Plenty of blame to go around. No winners in the Wings organization on or off the ice the past decade. Everyone is tarnished by it.

30 years old but with minimal playoff experience and begs for a trade from a team that has faded down the stretch year after year will be valued somewhat differently than a 30 year old warrior who has led his team to playoff series wins.

lol, “we want the point” chant broke out in final 5 minutes on Vancouver’s Granville St. 1-1 final, Canada’s first ever point at the World Cup.

It should be 1-0 Canada, Jonathan David had to have done better. Edit: and now it’s 1-0 Bosnia, blech.

Yeah, we are not getting Larkin for #2 overall and Misa. I will even LOL it. I think a few pages ago I asked whether Larkin + Cossa would be in a conversation for #2 overall alone, and even that I really doubt SJ would say yes to.

Alanis Morissette, who has lived in California the past 30 years, chosen to sing O Canada at World Cup opener in Toronto. Isn’t it ironic.

I did one in Gelsenkirchen, Germany in 2006 before Poland vs Ecuador as we made our way into the stadium (I saw your post on the previous page about being Polish-American; four of my greatgrandparents were born in Poland and I made around 15 trips to Poland in the 2000s). For a country that has seen its share of defeats on and off the soccer field over the centuries, our fans sure were (over-)confident about making easy work of the South American side. Instead got smoked 2-0, oof.

Let's go!!

So none of the 27 players who got MVP votes are playing in the Stanley Cup Final.

Massive screen at the Vancouver Fan Zone. It is at least twice as big as the one in my living room.

When does the NHL’s transfer portal window open?

7-2 in June. Three straight series wins. +30 run differential in June.

It was clever, but then again they’ve had 2 1/2 months to plan it. 🙂

6th time in nine June games that the Tigers have scored at least 7 runs. That matches how many times the Tigers scored at least 7 runs in the 60 games between March 26 and May 31.

If I were the Blues, I’d be ticked at the Wings about this. Either Gave is mis-reporting, Gave’s source in the Wings is misunderstanding, or the Wings revealed info that now once out could damage the Blues’ relationship with a star player.

Two world class players is being generous. Davies is injured and likely will miss the Bosnia game. David has slumped. Bombito is injured and likely will miss the tournament.

Canada is also playing on home soil, in an expanded tournament, with a real coach. So round of 32 is the minimum target, and if they win the group (vs Switzerland, Bosnia, Qatar) Vancouver will host that game. On the other hand, Canada has 0 wins and a whopping 2 goals scored total in their illustrious World Cup history, so they may well lose to Bosnia, lose to Switzerland and draw with Qatar.

He was one of the speakers at Home Plate Detroit, the faith outreach program held once a year at Comerica. It was last Saturday before the Mariners game. https://www.homeplatedetroit.org/downloads/2026/HP2026 - HOME PLATE Promo Flyer.pdf

8 games back of 1st place Cleveland.

Yet another 2-goal lead gone. Vegas has come back to tie it 3-3 late in the 2nd.

Larkin may not want to play in Canada and he probably wouldn’t like the Montreal microscope, but the Habs have a need and they have assets. Such as assets they had been willing to part with for Knies.

Nico Hischier for Dylan Larkin straight up. Hischier is 2 1/2 years younger and as good as Larkin, but an extension beyond his remaining year would be higher than Larkin’s cap hit.

Maybe amidst all the yapping in the U.S. dressing room at the Olympics, Quinn Hughes told Larkin he had wanted to be traded to the Wings from the Canucks but that Yzerman didn’t commit to what it takes to get a deal done. And that getting out of a toxic mediocre (at best) situation like Vancouver was the best thing he has ever done.
