We’ll give you one guess which state indie rock artist Michigander is from? If you guessed Michigan, you’re correct! The Michigan native is coming out with his debut album in February, and we cannot wait to hear it. Michigander has played in Detroit plenty of times but headlining the historic and iconic St. Andrew’s Hall is a pretty great accomplishment, especially someone who is native to Michigan.

Vikings at Lions predictions: Expert picks for NFL Week 9

Are you ready for some football? With the Detroit Lions taking a week off after their thrilling “Monday Night Football” win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, they’re back and ready to get back to business on Sunday afternoon. The Lions host the NFC North divisional rival Minnesota Vikings for their first matchup of the season. The Vikings come in at 3-4 and aren’t as scary as they’ve been in years past, but that doesn’t mean the Lions can overlook them.

“I know what the talent is, I’ve seen it,” said Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. “They’re going to do what they need to do to help him out and try to reduce the stress. Take as much off his plate, yet allow him to do things he does well. They’re going to find ways. They’re going to try to establish the run, screen game, get it to 18 (Justin Jefferson), get this kid on the move. They’re going to do a hell of a job. They’ll have a good plan ready, and so will we.”

Here’s a look at our Pride of Detroit staff picks for the Lions in Week 9:

Now, it’s your turn to have your voice heard. Share what you think the game score will be in the comment section at the bottom of the page and vote in the poll directly below. Will Detroit keep playing like a top team in the NFL, or could the Vikings catch the Lions resting off their bye week?

Detroit Red Wings’ 3-game win streak quacks up vs Ducks on 2nd night of SoCal back-to-back

Detroit Red Wings’ 3-game win streak quacks up vs Ducks on 2nd night of SoCal back-to-back

ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Detroit Red Wings, looking a bit tired from playing a long game night before, had a hard time slowing down as fast as an opponent as they’ve seen so far this season.

The Wings used the same roster against the Anaheim Ducks on Friday, Oct. 31, as had played 24 hours earlier up I-5 in Los Aneles, except for a change in goal. But the Ducks were too much to handle, and the Wings wound up losing, 5-2, at Honda Center to snap a three-game win streak.

The game featured a steady path to the penalty box for both sides, with six infractions called in the second and four straight within the first eight minutes of the third period. When the Red Wings (8-4-0) got a man advantage with 5:27 to play, it was their seventh power play of the game.

The Wings pulled John Gibson, making his return to the arena where he starred with the Ducks for 12 seasons, soon after that expired for an extra attacker, but Troy Terry took advantage to score his second of the night. Leo Carlsson had a four-point night.

Tired start

The Wings came into Anaheim off a late night Thursday, when their game against the Los Angeles Kings went all the way to a shootout. They looked tired at the start against the Ducks, and were burned on a power play for a second straight night, with Terry taking off on a breakaway with Axel Sandin Pellika giving chase only to see Terry fire the puck behind Gibson. But the Wings were able to even the score within four minutes, when Dylan Larkin sprang Lucas Raymond, who picked up his third goal of the season on a wrist shot.

Carlsson, the second overall pick in 2023, scored when Terry carried the puck into Detroit’s zone, went unchallenged by Simon Edvinsson’s stick waving, and found Carlsson, who made it 2-1 with a shot from the right circle.

The Wings celebrated a goal at 4:57 of the second period, only to have it taken away after an extensive video review. Alex DeBrincat whipped a pass to Marco Kasper. Goalie Lukas Dostal stopped that, but Moritz Seider got to the rebound. Officials deemed that Seider kicked the puck in, though it appeared on replays that he was trying to kick the puck to his stick. The bottom line: It remained 2-1 to the Ducks.

At least for a few minutes more, until Mason McTavish circled around a crowd in front of the crease and flung the puck on net, making it 3-1 at 6:35. DeBrincat turned a pass from Raymond into a 3-2 game. DeBrincat now has goals in four straight games.

The Ducks reclaimed a two-goal lead when Chris Kreider scored 55 seconds into the third period, with officials ruling Gibson caused his net to jump off its moorings prior to the puck going into the net.
