Don’t want to jinx it, but Lyon has been solid in this trip. Wings lead 2-1 beginning the 3rd, just killed off a penalty. Wings have killed off their past 20 penalties.

Even if the Lions had “rested their starters”, do we really think LaPorta wouldn’t have got some throws to him? I think it would have been about resting and protecting Goff, St. Brown, Gibbs and Hutchison, maybe Montgomery. Laporta would have been well down the list. And Raymond is exactly who would have been getting more action.

Matt Prater misses two field goals in the final minutes, including one as time expires, amd the Cards lose. Is it too late for Arizona to cut him and give him to the Lions?

Rams is a tougher matchup but losing to the Packers would be a harder loss to take.

Niners blow it. Rams it is. I consider the Lions the underdog.

Niners get the ball back with 55 seconds to go. Might come down to Jake Moody.

Carson Wentz has rushed 16 times today.

Rams lead. I would have loved the Lions to play Seattle. They haven’t been good all year and are losing to lowly Arizona in a must win game today. They beat the Lions at the Lions” lowest point last year then in OT earlier this year. Big deal.

Eagles down 10. Commanders poised to take lead over Dallas.

Honest, mature words by Donovan Edwards

Isn't that what Hutchison did against the Bears? Although that it was after a TD so maybe allowed as a celebration.

I'm still on board with Yzerman because while he stresses patience he is not standing pat. He is making a lot of moves, not all work out, maybe it's 3 steps forward 2 steps back, but he is trying things including in net.

Whinefest? The Wings have missed the playoffs 7 years in a row and their record this year so far is similar to this time 2 years ago. Fine, I get why, plus the Wings have built up a lifetime of goodwill with 4 Cups and 25 years of playoffs. So I can’t think of a fanbase of any team in any sport that is being as patient with their team and their GM as Wings fans are. We’re giddy over the Lions and Wolverines, while the Pistons have captured attention for being historically bad, so the Wings have lucked out by having their bad December stretch played in relative obscurity.

Victory! Raymond and Kane score in a quickly-decided shootout. Encouraging start to 2024.

The Wings were by far the more dangerous team in overtime, including two missed breakaways by DeBrincat. But shootout now.

Made it to OT.

C’mon Kings, it’s a non-conference opponent, stop trying so hard to beat the Wings in regulation

Looked like the Wings might cruise to victory as the Kings didn’t threaten for several minutes. But a wristler ties it 3-3 with 4 minutes to go.

Wow, 3 straight goals, I didn’t see that coming. 3-2 Wings with 7 minutes to go in regulation.

Can't argue with the production of a healthy Fabbri. Gets the WIngs on the board, but trailing the Kings 2-1 with 7 minutes left in the 2nd.

Washington sure seems like this year’s TCU to me. Heisman Trophy runner-up QB with a top receiver puts up a lot of points offensively, but lived a charmed life all season as a mid defense led to a lot of one-score wins and close calls. I know what happened last year against TCU but Michigan has learned its lesson. I see something like Michigan 45 Washington 24.

This increases the chances of GB getting the #6 seed over the Rams. Rams resting Matthew Stafford, putting potential playoff tilt vs. Lions in flux https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2024/01/03/los-angeles-rams-reportedly-resting-matthew-stafford-detroit-lions/72098235007/

It was dumb to use a 1st round pick on Cossa. Goalie development is too much of a crapshoot. Why pick someone who MIGHT make the NHL in Year 5 after his draft (Year 3 currently) when you a choose from goalies with NHL experience? Remember the Wings using a #1 pick on Tom McCollum in 2008? Played 3 NHL games in his career. I actually liked the efforts Yzerman made in finding Ned and Husso. Neither really panned out to expectations, but cost little and we can keep trying. There is no surefire way to get a strong goalie. Edmonton and Toronto have been trying for years.

Rasmussen for the block and goal into the empty net with 6 seconds to to. Raymond with 3 assists tonight. 5-3 Wings.

Larkin scores as he is falling down! 90 seconds away from first regulation win since December 12. Or maybe credited to Perron.
