One of my favorite tunes of all time and a tribute to the best frigging Captain in the history of professional sports. What became inevitable on June 7th, 1997 won’t actually occur for 48 more hours. But you just know tonite’s all about 19.
So let’s Live Blog this bitch, eh?
I’m betting HNIC will show most, if not all, of this…
Former Detroit Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman, ex-Wings Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille, Brian Leetch and Lou Lamoriello will be honored tonight during a pregame ceremony at Air Canada Centre.
The five will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night.
The festivities will push back the start of the Wings-Leafs game by 20 minutes, for a 7:28 puck drop.

Hurricanes G Ward taken to hospital with leg cut
By RUSTY MILLER, AP Sports Writer
55 minutes agoCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—Carolina goaltender Cam Ward(notes) was taken to the hospital after his leg was cut by a skate during the first period of the Hurricanes’ game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
Hurricanes spokesman Kyle Hanlin said Ward, who was helped off the ice by two trainers, went to the hospital for further evaluation.
Ward stretched to make a save while Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash(notes) skated through the crease at 7:35. It appeared Nash or a defenseman nicked Ward in the leg with a skate.
Ward knelt for a couple of minutes on the ice before he was attended to by the trainers. As he was being helped off, drops of blood hit the ice.
Michael Leighton(notes) replaced Ward in goal.

I love how we scratched Eaves to give May 6 minutes of fightless icetime. And I love how Ericsson/Lebda have 23+ min. in combined ice time. What the fuch Babs?!??!?!

My Cornell Big Red came back from 3-1 to win 6-3; I have to think the Wings can do 3-0

I thought Eaves was scratched because his foot was still hurting from that blocked shot Thursday night.

Pavel has fallen a lot trying to stop tonite. Apparently the ice is to hard. But man, look at homer fly.

He was listed as a Healthy scratch so…

Datsyuk leading by example there. Fell down but never lost control of the puck.

Well I just got home, but I know EAves foot is bruised badly and Brad May has 1 1/2 eyes, so ...
CLEARYYYYYYYYYYYY

That was insane.
Clears with #100.

Who am I kidding we never beat Toronto, no matter how much they suck. Funny to watch how happy they get over it though. At the Joe last year, you would have thought they just won the Cup, even though we just won the Cup.

Ron Wilson’s voice grates on me even when I can’t hear it.

Cleary!

Honestly I wasn’t being a dick with the “so….”, Pgoody, that was mere coincidence. He blocked a shot last game and bruised it.
Posted by Triple Deke Tyler from Lansing on 11/07/09 at 09:23 PM ET
Tomas Fleischmann with his second of the game, too - now 7-4 Washington.
Wow is Florida ever bad, but horrid defense makes for exciting hockey.

Buckets 100th. Bitches.

The next 3 goals are HUGE.

Why was that called? No one touched the puck that I saw.

Oh no no I wasn’t implying anything. I dunno thats just how I typed it.
Posted by pgoody on 11/07/09 at 09:25 PM ET
Shutout jinx successful.
Next step - the “Monster” will totally get a win in this game. No question that he will shut the door after that goal and the Toronto Maple Leafs will play airtight defense in front of him.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 11/07/09 at 09:25 PM ET
What’s the NHL record for most SHG scored during one two minute PK?
Posted by monkey from here to Timbuktu on 11/07/09 at 09:26 PM ET
Ha. You could read Uncle Mike’s lips: “That was just a *#$%@& bad call.”

Hehe yea just like they did against Montreal.
Posted by pgoody on 11/07/09 at 09:26 PM ET
I have seen 2 shorthanded goals scored by the Wings during the same kill. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 11/07/09 at 09:27 PM ET
They had to call it thought the the PP were in favor of the Wings 4-2 so…

No I meant that you said “so…” first, and I wanted you to know I wasn’t mocking you, that’s all. It was just a weird coincidence that I typed that right after you did. So no worries, we can still be interweb friendz.
Just to catch me up ... how bad is this game on a scale of 1 - 10? Like a 1 would be the Wings playing the Avs in the ‘08 playoffs, and a 10 would be ..... well nevermind they just scored, so fuch it.
Posted by Triple Deke Tyler from Lansing on 11/07/09 at 09:28 PM ET
Well good thing Ericsson was out for the PK….
Posted by Bingo Bango Jessie on 11/07/09 at 09:29 PM ET
Shitty game and shitty liveblog, we’re not even flirting with 8 pages yet.
Posted by pgoody on 11/07/09 at 09:30 PM ET
Ah, shit.
Well, the pre-game ceremony was really nicely done. So there’s that.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 11/07/09 at 09:30 PM ET
I don’t remember seeing Pav mad at a ref, ever.

First period was about an 8 minus Lebda. Since then its been a nap for the guys in red.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 11/07/09 at 09:30 PM ET
Oh BTW in awesome news the BlueJackets are winning their game with a minute to go.
Posted by pgoody on 11/07/09 at 09:30 PM ET
J.J. about to storm the ice and ninja kick Lebda, watch.
Posted by Triple Deke Tyler from Lansing on 11/07/09 at 09:31 PM ET
Crap way to celebrate the Stevie. My LB record so far this season has been for shit. I’m going to have to bench myself.
Posted by Bella on 11/07/09 at 09:32 PM ET
Does someone have a picture of that cartoon “the critic”? IT STINKS
