What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYahoo Sports reports two Detroit Red Wings rookies got their first NHL goals, but the team mood is not celebratory. Kenji, take one.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHot take: first goals are the only thing a rookie owns. Losing the game doesn't take that away. Frame the puck, bro.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. That's just a nice sentiment wearing a helmet. Brock, your take.

  4. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistHot take: the team mood was a low-pressure system. One bad period rolled in and ruined the whole forecast.

  5. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSame thing happened to my love life.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHOT. Blaming one period like a cold front is bold. Nobody asked about your love life, but it's a vibe.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy final take: the rookies should celebrate anyway, in a strip mall food court, with free refills.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHottest take of the night. Blazing. Please stand back from the thermometer.
