Questions For Your Live Blog

When is anyone outside of Detroit going to recognize the fact that the officiating in this series has cost the Wings the first two games?
One Trick Thid and the Pens are listed at 1900 on OLN. Wings are listed at 1930. What game will I get to see if I only have Gary’s closed-circuit tv station?
Updated: Here’s your answer to the VS question. Conspiracy? No. Just more obvious bias toward Gary’s Baby Boy.
From Jennemy of the Skate in the comments below:
The whole nation will be watching Pittsburgh Vs Montreal and the San Jose /Wings game will be JIP (Joined in Progress).
If you take a look at the versus schedule (Above link) you will see that not a single Penguins game is JIP.
With curiosity, I asked the young lady what drives their viewing schedule and was shocked by her response…..“The NHL tell us which games to air and that all Penguins games are to be shown live.”
Why aren’t I as nervous as I should be, with the Wings down 0-2? I’ll answer that one: because they’re a better team than the Sharks and because Nabokov has shown me nothing. The only advantage San Jose’s demonstrated has been the two-man variety, and it won them both games.
Who is going to step up tonite? Nick Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk and Hank Zetterberg. Because it’s what they do.
What happens now? Wings win tonite. What happens Thursday. Wings win then too bitch.
And then? Well we’ll just see won’t we.
All I really know is this: 1:19 seconds, plus the officials, did the Wings in on Thursday. The officials, hired and directed by Little Gary Bettman, violated Detroit again on Sunday. Will they pull the same tricks at the Joe? Most likely. But desperation has always bred success in Detroit so I’m saying they’ll win in spite of another obvious shaft job. And then they’ll win again in Game 4. This series goes back to NoCal tied up, and it’s not because of Jebus or providence or puppies or hookers on fire trucks. It’s because the Wings do well when they’re pissed and that they most definitely must be.
Live blog it.

Work, Gary and the V-network are keeping me from watching the first period.
V network and Habs pomp and circumstance are goin to conspire to keep you from seeing even 1 minute of Wings on VS tonight since it will be joined in progress after the Habs game

Lebda in for Lilja??

I’ll fuching cut you man.
It didn’t seem like he was out there that much
Posted by Osrt on 05/04/10 at 07:22 PM ET
With no Eaves or Lils, we can’t afford to take one fuching penalty.

Now, I am starting to worry.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
I have zero confidence in the ability of the referees to call a fair game. Considering that, I’m not sure if there is any reason to continue watching.
Posted by monkey from lighting my nuts on fire on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
Lebda replaces Lilja.
Jeebus…I hope you’re right, Uncle Mike.

Well, my fear factor just went up 22 notches.

Lebda in for Lilja??
That’s not even cool.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
It should be Lebda in for Ericsson. Ericsson in for Williams.
Ericsson I swear would be an effective forward.
Posted by moocat on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
Email Sunday from iNDemand said these two wings games were on center ice with FSD feed. We shall see.
NHL, Inc., sure knows how to F Up the great game of hockey.

Unless point # &) is achieved.
Habs/Wings for the Cup!

There are so many times that the shit Babbles does makes no *#$%@& sense whatsoever, and this is another.

Just pull the tinfoil down over your eyes.

Dive #1 in the Montreal/Pittsburgh game. Metropolit got tripped, but he absolutely flopped. Habs to the PP thanks to the bullshit.
This is the same duo that reffed our game Sunday.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/04/10 at 07:25 PM ET
The only reason I can think of is Lebda’s speed? But he is such a fuching liability when he jumps up into the rush on EVERY fuching play.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from California on 05/04/10 at 07:25 PM ET
Lebda in for Lilja??
At least it’s at the Joe so Babs can get the matchups he wants and minimize exposing Flubda.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/04/10 at 07:25 PM ET
Lilja logged only 7:16 in Game 2, as the club essentially used five defensemen in the third period.
He’s hurt. One shot block too many probably.
Mtl is not shooting nearly enough. But that PP was pretty solid; Suban looks like a gem.
Posted by Osrt on 05/04/10 at 07:26 PM ET
I am in passionate love with the Montreal powerplay right now.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/04/10 at 07:26 PM ET
Lilja has to be hurt.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 05/04/10 at 07:27 PM ET
I would honestly rather have Meech in than Lebda. Ugh.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from California on 05/04/10 at 07:28 PM ET
Ericsson I swear would be an effective forward.
Posted by moocat on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
I stated that earlier in the year, wondered if they’d consider putting him back in his natural position he played for the first 18 years of his hockey life. Something I’d sure consider.
Posted by RWBill from the Capital of the Confederacy. on 05/04/10 at 07:29 PM ET
Ericsson I swear would be an effective forward.
Posted by moocat on 05/04/10 at 07:23 PM ET
moo, he was a forward until he got into the NHL. center, to be exact.

They looked damn good. Pitt has to do something to quiet this crowd. Even Bob Cole is screaming just to be heard.
SHOT OF THE TIN FOIL PARTY!!!!!

please tell me this is one of those fake news stories like the chicago pizza crawl one that NBC picked up.
Posted by koalacaust on 05/04/10 at 07:31 PM ET
Lebda in for Lilja??
Not funny.
I noticed Lilja wasn’t taking any shifts late in game 2.

Evening, bitches. New computer = self ban on LB’s is over.
Let’s do this.

Ken and Mickey are music to my ears.

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/04/10 at 07:30 PM ET
I should have said NHL forward. 
I knew he was a forward at one point. He looks good in the O-zone it’s his own end that’s cringe worthy.
Posted by moocat on 05/04/10 at 07:33 PM ET
This works out for me! I got Ken and Mick.
First time too, that I can remember. I don’t think I’ve seen them do one playoff game.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 05/04/10 at 07:33 PM ET
Lebda in, Lilja out.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 05/04/10 at 07:34 PM ET
Mickey R. - ” ... they got the smelly end of the stick, no doubt about that.”
But tonights a new game.
Believe.

Lilja - - - a healthy scratch - - really?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/04/10 at 07:34 PM ET
That pass Jonny made to set up Cleary in game 1 was absolutely gorgeous.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from California on 05/04/10 at 07:34 PM ET
Evening bitches. Just popped up my online feed. Ken and Mick.
Lets. Go. Red. Wings.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Lidstrom's head telling him 1 more year on 05/04/10 at 07:35 PM ET
There goes the PK…we REALLY need to stay out of the box tonight without Lils.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 05/04/10 at 07:35 PM ET
Lebda in, Lilja out.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 05/04/10 at 07:34 PM ET
What the…...As if Ericsson doesn’t look confused enough out there
Posted by Bingo Bango Jessie on 05/04/10 at 07:35 PM ET
Oh, Richard Bernstein, how I missed you. Did you miss me too?
... I’m over here, Rich.

Work, Gary and the V-network are keeping me from watching the first period. I’ll join the LB after that as long as
A) I’m allowed to drink
2) I’m allowed to tie-off
&) I have a feed.
