I guess it goes without saying that should the Wings take a 2-0 lead? You can start thinking about the lame excuses you’ll use to get out of work for the parade. Pens win? Little Gary rejoices and we’ve got ourselves a series.
Reminder: Predict the game’s first scorer in the comments. First one to get it right gets a program from Game 1.
Name the song without looking it up and you get…well, nothing really. But you’ll be cool.

Lucky S.O.(B).‘s with the CBC feed. Twist the knife a little more why don’t ya!

RB, yep, should be a great show…one of those I’ve been waiting 20 years for…but if the Wings don’t pull off a win tonight, my mind’s going to be somewhere else entirely.

Gather ‘round, kids. It’s time to start today’s lesson on puck possession.
And Draper for first goal.
No reason why.

Malkin claims he’s tired? I think he’s been gunshy since the Philly series. He was absolutely punished.

Thank the Hockey Gods, this is VS last game—then to NBC—
Wait, Doc and Bozo on NBC too! Damn it to Hell!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:05 PM ET
Sid to score first (hope I am wrong)
Posted by reddog on 05/26/08 at 07:05 PM ET
CBC has Franzen on the second line and Hudler on the fourth with Helm.
Anyone’s guess how long that holds up. Probably depends almost entirely on how Franzen is feeling.

Enjoy the slaughter, bitches - I’m off to soak in the tub and swill PBRs.

Gutsy call by Babs throwing Mule right into the Fire.
Mule’s damn fine defensively though.
Hudler and Helm could make some noise.

Re: Malkin:
Translated later as more emotionally tired than physically tired. His English is not good right now in public, and he’s being relied upon so much with this team.
Oh, Don Cherry - lime green isn’t your color!
Talk as much as you want about how much “fire” is in Roberts’ eyes for the Penguins - they showed a shot of Lidstrom in the dressing room and he looked like he was trying to stare a hole through a cinder block wall.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/26/08 at 07:11 PM ET
Does anybody know what’s the name of the song played when the players come onto the ice/just before the starting six announcement?
Posted by Robert on 05/26/08 at 07:12 PM ET
Did you guys know the Pens lost the first game? I have no idea who won, but the Pens definitely lost. They played way below their capabilities apparently….I wonder how that ahappenned….
you know why Gretzky is the last one in that NHL commercial? Cause the Next One is supposed to get this one…
Posted by Osrt on 05/26/08 at 07:12 PM ET
Finally, they’re going to start showing the anthem?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:13 PM ET
VS showing some class, showing the might fine Ms. Newman sing the Natl. Anthem!
Bout time VS. did something right!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:13 PM ET
Gotta lose your mind in DEEE-troit Rock City!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:14 PM ET
Excellent—NASN has the CBC feed.
Karen Newman. Smokin’ hot. Just statin’ the obvious…
And I can’t believe nobody’s taken Zetterberg for first goal! I’m taking him, now.
Confirmation word ‘29military.’ Take a second, guys, and think about why we’re able to watch hockey in security tonight.

I don’t think I should pick who should get first goal. Last time it worked out better when I started insulting Sammy and then he scored HUGE. So I need another Wing to be a little tough on and then we’ll see. Maybe Malts?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:17 PM ET
the “holding the stick” rule needs to be updated to include the fact that you can hold it with more than just your hand.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Was that Hank in the way of the empty net?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Boy, the Joe sounds LOUD tonight, eh?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Buckets with a laser and Stuie driving the net
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:19 PM ET
Kronner with big hit at one blue line, gets back to make a great break out pass at the other.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 07:19 PM ET
on Datsyuk learning how to play the body…it probably makes him better able to understand the checking game so he can avoid checks, see them coming, and know when he’s vulnerable. he is becoming a forceful power forward.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:20 PM ET
“Looks to me Doc like he left his feet when he made that hit.” Poor Edzo.

Yeah, apparently they would have been beating by LA the way they were playing.
And the Wings don’t get a penalty going their way. Typical.
Kronner levels a waddling flightless bird. Also typical.
And Buzz, thanks for the Waits lyrics. I was almost there…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Filppula was already said but I’ll take him for the first goal anyway
Posted by C3091 on 05/26/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Wow Kronner!
Wings definitely using the boards to get out of the zone. Pens haven’t tried much of them long passes from their own zone either. Adjustments all around.

Lidstrom
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:21 PM ET
Of course they showed the anthem - they took one look at Karen Newman’s blouse, reeled in their tongues, and put that on the screen pronto.
Rip on Draper. He almost had a goal with the double-crossbar last game - he needs to do better than that! 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/26/08 at 07:21 PM ET
Ha, CBC says Kronner broke Malone’s nose on one of the blue line hits from Saturday.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/26/08 at 07:22 PM ET
Man, I would love to see Homer get a really great goal tonight. One that he could thumb his nose up at the officials.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:22 PM ET
Osgood needs to stop throwing the puck around the boards. the puck almost always ends up on the other team’s stick. he usually would have been better just letting his teammate nearby have it.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:23 PM ET
Agreed Paul, just park the damn thing and wait for the “D”
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/26/08 at 07:24 PM ET
Hey everyone!
Goddamn does Dallas Drake look like he’shaving the time of his life out there, or what?
He’s become one of my favourite parts of this team. He’ll score another big goal at some point in this series, I think.
Posted by Jayo from Toronto on 05/26/08 at 07:25 PM ET
I stand corrected—Voox got him.
I’ll take Lilja. Yeah, you read that right. He sucks.

I was thinking about my boy Drapes and almost picked him but then again he did get a goal off his face in the last Dallas game, so I thought I’d take it a little easy on him since he is playing his ass off. Malts could step it up and put one in though.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:25 PM ET
6 minutes played.
shots 5-0 for the wings
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/26/08 at 07:25 PM ET
Sids line can’t even get across the blue line.
