  1. 50 degrees Fahrenheit and Messier is wearing a toque.
  2. Wings fall behind 2-0. 3rd clunker game in a row?
  3. A few minutes of Avs pressure culminates in the game’s opening goal. 1-0 Colorado.
  4. Puck dropped for Avs @ Wings on ABC. Avs have shown a few cracks recently, so don’t know whether that means they’re vulnerable today or will be bearing down extra hard to reverse forms.
  5. There's a chance that Leafs Elimination Day and April Fool's Day happen at the same time!
  6. Too late for your show, but No Anchovies Please by the J Geils Band
  7. Book "recommendation", although not a pleasant topic. We Breed Lions by Rick Westhead. Published in November 2025, just finished reading it. Even people familiar with stories about Logan Mailloux, assault of Kyle Beach, Dan Carcillo, the London Five, hazing, etc. should be disturbed by new revelations in this book and how deep and wide is the problem. https://www.amazon.com/We-Breed-Lions-Confronting-Troubled/dp/1039012930 In We Breed Lions, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Rick Westhead does a deep-dive into the state of hockey in Canada today. He gives voice to those who have been sexually assaulted by hockey players, revealing the struggles they've had with local police officials in their efforts to seek justice. He also goes inside the dressing room to find out how attitudes of misogyny and homophobia continue to flourish, and speaks to former players who were forced to perform degrading acts of initiation in order to “be one of the guys.” Looming large in Westhead's extraordinary reporting are the gatekeepers of the game—league officials, team owners and members of the sport's governing bodies—who are reluctant to impose change from the outside and willing to sacrifice the well-being of their players and the community for profit. Westhead offers hope for hockey's future, profiling those individuals and organizations who are committed to educating players around issues of consent, putting an end to hazing and redefining what it means to be a man on and off the ice. Featuring a Foreword by bestselling author Stephen Brunt, We Breed Lions is must-reading for parents, players and all of those who love the game of hockey and want to see it get to a better place.
  8. Cage could parachute onto the field for the opening game.
  9. St. Louis beats Florida on a goal with 7 seconds left in regulation. The Wings are now 11 points up on 9th place Florida (2 games in hand on the Wings) and Washington (same number of games played as Wings).
  10. 2 goals and a crossbar in a shootout will usually be enough but not tonight. Wings lose.
  11. I wonder if any gambler placed a Fan Duel parlay bet and is waiting on the Wings.
  12. Rather be lucky than good. Tie game.
  13. Wings leaving it late again. Pull to within 3-2 but only 1:40 to go.
  14. In case anyone cares, the most points by a Poland-born NHLer is Mariusz Czerkawski with 435 🙂
  15. Caps regain the lead. The East's #1,2,4,5,6,7 and 8 teams have all won tonight.
  16. Habs, Sabres and Bruins have all jumped out to 2-goal 1st period leads and the Wings game hasn't even started yet.
  17. Who the hell is Sheldon Dries? I had read earlier on Twitter a flu bug was going around the Wings. Update: wait, Sheldon Dries played 63 games for the Canucks a few years ago but I’ve never heard this name in my life? Am I just sleepwalking though life?
  18. Two legends going "neck and neck" from 4:15 to 4:50
  19. There was an old line from Larry King or someone that went something like this: "There are 20,000 hockey fans in New York City and 18,000 of them go to MSG several times a year to watch the Rangers".
