Really good defending by the Rangers at the end. Or perhaps a function of the Wings' anemic PP. In any event, 6 on 4 for over a minute, had the puck the whole time, but no great chances created or developed.

Are the Wings going to lose another game on a baseball swing?

The Rangers have had a few dangerous-looking opportunities, point blank, but keep misfiring.

Ha, Raymond used the Ranger's stick to slash himself. Almost got away with a 4 minute powerplay! Rightly reversed.

Haven’t watched yet. Able to watch this upcoming 2-1 lead after 2.

According to this presser summary from the Grind Line Podcast, Kane is targeting his first start in 7-10 days. Buffalo, San Jose or Ottawa.

Stalions needs to stay away. Screw him.

Still a chance for a Roman-Orjii scene if they put Orjii back in at QB for a few snaps and let him complete a pass to Wilson.

That could also be paving the way for an argument to put Alabama in over Texas, which could be their biggest dilemma. "Sure, Texas beat Bama, at Bama, but that was way back in September at the beginning of the season, a lot has changed since then, Alabama is not the same team now it was back then".

I think Oregon is getting a pass with people assuming they're in with a win. Their big win, over Washington, would just avenge an earlier loss. Their only other top 25 win is over Oregon St. Sure they look great on the eye test, but I'd put them in the pot with Alabama (if beats Georgia) and Texas (if beat Okie St.) and pick two of those, rather than automatically lifting them up.

Yes, the salacious rumor seems way too easy, I suspect it is completely fabricated. But he did SOMETHING, I wonder what it was. If it was a tweet, it would be posted. If it was an assault, there'd be a police record. If it was substance abuse, it would be explained differently. Hazing or bullying of Bedard?

Sounds like you got it.

I’m a bit confused by this.

I’m good with this signing.

No spot fouls now on this Hail Mary.

Now take three knees.

Win or lose tonight, Dobbs-mania may have had its moment come and gone.

And here's the offensive productive at the 1/4 mark. DeBrincat has slowed from his torrid start, but is still roughly a point per game, as is Larkin and surprisingly Gostisbehere. Most players' G-A-Pts look as good as I would have expected, except Veleno and Rasmussen. Probably would have expected more points from Copp and Seider by now, I guess.

Looks like they are getting Duke’s coach, Mike Elko. He was a co-ordinator at A&M for a few years before leaving to be head coach at Duke.

20 games is pretty much the 1/4 mark of the 82-game season. The WIngs are matching the Leafs' 1/4 record or better, which is what I mostly care about, lol. On pace for 102 points. Have created some separation over other playoff contenders like NJ, Buffalo and Ottawa.

If Michigan loses and Florida St. and Texas both win, that's a problem, even if Georgia beats Alabama. While I usually love college football chaos, I think it's best for Michigan if there's no chaos this weekend. If Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida St. all win, that's a winnable semi-final for Michigan. An Alabama upset over Georgia would be bad in that respect, because it could set up a #1 Michigan for a semi against an SEC opponent.

Signgate has peaked.

Bruce did a great job that 2nd period, but he always felt bad he mixed up the defenseman's name on the big McCarty goal. It's like going to the symphony and the concert pianist makes one wrong note that everyone but himself barely notices.
