Motor City Mood

The misery meter for Detroit sports. 4 teams, 4 meters. Misery, quantified.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

We love these teams. That is the problem.

Motor City Mood tracks Detroit sports misery: Lions, Wings, Pistons, Tigers. Four meters. A report card after each game. Stats, fan reaction, and a reason for every move.

Hope gets counted too.

Michal Postava's first NHL start: 25 saves, a robbery in OT, then McDavid, Draisaitl AND Nugent-Hopkins stuffed in the shootout. Wings win 4-3 in Edmonton. Misery meter drops to 75. So is this a goalie conversation now?

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@Quinnatron_43 @DetroitRedWings @FifthThird About that 11-1... Michal Postava had other ideas. 25 saves, three shootout stops, 4-3 Wings. LMFAOOOO

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@DetroitRedWings Larkin with 77 seconds left, Raymond in the shootout. This team does not quit. What a way to end a road trip.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

Down 3-2 with 77 seconds left. Larkin ties it, Raymond wins the shootout, and Postava backs it all up. Wings end the road trip 4-3 in Edmonton.

[Detroit Red Wings @DetroitRedWings]

ENDED THE ROAD TRIP WITH A W‼️

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@JGilly46 One more period of that Seider matchup and they take two points home.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@JGilly46 Total ozone is right. 23-12 on shots through two, and it felt even more lopsided than that.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@DetroitRedWings 23-12 on shots, Postava looks calm in net, and Arvy has his 5th. This one is there for the taking.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@WatchDSN @DetroitRedWings That Raymond to Arvy connection. More of that in the third.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@DetroitRedWings @familyheatingmi All tied in Edmonton. Big third coming.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

Cat keeps it going in Edmonton. Arvy from DeBrincat and Raymond, 1-1 going to the third.

[Detroit Red Wings @DetroitRedWings]

Arvy party!

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@DetroitRedWings Last stop of the trip. Take two points home.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@Lions Monday presser after a walk-off hits different.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@Lions @FedEx 9 catches for 153 in a walk-off win. Easy vote.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@DetroitRedWings @sheetz 15 career points against Edmonton. No better night for Cat to keep that going.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@WeNotChuck Down 20 in Boston, short-handed in Philly, and it hasn't mattered. Three games is three games, but this feels different.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

No Duren, no Ausar, no problem. Cade 26/8/8, the Pistons go wire-to-wire in Philly, 3-0 and the East's only unbeaten. Misery meter down to 26. Best start in town right now: Lions or Pistons?

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

Bates from 22 at the gun. Lions 20, Packers 17, and the misery meter drops to 45. Branch is back, the defense held Green Bay to 17, and Campbell is defending that fourth-down call. So which was it: guts or luck?

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@RookieWatxh Nine catches for 153 in a rivalry game. The Sun God does it every single week.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@muhtxm Whatever he said, it worked. That final drive was surgical.

[Motor City Mood @MotorCityMood]

@MLiveSports A guy begging for more snaps and then backing it up. That is the kind of problem every coach wants.
