  1. A rare Veleno goal! Berggren with an assist. 1-1 after 1 vs the Rangers.
  2. Play a tough early season opponent, sure. Lose, that's Ok. Just don't lose by 46 frickin' points.
  3. UNC would not get in ahead of Tennessee, the OSU/Michigan loser, or a one-loss PAC championship game winner. They'd need to Tennessee to lose in the next 3 weeks, the OSU/Michigan loser to have lost in the next 2 weeks, and the top PAC teams to all have 2 losses. I don't think Clemson, if they recover to win the ACC, beats out Tennessee or a one-loss PAC champion. So many are picking Texas to win this weekend, that if TCU pulls the "upset" I can see them being placed at #3 next week ahead of Michigan.
  4. Pretty much squandered that the PP, a Soderblom penalty cut into it, so now onto OT. Wings have dominated most of the game.
  5. I’ll-timed boarding penalty by Montreal puts the Wings on a 5- minute powerplay that will use up most of regulation.
  6. Remember way back when we were all worried about Raymond? Another goal tonight, ties it versus the Habs midway thought the 3rd.
  7. Scored tonight against the Habs.
  8. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34981606/georgia-claims-top-spot-cfp-rankings-emphatic-win Georgia took over the top spot in the College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings released Tuesday night, after its impressive 27-13 win over previous No. 1 Tennessee last weekend. Meanwhile, TCU jumped three spots into the No. 4 spot headed into its big Saturday showdown at No. 18 Texas. Ohio State is No. 2 and Michigan is No. 3.
  9. Yes, a fair bit of good news in here. https://detroithockeynow.com/2022/11/08/tyler-bertuzzi-jake-walman-rejoining-detroit-red-wings-west-coast-road-trip-oskar-sundqvist-maybe-thursday/ “(Oskar) Sundqvist is day to day,” Detroit coach Derek Lalonde said. “Bert,we’re hoping to see on the West Coast trip. Maybe that 7-10 day range. I’d put Walman in that same 7-to-10. (Filip Zadina) is lower body, 6-8 weeks. Obviously not positive but a little more optimistic than we originally thought. (Robby Fabbri) and (Mark) Pysyk are still in that Jan. 1 range.”
  10. The weak OOC is insulting to home game fans and, yes, it is one factor in the weak strength of schedule. But so is Iowa and Michigan State sucking so much this year. Looking at this schedule in January, I figured Michigan had a 50/50 chance of being undefeated going into Columbus. By late September, it was pretty clear that anything less than 11-0 going into Columbus would not be acceptable.
  11. Ease of victory means nothing? Michigan has won every game but one by 13 points or more. 6 of TCU's last 7 games have been decided by 10 points of less. USC is coming off of 8 point and 7 points win over dismal Arizona and Cal in back to back weeks.
  12. I’d be fine with OSU-Michigan being effectively a playoff game, as the winner will enjoy knocking the other team out for the year and not have to play again in a few weeks. But my CFP prediction after all shakes out is: Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan. I think Ole Miss, Clemson, North Carolina, Oregon, USC, UCLA and yes even TCU will all get to 2-losses by the time all is said and done.
  13. So: a) which one of you is the bald dude; and b) take any good pics you'd like to post here? Don't look at me, I was 2500 miles from Ford Field yesterday.
  14. I will keep modest expectations for Fabbri upon his return from injury, but would be nice to get him back in January. https://detroithockeynow.com/2022/11/03/robby-fabbri-rehab-detroit-red-wings-january-return/
  15. On pace for 109 pts through about the first 1/7 of the season. Of course they won’t keep up that pace and it was pretty down on them after Buffalo, but nice to bank points early.
  16. I would‘t even call it a steal. From what I saw, about half the game off and on, the Wings surprisingly were the Rangers’ equal. Halak had to make some big saves. In the last few minutes of regulation, the Wings looked like the team more likely to score.
  17. I hate that those types of reviews are even initiated. Borderline offsides on a 2 on 1, fine, but not when play continues with passes for another 20 seconds. Goal stands, that’s the main thing.
  18. Perron to Kubalik for the winner! 3 wins in 4 nights, i wonder when was the last time the Wings did that.
  19. Bally Detroit broadcast is clownish. Basketball scores flashing in the bottom corner, fake ads on the glass, moving ads in both ends flipping during key moments of game play. Distracting. The whole league has adopted that this season but the Wings’ is among the most egregious.
  20. Going it OT. Getting at least a point is satisfying.
  21. Kubalik had a partial break with a chance to give the Wings a late lead. Still 2-2 with 3:10 to go in regulation.
  22. Luff gets the Wings on the board, 2-1. Hadn't heard of him either until a week ago.
  23. If they make the playoff with wins over Ohio State, Penn State, Illinois and Maryland, and whoever they'd play in the Big 10 championship game, that's plenty of challenges to prepare them for a #2-#3 matchup against a TCU or Oregon or USC. And you can say that about any 0-loss or 1-loss team any except Georgia and Tennessee. Ohio State? Has beaten Penn State and Notre Dame so far. Oregon? UCLA only, maybe Washington State as a stretch. TCU? Oklahoma State and Kansas State, and neither is as good as Penn State. USC? Oregon St. and maybe Washington State, neither as good as Penn St.
  24. 2-0 Rangers after 1. This is the Wings' 3rd game in 4 nights, so not expecting much, but haven't looked too bad apart from the score. Nice passing and shots on the Wings' two power plays but nothing to show for it.
