Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 in a row. Red hot!!

Vest is best

Oilers-Kings was pretty good. Oilers left it late but saved their season … for now. I forgot all about the Blues-Wilds series. Didn’t watch one second of it, not even on highlights. Never said to see the Wild eliminated, after the Parise-Suter fiasco.

Not tonight Leafs.

Leafs are 13 minutes away from knocking out the Cup champs. Would be the Leafs' first playoff series win since 2004. Damn. What a cruddy spring for sports.

Did Gus have all of Werner's crew killed, or just Werner?

Watch the Habs pass on Shane Wright unless he can speak French fluently.

8-19. Is this is the most shocking start to a Tigers season in my lifetime (B.1967)? I’d say yes.

Finding another new way to lose. Walking home the go-ahead run.

I gave myself one minute to have 10 songs I like pop into my head. If I had more time, I'm sure my top 10 would be different but I've listened to all of these a lot over the years: Thunder Road - Springsteen Main Street - Seger Baba O'Reilly - The Who Different Drum - Stone Poneys Crimson & Clover - Tommy James and the Shondells Sunday Girl - Blondie Sheena Is A Punk Rocker -Ramones Funeral - Band of Horses Ball & Biscuit - White Stripes Rebellion - Arcade Fire

My daughter's all-girls high school had their annual choir concert last night at a concert hall. This was one of the songs they did. 40 voices doing this one sounded great.

Jim Price is sounding especially weak this year too. I think it is time for him to go. He is 80 years old, give him a nice send off.

And here's a great example of the Dodgers broadcasters telling a neat Miggy story. The Tigers announcers in the next booth were probably goofing off at the time.

If Yzerman wanted Bruce Boudreau, he could probably get him. http://vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/coach-bruce-boudreau-did-terrific-job-but-wont-get-summer-contract-extension/wcm/a7e4c2c3-7252-4405-8be8-5df394eabaed

Big game for Oilers tonight. Heat will be on Kenny if they lose this series to the Kings.

Unearned runs, well-earned win.

I believe in this team! As in, I believe the Tigers can better their 9-24 start of last year. Only need to go 3-9 over the next 12 games. No sure thing, but quite possible! You can do it, Detroit Tigers.

You could ask around on this site. There is some great stuff on there, and many people with private collection. I have shoebox full of cassettes from the 1984 and 1985 seasons. Sometimes full games, but more often Paul Carey's post-game with highlights. Or JP McCarthy's highlights the next morning when he'd often interview Sparky Anderson. Or Eli Zaret giving morning recaps on WRIF, with JJ & the Morning Crew chiming in. One of these days I'll get around to organizing it and making it available somehow. I have something for just about every one of the 162 games in 1984, even if just a few minutes of highlights. As for Opening Day 1985, I didn't attend but remember how festive it was. People fully expected the Tigers to repeat in 1985 and they did get off to a good start. I have a couple of hours of pre-game coverage (radio) but again, I need to get around to digitalizing it.

Anyone for the right price. But I would want players back for Larkin, not picks. We'll end up in an endless cycle of always being near the bottom. We've already missed the playoffs 6 straight seasons. NHL record is 11 seasons.

I want an experienced NHL coach. Iyer's list could give us another Blashill.

Even 20 as a fair target would be more than acceptable to me.

Bolts storm back to win 6-4. So Eastern matchups will be Panthers-Caps, Canes-Bruins, Leafs-Lightning and Rangers-Penguins. in the West, Minnesota-St Louis and Edmonton-LA. Division winners Colorado and Calgary will play Nashville and Dallas; matchups to be determined by tonight’s results.

Ha, Montreal is finally ready to start the season. Beating Florida 10-2!

Buffalo Sabres' announcer Rick Jeanneret, he of "Mayday, Mayday" fame, called his last game tonight. Which ended, fittingly, with a Sabres' OT winner. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/33648862/sabres-raise-banner-honoring-long-broadcaster-jeanneret
