A few issues. First, I’ve decided Live Blogs for road games will feature lyrics specific to the state in which the Wings are playing. Oh, I know. It’s nutty. But that’s who I am.
Secondly, I’ve decided to decree something. I’m not sure if I spelled “decree” correctly, but decreeing I am. Any game in which the Wings are outshot, I’m decreeing it a loss. And my decree will be so public as to snap the Wings out of their bowls of milk (hangovers).
It’s a Live Blog bitches. A post-hangover Live Blog featuring the guy who’s picked against the Wings in practically every series the last five years. Your thoughtful prose is welcome, along with your courtesy and restraint (Stones reference).

Actually, you may want to consider applying the decree to all games. Just think of all the primo local talent you could showcase. Madonna for instance.

Please tell me one of the games north of the border will live blogged with the Tragically Hip as the lyrical influence, dude.. like seriously. It’s all things Canadian.
Now, lets serve The Mullet some frigging octopus. I hate his greasy haired ugly suit wearing a$$.

I’m looking for a big game by the guys wearing letters on their chests tonight. Time to show Uncle Mike how you earned it in the first place.

I’ve had this game circled on my schedule the day TB did the publicity stunt of signing on Melrose Place
I have trouble remembering the last time the Melrose Place picked the Wings…I think it goes back to some bad feelings with the Adirondack( organization. I believe he was part owner.
You know the Red Wings watched Sportscenter and saw him time over time pick against them.
I’m calling for a butt-whooping…..
Wings 6, Melrose Place 2….
2 goals for Huds….

Along with a little coke and sympathy, too? (I might be mixing songs here)

Gordon Lightfoot, how’s about some Gordon Downie… eh?

The Tampa game is sold out,
and it looks like the fans are all wearing the winged wheel.

BP29er,
I have a framed black n white photo of your avatar in a 9"x12”.
Humbling to the whiny bitches around the league.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 07:21 PM ET
beyond humbling….
I was humbled enough at the game Tuesday and had to resort to finger pointing at the 11th to some over anxious Pens fans…
Posted by BP29er from In a TeePee skinnin' me some Blackhawk on 11/13/08 at 07:24 PM ET
More on the title for the evening and I find it rather appropo for where the Wings are right here n now…
“Oh, yesterday’s over my shoulder
So I can’t look back for too long
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can’t go wrong “
We’ve got a long season and some work to do. Focus on today and tomorrow. Last game is already gone.

NHL ALL STAR Voting Crap.
The NHL voting is off to a great start rivaling years past. Take a look at the two top forward vote getters. These Dallas “Stars” are not even in the top 30 scoring. Further, Dallas is at the bottom of the Pacific Division. This should provide you enough reason for your second barf of the week.
I emplore you, you will feel like showering after visiting the NHL web page in order to get rid of the stench of corruption that permeates this League, but you owe it to go through the registration process, carefully UNchecking the box to get email updates from various clods, and cast repeated votes for the forwards who truly deserve to be in the top 3. Here’s a hint, 2 of them were Selke finalists last year and the 3rd leads the Wings in points this season.
Let’s do our duty especially in the wake of another fix-is-in sham by this abortion of a league under Gary.Ass.

One minute and counting.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 11/13/08 at 07:29 PM ET
Here’s hoping the Wings win in “Margaritaville” but if they don’t “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” while playing with our “Pencil Thin Mustache”. That’s all I got… GO WINGS!

Ok, bad play is behind them! I vote for the need for change!!! play the freaking way they can!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 11/13/08 at 07:32 PM ET
Here’s to hoping that the Wings change the old question to WBGRN? (Who Broke Gary Roberts’ Nose?)
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 07:32 PM ET
I, for one, hope Ribeiro the heroin addict (“allegedly”) takes first overall for Western forwards. Just for more proof that Bettman is the ultimate example of priveledge mixing disastrously with extreme ignorance.

I vote for the need for change!!!
I think we’ve all heard enough of that in the last few months.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 07:35 PM ET
B n Habs. Pens n Flyers.
Should be 2 other decent games. Just sayin’.
Good on TB for Military Night.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 07:36 PM ET
I vote for the need for Rafalski to have a solid defensive game and Stuart/Kronner showing back up on the radar.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 07:36 PM ET
I vote for someone to post a live feed link, and that someone is me:

No comment.
Other than what I posted the other day about being able to live with your vote a year after you cast your ballot.

And if she does notice?
Well, it’s not like I’ve ever maybe…you know…said I have to work late, just so I can kick back and watch the game iin the peacefulness of my office. I wouldn’t do that.

MO, Lord Lightfoot IS all things Canada. Most Canadians, like myself, hate the Hip and would choose Gordon Lightfoot over Gord Downey. He even has more letters in his name, which is important.
When we go to Vancouver, I would recommend the slightly cliché Snowbird as the lyrics. The Anne siings about waiting for her man to come home to her, despite his well known womanizing. Kind on like wooing Sundin with a big nest egg while watching him court others.
Stamkos is a neighbour and family friend of my relatives. I am rooting for the kid to do well both on the ice and losing Melrose ASAP as his handler.
The Bolts were trying to sell season tickets by marketing they had one of the best teams of all time. We’ll see how many renew after watching Barry in action.
Chief, train Bos’n to get you a beer every time we turn over the puck, and you’ll be drunk by the second. They’re now serving evening customers on the Hasek, first round’s on me.

Voox, I grew up and lived about 25 years within an hour south of Montreal. Not that far removed… and sorry to say I guess but I’m a big time Hip fan.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Voox, that little bastard owns the house already. I’m getting him beers.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 11/13/08 at 07:41 PM ET
BAM! Kronner…
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 11/13/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Nice “Let’s go Red Wings!” chant to start the game…
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Dear Uncle Mike,
I am officially off vacation.
Kronwall

I served beer to Marty St. Louis at Rasputins in Burlington VT for a few years in college….. he’s one year ahead of me. Some of the few years UVM ever made the Frozen 4.

Is TB struggling so badly that they can’t afford to turn on all of the lights?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/13/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Kronwall is trying to get back to playoff form I see!

It does look dark in there, Gabe.
Malts with a shooting gallery, ridiculous…
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 07:44 PM ET
More minutes for the 4th line! Awesome job.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/13/08 at 07:44 PM ET
4th line pressure…i’m so confused.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 11/13/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Turnovers from Dats, Maltby with multiple shots on one shift…something’s not right.

1st recommended cure for a hangover: outlet passes. Not necessarily fancy. Just calm, on target, quick outlet passes.

Speaking of beer. BRB bitches.

You know she threw up after they filmed that Big Mac commercial.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/13/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Melrose needs to remember he’s not a “commentator” anymore. TB’s gm (Feaster?) must be happy like a puppy to hear his mulleted coach refer to Holland (or anyone else) as the “best gm in the league.”
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 11/13/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Holy Christ. I just caught a glimpse of Kronwall’s 55 and thought Keith Primeau. Weird.
