And Later That Night When The Ship’s Bell Rang?  That Was A Game 3 Live Blog, Brother

A muddy track deepinthehearta.  Sloggy and slushy.  Haze frigging gray and underway.  As it should be.

Wings win tonite?  Game, set, series.  Wings lose?  Start shoveling coal because we’ve got ourselves a Stress Train Special.

It’s a Game 3 Live Blog.  Commence your conversations.  The only mandate is juvenilicity.  I’ll join you when they drop the puck.

Updated 1940 EST:  Wanna guess who said this?

“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”

Yep. Turco

Fantastic Paul! He fits right in.

That certainly qualifies as my “retardedly-awesome” moment from Z.  One Kronner decapitation and I can hit the sack.

Nice snag, Ozzie…

Incidentally, Disch, it’ll probably be lost in the elation over the insurance goal, but I think I love your analogy so much I want to take it home and have sex with it, a few kids, marry it and grow old with it.

The Circus being well-rested, and our best defensive line…a good thing.  Uncle Mike is a deviously cunning bastard.

Geez… Draper is playing his ass off tonight. He’s hitting people, he’s winning faceoffs, he’s putting the pressure on.

Another good PK.  Nearly another shortie.

Skate to the throat, boys.  Do this thing.

Kronner nearly got his nightly slam in along the benches. Puck arrived and left just a bit to soon.

Noted, Andrew. 

Damn, Z…another almost shortie…that’s just mean.

Next round of predictions: D-Mac/Ott fight; breakaway save by Ozzie; a G from Buckets just to get him going.

Still waiting on the Kronner moment of head-removing greatness.

Put yourselves in Dallas’ shoes right now:  You need two goals and you’re getting a healthy dose of the circus…still fresh…both our most sound defensive line and the most potent offensive line they’ve seen all year.  It’s just not a good time to be wearing black.

No penalty call is a terrible decision by the refs.  They’re asking for this game to get out of hand in the waning moments.

Good thing Dats is the most aware player ever. I don’t think he ever gets fully hit.

I have never seen a better shutdown game that has such an aggressive edge, as I have with the Wings this year.  They wait for the opposition to make one aggressive move and strike back with an odd man rush.

They’re like the head of the chess club trying to bang the lead cheerleader.  One night, he’s really on top of his game.  He’s got all the lines.  He’s got his look just right and he just waxed the family Roadmaster.  After working it all night, he’s got the cheerleader alone in the corner of the party.  They’re both drunk enough to consider what might happen.  But then, just when he goes to make his move, the first string quarterback (The Wings), who’s been shotgunning beers all night and playing air guitar to Journey, comes up, grabs the cheerleader by the g-string, throws her over his shoulder, gives the chess guy the finger and pounds her out in the back of his ‘Stang.

He’s a closer.  He knows that’s his piece of ass.  He takes care of business.

I had to go back and find that in the thread.  I’ve seen children born, ships sail, wars won and victory parades. Rarely have I been as proud as I am right now.

Jesus, still on the bench.  Morrow is either a real tough competitor and legitimate captain material…or else he’s a real big idiot.
