24 hours until the wait ends.
24 hours until the real pain begins.
In 24 hours every shift is going to be a sharp breath you feel in places you don’t talk about at parties with people who don’t know hockey. You’ll only exhale when the Wings clear the zone or when Lidstrom has the puck. And yes, for more than a decade the puck on The Swede’s stick has been the universal “breathe” signal for Detroit fans.
In 24 hours helplessness will overwhelm you. It will carry you to a breaking point you didn’t know you had. You’ll be on the verge of something you want so badly but have zero control over whether it happens.
And so for the next 24 hours the anguish is going to betray you. Have a real productive day at work tomorrow. Go ahead. Let me know how that goes for you. Kiss the wife goodbye, or just put your lips on the nightstand and whisper to it. Whisper nice things to it, make promises and declarations. It makes no difference. You won’t remember a word you said anyway and if he or she tries to tell you later that you were literally kissing and speaking to a table you thought was your spouse? They’re lying. Lying liars.
For some of you tomorrow is the last day of school for a child of yours. That’s so very nice. A monumental day. Enjoy that. Seriously. Take it all in. Let me know how much you remember and let me know how your child reacted when she said, “Daddy, I’m a second grader…” and you said, “Get to the slot Mule.” Nice job Dad.
Do this. Start an argument with your significant other in the morning. Do it. Get it over with. Start it and don’t back down. Make your point, then make it again. When they say something like, “I can’t fu**ing WAIT for hockey to be over,” you say, “don’t ever, EVER, say that to me again.” For the win right there bitches. For. The. Win.
Your day is going to suck tomorrow. Let’s not kid ourselves. Stress will envelop you. You think it has already. But you’re wrong. None of us know what this is going to be like. None of us are responsible for our actions. You’ve got a waiver. I grant you that.
Here’s the thing though. As bad as the next 24 hours are going to suck? And oh my god they’re going to.
It’ll all be forgotten in 27. Every bit of it will be gone.
And then the fun begins. Then we see who sticks around. Then we see who’s gonna run their mouths and who sulks off and hides in the comfort of a place where posters of Vladdie are the norm.
24 hours of absolute terror and ultimate emotional wreckage is a precursor to three hours of emotions the kind of which you’ve never known because you’ve never seen a Wing Stanley Cup Final Game 7.
27 hours of pain. Got it? Can you handle that if it means 12 months of a cocky grin back in the faces of all the new friends we’ve made the last two weeks?
I think you can. Stress out now because you have to. It’s expected and it’s inevitable. But know this: it’ll be out of our system in 27 hours. Every bit of it. Every frigging morsel.
Because there is no way this team loses in that barn to that team in that situation with a legacy on the line.
I just hope everyone, and I mean everyone, comes back to have their say when it’s all said and done.
Unless something huge happens, I’ll be busy with this thing called a job all day tomorrow before a plane gets me back to DC about one hour before 7. In other words, this may be it until the LB.
Handle the stress. Deal with it. Deal with all that comes with it. You’re going to have an entire summer and an entire season to make sure everyone else understands there’s a dynasty in Hockeytown. Understand what I just said. 19 voices count for the next 27 hours and that’s it. No others.

I really wish the game were tonight. It’d be starting right now. I’m already a puddle…I foolishly hope for some big win just so I won’t have to about die, much like the Anaheim Game 7. This is going to even scarier…

No way this team loses tomorrow. This is the season of STFU.
12th home playoff win on the 12th for Cup # 12.

I took the day off work because it might be my only chance for a few days to mow my lawn - and if I don’t do it soon, the neighborhood lawn nazis are going to call and complain that I’m violating the weed ordinance. If I had my way, no one would have to mow grass - it’s the most *#$%@& useless example of a monoculture and waste of time, gas, money, and chemicals that I can imagine and should be banished to a botanical hell. And then die in a fire. Stupid *#$%@& grass.
Oh, and I’m doing some other stuff and errands, too - fortunately nothing that requires concentration. I’m an emotional wreck and a world-class internal Ack!-fest right now.

