No thanks. Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend from 1986. She loved that movie.

After so many years of dysfunction within the Oilers organization, if they win the Cup this year Kenny should be awarded GM of the Decade. Penguins eliminated, by the way.

Awesome! If I'm looking at the tiebreakers correctly, the Penguins now can't catch Florida and can only beat off NYI if the Pens win their final game and the Islanders lose in regulation.

4-1 loss tonight in Carolina. Playing out the string.

I've listened to a fair amount of OHL games the past week, there have been some really good series. I went to school with the Sarnia radio announcer and he recently called his 1,500th OHL game. I was recently in Saskatchewan so followed that series, listened to it last night. Crowds really into it of course. Has a March Madness college basketball vibe to it, but as if early round games were played on campus. CHL playoff games are also available to a watch, for a fee. Am going to look into that now that the Wings are wrapping up and the Sting are into the 2nd round.

Lombardi’s season ended with a loss last night, by the way, as did Connor Bedard’s out west.

Wings will be in the Bedard sweepstakes. They can’t finish with more points than. Ottawa now so will be in the bottom 11.

It’s the Wings’ home finale, Fan Appreciation. night, and they’re losing 3-0 after 1.

I learned not to take seriously everything Sparky says when I sat near the dugout one game and between innings he said I was built like a Greek goddess.

A cheer for my (former) hometown Sarnia Sting who advanced to the 2nd round of the OHL playoffs with a Game 6 OT win yesterday. All five of the players on one of the goals have been drafted, albeit none by the Wings. Del Mastro 4th round 2021 by Chicago. Kyrou 2nd round 2022 by Dallas. Pastujov 3rd round 2021 by Anaheim. Del Bel Belluz 2nd round 2022 by Columbus. Voit 5th round 2021 by Toronto.

And a World Series championship roughly once a generation: 1935 + 10 years = 1945 + 23 years = 1968 + 16 years = 1984. A title in 2006 (22 years after 1984) or 2012 (28 years) would have satisfied me for awhile.

You're delusional, 2027 is way too optimistic 🙂

I wonder if anyone sat through the Wings' 5-1 drubbing by the Penguins and then walked across the street and watched the Tigers' 14-5 blowout loss in full. They deserve to be rewarded with season tickets for their troubles. Or would that be punished with season tickets.

The Wings bow meekly, lose 5-1 to Pittsburgh.

Ha, that was the giveaway of the year! Pens lead 2-0 after 1 by scoring with 1.5 seconds to go.

They’re 5-5-1 in past 11. Playing exactly to their full season level. St. Louis is 6-2-2 in past 10. Vancouver is 5-3-2. Ottawa is 4-4-2. Buffalo is 5-4-1. Only Washington at 2-6-2 has fallen apart.

Wild game. Wings twice have come back from 2-goals deficits 6-6 headed to OT.

Hate to be bearer of bad news, but the Wings are going to be officially eliminated the playoffs within the hour. Florida, NYI and Pitt are all winning big.

All the games against the Sabres seem to be high scoring. At least the Wings are scoring some of their own tonight. But trail 6-5 late in 3rd.

They’re still drafting higher than they would have most of the season through the end of February. They’re simply bouncing up from bottom after a mini-collapse.

Wings win, Tigers win, Sarnia Sting win!!!

3 hits for Greene. 3 hits for Tork including homer and double. Decent start for Manning. Feeling better about things than 24 hours ago

I think I prefer him to Jim Price. He has smart things to say. But talks too quickly and a bit too much for my liking. I like a slower pace on the radio.

So I guess Husso is not out for season after all?
