Game Day Odds And Ends

At some point today, maybe…if time and certain mental issues permit…I think we should discuss how more than a decade of worrying about playoff goaltending has affected us all.  Like 34.7 (and sooner or later I have a theory I’d like to share with you about that), I think Chevaldae, Vernon, Osgood, Hasek, Joseph, Hasek, Legace, Hasek and Osgood have caused a community-wide emotional deterioration.

But now is not the time.

Now is not the time to ask me to string multiples together.  I can’t.  All I have right now are short bursts of insanity.  I’ll share them with you because you care.

—If Niklas Kronwall were to lay somebody out tonite, someone with a Spanish name, and I mean lay the frigging wood to him?  That would be awesome.  “Rafi” is a bitch name anyway.  I mean, I wouldn’t say that to his face probably, but it still is.  Anway, Jr.?  First ten minutes for that please. 

—So.  Will we see Jason Williams on the point during a BJ power play tonite?  I’m thinking not.  But we really had some fun with that for a while in Hockeytown didn’t we?

—DC 101’s Elliot in the Morning is a big Caps fan. But he’s kidding himself when he says this, “Theodore’s fine.  I’m not worried about him at all.”  Our boy 3 or 4 gave up the latter on less than twenty shots last night.  And it’s not even the second round yet. 

Take note of this Wing fans, or hockey fans in general.  An edict from Voox, our bartender.

“Stress, paranoia, and animal sacrifices are on the rise, the playoffs have arrived for Wings fans.

As it is the post season, I need your help to spread the word about the 2nd Annual Douche Canoe ticket contest.

If anyone can get a sign on TV behind Pierre McGuire’s head with his name “Pierre” or “McGuire” and the words “Douche Canoe” on the sign during the playoffs, they will win two free Leafs tickets to a game next season.

People interested in winning the tickets should email me on advance to let me know of their attempt and to provide details of what their sign looks like.

—I’ve seen nothing on the status of Marian Hossa’s groin injury. I mean, I know he’s “recovering.”  But has anyone seen something more than that?  Is that important? I guess not.

—If the Wings win 12, Pavel Datsyuk is your Conn Smythe winner. And that starts tonite.  It’s what we need and it’s who we need to lead this team right now. 

—Naturally, we’re doing a Live Blog tonite.  And I’ll tell you right now that nothing makes me feel warmer than “Night Moves.”  So I’m starting with that.  I have a good feeling about it.  Do you remember the Game 1, Round 1 LB from last year?  Probably not, only 161 comments…and a lot of them included exclamation points.  Interesting.  For the sake of reference?  1025 comments for Game 6 on June 4th. 

This made me happy this morning. I thought I’d share.  Be back later with some keys to a Game 1 victory.
