Alright….Thinking About A Liveblog

Updated 2055 EST: Big test for Versus!!!!!!!. What are they gonna do when we’re halfway through the third of a blowout in Ottawa when the puck drops in Calgary? I know what I’m gonna do if we join that game late.
Updated 1954 EST: Just got an email from AlanaH. She said she may drop by, but the few times she’s conversed with Wing fans she’s been left adjusting to the fact that they are wittier than she is. It’s tough for her. Be gentle.
[Alanah Note: Yes, IwoCPO, you are correct—frequently, when I think about your team, I laugh. Hasek’s fashion clothing line probably has a lot to do with that…]
[Iwo Note: Oh AlanaH. Don’t be bitter. I’ve corresponded with all the regulars and they promise not to mention Cloutier if you hang out tonite.]
Updated 1953 EST: Alright, alright. You’ve spoken. I will attempt a live blog. But if bad things happen…well, if bad things happen I make no guarantees. I’ll start it out at 2115 and we’ll go from there. And if Ottawa and Pittsburgh go into OT, I’m gonna be tough to deal with.
I’ll leave it up to you rat bastards. If you’re in, I’ll make it happen. I make no guarantees though. If the stress gets the better of me and I go all fetal, it may be short-lived.

Good Luck Chief: By the time the game rolls around I have no faith Ill be able to even see the keyboard let alone have the energy to type. Like you, I’ll probably be fetal before 10 minutes of the game pass.
Wings 2, (F)lame 0—assuming Hasek plays. Too tight a game to type over.

I say just make a “gametime” post when the game starts, and we’ll all use it to vent/rant/rave/cheer as the game goes on.
we don’t expect you to post regular “what’s happenings” like the Freep does - you just watch the game!

Paul, you’re probably right. And Jeff, you’re definitely right. But I’ll give it a shot. Probably a few posts per period, or as many as the beer and stress allow.

A vote for hell yes here - I’m sure you’ll have a ragtag supporting cast to help out, although I know I tend to get rambly and a tad profane when the PBR’s get flowin’.
Well, that and the explosive diarrhea, but I won’t mention that out of respect for some of our fairer readers.
Um, oops.
Go ‘Wings.
(No prediction after the jinx of the **eep prediction)

Why not give it a shot? I like Alanah’s liveblogs a lot(although I don’t know if she would want to compete with a sailor on the drunkenness front!).

Well I’ll keep the laptop close by if you have the courage to try this. You might’ve done yourself a favor and picked a game where you don’t have to be awake in the friggin’ middle of the night. Ah, such is life for an Eastern time zone team in the Western Conference, shouldering the burden of keeping half the teams in the West afloat… all by itself. Thanks NHL. And then they screw us with this NBC-dictated schedule to boot! One of these days, Alice…

Baroque, AlanaH and I established a long time ago that there are many levels on which she shouldn’t try to compete with me. Drinking is just one.

I’d love to see you liveblog. It will be a very entertaining read.
Posted by Christy on 04/19/07 at 06:12 PM ET
Honestly, I don’t like live blogs from a reader standpoint. Is anyone actually going to be in front of their computer when this game is on?!?!?
Posted by Nathan on 04/19/07 at 06:40 PM ET
I will be sitting in front of my computer…because I am stuck at work…

Chuckles that I get at least an hour extra than you all in the Great Lakes State.
Damn TD—you get a few too many PBR’s in ya, and you’ll be spending more time in the latrine than you can get at the keyboard—unless you carry the laptop in with ya. Cervaza (dos Equis) here buddy!! Although I sorely miss my jaunts across the St. Clair River to get some Mr. Labatt’s flavor of the month!!!!!
Chief: Always remember Alanah, or any other woman, may not be able to compete with any USN man on very many fronts at all—BUT no sailor is worth his salt without one!! And it is never a good idea to proclaim publicly what you wouldn’t proclaim privately!!! Having said that, there arent too many squids I could keep up with at the bar either (me the good upstanding former USA paratrooper). Must be something genetic about a squid that lets them hold copious amounts of alcohol!!!!