As a minimalist work of art, grass works for me in certain circumstances. I’ve never encountered those circumstances in the real world, but nonetheless, hypothetically it’s possible.
That said, I’d kind of like to rip up the grass in the yard, and all the weeds, and everything else that happens to be growing there. I’m talking tabula rasa, as landscaping goes. And then I’d like to see what grows—trees, shrubs, weeds, whatever, I wouldn’t care. Kind of a Darwinian approach to landscaping—may the best plants win.

The most beautiful yards I’ve ever had not a blade of grass.

Indeed- there would be great beauty to be seen in the changes over the years.

Seriously, what the *#$%@& is the point of grass? It’s not the most attractive plant around, you can’t eat it, it doesn’t provide any shade, it’s wind pollinated so it prompts allergy attacks, it doesn’t smell nice like flowers, it doesn’t provide any food or shelter for wildlife - and people have to waste time fertilizing it and killing the pests and reseeding the dead patches and mowing it and watering it with water that is safe enough to drink while one billion people in the world lack clean drinking water - and Americans use 50% to 70% of household water use outside - so it grows faster so they have to mow it more often and this is all for a plant that evolved millions of years ago and wonder of wonders, grew JUST FINE WITHOUT CONSTANT HUMAN INTERVENTION AND BABYING FOR MILLIONS OF *#$%@& YEARS!!!!!!
It’s just so stupid. Lawns. The only place where large expanses of grass are really appropriate ecologically is in the Northeast, and originally large lawns were a sign of wealth because it took a staff to keep it well maintained until some moron invented a lawn mower so now EVERYONE could have the status of having a lawn because they could do the work themselves - and then came weed rules and lawn nazis and people who insist on suburban conformity to the point that I want to punch them in the throats until their larynxes rattle like baby toys because I’m tired of hearing their inane drivel.
/sigh
My long-term plan is ground cover - I have a mess of wild violets right now that are choking out the grass in one area, and I’m planning on ornamental grasses in another spot, and I’m thinking mint plants elsewhere - they take over everything - and daylilies and irises will run riot if given the opportunity. And I’ll set up little tags by all the plants with the scientific names so it’s clear they aren’t weeds, it’s a botanical garden - and if anyone gets pissy about it, tough. They can bite me.

I have two huge maple trees on my boulevard, grass was impossible to grow so in went the ivy, best decision I made.
I have seriously looked into the turf that is installed af Ford Field too, all you have to do is sweep it!

Kind of a Darwinian approach to landscaping—may the best plants win.
If it wasn’t for the lawn nazis, that’s exactly what I’d do. Make the yard into an ecosystem, with trees and shrubs to provide shelter for birds and squirrels, a riot of wildflowers to attract butterflies and pollinating insects, greens to provide food for rabbits - and no time or money wasted on gassing up the mower, spending pleasant hours working outside instead of enjoying the weather, no wasted water keeping an unsuitable crop green ... more time with friends and family.
Lawns are anti-family and unpatriotic! 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 06/11/09 at 08:27 PM ET
Chief, you f*cking nailed it once again. 27 hours of pain…exactly what is happening here. As I do for most of the games, I will be watching tomorrow’s in a dark room all alone. Anyone that attempts to interrupt me gets short one word answers and if they push it, they get hateful screams of cuss words. All i want to do is feel that joyous relief of when the Hasek pulls into the station with another Cup riding in the caboose. I want to raise my hands in the air and clap and tear up when the Captain takes the cup from Gary.Ass. I want to call my friends back in Michigan and discuss how good it feels to have the Wings win the Cup again. And most of all, I want to come back amongst the 19 and celebrate #12 with all of you.

Another option is moss (my dirt is too crappy for that, though):
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/01/garden/01moss.html
I adore ornamental grasses, however, because of the low-care aspect - no pruning, no mowing, no watering once established - and I’m thinking sedges along a low area where water pools after every rain and snowmelt. Problem is unless you have a butt-load of money, landscaping takes time - and I’m very impatient where plants are concerned. I want the 10 foot tall cherry tree right now, not years down the road. I’m not sure how it would work out with the stupid rules, as it might count as “weeds higher than 12” in height” and need to be chopped down to the regular conformist height. Probably some judicious planting of lupines and daisies might work out - I’ll point out that it’s a natural cottage garden instead of the standard “isolated clumps of vegetation surrounded by acres of mulch” that everyone else has. 
/sigh
I don’t think I’m really cut out to live as a suburbanite.

