Congrats, Kaner 👏

Matvei Michkov on playing against a historically successful Pens team in a Round 1 matchup with the Flyers. “All I know is about the Pittsburgh Penguins is they traded Ryan Whitney and they immediately started winning cups.” One word: He’s ready. #LetsGoFlyers #LetsGoPens

Bills were rough for years. Bills are now a monster. Sabres were rough for years. Sabres are now a monster. Buffalo fans are ridiculously loyal. They deserve this.

We don’t see as many rom-coms these days bc they’re afraid they’ll never top this scene

George Blaha; "Stew kept his composure. He knows there's bigger fish to fry, than some backup for the Indiana Pacers, who's on a two way." BLAHA TRULY DOES NOT GIVE A F 😭😭

THE perfect bacon sammich. Guaranteed to fill your belly while keeping Islamists away.

Nobody cares about your mental health, until it turns into anger and then everyone starts seeing you as a bad person

“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.” Tom Brady on the importance of believing in yourself when no one else does

I’d 100% give this guy a shot, he will want it more than a lot of practice squad and UDFA players

Wins this season: Islanders 43-eliminated Devils 42-eliminated Capitals 42-not in playoffs Penguins 41-clinched playoffs Flyers 41-in playoffs currently Blue Jackets 40-still alive for playoffs NHL has screwed up points system.

@JoshDubowAP Just keep on twisting that knife 💔🤦🏻‍♂️

The Red Wings are 2nd team in NHL history to have 69+ points in the first 53 games and miss the playoffs. The Canadiens did it in 1969-70 (also 69 points)

@TheKlenkster Odd he’s getting top line minutes already in GR. I wouldn’t be so sure he doesn’t stick here. Seems to play an honest 2 way game and we need it here.

If you guys want a timeline for Genborg to be in the NHL. This is what I’m thinking: 26-27 season: Sweden 27-28 season: Grand Rapids 28-29 season: Grand Rapids/Detroit

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

Aside from the disappointment of the team not making the playoffs, certainly wistful watching the Wings broadcast tonight. It’s the last one at LCA for FanDuel/Bally/Fox Sports Detroit. Feel for our great crew & I think of a vaultful of sensational memories that go back to 1997.

"This outside noise stuff or whatever...that's inside noise. That's fans in our building." Todd McLellan puts it perfectly. Maybe it's too direct and burns players, but he's been spot on about it the whole way. #LGRW
