Tigers offseason has me hyped for the start of the season.

Just get the Skubal extension done, Scott.

Mo Seider in the Norris and Hart conversation 3/4ths of the way through the season (via @domluszczyszyn.bsky.social)

Times running out to get on the bandwagon folks

Said to a friend earlier that we were missing a Seth Trimble legacy game for as long as he’s been here.

We’ve got one now

It’s a shame Seider’s scoring has slowed because last night showed how dominant he can be defensively and why he’s absolutely deserving of serious Norris consideration.

Unfortunately zero 5v5 points in the last month+ will hurt his chances with voters

That’s gotta be the best road game Detroit’s played in a long time when you factor in the opponent, their recent performance, and the magnitude of the moment

Shutout the best offense in the league (maybe of the last 10 years?) AND outplayed them at 5v5 for most of the game

I don’t think I’ve seen a better played 6v5 sequence than what the Red Wings just did.

Do not ask me why I remember this but the last time the Wings and Avs traded shutout wins….

May 22nd and 24th, 1997 the Wings and Avs traded 6-0 wins in Games 4 and 5 of the Western Conference Finals

This is a game where Emmitt Finnie’s inexperience is showing. He’s gotten sped up by the Avs 3 or 4 times so far trying to exit the zone, leading to failed zone exits

You really can’t say enough about how much of a beaut’ Mickey Redmond is. Fresh off surgery and he’s still out there regaling us with tales from Peterborough

Another tangential comment - i was not really impressed with Erik Johnson between the benches in the last game with Buccigross but he’s been a lot better today alongside Mike Monaco. Offering much more insightful commentary

I will say through 25 minutes, Erik Gustafsson has looked infinitely better than Travis Hamonic in any of his games so potentially he can snag that 7D spot back

Colorado is coming on like a….

Something to watch - since Jan 9th, the Wings’ PP is 24th in the league at 18.2%. Was a big source of their offense in the first half of the year

Cancel the rest of 2026 right now

I don’t think the LA Kings would sell but in a perfect world, I think Mikey Anderson would be a tremendous fit in Detroit

A funny stat I came across but over the last 9 games, the Colorado Avalanche have been outscored 3-2 while on the power play
January 30, 2026 at 1:16 PM
for a game where the flu was running rampant, two players were called us just in case, and you were trailing by 2 goals with 2 minutes to go - it’s a relief the Wings managed to steal a point. They should’ve gotten two with Lindgren being largely incapacitated in the shootout but it is what it is

still haven’t lost two straight in regulation since the end of november