And I should be actually finishing up some work instead of grass-ranting. God, I’m such a useless freaking mess already - and it’s still Thursday.

I’m heading to the Yoop tomorrow for Mom’s and Pop’s 50th anniversary. I don’t know if I’ll be able to live blog tomorrow night. I’m staying at my outlaw’s and they still use dial up so hopefully I’ll be able to pirate a neighbor’s wireless. My cousin (she’s a massive fan) from the D will be there so maybe we’ll head to the pub.
Why is it that Little Caesar’s tastes so much better in Michigan?
I hope that I’m a blabbering happy drunk for the party on Saturday and not a sulking bitch.
Go Wings. Skate to the mutherfuchin’ throat from the time that rubber disk leaves the incompetent’s hand until that magic horn sounds signaling #12 is staying home. Do this for the 19. This Band of Bitches.

Tomorrow in Brazil is our Valentine’s Day (more commercial than St. Valentine, but whatever)
Today we had a holiday, so I spent my time with the lady to be all-free by tonight.
I want to win, but some other things too:
-Hossa to score his last goal for us before getting rich in Edmonton
-no overtimes
-standing boo-ation for Buttman
-Cup-winner by Darren “God” Helm
Go Wings

I hope to continue to read about lawns instead of people from that other place. I like your plan re: the ornamental grasses. That will be lovely. I live on a marsh so at least half of the “lawn” is taken care of (and once a year giant snapping turtles come out to terrorize the neighborhood children - always entertaining).
I am just going to spend the rest of today watching “The Day the Earth Froze” a la MST3K and try to occupy myself with some other recreational activity that doesn’t involve alcohol until game time. Yeah right.
Posted by jennyquarx on 06/11/09 at 08:59 PM ET
I just finished watching ‘American Psycho’ and then read this. I think I’m going to go watch ‘Fight Club’ now and see if I can get to sleep after that.
Tomorrow will be the thousand yard stare all day. People in my office may talk to me, I may even respond, but the simple fact of the matter is I’m. Not. There.
Good night folks, until tomorrow. I have way more invested emotionally into this game than any sane person should have. Every last bit is in there. This time on Saturday I may not have a voice. I may not have a wife. I may not even have a house left.

Severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch down here in ATx. I am actually enjoying the storm as it matches my mood. Already fought with the husband and avoided all contact with strangers today. Tomorrow is going to be ugly. If my car has hail damage I might need bail money and a lawyer.

Just made the five-hour trip down to Grand Rapids. Have the daughter’s college orientation program until 3:30, and then at 3:31, not a minute later, we are heading east to Hockeytown, not north to home.
Hockeytown is home Friday.
Maybe we’ll get some tickets, maybe we won’t. It really doesn’t matter. What matters is just being there, taking it all in. Win or lose (and we will win), we just have to be there.
So, this will probably be my last post until the day after we find out if Stanley is staying in his adopted hometown, or if he must spend a year of hell in football country.
So good luck to all. You know, I stumbled across this site by mistake last winter, and sure as hell am glad I did.
You guys and girls rock.
Talk to you Saturday evening sometime.

We gotta game to play in less than 24 hours.THE game!
geez i’m a wreck already ...
Uncle Mike has a plan.
This team is very deep, very experienced.
Home ice, last change, best fans, history, confidence, skill, poise, grit, endurance, talent, ...
What does all that mean?
I don’t know. I can’t be sure. Too many variables, too many unknowns ...
BUT, the intangible “something”, that aura that is the Detroit Red Wings shall cause this team to achieve greatness, to obtain the prize of champions - Lord Stanley’s Cup.
12 on the 12th for # 12
GO WINGS!!!
geez i’m still a wreck ... for 27 more hours ... 
... tick ... tick ... tick ...
it’s gonna be a long night,
and a long day.
i’m babbling, right? 
sorry. i’m a wreck, killing time.
Is it Friday yet?

