Got A Worried Mind? Don’t Fret. It’s A Late Night Live Blog

Tardy start troopers. My sincerest apologies.
I’ve been dealing with the shame of daring to discuss Chris Osgood as a potential Hall of Famer.
My thoughts on that? Sure.
Hall of Fame? Yes. Up to the rafters with the legends? I’m not onboard. That’s nothing more than gut. When I consider #30 up there with 7, 9 and 19? I just don’t see it.
But how cool is this? What other franchise can make the claim that the Hall of Fame is a decent consolation prize?
Then again, should we get ten points in the next nine days and Osgood’s responsible for eight of ‘em? Hell. Raise that bitch up in New Year’s.
It’s a Live Blog bitches.

I love Ozzie. He lives in my old home town; Plymouth loves him. HOF and rafters. And for those that say he was not a career Wing, neither was Abel.
I think Vladdie belongs up there too. He may as well be, no one will ever wear 16 again anyway.

i’ll take solace in knowing that any goal ozzie lets in this year will in no way be worse than the goal the caps scored today from 181 feet away on pavlec (sic)

Unles.s Rummy and Gabe log on, it might just be you and me Cal

Gawd, looks like there are 23 people in the stands. I’m thinking this ain’t your typical Red
Wing away game sellout. It’ll be interesting to watch attendance figures on this road trip.

Late game, won’t make it. You 19 guys to the ice, me to bed.
Oh, and we’ll win 4-2, Helm and Dats score today.

Aloha bitches. I’m awake. I’ll try to keep this under 140 characters. I know at least one of you seems to be sensitive to that.

Now isn’t that a sad commentary on things.
Posted by calquake on 10/22/09 at 08:50 PM ET
I am ready. The effin Wings better be. These late games are usually worth the penalty tomorrow. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Is Pang still doing color for the Coyotes? I think i’ve got the phoenix broacast tonite.

We may only be 10 games or so into the season, but that will be the worst goal allowed in the league this year. Someone need to put that guy on suicide watch tonight.
Posted by dougie on 10/22/09 at 08:52 PM ET
Center Ice has both broadcasts.
Lets Go Res Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 10/22/09 at 08:53 PM ET
I’m in. We’ll see how long I make it. Might just follow the Chief’s lead and zonk out after 20.
Trying to find a feed, anybody got anything yet?
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/22/09 at 08:53 PM ET
if i had a time machine i’d go foward twenty minutes so i could just be watching the wings game instead of the Preds

Nah, he’s moved on to… somewhere else. I still like Dave Strader though.
Posted by calquake on 10/22/09 at 08:54 PM ET
Aloha, bitches. I never miss the late night games. After all, my drug dealer works late. 
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/22/09 at 08:54 PM ET
Panger is with the Blues crew now, isn’t he? Either way, I’m watching whichever feed they bless the single Center Ice HD channel with, since they often have weird taste in which games they put on that one.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/22/09 at 08:54 PM ET
Dilemma: HD with the Yotes announcers or standard with Ken and…Mick’s not with them is he?
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/22/09 at 08:54 PM ET
I think Pang stopped after last season because of the whole job instability thing of being a Coyote employee Chief. It’s long haired hippie Tyson Nash, I think.
Posted by Triple Deke Tyler from Lansing on 10/22/09 at 08:55 PM ET
Todd Walsh. Big head. Small microphone.

HD all the way bitch. Watch the colortini’s as they fly through the air.
(Tom Snyder reference, bitches, that’s right I did it)

I think that’s a no brainer Chief. Murph will probably fill in or somebody just as entertaining.

Every time, I go with the HD broadcast to start, but end up switching to the Detroit lo-def feed within 5 minutes.
Posted by dougie on 10/22/09 at 08:57 PM ET
@ JJ
looks like they have both feeds in HD on Centre Ice.
Posted by Itrusteddrrahmani from Nyc by way of A2 on 10/22/09 at 08:57 PM ET
“Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air.”
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/22/09 at 08:57 PM ET
I’d watch Lady Gaga shave her mustache if it was in HD; I think I can live with the Yotes announcers for tonight.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/22/09 at 08:58 PM ET
I think you’re probably right Dougie.
Man, since I only watch the Wings…I have no idea how i’m going to react to real hockey after five days.

Around here, I only get on HD Center Ice feed. I’m comforted by the fact that I get four different Big Ten Network HD Channels here in Kansas.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/22/09 at 09:00 PM ET
Good evening all. If I can stay up this late even while infected with swine flu, these bitches had better show up to play hockey. Go Wings!
Posted by Aimee in Austin on 10/22/09 at 09:01 PM ET
Game time. See ya between. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 10/22/09 at 09:01 PM ET
*one Center Ice feed, that is.
I think Voox’s drug dealer sold him my e.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/22/09 at 09:02 PM ET
Murph sounds in form. Bitches.

Posted by Itrusteddrrahmani from Nyc by way of A2 on 10/22/09 at 09:02 PM ET
Free feed available at the usual site for those who may need it.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/22/09 at 09:03 PM ET
The Flying Circus returns. Finally. It’s tried and proven. Bitches.

p.s. hearing murph just said “bryzgalov” and i swear he stressed syllables that aren’t even in his name….it was like in slow-motion…blew my mind.
Posted by Itrusteddrrahmani from Nyc by way of A2 on 10/22/09 at 09:04 PM ET
Rahmani: i’ve heard nothing but success stories about that. Lay on the outrage over Gary’s Versus and you’ll be in there. They’ll send hookers.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/22/09 at 09:04 PM ET
Ilya Bryzgalov looks like Ben Roethlisberger without the Down Syndrome.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/22/09 at 09:05 PM ET
So I decided to drop by the Chief’s twitter. Holy shit, he and the Pen(i)sblog are now BFF based on the love tweets back and forth. WTF, bitch?

Did you see what they have to do if the Wings make the playoffs?
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/22/09 at 09:07 PM ET
Damn, by the time this dude finishes singing the national anthem on 97.1 the Chief will be asleep.

Oh yeah. Goldilocks is in the desert now. Don’t miss him one bit.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/22/09 at 09:08 PM ET
OMFG, I totally forgot we were up against the Enigma tonight. Why are we even taking the ice?
Posted by dougie on 10/22/09 at 09:08 PM ET
I think there are more people on the ice than in the stands.
Posted by clups from Eugene, OR on 10/22/09 at 09:09 PM ET
How the F do you get Center Ice in HD? my comcast nhl center ice channels are all 4:3 crap.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/22/09 at 09:09 PM ET
Early pressure. Is it just me, or is the arena eerily quiet?
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/22/09 at 09:10 PM ET
“bertuzzi missed the net.”
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/22/09 at 09:10 PM ET
I just don’t understand mixing up the first two defensive pairings but not the third.
