Prayers and thoughts indeed.
Big game tonight.

Bad news like this makes the game seem so insignificant. Sincere condolences to all at Ft. Hood.

Thoughts and prayers with those who lost people in Ft. Hood..

Agreed!

Yeah, Linda’s, time to forget the differences and hope for the best.
But you’re still a douche.
In unrelated news, great song choice, it’ll play in my wedding.

If we can somehow trick the Farks into thinking its the playoffs they will immediately implode and we should be fine

Sad, sad day in Ft Knox.
Very depressing news.
Professional sports is so insignificant
when forced to ponder mortality.
Entire families, and their survivors….
Broken forever…...

Exactly. 19 family members gather for a three hour get together and you hope for a maximum of four arguments? Are you on drugs?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 11/05/09 at 06:46 PM ET
My god….. i didn’t hear about that until just now. My thoughts and prayers definitely go out to the families on Ft. Hood. What a horrible tragedy. I’m just stunned.
I’m curious to see if Todd will bring a heavy forcheck against the wings tonight. The Calgary game was the only game this year with a heavy opposing forcheck that the wings responded well to and had an answer for. The last game was good but Boston seemed back on their heels and tried to force the play over the blue line instead of a heavy dump and chase, which is out of character for their team. I guess i just want to see if the wings are truly committed to playing as a tight five man unit instead of breakouts with 60 foot passes(which you never saw in 07-08). Anyway too much rambling…
Lets go Wings

How’s our defense, Sony and Raf are back?
Posted by Guilherme from Brazsil on 11/05/09 at 06:56 PM ET
When I read earlier stories, there were only 7 dead and there were 2 shooters. Now there are 12 dead and I do not see any reference at all to a 2nd shooter. The guy was a psychiatrist. A freaking medical doctor. Unfuchingly believeable. And a Muslim.

That sounds like a challenge to me.
Emilio is gay and the Mighty Ducks was the dumbest movie ever.

too bad Janik is back in GR. I’d rather see him in the sixth spot over Lebda. Hurry back Lilia..(?)

OK, Emilio is not gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

You sir, have gone too far. If I had a glove, I would slap you with it.

No LB for me again thanks to baseball practice but it’s the last of the calendar year.
The theme tonight was “our song” with the highschool sweetheart no less….

At least you’re doing Zep lyrics and not that lame arse Bob Seger crap.

Heavy hearted Evenin’ Bitches.
This will be one escape we have from the unimaginable horror of the families whose soldier husbands and wives were gunned down today preparing to deploy for war zones overseas. I was at Ft Hood for 2 weeks as a cadet. I won’t tell you when as it would reveal my age, but stress and AWOL were a problem then. More than 500 soldiers from Ft. Hood have been KIA in Iraq and Afghanistan.
My thoughts will be with you folks there in Ft Hood and Killeen and Copperas Cove but I am going to take the coward’s way out and watch my hockey team as if nothing has happened.

Doesn’t he always? Every night it’s “The Wings didn’t do this, the Wings didn’t do that.” I swear I won’t be surprised when he starts checking their gig lines.

Evenin’ folks. Game streams on Yahoo tonite in about 15 minutes. This link should do the trick.

Backcock? Is that a Borat reference?

I don’t really know, but it might have been a blend of back checking, Babcock, and peyote.

As I walk the halls of the VA medical center here in Baltimore, I always wish there were more that I could do to help those veterans. Knowing that there will be ten less veterans weighs heavily on my heart.
One thing is clear. Those who have served are better than the rest of us.

Any idea who’s doing the play-by-play?
