Someone, anyone needs to win this in OT. A tie is the worse result for the Lions.

Bears recover the onside kick! Need a TD to tie, 1:56 to go.

5 minutes left in the 4th and the Packers and the Bears both have had only six possessions each.

Comprehensive 5-2 victory. Did wobble a bit in the 3rd, and will be grateful for the waved off goal that would have made it 4-3, but strong road game against a decent opponent.

4-0! Seider breakaway.

Wings are dominating.

John Leonard with his 1st goal for Detroit. Has scored one goal each in 4 different seasons with 4 different teams. Can he match or exceed his career high of 3 goals in a season, with the Sharks in 2021.

My mother died a couple of weeks ago and we put together a playlist of some of her favorite songs/artists. Roger Whittaker, Anne Murray, Nana Mouskouri, John Denver, Kris Kristofferson, various hymns.

Another interesting wrinkle as far as playoff implications. If the Bears win their next 2 games, they'll have clinched the division and likely would have little to play for against the Lions (bye likely out of reach). If that happens, the Lions will need to hope that GB also lost to Baltimore or that GB would lose their final game at Minnesota.

True, but at least I'd be there 🙂, like I was for Tigers @ Mariners in October.

Just like with the Bears-Packers game, there's good and bad with each outcome. On the one hand, the Lions can no longer beat out Seattle for a playoff spot. On the other hand, if the Lions do beat out Chicago or Green Bay for the wildcard and get seeded #7, if and when it comes down to play the #1 seed "perhaps" at Seattle is a bit less daunting than at LA Rams? There's still a way the Lions could beat out an NFC West team for a wildcard - if the Lions win out and SF loses out at Indy, vs. Chicago, vs Seattle. Of course we'll be cheering for Chicago over SF, so counting on the Niners losing out is only a desperate fallback.

Wild that the team many considered to be in a tier of its own in the NFL, the Rams, could well be the NFC’s #5 seed.

Rams had a 16 pt lead and the ball with 8 1/2 minutes left in the 4th. Now with 5 1/2 minutes left the game is tied and the Seahawks will be getting the ball back after a punt after a 3 and out.

Snipe.

Finnie finally gets the Wings on the board. Wings trail 2-1 with 8 minutes to go.

This feels like a trap game. Back to back vs Utah, Cam Talbot in net.

There is a real chance that the Lions could go into the final slate of games with a chance to finish #2, #3, #6, #7, or #8. We’ve seen what it takes for the Lions to win the division: Lions win out and the Packers and Bears lose at least 2 of 3. That’s likely the #3 seed, but is bumped up to #2 if the Eagles lose at least 2 of 3 (home and home with Commanders, @Bills). Lions could fall short of the division but still get the 2nd wildcard, #6 seed, if they beat out not only one of Chicago/GB, but in addition Seattle or San Francisco finish 0-3. Of course all that help from out of town would be a moot point if the Lions lose that game to Chicago to finish#8.

There's probably an obscure NFL rule just for the Lions that if you exit the end zone on your own accord and re-enter the field of play you are continuing the process of the play so if you then take a knee at the 1 the points will be taken away and you'll be marked down.

There are no great teams in the East this year. Only 3 teams in the conference have a better goal differential than +7.

Could the NHL please take all of March off this season for the Olympics?

Big win! Back in 1st place in the Atlantic.

DeBrincat gives the Wings a late lead!

Isles tie it after DeBrincat had given the Wings the lead. 2-2 with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd.

ASP makes a lot of defensive mistakes but at least he is scoring points. 1-1.
