If We Could Only Make Whitefish Bay…It’s The Live Blog Nobody’s Looking Forward To

Filled with anticipation for this one, are ya? Been looking forward to some late-night Wing brilliance to cap off a pleasant afternoon?
No?
I didn’t think so. How’s this for fun? Ready?
None of you even wants to watch this game. You don’t want to put yourself through the anguish or the pain.
You even told some people today that it might be time for a brief respite. Time to put the pipe down and attend a meeting or two. This crap’s not doing anybody any good.
That probably lasted until about dinner time. That’s when reality set in and optimism started to warm you again. It’s only October. They put up 49 against a hot goalie. Jimmah looked….good. The defense looked…better. The Unibomber was on a mission.
And it was the power play, of all things, that failed us.
See? That’s your mind playing sick tricks. You’re gonna watch it. And you’re going to hope the last one was the last one. That the last game against Denver was the “one to turn this thing around”. I opt for that. It’s what I believe and how I choose to live. I saw a team on Saturday that looked fast and aggressive. I saw a team on the verge of breaking out of this pisspot.
And call me naive but I think this ends tonite.
We got 15 miles behind us bitches. I see the lights of Whitefish Bay and I’m telling the cook to get his fat ass back down to the kitchen where he belongs.
It’s a Live Blog.

May and Bertdouchie return to the scene of the crime wearing the ugly winged wheel.

I try to save my predictions for special occasions, but here you bitches go. Pavel Datsyuk gets his first ever regular season hat trick. That’s right. Log that shit. Make. It. Happen.

Watching the WSH/PHI game and basking in the hate.
And for those freaking out about the bickering around here, do you live with the Leave it to Beaver family? This is basic family ish people.

I can feel it too.
Too bad I won’t watch it…I skipped class on Thursday.

God that would be incredible for my fantasy team.
For the record, I’ve been looking forward to this game since the second the last one ended, just like I do with every game. I didn’t have a second where I didn’t want to watch. I’m ready and waiting to watch the peppering of an elite goalie.
Oh and for hating the Red Wings so much, this hater guy certainly seems to be around a lot. Then again I suppose when hating the best organization in sports is the number one priority in your life, you make sacrifices to be there as much as possible.

Aloha bitches. Right smack dab in the middle of an Office marathon on TBS. It was that or hockey that didn’t include the Wings. The choice, oddly, was easy.

2nd line cashes in on overdue goals, Williams and Bertuzzi each pot one
Game winner scored by Zetterberg after a Samuelson turnover
That is all

But how will ever learn that Babcock is not the best coach in the league?

Wow, you’re blogging even while the bandwagon is still miles outside of town? We’re all shocked. Maybe you’ll do something worthwhile one of these days after all. By which I mean not turtling for 48 hours after every Red Wings loss.
Posted by Borque1977 from Boston on 10/27/09 at 08:41 PM ET
At least Center Ice has both feeds. Ken and the Muph I imagine. I’m ready.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Pass the beer please. I’ve been watching the Caps play Philly and it was nice not to give a sh*t about who gave up the lead. Tonight we turn this around - and if not, well, I’m drinking for myself and then throwing in a few in honor of Bella. Fil is going to be out of his mind tonight. I’m thinking Arby’s curly fries for all tomorrow.
Posted by Aimee in Austin on 10/27/09 at 08:43 PM ET
I can’t handle this whole live blog thing tonight. I’ve got a lot of glue sniffing to catch up on tomorrow.

Sup’ bitches? Just wanted to say thanks for the b-day wishes a few days back…been caught in the grind. (Thankfully that’s also kept me from seeing most of the games this season.)
Also, MO, saw your comment about San Diego - looking forward to raising a glass with you this summer in celebration of another Stanley Cup. First round’s on me.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/27/09 at 08:50 PM ET
Hoping it is deja vu for the Canucks tonight.
Vancouver was outscored 13-6 in dropping three straight to open
this season and allowed 3.7 goals per game during a 2-4-0 start.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd on 10/27/09 at 08:51 PM ET
I’m getting old. To make sure I could stay awake and fresh for the whole game without drooling on my work computer tomorrow, I took a nap. I tossed and turned and even had a brief dream starring Karen Newman rolling around with a bunch of puppies.
Even when I’m not looking forward to Wings games, I really look forward to Wings games. Bounces can’t go the wrong way forever. The kool-aid has gotten sweeter. Dr. Dangle is going to make me say something homoerotic tonight, I just know it.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/27/09 at 08:53 PM ET
4-1 statement game….....lidstrom, dats, tuzzi, leino….in order

Time to change direction . . . . positive thinking
Go Wings

Soooo…. If we win tonight, who gives Uncle Mike crap if he thinks Helm has learned his lesson and decides to dress him in the next game?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/27/09 at 08:58 PM ET
10 bells.
A “W” is ours to earn tonight - tonight.
GO WINGS!!!

Murph is talking about the playoff race in October. I love that drunken stooge.

That is a good summation. It’s a love hate relationship.

Murph is one heck of a guy. He’s very nice and will take time to visit with you if you’re lucky enough to meet him. I have some nice memories of Murph in Phoenix. He let me snap few photos with my sons. He’s extremely approachable.

Good Datsyuk love is like a good fart. Let it happen naturally. Try to force it and you’ll end up with shit.
