Just when you thought you’d had all the Wing gear you could handle. Your bulkheads are covered in banners. Your wardrobe is red, white and white, red. Every hat, every t-shirt, every gym bag…all Red Wing.
Well, because I care, I bring you the penultimate (there you go Baroque) addition to your Wing collection.
For fifteen bucks, The Enigma.
And if you look real hard, you’ll that the speed with which he’s moving in that picture is just a shade faster than he ever backchecked for the Wings.
Thanks to Gramps for the pointer. And for the record, I don’t think the Wings looked sloppy last night. I think they looked soft, especially to start the second.

Sloppy, soft. With this team, that’s puh-tay-toe, puh-tah-toe. You know what I mean?
By the way, if that game didn’t show just how badly the Wild are our bitch, I don’t know what would. They played the best game they are capable of, Detroit played one of the worst games they could play (looked like the team that lost to the Oil), and the Wings still won.
Good stuff.

Sloppy and soft. Sounds like the weather in Detroit today…
Something tells me that the dude won’t be able to GIVE AWAY the Lang figure…Ha ha!

I have a stick that is almost identical to the one he’s holding…

So what’s the ultimate addition?
I’m in a bit of a pickle…going to the Sharks-Dique game tonight, not sure who to root for. Used to be Sharks by default, but I’m really starting to hate Ron Wilson’s guts. Maybe I’ll bring a book to read.

Avian flu. Outbreaks in both dressing rooms.

My suggestion for the ultimate?
A signed photograph of Detroit Red Wings Captain Nick Lidstrom lifting the Stanley Cup, while Don Cherry’s head explodes in the background at the thought of a team with a European captain winning (since everyone knows only North American captains are capable of leading their teams to championships).
Time to shovel again.

That was my initial thought too, Chief. But then I realized it actually looks more like he’s doing the Hokey-Pokey. Or is it the Soupy Shuffle?

Yeah, don’t most McFarlane figures have a list price of $14.99? So, that “certified authentic” autograph adds a value of exactly…zilch. The seller should have listed it as the Special Hokey-Pokey/Soupy Shuffle Edition Robert Lang figure. Then, the bids would be flooding in.

while Don Cherry’s head explodes in the background
I think Don’s head must have already exploded, years ago. When was the last time anyone saw him from behind???
