My daughters are learning about dinosaurs, so naturally the conversation turns to which one is their favourite. My oldest, who is a little more demure, says she likes the triceratops because it looks funny. My middle one likes the Tyrannosaurus Rex because "he's mean and hunts for food".

I thought of that as this game went on, because the Red Wings are playing like a triceratops, but should be hunting for points like a T-Rex. Dinosaurs are cool.

It's the third period. Lie down and comment like you're a goalie whose back can't support his terrible team anymore.
