“I’m so grateful to be a Detroit Red Wing. I’ll never play in another uniform.”
Steve Yzerman, after finally winning the Stanley Cup in 1997, on why 14 years of waiting was worth it to win it in Detroit.

So, to recap the Larkin situation, this year he has:
- Said he wants to be a Red Wing for life
- Missed the playoffs again (scored one even strength goal after the Olympics btw)
- Demanded a trade (but only to the top 3 US contenders)
- Lost the captaincy
- Begrudgingly showed up to camp (but wouldn't *really* answer any questions & got "injured)
- Decided to play & said his focus was on winning games
- Expanded his trade list (to the top 10 US contenders)
- Publicly quit on his team for a second time
Missing anything? Seems like a really easy guy to root for

It would be funny if the Red Wings held onto Larkin and healthy scratched him every game until his contract expires in 2031

I get why Larkin wants out but his play in March was a major reason Detroit fell off.
- 11 games from Feb 28-April 7 without an even strength goal.
- 9 games from March 2-April 4 without an even strength point.

The use of Podziemski today should warrant an investigation into gambling. There is zero reason that a guy who scores 12 in the first quarter only plays 17 minutes. @NBA losing all league integrity.

I hope the Blue Jays lose in the ALDS next year so Ernie Clement can be on the cover

I’ll say this. This is the difference between Michigan and Ohio State. We beat Ohio 50 years in a row and they just say gosh shucks we’ll get em next year. They beat us once, coach not only is fired but arrested. At Michigan it’s Nattys or jail.

A great gesture of leadership would occur when current Hall of Famers who used PEDs -- greenies, steroids, whatever -- just came out and explained what they did and why. It would move the Hall to a place when it could finally acknowledge the reality of what happened in the industry for 20+ years -- rather than absurdly pretending that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were outliers.

The Blue Jays had to win their first ring against the juggernaut 90s Braves. You think the Dodgers pitching feels impossible? How about the hydra of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz, and Tom Glavine? It's never easy and it ain't over until someone wins four. Let's get at it.