I was calm as the sea in Rime of the Ancient Mariner after the albatross was killed all day today… couple of excerpts if you will.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
My lips were wet, my throat was cold,
My garments all were dank;
Sure I had drunken in my dreams,
And still my body drank.
Cindy’s thoughts on Z?
Like one that on a lonesome road
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And having once turned round walks on,
And turns no more his head;
Because he knows, a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread.
Thanks Chief, that sea is now like the damn Bearing Strait on Deadlist Catch.
I’m having a 24 ounce micro brew with lunch and not lifting the foot off that pedal.

There are 2 main reasons why fans from other teams hate Red Wing fans -
1 - Because we KNOW our team is going to win.
2 - Because they Know it too and that burns them up more then anything else.
Did you hear everyone in Anaheim let their breath out all at the same time when the ducks won game 3? They all expected to be down 3. Same with Chitown & Pit - everyone at the same time. Now they Know that we will win again.
1 to 12

I took the day off work tomorrow. It wasn’t for this reason, but I’ll take it.
I have been trying to decide if I should be a nervous wreck, or take comfort in the Game 5 memory, and assume this game will be more like that one. With that win, we got two chances at the one win that matters, and we haven’t used them all up yet.
I’ll be on the road all day tomorrow, arriving at my destination just in time for happy hour for my pregame warm-up. This does mean that I’ll probably stay out in public for part of the game, too. Hope I stay in a good enough mood to stay out for the whole game.

Oh! Now we’re quoting literature! I don’t know movie lines, but I know some poetry.
“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade.
And yet the coming of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll.
I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.”
The title: Invictus (Latin for “invincible”)

I have already primed my co-workers for my actions I may regret tomorrow. I work in a post-op recovery room and may need to share meds with my patients. I’ll just tell them about the “Chief’s Waiver”. My wife has really impressed me during this years playoffs. During the season, I think she thought about committing me with my ranting ( I take everything back I said bad about you Ozzie).She has transformed into a lunatic the 19 would be proud of. Even the people she works with are afraid of her. 3 of them are pen fans and she is giving it to them with both barrels. 21 hours to go. Let’s finish these bastards off quickly al la 2002 dive.

And what do I find out at work today? I have to go in late to load bombs on a freakin WSEP jet that another base couldn’t support. When does the load start? Oh about 1700 Central time. How long will it take?
Well I know how long it’s SUPPOSED to take…but I already told the two Colonels that I’m walking off the flightline at 1840 cuz it’s a 20 minute drive home. My guys are stressed out because we have DTRA, some damn fool Colonels and some other jokers here watching us load…I’m stressed about missing the opening face-off.

My daughter insisted on watching “Hockeytown” tonight to bring good mojo for tomorrow. We did it last year. It was good to see Vladdy playing. It was good to think about some of the players I haven’t thought about it a long time (hello, Dougie Brown). Most of all, it was good to see the Captain.
Right before that I watched the end of a “Game 7s” special on the NHL Network and now I have indigestion. Whatever calm I felt earlier this week is gone. I’m a mass of nerves, a short fuse. 27 hours of pain….here we come. Pity my poor family.

It’s a damn good thing all of the important people are out of the office tomorrow. Sitting still and concentrating is going to be an exercise in futility. Is there a way to set this page to auto-refresh?
Mrs B, you should just turn your lawn into a big ole zen rock garden. It’ll serve as a nice balance to the chaos and nerves of the playoffs. You can rake it when you need the tranquility and let it sit whenever your feeling lazy.
I’ll be missing the liveblog tomorrow nite. Should have company to watch the game. Snacks and fridge stocked with Michigan Lager from Atwater Brewery. Should the unthinkable happen, I’m pretty sure I’m not going to have a working TV afterward. But damnit, I would love to make a trip down to Hart Plaza at some point in the next few days.
I just want to tell you all goodluck, we’re all counting on you.
