Also annoyed me that the broadcast was showing replays while not letting us know the relevant information that a timeout had been called. The clock was running when the replays started, then rejoins the live shot 20 seconds later with the clock stopped.

Yep, no reason with that field position. Even if the Lions had stopped the Vikings, the likely would have backed up the Lions within the 20.

No let up now. Play the next 1:48 as if you’re protecting a 4-point lead late in 4th.

We can expect the usual 3rd quarter sag, so I hope the Lions score and run out most of the 1st half clock here.

Massive review coming up.

Chintzy roughing the passer call but in the Lions’ favor so ok.

So far it feels like the Lions are the better team.

Lol, Branch, you are supposed to drop that one, catch the other one.

That drive was a beautiful work of art.

The Wings are incapable of playing with a lead. A 2-1 edge for the Wings after 2 is flipped to a 3-2 deficit with 7 minutes to go.

Lousy sequence where Raymond hobbled off and then the Devils tied it seconds later. 1-1 after 1. Michael Hutchison in net for the Wings.

Kane is hot. Gives the Wings the 1st period 1-0 lead in Jersey.

Look at the 5th and 6th Philly goals at 5:55 mark and 6:35 mark. NHL goalies need to stop both of those.

Game recap for those who missed it: "Wings tied the game with under 5 minutes to go in regulation then converted twice in the shootout for a stirring comeback victory over the Metropolitan division's 2nd place team". Sounds good, right?

6-6. Win or lose, this team was a hot mess right now.

5-4 midway theough 3rd. Hope not a bad omen that I’m about to run into Safeway for groceries, just like what I was doing during the SJ 4-0 to 4-4 game. If I was a better fan, I’d probably starve myself for the food or team rather than tempt fate like this. I might get some pushback from my wife and daughter though.

5-3 after 2. Half the lead gone, and a full period left to possibly blow the rest.

We will just have to accept a regular hat trick. 5-1 Wings after 1 Edit: I’m wrong, Ghost not Kane for the 5th goal

4-1 now. Surely 4 goals will be plenty. Ha.

Wings off to a badly-needed quick start. 3-1 lead. We know the Wings are more than capable of coughing up a lot of goals though.

OMG I TURNED IT OFF WHEN IT WAS 30-7 IN THE 4TH QUARTER AND I WAKE UP TO FIND OUT THE RAMS ALMOST CHOKED IT AWAY!!! LET IT BE A 1-SCORE GAME AND THEN HAD TO HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE AT HOME AGAINST A MEDIOCRE SAINTS TEAM. HOW PATHETIC WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT. A GOOD TEAM WOULD HAVE NEVER LET UP INSTEAD OF LETTING THE SAINTS BACK IN IT. A WIN IS A WIN BUT THIS IS FREAKIN' UGLY. NO WAY DO I SEE THEM BEATING NYG NEXT WEEK. THE RAMS ARE TOAST.

It is a fact, not a rumor, that Josina Anderson writes sentences awkwardly.

I figured this was as good a thread as any to put this in. This is a bummer. I loved Ken Calvert’s voice, listened to him so much in the ‘80s

7 losses in 8 games, 3 points. Terrible. I really thought the Wings played through 25 games, almost 1/3 of a season, was more sustainable. They were getting depth scoring, had a strong goal differential, winning games in regulation. Sure, the Larkin injury was dirty, the Compher injury at same time was less than ideal timing, and then you add the Perron suspension and a bunch of games crammed into a tight timeline. But still, this stretch can change the whole season.
