"Ziggy Stardust won't wait forever," he once said. "I'm off. Follow me if you want."

The Spiders looked at one other.

"We better follow him, shouldn't we?"

This is The Arc of Change. I'm off. Follow me if you want.

David Bowie was a visionary. His music fills generations with unlimited inspiration to dream, hope and live imaginatively. He understood that change is nature.

"It's the fantastic drowse of the afternoon Sundays
That bored you to rages of tears
The unending pleadings to waste all your good times
In thoughts of your middle-aged years"

They're letting Pete Alonso leave. The Polar Bear will reportedly sign a five-year, $155 million contract with the Orioles.
The Mets and Pete Alonso need each other. Re-signing the first baseman was a must even before Edwin Diaz reportedly agreed to sign with the Dodgers. Now there's no excuse. They cannot let a homegrown icon leave.

Happy Birthday to Jim Morrison born December 8, 1943. Jim sure packed a lot of living into his 27 years. He used his love of writing poetry to pen some of the best songs of the Doors. Mr Mojo Risin! 🤘🎶🎤

Tyler Seguin has an ACL injury and is expected to be out the rest of the season, Glen Gulutzan said.

Devastating news for Seguin, who has battled injuries constantly throughout his career.

Also nice to reconnect with #NJDevils scribes @jamesnicholsnhl.bsky.social and @ryannovo.bsky.social. The banter is at new heights.
About last night ....

Devils extend season-opening home point streak to 9 games, one short of the franchise record.

#NJDevils goalie Jacob Markstrom was "the reason why you get the 2 points."

#LGRW show their usual fight, but Todd McLellan lamented the "freebies."

Timo Meier, 1-0 Devils on a deflection of Stefan Noesen's shot.

Through the first six-minutes plus of Red Wings-Devils:

J.T. Compher boarding penalty temporarily knocks Nico Hischier out of the game.

Jacob Markstrom stops Compher's breakaway out of the box. Stefan Noesen picks a fight with Compher and gets an extra 2 for roughing.

Hischier returned for the PK

Todd McLellan was asked if he was riding the hot hand. He said Talbot and John Gibson are going to play with games virtually every other night. "Every team in the League has to. If not, we're going to lose one real quick and wishing we did play both."
Cam Talbot in his past four starts for the Red Wings: 4-0-0, 2.08 GAA, .920 save percentage #LGRW
