Updated 2225 EST with your hard to believe stat of the night. Bertuzzi’s goal was his third this playoff…his career high. He also equaled, with that goal, his career high in points(6).

wow, I missed the 1st, and tune in to watch the wings get back in the game.
What a horrible call though, that really sucks for the ducks…

If I’m a Ducks fan I am pissed.
But I’m a Wings fan so I will take the game-tying power play goal.

That’s weird, Hoser—This is one of those games when the Wings only score when I’m not watching. Apparently, you have to keep watching.
(So now I’m watching the Pistons try to finish off the Bulls.)

Well Baroque, I’m doing my part - but my part is a whole lot more fun, eh?
Posted by Hoser from Downer Peninsula, Michigan on 05/17/07 at 09:46 PM ET
You got that right, Hoser.
Yay! Pistons win and are going to the Conference Finals again! Maybe a good omen.

Bertooz on the cruz looking for something to bruise….my metaphors are mixed and so is the Rum.
Go Wings!!

So…....How is the hockey game going? Is my not watching helping them? :D
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/07 at 09:55 PM ET
Still 2nd intermission, not sure if you’re helping them in the room or not 
Not sure when you bailed, but it’s a 3 - 3 tie and the Wings have most of a powerplay to start the 3rd…
Posted by Hoser from Downer Peninsula, Michigan on 05/17/07 at 09:57 PM ET
HA…Baroque, I’m right there with you….my wife pulled some “spend time with your daughter while she still loves you” nonsense, and I had to turn the game off when it was 3-1.
Now that I hear it’s at least tied up, I’m reluctant to turn it back on…

Baroque, I’m in the same boat as you. Wings were down 3-1 when I left my friends house, got home and they have tied it up. I have turned off the tv since they seem to play better if I am not watching it live. I am TiVoing it though.

I did not bail!
Anaheim went up 1-0, I went to get a soda and make a phone call, Detroit scored to tie (while I wasn’t looking), then Anaheim scored twice and I switched to the Pistons at the first intermission.
Not bailing—just, as you are, doing my part.
(This is so silly—normally I’m not at all superstitious, I just have a lot of coping mechanisms.)
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/07 at 10:04 PM ET
Coping, coping. It is killing me not to watch the game right now but I don’t want to mess it up.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/07 at 10:05 PM ET
Hockey players are so talented—not only can they play hockey, but they also know exactly who is watching them and respond accordingly!

Oh, and a quick note about hockey in Southern California…I had a meeting with a client here in San Diego today. (For those not familiar with West Coast geography, we share a border with Orange County, and are only an hour outside the Pond.)
So I told him I was hoping to get home in time to watch the Ducks/Wings game. The guy looks me right in the eye and says he didn’t know it was soccer season.

hockeychic—Chocolate helps. Excellent comfort food.
Although I’m keeping my hands busy making a pink and purple purse to cheer up a coworker’s very sick little daughter.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/07 at 10:08 PM ET
I’m not remotely superstitious either, but for some completely unrelated reason I went out of my way to make certain the shirt I wore for game 3 was clean for tonight…
Posted by Hoser from Downer Peninsula, Michigan on 05/17/07 at 10:11 PM ET
I know what you mean, Hoser. My Red Wing earrings that I wore during Game 3 are back in tonight.
Baroque - chocolate, now we are talking. Well my kitchen is very clean as a result of this. Sigh.

What a wierd series… at least we have home ice back. Now let’s do something with it.
Posted by Hoser from Downer Peninsula, Michigan on 05/17/07 at 10:39 PM ET
Got the split at least. Unfortunately they’ll have two days to recover because it sounded like we wore their defense out pretty badly.
Posted by srt on 05/17/07 at 10:42 PM ET
Best of three series now.
How odd—what the heck happened to “both teams are strong in goal and defensively, so don’t expect a lot of goals?” Maybe both goalies have decided to alternate bad games and good games to keep things interesting.
I wonder if there is any sport less predictable than hockey.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/07 at 10:43 PM ET
Baroque - I think the answer to that is no. Sigh. A 3-1 series lead would have been nice.

Nice picture. Very apropos.
Hope your team-building dinner went well. (The last time I went on a “team-building retreat” the outing ending with leaping between canoes to spill each other in the river. Difficult to work the next couple days when angry co-workers weren’t speaking to each other.)
