5-3 after 2. Half the lead gone, and a full period left to possibly blow the rest.

We will just have to accept a regular hat trick. 5-1 Wings after 1 Edit: I’m wrong, Ghost not Kane for the 5th goal

4-1 now. Surely 4 goals will be plenty. Ha.

Wings off to a badly-needed quick start. 3-1 lead. We know the Wings are more than capable of coughing up a lot of goals though.

OMG I TURNED IT OFF WHEN IT WAS 30-7 IN THE 4TH QUARTER AND I WAKE UP TO FIND OUT THE RAMS ALMOST CHOKED IT AWAY!!! LET IT BE A 1-SCORE GAME AND THEN HAD TO HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE AT HOME AGAINST A MEDIOCRE SAINTS TEAM. HOW PATHETIC WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT. A GOOD TEAM WOULD HAVE NEVER LET UP INSTEAD OF LETTING THE SAINTS BACK IN IT. A WIN IS A WIN BUT THIS IS FREAKIN' UGLY. NO WAY DO I SEE THEM BEATING NYG NEXT WEEK. THE RAMS ARE TOAST.

It is a fact, not a rumor, that Josina Anderson writes sentences awkwardly.

I figured this was as good a thread as any to put this in. This is a bummer. I loved Ken Calvert’s voice, listened to him so much in the ‘80s

7 losses in 8 games, 3 points. Terrible. I really thought the Wings played through 25 games, almost 1/3 of a season, was more sustainable. They were getting depth scoring, had a strong goal differential, winning games in regulation. Sure, the Larkin injury was dirty, the Compher injury at same time was less than ideal timing, and then you add the Perron suspension and a bunch of games crammed into a tight timeline. But still, this stretch can change the whole season.

The Wings must lead the league in giving up 5 goals a game.

Kane makes it 4-2. Will this be another time when we come back from a big deficit but still fall short?

Wings desperately need to stop the bleeding, but are trailing 2-1 to Winnipeg midway through.

Wings after 31 games: 2023-2024: 15-12-4=34 points. 5th in Atlantic. 11th in East. 1 point behind final Wild Card spot. 2022-2023: 13-11-7=33 points. 6th in Atlantic. 12th in East. 5 points behind final Wild Card spot. 2021-2023: 15-13-3=33 points. 4th in Atlantic. 8th in East. Held final Wild Card spot.

I'm taking a knee if Minnesota has no timeouts left. Barring some strange stuff happening to SF, the Lions are not going to get the #1 seed. For #2 and #3, the difference in opponents between #6 and #7 is not yet known and probably not meaningfully better or worse. So it's really about homefield for the 2nd weekend of playoff games. That's not a big enough carrot to risk losing the division and a 1st round home game and dropping to the #6 seed. I'd rather sew up the division and then hope Philly unexpectedly drops a game so that the Lions get #2 after all.

Dream scenario: - Lions win next 3 to get #2 seed. Behind SF #1, ahead of Philly #3, Dallas #5. - Lions, at home, win wildcard game against Rams or Hawks or Vikings or whomever - Lions, at home, beat Philly in conference semi. Dallas upsets SF in the other semi. - Lions, at home, beat Dallas to advance to Super Bowl - Lions beat Browns or Bills, two teams with their own history of heartbreak, to win Super Bowl

Next chance to clinch is just 3 days away. Rams host the Saints.

#2 seed is in play. Realize though that this pending win mag increase the chances of the Lions having to face the Hawks in the wildcard round.

Seahawks lead!

That’s more on Lock. The Seahawks eerent ready, likely wouldn’t have converted on 4th and short if they had to snap it. At least they got 3 out of it.

17-13 Eagles with 10 minutes to go. Still a winnable game for Seattle. I’m cheering for Seattle but it is kind of a no lose situation for Lions fans.

Two goals by DeBrincat were too little too late. Yuck. A 4-3 loss to Anaheim is a big problem.

Wings losing 4-1 at home to the #30 team in the league. It’s like the Larkin cross checking incident wrecked them

Husso hurt. It’s down to Reimer! Something happen to him and we may need to fetch Zamboni driver.

Wings have to dig depp, keep the season i track, as 4 games in 6 nights including trips to Winnipeg and Philly. Anaheim out to early 1-0 lead.

Larkin is back for tonight against Anaheim.
