Reimer has played as well as I would have expected from him, but I can offhand think of 5 oddball goals he has given up.

Smartest move would have been for Michigan to have removed the TRO application on Saturday night fresh off the victory over Penn St. "We wanted the TRO so Coach Harbaugh could coach today, but since we didn't get it we don't want to drag it out until next Friday the day before Maryland. So we're not going to waste time fighting your unjust suspension. We won on the field today and we'll just have to win next week and the week after. We're angry and we'll stay angry. We will not forget this". That would have achieved more than caving today.

The Red Wing goals called by Ken & Mickey today, for those of you who missed it while working. Only bums and n'er do wells watch Day Hockey. The Red Wings were recipients of lucky bounces on the 2nd and 4th goals so I guess I can't complain about Ottawa's winner.

Maybe they didn’t use him because Moore was so pre-occupied with head coaching duties he couldn’t focus on figuring out in-game fixes for how the offensive line was being exposed on passing downs.

Their offense was clicking way better in games 4-9 than in games 1-3 & 10.

Lyon starting tomorrow. Maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention - something up with Husso?

Sam Webb is shovelling. Can we please stop paying attention to him or giving any credence at all to his "inside" knowledge?

I would agree if the NCAA, BIG and Michigan had put out common statements that everything has concluded and that a 2 game suspension and fine was agreed upon. This isn’t that. Nothing to stop more leaks, more new findings, new NCAA penalties. Michigan is losing its head coach before a game next weekend it needs to win to preserve hopes of first national championship since 1997. A three game suspension to end this season may be as damaging as a full season suspension a couple of years from now would be. I don’t expect Michigan to be 10-0 in 2024 or 2025.

Not sure what Reimer was ducking from - maybe Stutzle’s follow through? His head nod made it clear sailing for the puck to go In.

Bizarre ending as Stutzle bats one out of air and into net with 2 seconds left in OT.

So the Wings have overcome a 4-goal deficit, a 5 on 3, a too many men on ice and a delay of game penalty to force it to OT. Given that, 1 point is already a win of sorts.

Horrible time for penalty for flipping puck over glass. 1:30 of regulation to kill off

Big kill. Still tied, just over 3 minutes to go.

This game has been dominated by Detroit since early in the 2nd but Ottawa has come on the past few minutes. Now the Wings take a too many on the ice penalty at a bad time, 5 minutes left in tie game.

Wings face a 5 on 3 for 1:11 early in 3rd.

3-point period for Ghost.

There must be more damaging info. Because it it was just a case of Michigan maybe not getting the injunction, would have been better to take chances in court. If Michigan had accepted a 2-game suspension, that could have been spun as both sides compromising. Michigan agrees to meaningful suspension but still has coach for the Game. Instead, for whatever reason Michigan became willing to accept defeat on this.

Me of little faith.

4-4. What a comeback. 4 goals in around 7 minutes.

DeBrincat! 4-3. All Detroit the past 10 minutes.

Perron makes it 4-2 and the Wings are outshooting Ottawa 28-18.

But have they got anything from the NCAA in this? Sounds like the BIG is dropping it but the NCAA is continuing their investigation.

Sweden’s Raymond gets the Wings on the board.

Loss.

What a dud. Has a meeting from 11am to noon PT so knew I would miss the 1st period but was looking forward to the 2nd and 3rd. Instead game is effectively over, 4-0 Ottawa, not even midway through 2nd.
