My God Douche this is all about the Predators isn’t it? Is there another team on the ice today?
Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 01:54 PM ET
Good to say Chelios back on the ice. Especially for this game…nobody’s going to touch his record for decades.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/12/08 at 01:55 PM ET
It’s bad enough listening to Ed-zo, Douchie Douche, and Doc rim job Bubba, but now the refs are getting in on the action, too?
Awesome.

Douche…...........an A—! same as 97’ put us down…....we will WIN!

I’m amazed Mr. Douche Canoe can even talk when he is taking all the preds as deep in his throat as he is.

Doesn’t Trotz look like Edward G. Robinson? All he needs is a cigar.

What a brain cramp by NSH Too many men on the PP.

Trotz looks like a Troll Doll!
Posted by dwingsrock from VA on 04/12/08 at 01:58 PM ET
Hey Edzo, you got something on your face… Brown… Lips… Stinky…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/12/08 at 01:59 PM ET
I’m not sure if you guys have talked about this, as I usually don’t read the Wings posts, but I was just wondering how there could possibly be SO many empty seats at the Joe? I know they’d been having a little struggle with attendance this season, but in the playoffs??? Why?
Posted by NHLJeff from Pens fan in Chicago, IL on 04/12/08 at 02:00 PM ET
Intermission now Douche explains that, inspite of what’s on the scoreboard, Nashville is actually leading the game.
Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 02:00 PM ET
Whew. First caution flag of the day.
Crazy mad pace. Like tossin’ a field mouse into a barrel full of barn cats.
Posted by O-Joe from a Cracker Barrel somewheres on I-65 on 04/12/08 at 02:01 PM ET
They are sold out!!! Maybe some people could not make it!
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 02:01 PM ET
@RWB…not to stand up for Douche, but Bubba is doing alot better this game.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 02:03 PM ET
What game are the announcers watching? Are they blind? Are they drunk? Maybe they are figgen biased pr—Ks!
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 02:04 PM ET
Jeff it’s because Detroit is a premiere major league city with multiple sports teams, the fact that the Tigers have sold 20,000 more season tickets than 3 years ago impacts how many people will also pay for NHL playoff tickets, esp first round where the Red Wings have been for 17 straight seasons. Compare this to Vancouver where the Canucks are the only show in town so in the rare event when they do make the playoffs it’s a big deal.
Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 02:04 PM ET
Anyone else notice the little tape thingy next to Douche at the beginning of the game on the wings side of the posts between the bench? Can’t remember what it said, but it was there at the beginning of the last game too…I think it was E.H.M.B. or something like that…
Very good first period. I think bubba is thinking that they can take it, but Dom is literally standing on his head. Thank God.
Posted by eyesris from Asheville, NC on 04/12/08 at 02:06 PM ET
Oh geez, these guys should just blow Arnott on camera and get it over with.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 02:06 PM ET
jrl
for sure Preds had a good first period. Wings need to lock down the D zone like the first game.
Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 02:06 PM ET
I have to agree with Duthie. Based on the ONE replay NBC showed, it looked like the puck went over the line just before Bonk knocked the net off.
I take it I’m not the only one who noticed the tone of disappointment in McGuire’s voice when he talked about the too many men penalty?
The Wings have been good offensively, but the Predators had the edge in that period. If not for Dom, Nashville would have a decent lead going into the second.
I guess they aren’t going call charging in this series.

Behind Ellis’ left shoulder there’s a chick with a red V neck top with huge jugs.
Sweater puppies…

|| Jennifer || Thanks for that visual. < gag >
Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 02:08 PM ET
Jen. Really, what the he—! Arnott….not playing well in the playoffs is he? Unless that changes…we will see.
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 02:09 PM ET
I can’t believe it. The NHL has actually done a commercial that features a Wing. Go Z!
And now back to our regularly scheduled Red Wings Don’t Exist Broadcast.

Posted by RWBill from Richmond, VA on 04/12/08 at 02:10 PM ET
NHLJeff, I think it can be summed up in four words: Lower Bowl Ticket Holders. I seriously think the Wings season tickets were such a hot item for so long that the executive types that can afford the them don’t want to give them up…but they apparently have betting things to do that show up. It drives me nuts to see those seats empty.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/12/08 at 02:10 PM ET
Well, the tongue bath that they’re giving them is enough to make me gag. Does everyone in the media hate the Wings? It’s frustrating that they’re always so disparaging about the Wings and yet sucking up to everyone else.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 02:11 PM ET
Jealousy is so unbecoming of you Mr. Douche…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/12/08 at 02:12 PM ET
WTF?.....The little bald fellers with the microphones sure like the Preds, but they seem to revel in the aura of all that is TuTu…and it’s so cute that his number is two two….can’t wait till they figure that one out.
D-Mac is on the road to a Gordie Howe hat trick….it’s turtle time!

Gabriel… a lot of the lower bowl season ticket holders also have Olympia Room passes. So a lot of the executive types hang out down there during the games schmoozing and boozing.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 02:13 PM ET
Huh. On second thought, that latest replay shows that the net was starting to move when the puck went over the line. That should mean no goal.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/12/08 at 02:13 PM ET
Amazing how disappointed Doc and Edzo are that the refs don’t count Nashville “goals” that cross the line as the net comes off…
Hope the Hasek Club Car has a barf bucket, cuz I’m gonna hurl…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/12/08 at 02:14 PM ET
NBC a little slow on that no-goal from Bonk in the net. That was just as close as the Calgary game the other nite with Iginla in the net, and the Flames got that one.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 04/12/08 at 02:14 PM ET
Eyesris, yep, saw that too…I don’t remember the letters, but I did a mental check to make sure none of them incuded “D.C.”
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/12/08 at 02:17 PM ET
F YEAH!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 02:17 PM ET
Hey, maybe it’s karma. This makes up for the off-the-net goal.
...Lidstrom + The Screen!
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 02:17 PM ET
One more goal and this will get “nasty”...
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 04/12/08 at 02:19 PM ET
What the heck is wrong with the officiating AGAIN???
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 02:21 PM ET
holding the stick?! are you freaking kidding me? you can hook someone in the leg and they get called for holding your stick?! pathetic officiating, as usual.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/12/08 at 02:21 PM ET
The DC reaction to a bad diving call on Hasek… “Oh well.”
Ass.
Posted by Clark on 04/12/08 at 02:21 PM ET
Datsyuk is the takeaway master! Pierre just talked about how Radulov was soft on the boards. No respect.
Posted by Alex from San Francisco on 04/12/08 at 02:21 PM ET
so Hasek pushes the guy’s stick out of his midsection, where it doesn’t belong anyway, Hasek gets a penalty? absurd.
