Canadian announcers on Sportsnet destroying Gustafson.

Comments on that Lions' X thread are saying that the reason Brandon Joseph got waived is because he was charged with DUI last night.

Weird, isn't it. Not only not on the main page, but not even on its MLB page. Staffers responsible for baseball must have already broken for Christmas

Or doomed to pick the next Kaapo Kakko at #2.

Get ready for calls for an 8-team playoff: top 5 SEC teams + top 3 Big 10 teams.

Road games sometimes are easier to take as a fan on the radio. Unless the crowd mic is turned up way up, the home field advantage seems so less pronounced than when I’m forced to see the uniforms and stands with my own eyes, lol.

33-28

Indiana was trailing by 24 with 1:35 to go. Cut it to 10 points with 25 seconds to go. Would have been hilarious to see the 2-pt succeed to set up a scary onside kick.

Boo.

Habs lead. You CANNOT lose to Montreal at home.

Wings on their heels. Veleno takes a penalty.

Habs tie it. Just under 11 minutes to go.

Petry re-scores his 2nd goal of the season in the final minute of the period to make it 2-2 after 1. His “2-goal game” a lttile while back was knocked back to one goal the next day on a scoring change.

I'd be fine with that. As much as I hate load management in the NBA, I wish we could afford load management for the Lions' entire offensive line. It feels like Glasgow, Ragnow and Decker are just hanging on, really could use a bye.

I was picking up my daughter at the airport yesterday and a traveller noticed my Lions hoodie and started beaming. She was visiting Vancouver from Ann Arbor and said her husband has the exact same hoodie, how exciting it is to be a Lions fans these days, etc. It was a nice exchange that put smiles on the faces of both of us. Meeting fellow Lions fans in Vancouver is still rare enough that when you do, there's an immediate connection. And at my sports bar, people love to come up and chat about the Lions, as one said to me the Lions are such a great story they think it's neat to talk to a real-life, actual long-time fan as up until a couple of years ago we all tended to be in the closet, lol

Yeah I think of Lindy Ruff as being from the same coaching era as Marc Crawford and Jacques Lemaire, hard to see why he is still around. I remember Sabres already getting restless way back in 2015. Then when they secured the # 2 pick in 2015, in Jack Eichel, it was expected they’d have a brighter future. 9 years ago.

Posted this in the Red Wings forum as well.

I am still confused by last year's home game against the Bears when Williams was sacked and then the ball punched out of the end zone for a safety. Bears had to kick the ball to the Lions. But after a safety they are allowed to punt it if they choose to and they did so. High up, making it a jump ball. Lions recovered, but it seemed like this type of play gave the Bears a greater chance at getting the ball than they deserved. Was wondering at the time why the Lions couldn't call a fair catch then instead of letting it be a jump ball.

Saw this on Reddit today. Although I'm not sure if 5 out of 10 five and a half years after the draft is that unusual. Still, Kakko turned out to be such a disappointment.

Two wins in a row! Almost a streak.

I already realized how hard hit the Lions have been, but this shows how unscathed have been Minnesota, GB and Buffalo.

After getting screwed in the draft lottery again, Yzerman was still fairly productive. Lucas Raymond, William Wallinder, Theodor Niederbach, Cross Hanas, Donovan Sebrango, Eemil Viro, and Jan Bednar are all notables from this class. Uhh, fairly productive? Notables? Not one NHL game other than Raymond.
