Can’t take this one away from Raymond. Wings lead.

The Ghost Of Ernie is a great Twitter feed. Question this teeet raises for me is, if you’re a career minor league named Aurelio and at the age of 33 an MLB teams offer you a September call-up, do you accept knowing this means you may only have another 15 years to live?

I don’t expect Rasmussen to score much from regular play, but can we at least get the coaches to have him stay a few minutes after practice today to take half a dozen shots at an empty net.

Unless Bama upsets Georgia, in which it will be Bama vs Oklahoma St/Cincinnati and Michigan vs. Georgia. I think if Georgia, Michigan, Cincy and Oklahoma St all win they'll give Cincy to Georgia as an opponent because they think that's easier for Georgia. Oklahoma St will move up to #3 to play Michigan.

Suck it, Jack. Wings win.

Not 1, not 2 but 3 shots at the empty net.

Great pushback! 2-1 Wings.

The Wings had been hanging on for past 10, 20 minutes. 1-1.

Hmm, I’ve felt safer about 1- goal leads before. 25-10 SOGS after 2.

Funky goal Zadina.

I’m hoping they are just happy to be there. They barely got out of Nebraska alive and probably didn’t expect Minnesota to help them out.

Fresh Beat Band party did a longer set by 10 minutes. Just don’t go to any Caillou appearance.

Disappointed in the lack of loyalty and dedication many on this board showed by not staying up past 1am ET until this news broke. Mr. Al Avila is up into the wee hours fighting hard for his fanbase and you guys are all snug in bed having sweet dreams.

Fine with me.

Interestingly, my Fox telecast was 5 seconds behind my radio broadcast. Which gives Brandstatter just enough time to catch up 🙂. I go by the TV audio 95% of the time but will check the radio to hear the reaction after big plays. I hope and assume Jon Janssen is part of the regular radio broadcast next year. Preferably on color like this season. Like Dierdorf and Brandstatter, he fills the role of an ex-player linking to the past, but 25 years younger. To me his voice actually sounds like a younger version of Dierdorf.

I wonder if the NHL will go to the Olympics. Controversy about the WTA player and other politics, appears China can’t ice a competitive team so might be frozen out, and Covid is causing some cancellations most recently of NYI games.

Reminded me of the cathartic feeling of the Wings knocking out the Avs on the way to the ‘97 Cup.

Funny to think of the B1G championship as a trap game, but that is my only concern right now.

Yep, everything is breaking perfectly for Michigan. I would glad take a Cincy or Oklahoma State semi. Problem would be Georgia getting upset, because I think Bama would rise to #1, Michigan-Georgia would be the next two, and Cincy or Oklahoma State would be #4.

Michigan #2 in AP, #3 in Coaches Iowa #15, #12 in Coaches

St. Louis is a good team. The Wings have beaten a few other good teams this season: Washington, Vegas, Edmonton. Yeah, they're not legit playoff contenders yet, but if you take care of business against bad teams and win the odd home game against good teams you can probably hang around the fringe of the playoff race until the February Olympic break.
