Team Dub just suggested a liveblog on the post hi-jacked by hippies and criminals below. We’ll start it here while I try and find a feed on the computer. NHL Network has screwed me again. Blacked out.
For your reading pleasure at intermission. Notice the selective use of exclamation points, always an indicator…at least in my book.
“Being named Hockeytown USA just confirms what all of our young players and their families believe, that we truly are the State of Hockey,” added Mark Jorgensen, Executive Director of Minnesota Hockey. “We’re proud to be a small part of that with so many other great hockey organizations!”
Oh…and there’s also this from Hockeytown (minus the Cups) USA.
And the final word from “the new Hockeytown’s” finest?

How was that not a trip on Zetterberg there?

Yeah, but the Wings are apparently in a lead-defending mode. Even the Habs of the 70s did that.

Jiri’s got a heavy shot, I’ve just noticed. Particularly when he’s pissed, like he was just there after taking a stick to the face.

Ellis deserves more than the 4 points he’s got. Seems like every other shift he’s out there, he’s got a great chance around the net.

Yep…I’d say Hasek is back.

Aw, come on! That was all puck!
Sheesh, Dom…

So, I think we have a new candidate for the most dominant performance by the Wings this season.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids on 12/07/07 at 10:00 PM ET
Agreed Matt. I think the Montreal game was on par with tonite, but I won’t quibble too much. Datsyuk apparently just said something funny but I have no frigging idea what it was.

And, oh yeah, I forgot.
“our best players have to be our best players”
What a f%$#king genius.

Yeah, I keep hearing how Pavel knows English better than he lets on and I think we were just witness to him laying the accent even thicker than usual. Maybe he was wishing Hank had been made to do the inteview.
I think that’s the most funny we’re likely to see him, since he keeps his sense of humor to the locker room. Sucks.

You’ve seen the Wings dominate…but have you seen the Wings dominate on weed???
—> 2 pts for anyone who can say where that’s from.
Ok, enough drug references from me.
I have never seen anyone fly head over heels like Gaborik, and will be glad to see it on every highlight reel. Perhaps we should read it as life’s symbolic play; Gaborik, as the leader of the new HockeytownUSA, comes flying down the ice only to be challenged on by a veteran Dominator. The former flips over and falls on his ass but looks back to see what the heck hit him. The veteran Dominator, who is dominating again, gets penalized for setting the young buck straight (on his butt).
Yes people, we will be penalized for calling out land-o-lakes but must remember what makes us the true Hockeytown(USA): access to real TimH coffee and the 08 Cup.

Why TF are more and more Wings games not shwoing on my Center Ice? Is this an NHL TV thing?
Posted by BDH on 12/07/07 at 11:06 PM ET
Franzen’s goal: ... $4
Hudler’s goal: ... $5
Hank’s hat trick: ... $10
Hasek’s takedown of Gaborik: ... Priceless!
That, my friends, is a highlight for the ages!

Speaking of the commentary disaster known as Larry Murphy… does anyone remember the game going down the stretch last year (this was sometime between the ASG and deadline) where he was in the booth with Ken on a west coast game, and took us out to the break by saying:
“And with the stoppage in play at the eleventeen minute mark, we’ll take a break with the score…”
Three-year rookie, indeed.
Posted by Nathan on 12/08/07 at 08:54 AM ET
I haven’t been able to see a Murphy broadcast yet, but the comments remind me of Doug Brown’s disastrous stint as the TV color guy. If you drank enough, he sounded like Mike Tyson commentating on hockey.

Hah! Maybe Murph had just been watching Numberwang:

“Twentington!”
“Filf-hundred and neeb”
“Shinty-six!”
“Oh, I’m sorry, shinty-six IS a real number, as used in the popular phrase, ‘I only have shinty-six days left to live.’”
Watched Dom’s move. Now my sides are splitting. Now THAT was a check (Czech?). DON’T get in that mad bastard’s way when he’s been stewing.

You got that right brother. Viva Shreddies!
Although I think we’re starting to get on the Chief’s nerves with all the drug talk. Better stick to the non-drugs for now, like alcohol and caffeine.
And this from Russo:
“Hey, if you’re going to play in Detroit, you have to have something to like, I guess. Just a joke, just a joke.”
Joke or not, have you BEEN to Minneapolis-St. Paul? You know how you could tell ‘Fargo’ was fiction? Because it made MSP look INTERESTING. Gawd, what a boring town. Especially since they cleaned up Ninth & Hennepin and shoved the peep shows, pimps (resplendent in clothing straight out of I’m Gonna Get You Sucka) and all-night diners out to Eau Claire. Gimme drive-bys and crack dens any old day. At least with that you get a Voodoo Man of Heidelberg Street every so often.

Murphy is pretty bad as an in-studio guy, but I think he does a good job between the benches. When he can supplement what Daniels and Redmond are saying with stuff based on his playing days, what he says is generally valuable. He’s better off-camera and off-the-cuff.

Great play by Rafalski there. He could have stayed in the zone to take a shot at picking up the puck, but he took off to center and was right where he needed to be when the Wild tried to send it up the gut.
