All that plus a $100M to Jimbo gets you 1-2 in the conference....

NJ has been able to get them scrambling in their own end a lot, haven't looked very organized. Big line has played well, not so much any of the others.

NJ succeeding in getting a lot of pucks into the slot in front of Neddy.. Wings not getting much from the #1 line.

wings PP starts the season 0/5.

win the conference or get to the playoff and you can steal a lot of commits.

thought we had made a strategic error in going to watch this game with friends - that is usually the kiss of death. Nice to have that curse lifted with an easy (relatively) win....

I believe I heard Daniels say exactly that.

looking lively for sure, but is there a worse passing "top four" D man in than Hronek in the league?

If all else fails his detachment from reality is building a good case for an insanity defense.

tough day on Wall Street. Still it's hard to be upset at a day when Musk is leading the losers. (⬇️2.5 billion)

Kwasi Kwarteng fired. Liz Truzz throwing ballast overboard to try and keep her government from sinking. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wrapup-1-uks-truss-sacrifices-133141097.html If the conservatives can't even keep their bankers happy, what are they good for?

time for Biden to tell Musk that if he keeps jerking the Ukraininas around on Starlink, the US will nationalize it.

looks like Gretzky!

You have to be pretty optimisitic about Veleno and Erne to worry Philip isn't going to get plenty of chances to prove himself.

if shooting is going to improve you would expect to be as the result of hard off-season work.

On Twitter there seem to be no end of experts with pretty good explanations of why whatever method the Ukrainians used to hit the Kerch bridge could not possibly have been the way it was done. I guess it must never have happened.....

well, if they want to pursue Correa (call me skeptical), it's now (sort of) official: I'm sure the Twins are feeling peachy about having spent $35M for the team to play sub 500 ball.....

LOL, we aren't even to the league championships yet and already Petzold with the 1st 'best shape of his life' style story about Manning for '23. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2022/10/13/detroit-tigers-matt-manning-get-my-body-right-for-2023/69558816007/

if nothing else the Wings are going to present a lot of really different looks in those 4 lines.

Soto was bad in tie game situations even before he lost his slider. So you have your anointed closer with both an apparent psychological blockage around performing in non-save situations, and an apparent mechanical problem that has made his abiity to change speeds questionable. Otherwise no problems.

there is one thing about Saudi I am curious about though, which is how well assured MBS's ascension to the throne is once the old king, who is apparently well into dementia, finally passes. Eversince the death of Ibn Saud, the throne has passed from brother to brother among his sons. There was never, has never been any agreed upon plan for what happens when the last direct heir of Ibn Saud died. We are fast approaching that point. This is what has made MBS possible in a way. If more of his uncles were still alive, he would know he had no path to the throne so what he is doing to consolidate his personal power would be pointless, but I believe there is only one uncle left now - so he sees the throne as close enough to sieze. I don't know much about the uncle other than that MBS has had him arrested at least once, so there is probably no love lost there now. So the question is what kind of political operative is old uncle Ahmed? Is he content to just slip away into a posh Arabian sunset and leave the field to his nephew, or can/will he or his people be manuevering to block MBS's path to the throne when the time comes, and/or do/will they have any capacity to do that? And even if Ahmed's clan stands clear, there are at least 100 other grandsons of old Saud who may figure they have just as much 'right' to the throne as MBS. Are they all fat and happy enough? Is there some block of them with ambition? Will there be a knife in the dark one night in Riyadh? Who knows? I certainly hope US intelligence is working these questions for Biden though.

when it comes to the ME that's a tall order!

I'm amused that after having played a dozen US adminstrations for the fool over better than 50 yrs, with one completely predictable vote on oil production, the Saudi's seem to have suddenly outworn their welcome with the US Gov.

Verdicts in Alex Jones case already over $700Million and the Judge isn't done reading yet. Jones out of business, Rush is dead. Have to enjoy the small victories.
