The Leafs will attempt to make history on Wednesday by becoming the 31st franchise since 2004 to win a playoff series.

30 years ago one of the most hilarious hockey calls ever.

Oilers-Kings is a great series. Three of four games have gone to OT. Series tied 2-2 heading back to Edmonton.

So already have been swept by the AL East's two weakest teams, Boston and Baltimore. This balanced schedule is not going to help the Tigers' already dismal cause.

Darn.

Tampa should be up 2 games to 1. 4-2 would have been a different game.

Why do the Jets do a white-out when the hometown Jets wear solid blue?

1969. Two of my favorites. Man oh man. Take me back.

The only series I'm really watching is Oilers-Kings. I want the Oilers to go all the way. Of course I follow the Leafs-Bolts score closely, but don't like wasting my time on it unless I can't avoid it.

His first appearance on Letterman, especially the final 2 minutes, rocked me. It’s still one of the most talked about comedy routines ever, I hear comedians referencing it all the time. Joe Rogan recently, for example, was going on about its impact. Similar to the content of the clip you posted, but I think the big thing about the Letterman appearance is that we were all hearing it for the first time. I do think Kinison wore out his welcome though and his shtick got old after a couple of years.

Longest current winning streak in the AL.

Carpenter-diem, seized the day.

When was the last time the Tigers had 3 straight walkoff wins? I can’t even remember the last time they won 3 games in a row, period.

I don't want to tease people by posting here and have them come looking for a Red Wings prospect update, only to disappoint. Having said that, junior hockey probably isn't worth its own thread but I'm eating up these spring playoffs and this is probably the closest thread for another exciting highlight. Sarnia's buzzing, man, up 2-0 in the 2nd round. Trying to get over the hump and keep going into the OHL conference finals for the first time ever if they can close out Saginaw.

Pitch that to Duracell.

I was going to say stay classy White Sox fans, but when have White Sox fans ever been classy

Thanks, I hadn’t heard. Is this a surprise? I don’t know enough about the Grifins to say.

Sunbaked Stands

I don’t recall interacting with Brian Bluhm, as I joined the MTS board partway through the 2006 season and mostly lurked that season. But I remember that tragic day in 2007, I was attending an executive program at another campus in the northeast when the news broke.

Nevin at 1st today, batting 6th. Off day for Torkelson.

Super! In high school I was the only one who stayed up to watch Carson and Letterman. I’d shamelessly lift jokes from them and use them in homeroom the next day without attribution.

Detailed notes by a blogger from Yzerman’s season ending presser.

The Tigers going on a 19-4 tear in the 23 games after starting the season 2-9 will go down in Tigers lore.
