I Went To Church Incognito. Why? For The Live Blog.

Oh yes he did. The Chief whipped out a Vincent Furnier lyric for a live blog. That, in itself, should indicate just how important I (back to the first person, thanks) feel tonite’s game is.
Why is it important?
Because I have to invent reasons to stay up for the late, late games.
Don’t know Vince? Oh alright. Alice Cooper. And he’s from Hockeytown bitches.
It’s a Live Blog and your objectivity, tact and mild manners are more than welcome.
A couple of insider notes from Mike Chen at Battle of California:
-Joe Thornton’s groin injury seems more obvious with each game. He simply doesn’t use his legs or lower body to protect the puck the way that he normally does, and assuming he didn’t just revert into a craptacular player over the off-season, I’m assuming this is the lingering effects of his injury.
-For all you King fans…um…well, I see what you were complaining about with Rob Blake.

Ice time is he ultimate motivator. Uncle Mike needs to start using it more.
Open the dog house door and kick someone’s ass in it and leave em for a day or 2

.but I only have six cubes left. That’s like…2 drinks.
Two great tragedies that can occur at sea…
1. your boat sinks
2. you run outta ice.
Ration Gabe, ration.

Conklin is giving up way too many big rebounds for my liking.
Security code: trial 43. DAMN RIGHT! I want friggin Helm up here for a “trial run.” He could provide some jump.

Whew, started out downhill and way below sea level now!

Joe,
Scotty would gone through the night before and paid some thugs to be awating the drop off the next night. Mastermind and all…

Did I mention I hate the west coast? I’m out.
Win one tonite huh?

I thought he did that to Maltby and that’s why Kopy is playing much better?
Still. He may need to do just that to one of the top four D. I’m tired of giving up thirty or more shots a game.

Alright bitches. I’m DVR’ing the third and watching it in the AM. Early
See you guys at the next LB
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 10/30/08 at 11:09 PM ET
Sleep well, Chief—I’m not sure I can after watching this.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:11 PM ET
Roger Chief. 8 bells, or whatever.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:11 PM ET
That was my hint that I dont think Malts got the message…. we need to be able to bring up one of the kids and the damn cap doesn’t allow.
And we need to make room when Cheli needs to come off the shelf. Soon?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:11 PM ET
I’m staying up for the comeback.
besides I can’t give up on Drew R. ....
Reminds of a cue ball once hit with a stick.
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 10/30/08 at 11:12 PM ET
I’m trying to bear with it, depends on the start of the third and the tempo… the whistles…. ya know
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:12 PM ET
What’s the temperature up in Freaking Alberta now? It’s nearly freezing in Virginia the last 2 nights.
Alberta, filming location of one of my favorite movies, Mystery Alaska.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:13 PM ET
I see Drew’s head as a cue ball.. I’d hit it with a stick.
Just sayin’

I wanna believe too, but their legs look rubbery and the passes are lazy.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:14 PM ET
We’ve been getting blasts of cold Arctic air for the past four days, freezing rain too. Colder than a welldigger’s ass, and it’s only October.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:16 PM ET
Wings look like a team playing their 6th game in 9 nights, with 5 on the road.
I’ll watch the 3rd because they only have 1 game in the next 8 days. Who sets the damn schedule anyway?
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 10/30/08 at 11:17 PM ET
Drew with no Clue….
Too many years in the Bay area listening to the little ..... &*^%3
Sharks….they never should have left the Cow Palace.

I’m from Vermont, it was always cold as a well digger’s knee there? Funny thing that regional vernacular….
Witches tit in a brass bra?
Freeze the nuts off a brass monkey?
Tit bit nipple?
All in the Vermont vernacular

Damn, not far from the home of the Fightin’ Vandermeer Brothers.

DIdn’t McSorley run his gums for them too for a bit? I swear it was….
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:23 PM ET
umm….I’m not looking forward to this period. Gotta keep drinking.
Posted by Osrt on 10/30/08 at 11:24 PM ET
Bad Metallica playing there for a second, but still Metallica.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:24 PM ET
Yeah RWBill, it’s been pretty ncie the past few nights. But, the big thing about this place, the weasther can turn on a dime. there could be a foot of snow out there for all I know lol.
alright guys, let’s play some Red wings hocvkey against Red Wings Jr.

I dunno, MO, I got it from a Tom Waits song. I’m from Michigan. We don’t say it’s ‘cold,’ we say it’s a ‘temperate summer.’
I’d heard the brass monkey one before, but to a kid who grew up with the Beastie Boys (and Mad Dog 20/20…er, Brass Monkey), it just sounds a bit weird.
We still gotta chance here, but have to PLAY!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:26 PM ET
Just got back from servicing the wife during intermission….. that’s right bitches…. I did the dishes for her. Let’s play some friggin’ hockey!
Posted by calquake on 10/30/08 at 11:27 PM ET
Damn, Conklin is the best player on the ice tonight.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:28 PM ET
Oh shit…Nick had just enough to keep moving with Thornton…he looked gassed, and got hit for it.
More turpentine.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:28 PM ET
Damn these announcers are like last night in Anaheim, they must be getting paid by the word. Talk fast and non-stop.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:29 PM ET
If you ever go to the Fish Bowl, find Henry’s Hi Life right near by… neat old dump. Full of puckheads for pregame beer. Elbow to elbow… just sayin
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:30 PM ET
You know it, MO. To a little Jewish kid, seeing that those guys could be cool enough to keep a side of beef in for a month, well…my heroes.
Wherever we go we bring the Monkey with us…
Speaking of which…where is Monkey tonight?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:32 PM ET
Babs finally got the message, William Tell is no longer on the second line, Fils is there.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 10/30/08 at 11:33 PM ET
Fark. This is oogly
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago...nope, still not over it. on 10/30/08 at 11:34 PM ET
Shit. Game is slipping away from us.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:35 PM ET
That’s it.
I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but San Jose is the team to beat this year.
Until the Wings prove otherwise.
Night bitches.
Posted by Osrt on 10/30/08 at 11:35 PM ET
how can our D not know someone is coming back door? WE DO THAT!!!
I’m getting migraines watching this.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 10/30/08 at 11:35 PM ET
Game is slipping away from us.
That implies that we had a grip on the game at some point before this.
Posted by Sadie from Ann Arbor, MI on 10/30/08 at 11:36 PM ET
Well in December at home we get them on their 3rd game in 4 nights. Will we look faster and fresher than them?
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 10/30/08 at 11:37 PM ET
Well, at least now they’re playing KISS on the PA…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:38 PM ET
hossa has to be thinking “this is the team that shut us down last year?”
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 10/30/08 at 11:38 PM ET
It’s not the end of the world…. it’s a lesson learned during the season. They will learn…. Uncle Mike will make sure of it. In Wings We Trust.
Posted by calquake on 10/30/08 at 11:39 PM ET
Where’s the extra 2 on Murray? The announcers just said he clotheslined a Red Wing. Last time I checked, that’s roughing.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 10/30/08 at 11:39 PM ET
Wings look like Rocky in the first Clubber Lang fight. Luckily, the movie isn’t over yet. They need Drake to come out of retirement and challenge guys to races on the beach, then we’ll kill those bastards! Hopefully a coach doesn’t die in the process.
