"Oh- someone shot the President? What color was the guy who shot him?"

the other thing is that the single biggest reform that could be made, which is to stop corporate campaign funding, will 100% hit the television industry-since that is where 95% of those $ are spent. So the video press, who all work for the entertainment industry, and who might otherwise be at least somewhat positively disposed to reform, stay away from this issue like it's the plague.

maybe the Dems are learning that if you are going to be a 'reform' party, you actually have to be in favor of reform.

Do you think Alex roots for his brother Joey to beat his old team?

Game time chaos!

Did you know that it's actually a law that if you produce any film or documentary about Vietnam that song MUST be included?

I doubt you could get more than a 3rd rounder for Cossa straight up right now. So he won't be the centrepiece of a trade, but could be used to push another deal over the edge.

Game time has been moved up to 6:10 due to weather forecasts.

Good stuff Ratko

I have to imagine the Wings are trying to move one of their top 3 goalie prospects this offseason for immediate help. Guimond, Pradel and Gylander all showed some promise last season too I thought. It is a bit insane the goalie prospect depth they've built up, hope they can weaponize it.

Magoo?

Whether Cossa gets traded in the offseason, during next season, or sticks in Detroit for a long time, kudos to the front office for finding Postava. That was the kind of move that created value out of nothing. If Cossa does get traded I think the market will be good. Lots of teams will line up for a chance at a player who projects to be a strong #1 goaltender.

the confusion about the SOH is real, and the media is not really interested in figuring out what is actually happening. Problem is, do you believe the corrupt, totalitarian regime? or do you believe Iran? No good choices.

He can go to the AHL next season without passing through waivers, goalies get their ELC plus one year before they lose their exempt status. His ELC slid two seasons so right now he's in the third year of it.

Love is a little strong...but I do enjoy watching him fill lanes on the break immensely. Definite resign...agree a max is maybe a bit much...so we'll see

Harden and Mitchell on the perimeter. Allen and Mobley inside. Really tough matchup because it's not just about who you put Ausar on and if Cade will have the energy to guard the other. These are much better offensive creators than Bane who stands there and waits to shoot a three. Expect to see a ton of screens targeting Duncan and Harris to get them on Mitchell/Harden. Also, there are real concerns about foul trouble for both Ausar and Cade against some of the best foul baiters in the business. That's just the perimeter. On the inside you also have to deal with the fact that Mobley and Allen can totally shut down the inside and that's really the only place we can score. Allen is also a terrific offensive rebounder and we're not great at stopping that. If you're hoping for Super-Cade to save us, just know that he had a 44 TS against the Cavs this season. He also averaged 5.8 turnovers and was a -7.3 on the court. They had 4 matchups this season: Game 1: Loss 116-95. They killed us. They had everyone but Harden. Game 2: Win 114-110. No JD for us. No Allen or Harden for them. Game 3: Win 122-119. No Mitchell or Harden. Game 4: Loss 113-109. No Mitchell. This matchup is Piston's kryptonite because they can hunt mismatches on offense, get guys in foul trouble, and shut down the paint. We need our guys to get hot from three for a series to keep up with their ability to score since the paint will be very difficult to navigate, but that's just not really our strength.

This plus a media that isn't 1000% hostile would do wonders for restoring some semblance of the rule of law.

Will we see ron holland in this series? i hope so. tired of seeing duncan abused and missing threes. he puts the other team in the bonus almost single handedly. if he's not making threes there's little point to him out there. #freeronholland

i dont think cossa can stay in GR. he'd have to pass through waivers. its detroit or bust. but i could be wrong on that. which would actually lower his trade value.

"calf strain" might be detroit's secret weapon in the playoffs. i wouldnt be surprised to see harden or mitchell suddenly come down with a case of the "franz's" if it goes 6 or 7 games.

cleveland is a bad matchup for detroit size wise because they can take duren's game away like orlando did. but theyre soft and their two best scorers are notorious playoff chokers. i think its cavs in 6, but if it goes 7 i think detroit will win.
