Blankenburg played HS Hockey for Romeo and helped the Bulldogs capture its first state title in program history in 2016 at the Division 2 level.
Nick was fun to cover back in those days as I'm sure he's still a good interview now.

That was three goals in 59 seconds early in the third. The Preds tied the game at 2:05 on a goal by Macomb County's Nick Blankenburg, then took the lead at 2:20 on Roman Josi's goal.
Ben Chiarot then re-tied the game at 3:04. All three goals by defensemen.

A journey to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where the Lions and Packers draw the lines
On a swath of land in Michigan, Lions and Packers fans live side-by-side. They're called the Yoopers.

The Pistons winning streak comes to an end.
Cade Cunningham got fouled on a 3-pointer in the last few seconds that could have tied the game, but he missed the third free throw.
Boston made two free throws to go back up by three, and the Pistons turned the ball over at the buzzer.

Obviously, I've covered several hundred NHL, NBA and NCAA basketball games at the Pizzarena, but today was the first time I've sat in the stands for an event.
I don't think I ever did it at Joe Louis Arena, either.

I just realized that WICKED is almost totally ripped-off from The Wizard of Oz and I can’t believe people aren’t talking about it.

I assume all the Lions fans who are outraged about the questionable pass interference at the end of the game were just as horrified by the key false start called on the Eagles that was actually a neutral-zone infraction on the Lions.
Also, A.J. Brown stumbled and was called for a low block.

It's amazing how far the NBC broadcast on Comcast was behind the actual game.
The last Barkley run and the kneeldown happened while the TV audience was still in the middle of the timeout break.

Yes, there is a young political activist who survived the Parkland shooting who shares my name.
Yes, I have gotten mistaken for him thousands of times.
No, President Trump didn't block the wrong person on Twitter. That was well before Parkland. He meant me.

Democrats: If any of our leaders are in the Epstein files, they deserve any consequences they get.
Republicans: If Trump is in the Epstein files, I'm going to publicly announce that not all forms of pedophilia are that bad.
How much power does it take to be able to look at yourself in the mirror?

Patrick Kane picked up his 92nd assist on an Alex DeBrincat goal tonight. That's the record for two American-born players.
They have a way to go for the all-time record, though. Wayne Gretzky assisted on 364 of Jari Kurri's goals.

I keep track of how often I hear wrestling themes at sporting events, and the list is 95% CM Punk. Cena and Triple H are a long, long way back.
Joe Hendry made the list once, which was a personal favorite.

DCFC loses on penalty kicks after a scoreless draw with Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Carlos Saldaña got an early save to put City up 2-1 after two rounds, but Devon Amoo-Mensah hit the post and Ryan Williams hit the crossbar.

I think officials in pro sports have a thankless job that they get right a huge percentage of the time. I'm also in favor of rules that prevent injuries.
That said, I don't understand the calls against the Lions defense.

There's a World Baseball Classic in four months. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has just volunteered to pitch in every game.
Canada can't play Japan before the championship game. Since they are currently ranked behind Czechia, Great Britain, and Italy, this shouldn't be a problem.

I don't think John Gibson originally intended to knock the net off the moorings, but once it came off, he shoved it the rest of the way.
I think the refs have gotten the big calls right in the last 24 hours.
