Ohio State cheaters! I can't decide whether this is the biggest scandal in the history of the Big 10 or the 2nd biggest.

I vaguely recall Detroit sports fans doing that some years ago for some reason. Was it a Harbaugh flight when he was rumoured to be joining Michigan? Or something else that instead didn’t pan out?

A business contact of mine used to have season tickets here in Vancouver 5 rows up in the upper bowl, on the aisle, right at centre ice, about 5 ft from the ramp into the concourse. Perfect! He said when he’d give them away to clients, now and then he sensed some disappointment when they found out they weren’t in the lower bowl.

Exciting at least. Have you been to any Pistons game this season? Must feel like two different arenas with the opposite trajectories of the home teams. I was listening on the NHL app on my phone in the grocery store, so a bit delayed, the 3rd Wings goal was being reviewed, yet the app's scoreboard was already showing 4-0. 30 seconds after my radio caught up to 4-0, I got a text from my uncle saying 4-3!!!

I would pay to see you try.

Ann Arbor to Pasadena is 2,200 miles and 3 time zones. Seattle to New Orleans is 2,500 miles and 2 time zones. Comparable. With plenty of time to prepare, travel and adjust.

That didn't take long. 6-5 loss in OT. Win or lose, Lalonde surely would have had a stiff talking-to the team tomorrow.

Sharks tie it on a favorable rebound off the end boards. Fabbri's hustle moments before that had almost resulted in a clinching ENG.

Lead back! Did a young woman get murdered a moment after the goal went in? That screech.

That sounds more like "finalizing the contract offer" than "finalizing the contract".

A lot can happen during one run to the grocery store. It is a way to take my mind off the price of meat, I guess

Even steven after 2 periods. Like they always say, a 4-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey. Wait …

6 goals in 3m 1s. Wild.

Two short handed goals or three?

Goal explosion.

In the 2nd period I’ve only been listening while doing errands, but Ken Kal has been calling Kostin’s name anoit well before the goal.

Wings were badly outplayed in the 1st period. Lucky to be tied 0-0 after 1. Kane did have one of the best chances of the period a few minutes ago.

With the Wings seemingly having elevated themselves to a solid wildcard team now, I'm as interested as ever as to what injections of young talent we can expect to receive so that wildcards aren't the Wings' ceiling the next few years. Who realistically are upgrades to the current roster and when could they be expected to hit the NHL? Everyone on this thread has a better sense of this than I do, so please modify the stab I'm taking at it: - Edvinsson, D, 2023-2024 season (drafted #6 overall, 2021) - Kaspar, C, 2024-2025 (drafted #8 overall, 2022) - Danielson, C, 2024-2025 or 2025-2026 (drafted #9 overall, 2023) - ASP, D, 2026-2027 (drafted #17 overall, 2023) - Cossa, G, 2026-2027 (drafted #15 overall, 2021) Guys like Mazur, Wallinder, Soderblom, Baium, Lombardi I guess all have shots at making a future roster, but unlikely to move the needle, no? Anyone I'm missing?

Fabbri just seems so fragile though. Btw, Jakob Vrana has 2 goals and 4 assists for 6 points in 16 games for St. Louis. Tyler Bertuzzi has 5 goals and 4 assists for 9 points in 22 games for Toronto. Dominik Kubalik has 4 goals and 1 assts for 5 points in 20 games for Ottawa. Filip Hronek has 2 goals and 23 assists for 25 points in 26 games for Vancouver. Pius Suter has 4 goals and 0 assists for 4 points in 15 games for Vancouver. Adam Erne has 0 goals and 1 assist for 1 point in 12 games for Edmonton. Alex Nedeljkovic has a 2.18 GAA and .937 Save % in 5 games for Pittsburgh

Got me thinking as to what are the biggest brands in college football. Maybe something like this? 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Notre Dame 4. USC 5. Michigan 6. Georgia 7. Texas 8. Oklahoma 9. Clemson 10. Penn State Honourable mentions to teams like Oregon, Florida State, LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Wisconsin.

I think Rose Bowl ratings for Alabama-Michigan will be massive.

Wings have scored 2nd most goals in the NHL, with 90. Vancouver tops with 96. Leafs 15th with 76. Oilers 19th with 74. Remarkable given high-paid star power of Edmonton and Toronto.

Aaron Glenn called the Wings' dressing room during the 2nd intermission and gave the defensemen some pointers.

Larkin ENG on the 6 on 4!
