In Red Wings Land

[Site Exclusive] Today’s reason Evgeny Svechnikov is not in the lineup: WandaVision spoilers...

Alright folks, let’s put our misery to good use. The Wings are currently 0-40 on the PP. Whenever this streak comes to an end, I’ll donate at least $1 to the @JDanielsFund for each failed power play.

This is a great idea and I’m happy to match.  If you also want to do the same, Prashanth is tracking these pledges through the replies to that Tweet, so if you have an account on Twitter, just respond to that.

If you DON’T have a Twitter account, but want to play, email me your pledge. I’m at jjfromkansas@gmail.com.

I was just trading notes with Bobby Ryan, who has been genuinely touched by @brianpfraser and his journey.

Bobby has told me he’s jumping on @SensMotB for tomorrow as follows:

Sens Win: $500
Brady Goal: $250
Shutout: $1,000
