One additional note: the Vegas media notes that Maurice may not be tempted by the Golden Knights as he is long-time friends with deBoer, and may not want to follow in his footsteps there. Maurice and deBoer became friends as youth teammates on the OHL's Windsor Spitfires in the mid-1980s, and Mauric...

Trotz, Maurice and Julien are already being mentioned in Las Vegas media as on the Golden Knights' short list of candidates, along with Quenneville, John Tortorella and Rick Tocchet. Let me say I'm also against Tortorella coming to the Wings. If you thought Babcock was prickly, Torts is the master. ...

Two interesting moves made this morning: Islanders hire Lane Lambert, Golden Knights fire Peter deBoer. Lambert's hiring by the Isles eliminates him as an option for the Red Wings. Barry Trotz immediately becomes a front-runner for the Golden Knights job. I now do not consider him likely to even be ...

https://steveschmidt.substack.com/p/no-books-no-money-just-the-truth?s=r&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web An interesting Substack post by Steve Schmidt, who worked as a volunteer for John McCain on his presidential campaign. In the post, Schmidt unpacks how McCain's top adviser Rick Davis was benef...

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/cnn-plus-shutting-down-1235133393/ CNN is pulling the plug on its shiny new streaming service after less than a month on the air. With the dollars and staffing involved, this sort of thing doesn't happen in a vacuum, but between the Warner merger w...

The team's been in existence since 1926. I'd say no.

Even though I have lived long enough to see the Pistons win three NBA titles, the Wings win four Stanley Cups (after a dreadfully long drought of no wins in 42 years), and having made my peace with the knowledge the Lions likely won't win anything in my lifetime, the team I have always had a certain...

Was Darren actually doing stand-up comedy? No, he was the emcee for the evening. His job was just to introduce each comedian during the show, and fill in a few minutes between the acts. My wife said that at the beginning, he came on stage, talked a bit about his hockey life and getting sober, then ...

What year did you meet Maltby? Memory is a little fuzzy, but it was after either the '98 (back-to-back) Cup win or the 2002 Cup win. The DVD he signed is in a box somewhere; if I can find it, I'll know for sure. Another one I forgot: my wife went to a comedy club in Novi a couple years on a night w...

I met Joe Garagiola in the elevator at Tiger Stadium when I was 15. It was a Saturday and he was in town to do the NBC Game of the Week telecast. I was a volunteer walking scorer for five years at the PGA Senior Tour event that used to be at TPC Michigan, and did the same at the 2012 US Senior Open ...

I am not buying most of Missouri gets a foot+ of snow. No way.

And I wouldn’t buy anything from a site called “tropicaltidbits.com,” whatever the hell that is.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/cbs-news-streaming-service-person-to-person-1235079026/ This article discussing CBS' streaming offerings appeared on the Hollywood Reporter web site yesterday. Down at the very bottom of the article is this: (snip) "CBS also announced an expansion of its...

"Very exited about the job," the Detroit News indicated. Maybe there will be a piece in Sunday's paper to remind us the editorial process in modern media is moot. To say nothing of the fact that Kevin Dietz's name was misspelled EVERY TIME in that article. Sheesh. Melody Baetens isn't just some roo...

Mike and Micky Dolenz just had a farewell concert of sorts in California last month. On Dolenz' FB page, there's a video clip of them sharing a hug at the end of the show. Nesmith looked pretty frail in the video, I thought. Nesmith fought hard, even frequently against the other three in the band, f...

Dwane Casey is a lousy coach. If he were good, he'd still have his job in Toronto. I always found it interesting that, even though his last couple of Raptors teams were pretty good, they didn't win their title until the year AFTER Casey was let go. Always thought there was more to it than just brin...
