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).

Now here’s the kick in the nuts… can we hold this lead?

The Mule is a fricking stud.

Franzen’s goal but WTF strikes again, tying up 3 TB’s.
Posted by calquake on 11/13/08 at 09:41 PM ET
I don’t know if I’d call that pretty, really. Fortunate, yes, but not really pretty.

I think Draper misses the net just as consistently as Sammy. He just gets 1/3 the shots.
Least he wins faceoffs alot…sometimes.
Both are high n dry as shooters tho.

Interference call on Homer coming up.

Oh no, everybody run! Godzirra mad!
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 11/13/08 at 09:43 PM ET
That was a beautiful play!
Gabe, I thought that was Kronner with the big hit in the first. Stu’s been riding people off the puck, but not rattling any bones.

I want to see Kolzig go Glen Sather on Koharski and offer him a doughnut. That would just make my night.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/13/08 at 09:44 PM ET
Philly still leading, 4-3.
Thanks.
Difference is that Draper isn’t on the second line. And he’s good defensively.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/13/08 at 09:45 PM ET
Ooh, Kronner almost made the IR again there on a hit from Prospal?
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 11/13/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Am I the only one hearing the whining abour Homer being such a crease crasher? JFC… shuddap.

It was, but I thought Stu had a good hit too. I might must be thinking of hte play where he tied up the guy on the breakaway. I blame the drink.

Kronner got punched in the back of the head there.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Ken Daniels is starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/13/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Ozzie had a brainfart there.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/13/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Ozzie looking for an assist? Shades of Hasek.

MO, some of the home-team announcers are better than others.. I’d put these clowns just below the Anaheim duo.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 09:48 PM ET
Do the refs know there’s only one more minute to get a 5-on-3 out of this?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/13/08 at 09:48 PM ET
Thanks JJ, Glad I’m not the only one. These guys are up there with Bubba or Darrel Reaugh or how the hell ever you spell it.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 09:49 PM ET
You must be confusing Ken with Mikkey. Ken is usually pretty grounded. I was just poking fun anyway. S’all good.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/13/08 at 09:49 PM ET
Deuce, I think we’re talking about different feeds. We’re getting the local Tampa Bay announcers and, while you expect the local FS guys to be homers, these guys are whining up a storm.
Of course I think Ken and Mickey are among the best in the league. I also have to say I’m pretty impressed with the guys in San Jose.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 09:52 PM ET
The league was too busy trying to get GBB a power play to worry about the Wings going down 5-on-3, Gabe.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/13/08 at 09:52 PM ET
The Tampa Bay guys were also complimenting Holmstrom with the remark that other teams should look to find someone who can emulate what he does.
Posted by monkey from here to Timbuktu on 11/13/08 at 09:52 PM ET
Deuce, I’m forced to listen to the TB commentary on center ice. I get about 50% Ken n Mick and 50% comentary from the other teams blabber mouths.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/13/08 at 09:53 PM ET
hi peeps! we are looking better tonight!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 11/13/08 at 09:54 PM ET

No way. The bald knob Drew Remenada is a putz.
Here goes…....

I honestly feel bad for you guys that don’t get to listen to Mikkey rant like a mad man about all the calls on a regular basis.
Oh what the hell was that?!?!?!?!

I’ll give ‘em that, Monkey. But it seems like they don’t have an appreciation for all that Homer does and how hard it is to be the guy standing right in the line of fire, getting pounded in front of the net, trying to deflect the puck.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 09:55 PM ET
OMG, I had to say it. I must leave now! Oh review!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 11/13/08 at 09:56 PM ET
Prospal kicked that in!
Cheating bastard!
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 11/13/08 at 09:56 PM ET
Well just look at the wife, calling the kick before I did.
But really…no one here is actually surprised by a one goal game with 5 left are you?
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 11/13/08 at 09:56 PM ET
Weak Oz, weak. Time for Conk to spell Ozy a few games.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 11/13/08 at 09:56 PM ET
Remenda’s kind of a tool, but I don’t think he’s an idiot.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/13/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Mick, breaking out the fractions. Heh.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/13/08 at 09:58 PM ET
That’s not a goal, says me I says
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 11/13/08 at 09:58 PM ET
Should Not be a goal but…. you know how things have been going.
