All right, so we will get to your Tiger calls momentarily. I want to mix in the wings a little bit though, too. It is. It's the biggest game of Iserman's tenure. It is a de facto playoff game.

You're up one point on the caps. You can handle your business.

I don't want to hear about what comes up later in the week on Thursday.

None of that matters. You win tonight you're in a command position. You lose tonight. You're in some trouble. Period. Don't make excuses. Don't come up with scenario. Just win.

That's not the lions.

When is it?

Tigers, pistons, wings. Last time you had a regular season game this big. I don't have the answer.

I'm openly asking you in listener land. But part two of it is, why am I not more confident?

playing all they just the caps have never been viewed as good but they're playing

mean nothing says big game matchup like Lindgren versus Lion between the pipes.

I mean this this is shades of Brodoor versus Waugh. I just why am I not more confident because I'm actually terrified of tonight it is very

Simple I think

It's because every time last year, this year, you thought this team figured it out and they were a playoff team, they hurt you.

They just fall down the stairs.

Nobody pushed him.

He just fell.

They just tripped.

And you're sitting there saying,

what just happened here?
