Let’s play some hockey.

Speaking of the Olympics, interesting tidbit about Chris Chelios’ who is competing in Olympics hockey. For the States? For Canada? Greece? Nope. From today’s Toronto Globe & Mail: One such player this year is the son of a four-time U.S. Olympian, Chris Chelios. “Obviously I’m not Chinese but for the last three years I’ve been playing for the Chinese team, I’ve got the chance to live here and I love it,” Jake Chelios, who competes as Jieke Kailiaosi, told the Olympic news service this week.

Hang on, there was a All Star Game this weekend? I just thought there was a few days off due to the original Olympics schedule.

Some NFL jobs came open. I was contacted by the (Minnesota) Vikings. “For better or for worse, it was something I wanted to explore. I went in thinking, ‘I’m gonna have 100 percent conviction on this, and if they (Minnesota) have 100 percent conviction on this, then it’s something I’m gonna do.” But like many a job interview, somewhere in the process, he got a sinking feeling. It was all good. “A first-class operation,” he said. “First-class people.” But there wasn’t an equal match of enthusiasm. And for a man whose catch phrase is “an enthusiasm unknown to mankind” — well, that stuff matters.

Good for Harbaugh. He did nothing wrong.

Bertuzzi deflection! 2-2.

Kings tie it. Split screen tonight - one eye on LCA, another eye on ... San Salvador!

So the married boss turning 40 in the spring has been flirting at the office for weeks. Finally worked up nerve to take his young secretary away on overnight trip. Checked in to the hotel, went up to the room, she was in the bathroom getting herself more comfortable. But by time she came out in lingerie he had already bolted down to the lobby and out the door to the airport. Took the next flight home and asked his wife to overlook his silliness

So say the Lions had kept Patricia one more season and fired him just now. Would you have been interested in Harbaugh for the Lions? Surely Harbaugh would have been, he may not even have had to have moved house.

Can’t be too many times the past few years when the Wings held the opposition to only 15 shots on goal.

Watching the highlights now as didn’t see the game. I know Ken and Mickey are a bit biased, but I’m surprised that Hronek’s “goal” late in regulation was disallowed for kicking.

Made up for it with the OT winner.

And Ryans of the Niners pulling out is very big, imo. Harbaugh has to be the front runner now.

I watched the whole thing but wasn't able to post due to an error message. Wings were better than 7-4 would suggest. But quite a collapse the final 10 minutes for sure. Once it was tied, the go-ahead goal seemed like just a matter of time.

Huge result! Raymond with the shootout goal.

Wow, that OT was all Wings. Off to the shootout.

Wings would totally deserve a win here based on the first four minutes of OT.

Larkin robbed!!

I thought 4 on 4 for 1:41 at the end of regulation would hurt the Wings' chances for a point but the Wings actually dominated that stretch, IMO.

Zadina's goal was his first in 18 games. Wings four minutes away from getting at least a point tonight.

Yes

Erne almost beat our own goalie!

Why is Pickard in net? Covid call up?

I have fond memories of swaps and scrambles when I was a kid, but my first memory of collecting a full set was of this album which is still in my mother's basement. https://capsports2000.com/en/item29750536.php

Edvinsson is back practicing which is good to hear Was he injured for a bit?
