Bugger. Flyers win 4th straight. Just before the All Star Break they looked like a team all set to fade. Devils win too. Wings need 4 points on this tough 4-game Western swing.

Lol,so I guess I’m just old and absent minded even when I think I’m paying attention. Next year I need to watch Nickelodeon and have Dora explain everything to me.

I know, I just found that out this morning. I guess I”m dumb for not knowing about the rule change. I suppose they mentioned it during the OT coin flip which I was in the kitchen for, but did they mention it all during the drive? Changes so many thingss.

I definitely think there was an argument to go for it. You had plenty of field to work with, not just the endzone, so I think 4th and 4 from the 9 is easier than 4th and goal from the 4, say. If you’re stopped, you’re still ahead by about 15 yards of field possession compared to giving it to them on the 25 after a touchback. Your defense has played well all night so you’d be trusting them to prevent the Chiefs from at least gaining 45 yards or so to move from their own 9 into FG position. That’s true either way, but by kicking a FG, you’re guaranteeing that the Chiefs would be using 4 downs the entire drive, whereas if the Niners had tried and failed the Chiefs would probably punt on any 4th down in their own territory. All things considering, I think I would have gone for it.

Swifties who only started watching football in October have already seen their team win a championship.

Is the marriage proposal coming up or will there be a couple more commercial breaks first?

He made up for it with 55 and 57 yards field goals. Miss one of those but make that extra point and no one would blame him at all, but would have meant two fewer points overall.

Overtime.

So far today Moody has held a record that lasted about an hour for longest Super Bowl FG ever, then missed an extra point. Pretty good chance he will be asked to attempt a FG to break a tie inside of two minutes in regulation.

24 points by the Lions in one half against these Niners looks impressive.

Chiefs have done absolutely nothing except for one big play that was immediately followed by a fumble. Lucky to be down only 3-0.

Yep, just showed Joe Montana ramping up the crowd. And I’m thinking it could have been the NFC championship game’s other honorary captain instead, Barry Sanders.

The Lions will make two Super Bowls by the year 2030.

Speaking of suspensions, Morgan Reilly should absolutely get the 6 games Perron got. The crosscheck was just as bad, and reacting to a hot dog play is worse than reacting to a hit that injured the captain. I bet Reilly will onk6 get 2 or 3 though

For sure. The Sprong pickup is looking pretty good too.

Penalty shot in OT! And Walman buries it and does the Gritty!

Nice fightback for at least a point.

Wings tend to have lousy 2nd periods and good 3rd periods. Including today. 3-3.

What a disaster. Wings show little on 7 straight powerplay minutes, then Hronek scores getting out of the box

What a waste of a 5 minute major. Best chance was the Canucks on a 2 on 1. Now another 2 minutes after a high sticking

And the Wings basically replaced his offensive production with Gostisbehere, who has 32 points in 49 games. Hronek had 36 in 51 before today.

Hronek assisted on the tying goal moments ago. Had been scoreless in past 9 games going into today.

I think it's time for DeBrincat to start scoring. 18g-25a-43 pts in 50 games, but front-loaded.
