time in LF with the hopes of giving Greene some games as DH so as not to wear him out. So if Carp starts in LF against RH pitchers, Perez would be a LH bat to start on RF? I dont know what Hinch will do but I do know the team that comes north isnt the final team. Usually there are some changes made going into April or May. But, come on, Meadows has to hit, at least a little bit. Toledo is calling his name.
  5. Well, to be fair, the little I've seen of him in spring games, he does look overmatched. But the coaches, and Hinch, will make that call. And...in Hinch we trust...😅😅
  6. 9 years with no playoffs and we're finally not sellers. Not really buyers either but...baby steps. The patience with Stevie was getting thin 2 years ago. Now it's gone. I loved him as a player but as a GM? Yes, the cupboard was bare when he got here but...I've seen enough.
  7. I guess I don't understand how the GOP will allow one of their members to leave the senate, since they have such a slim majority. But it just might not matter, huh?
  8. Yeah, SA did a very good tank job in order to get him.
  9. And most of his shots have been very low percentage shots. Leading to several SA fast break points. Sometimes he should give it up and...pass the ball.
  10. The Pistons aren't playing good defense and they shoot too poorly to overcome poor defense. The result is a blowout....
  11. The very best Twitter comment;
  12. Playing stupid...sitting on a 3-1 lead didn't work. Against a team like Vegas....keep the pedal to the metal. Don't go into a shell. Late in the 3rd period, the Wings had one shot on goal. One shot in the period...sorry. but they earned and deserved that loss.
  13. I agree...another billionaire company reaching into our pockets to extract a bit more out of us. But I look at it like this, it doesnt really matter, in my case. I'm going to cancel FanDuel in mid-April so that $20 will go from them to this new streaming service. And that MLB app works much, much better than that clunky FanDuel app. So it's just a switch of services. There will be a one month overlap so I can catch the end of the Piston season and I'll miss the Wings next fall but hope to catch them on some regular TV. The Pistons are still my concern, no way will FanDuel only carry them.
  14. I just filled up in metro Detroit. $2.87 per gallon.
  15. And a solid team defensive effort
  16. Every game, LaVert hurts this team. Why is he even in the rotation?
  17. I found some info on Peacock and sporting events. I hadn't even heard of this. Thanks for the heads up! https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2025/10/peacock-youtube-tv-nfl-excluded/
  18. The media loves war. CNN has 24 hour coverage of the middle east. Not even a whisper of the Epstein files. Trump's distraction seems to have worked. You're right, I wouldn't put anything past this corrupt administration. There were actually bets on when the US would attack Iran? That's just too easy for the liars and cheaters....grifters gonna grift.
  19. The Bond villian-one-eyebrow raising effect...I love it...
  20. NBA wasn't. When the Pistons were on Peacock, they were also on FanDuel. Peacock is a subscription channel, I searched for it and it's not in the line-up. Do you say it will be broadcasting baseball without a subscription? That would be cool...
  21. The annual price for this new service isn't a very good deal for baseball fans who don't care about hockey. The regular Tiger season goes from April thru September. 6 months. At $20 per...it's $120. (Actually, the season starts in March but the 1st payment is April 1st.)
  22. Lol...I would have to pay for it if I wanted it. I get NBC but not Peacock.
  23. So where will the Pistons end up? No way will FanDuel stay afloat with only them. It looks like I'll sacrifice the Wings regular season games and just buy 6 months of this new streaming service. April thru September for the Tigers and then switch to where ever the Pistons end up. The Wings will be on national TV for the playoffs, I hope. And if they dont even make the playoffs (again), it won't even matter. Missing a season of bottom feeding hockey won't upset me.
  24. So I have to pay another service...Peacock...Apple TV....Fanduel Sports (for Wings and Pistons) and now another streaming service. On top of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and YouTube TV. And MLB TV. The limit and patience has been reached. These billionaires keep figuring out ways to separate people from their money. <rant over>
