2-1 after 2. So still losing, but not getting blown like in recent games? Still getting outplayed, but not as badly as in the 1st period. Low bar, grasping for positives.

Huh?

Sure needed that last minute goal by Rasmussen on a tip-in of a Seider shot.

Behind again, 1-0 Wings have been outscored 18-2 since being tied with NYI 3-3 late. That was only 9 days ago, feels like an eternity.

Wings @ Vegas tonight. 10pm start. Reimer in net.

Sabres beat Edmonton today so are 7 pts behind the Wings, with the Wings having 2 games in hand. But might be close enough for the Sabres to still feel they're in the race when they play the Wings twice this month. Devils still treading water at best, having lost to Carolina today. Penguins are playing at the Bruins right now in the 1st period. Flyers play at the Lightning later today, let that game not get to overtime please. Capitals should have an easy 2 points in Chicago, but that's what I thought about the Wings going into their game in Arizona last night.

Uh oh.

Yzerman presser summary.

In 2024 7-7-1 overall against teams above them in the standings, 3-5 on the road (including the past 5 road games against teams above them in the standings). That drops to 4-7-1 overall and 2-5 on the road if you remove the Kings (75 points) and Knights (73 points). Jan 4 - at LA Kings - win 4-3 (SO) Jan 11 - vs. Edmonton - lose 3-2 (OT) Jan 13- vs LA Kings - win 5-3 Jan 14 - at Toronto - win 4-2 Jan 17 - at Florida - win 3-2 (OT) Jan 19 - at Carolina - lose 4-2 Jan 23 - at Dallas - lose 5-4 Jan 27 -vs Vegas - win 5-2 Feb 10 - vs Vancouver - win 4-3 (OT) Feb 13 - at Edmonton - lose 8-4 Feb 15 - at Vancouver - lose 4-1 Feb 22 - vs Colorado - win 2-1 (OT) March 2- vs Florida - lose 4-0 March 6 - at Colorado - lose 7-2

Vegas gets Hertl. Lightning gets Dumba.

Yeah not sure he is any better than Yamamoto who the Wings waived in the same deal.

So Devils, Caps and Pens all selling.

Is Lindholm back on the market or was that only in an attempt to swing a 3-way for Guentzel?

I wouldn't want the chance of onside kick being much higher than 10%. A team up 2 in the dying minutes has been the better team, I want you to really, really earn getting two possessions in a row. Might need to go to 4th and 25.

Busy night tonight. You'd have to expect that by the end of the evening the Bolts (maybe the Flyers) will have moved ahead of the Wings and NYI will have moved within 2 pts of the Wings. The Islanders game starts at 10:30pm, all the rest are 7pm. - Philadelphia at Florida - St. Louis at New Jersey - Washington at Pittsburgh - Calgary at Tampa - NYI at San Jose

7-2 final. That's 3 losses in a row now, including back to back thumpings.

A puck squirts past Lyon with 33 seconds to go to make it 5-2. Bedtime for fans in the Eastern time zone.

Huge save on Fabbri prevents the Wings taking a lead into the intermission.

When I went to the Lions @ Niners, I chatted to Lions fans living in 12 states (Oregon, Florida, Utah, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, Washington to name an few) and 3 provinces. More, because that’s just people who identified where they’re from as we talked. On my Sunday morning Vancouver-SF flight day of the game, more than 10 people on a plane of 130 people were wearing Lions gear.

Wild.

Looks like a dads’ trip possibly. Or else some kind of organized tour.

Took a few whacks, but the Wings lead on a Perron goal.
