Overtime. Wings have 52 seconds left on a powerplay to start.

Kane buries it in OT from Larkin and Chiarot!  Wow I thought the Wings were going to get run out of the building at first.

[lordstanley]

Winner! March is going to be exciting.

Hockey can be the most exciting sport sometimes.

Two periods for Lyon, one for Larkin and Kane. When Veleno's group went out there in OT you knew it would be touch and go to survive until the next shift and Lyon saved it for  them again.

Who knows, maybe Lyon is a guy who's never had the right coaches or lockerroom, or maybe he's fortifying his Wheaties, and he can keep playing like this for 40 or so more games, but that is what it's going to take unless Yzerman pulls a rabbit out of his hat ....that just happens to also be a right shot Dman.

I would love to see them get RHD Tanev to pair with Chiarot on the 2nd unit.  That's a playoff top 4

what would you give up for tanev?

a second round pick?  multiple seconds?

if the leafs give up a first then he's going to toronto.  calgary may be working for a first plus a prospect considering how desperate the leafs always are.

Apparently Beggren rejected a contract extension recently.  I'm guessing it was a low ball offer to get talks going, but who knows.  We could see Beggren used as a trade chip one way or another this deadline.

Let's see what a 2nd rounder + Berggen would get us, if anything. I'd be fine with giving up both. Not a 1st.

I would give up a 1st...if he signs an extension

9am Vancouver time. Coffee, bacon, eggs & Wings. Game is on ABC. Kane gives the Wings a 1-0 lead over St. Louis just 33 seconds in.

2 on 1 to make it 2-0! Raymond to Rasmussen.

3-0! What a start. The Blues don’t have their 1st shot on net yet. And here is a blast from the Motown Sports past:

Raymond is now 16-31-47 in 57 games. Last season he was 17-28-45 in 74 games. Rookie season he was 23-34-57 in 82 games.

more points than any 21 year old player.

that might be the best period they've played all year.  blues came in red hot.

[lordstanley]

DeBrincat’s 20th makes it 4-0 after 1. Complete dominance.

roll four lines.

sneaky under the radar story, yzerman hit on seider and raymond but has gotten zero contributions from anyone else in those drafts...

patience?  or misses?

[gehringer_2]

not counting last draft, which right now is looking nice, Cossa, Edvinsson, Kasper, maybe Solderblom still in play.

all first rounders except soderblom.  and soderblom has been a big disappointment this year.

[buddha]

its still too early to tell and there is positive news on mazur, wallinder, johannson, augustine, and even gibson.  

next year will be a good chance to see if dylan james, or buchelnikov, or lombardi continue to grow.
