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.
