And here we go.
Live Blog starts now. My commentary will go in the comment section along with all of yours. And, honestly, I tend to pace…so don’t expect too much from me. I’ve been home for almost two hours and have spent every minute in the Hasek Club Car.
Again: the keys. Power play. Taking the violence to Bubba instead of receiving. And, by god Dom…go frigging completely insane. Because we dig that.

Just checked the fridge: 6 Oberons, 3 Two Hearted Ales, and 2 Hopslams (in case things get bad)...all smuggled in from Kalamazoo. Michigan-brewed beer for me only, thank you very much.
I’m ready. Let’s do this.

Golf’s running long, and in it’s wisdom, TSN has decided to stick with the golf until the bitter end… over the NHL playoffs? Are you kidding me?
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 04/10/08 at 06:10 PM ET
Yeah but my freaking DishNetwork doesnt have the chrystal clear HD tonite—Golf instead. GOLF!!!

Drake, Draper, Samuelsson to start. interesting.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/10/08 at 06:10 PM ET
What the lawyer said. long shift led to that powerplay.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/10/08 at 06:14 PM ET
WooHoo—the even-up. Wings look like they are gripping the stick awfully tight!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/10/08 at 06:17 PM ET
Jeez that was a weak penalty…
Good.
Heya Chief, Jeff, all… hitting the tub, catch up in a bit.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/10/08 at 06:18 PM ET
Jeff, turn the golf channel on. It’s the game. I did the same thing. (At least on DirecTV)

Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/10/08 at 06:24 PM ET
Holy crap that was a fast shot by Sammy.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/10/08 at 06:27 PM ET
Holy Crapola Samuelsson, that was almost nifty.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 06:27 PM ET
HAHAHA!
Yes, GD DAMN I FEEL ALIVE!
Okay, I’m seriously getting in the damn tub, see you cats during itermission.
... WTF, Sammy hit the net?!?!
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/10/08 at 06:27 PM ET
Sammy hit the net—can’t remember the last time anyone said that!!!
DET has the best of the scoring chances, hell I dont know if Bubba even has one. But Bubba is spending alot of time in the DET zone.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/10/08 at 06:30 PM ET
Hell yeah.
Missed the first 20 of the game…long day.
Train looks full…I never got off in February.
GO WINGS!!!

Christ Almighty, are they interviewing Babs ON THE BENCH DURING THE GAME?!?!?!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 06:31 PM ET
DAMN Pavel—SHOOT the FREAKING PUCK!!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/10/08 at 06:33 PM ET
I didn’t think I’d like Franzen and Cleary on the same line, but so far I’m impressed. They’ve both come so far since the start of the season—especially Franzen.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 04/10/08 at 06:34 PM ET
Webber with a penalty to kill the PP. Expect to see much more of that.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/10/08 at 06:36 PM ET
Has Barry Trotz gained weight?
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 06:36 PM ET
Tootoo and McCarty…my vocabulary isn’t large enough to describe how badly I’d like to see them go tonite.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/10/08 at 06:40 PM ET
Ditto that thought Chief
Nice save by Hasek there.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/10/08 at 06:43 PM ET
Smithson with the charge and it’s the Wings shorthanded. So that’s how it’ll be.
Posted by Clark on 04/10/08 at 06:47 PM ET
And the ticker on Versus just informed me that someone called N. Lindstrom led all defencemen in points. You learn something every day.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 04/10/08 at 06:53 PM ET
Is Hasek winking, or is that the facial tic of a crazy person?
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 06:56 PM ET
Well that wasn’t so bad. The first period that is. Score helps a lot.
Anyone else notice a little into the first just before a faceoff when the PA was playing Paralyzer? “I hold on so nervously, to me and my drink, I wish it was cool in me, but so far has not been good.”
The guy that runs the PA must read this blog 
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/10/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Matt, I leave it to you to decide. 
By the way, does anyone else who caught Allanah’s post yesterday being plagued by images of Doogie Howser?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/10/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Is Douche Canoe doing the game for TSN? I could’ve sworn I saw that bald head at least twice in the 1st.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/10/08 at 06:59 PM ET
They need to get more in Ellis’ bubble. He looks just shaky enough that something other than long, unscreened shots may go in.
