The polls are closed. And after 119 votes, I’ll admit it. I recorded the first one this morning and it went to Triumph. “Magic Power” is easily in the IwoCPO top ten. I’m also a big Guess Who fan and I even dig me some Neil Young when the time is right.
I can also tell you this: I’ve never listened to a second of a Tragically Hip song, I don’t think. But peer pressure’s a bitch so I stuck ‘em in there. It came down to the wire between Rush and Young, with a push from Ronnie Van Zant’s pal the last 90 minutes or so. The selected lyric? Well, that just fits.
Oh, and Subdivisions? Not the song we chose, obviously. But to set the record straight…“Conform or be cast out..” followed later by “be cool or be cast out.”
I’m just sayin’.
It’s a 3-man genius of a Provincial Live Blog bitches.
And if you’re without TV? Yahoo’s got it.

McCrimmon or howthehellever you spell it, needs to cut the mullet. It’s as 80’s as the Cans sweater and the lighting…LOL

We can’t afford to try to survive the last three minutes of this period and I really don’t want the Oilers going into the locker room on anything resembling a high note. Press that skate down on the neck, damnit!

Sitting on a 3 goal lead is like trying to sit in a tree stand for 5 hours when it’s 20 degrees and the damn wind is sailing from the north at 20 mph
The worst seasickness I’ve ever had was from such a scenario. It should say something about my intelligence that I didn’t climb down. Had I even seen a deer there was no way in hell I’d have even been able to steady my gun to shoot. Makes me queezy just thinking about it. Ugh.

The phone will be ringing again soon… Gary. Ass. Is pissed. Zeeeeeeeebra, do you want your job tomorrow?

Simpson says it was the hockey gods who caused that penalty. What a tool.

Yeah… it’s about that time.

Clem, it the g’damn cold and boredom that grinds on me… if I see a deer it’s all better in a hurry though. Then again it was 60 and sunny yesterday in the stand…. odd.

What’s the under/over on the Wings having to kill off a 5 on 3 during the 2nd period?
Posted by calquake on 11/20/08 at 09:44 PM ET
Simpson’s asking “How do you not blink?”
Looking at Ozzy’s gear during the pregame clips it looks like it’s double-thick along the arms, and I’m betting the chest too.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/20/08 at 09:45 PM ET
Geez…. nearly had a heart attack there.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 09:45 PM ET
Freaking Lils… what was that?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 09:45 PM ET
What a tool.
Look up tool in your Funk n Wagnall and you see his pic.

Holy sh*t Lilja. The Pylon can fight!

CokeandPepsi interview!

I much prefer 60 and sunny to 20 and snowing. That’s one part about hunting in MI that I don’t miss. At least down in SC it’s warm.
Lilja fighting. Eesh, I’ve got nothing.
Good period. Hopefully they can finish out the next 40 minutes.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/20/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Alright did I miss something? Didn’t Lilja rock Souray with a right then take him down?
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/20/08 at 09:48 PM ET
Let’s be fair, Alex. Anyone can fight but not everyone can fight well. Lils falls into the ‘doesn’t fight well’ category.

Knock on wood…

I think Mac and Downey need to start giving pugilism lessons.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/20/08 at 09:49 PM ET
Lilly did smack him one at the tail end actually. The best punch in the “fight”

Probie is still around…... might as well learn from the Master.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 09:51 PM ET
Lilja had a cut on his forehead and was bleeding.
You bleed, you lose. But it keeps Sourray off the ice for five minutes. Not a bad trade off.
Posted by Osrt on 11/20/08 at 09:52 PM ET
Lilja just did what he does best in that fight.
He grabbed him, blocked some shots, and went down at an inopportune time.

Not to mention Probert could probably use the money nowadays.

i wonder how well the Bruise Brothers book is selling. Heck, I bought three of them. One each for myself, my dad and my brother.

MIght wanna do it up says Mac…. tee hee… wreck him Mac

Not bad work by Trevor. Mac is breathing pretty heavily. Heh.

Good question. How’s the book?

Awesome.
And look at Tevor Thompson actually skate; that was pretty impressive.
Posted by Osrt on 11/20/08 at 09:57 PM ET
What’s scary about this little demo w. Mac and Trevor is that Mac isn’t really known for his puck handling and it looks like it’s on a string. Imagine how good Dats or Z must be.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/20/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Mac is breathing pretty heavily. Heh.
No $hit, panting like my dog
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 09:59 PM ET
Clem… I’ll let you know after I’ve read it. I’m waiting for them to arrive. I ordered ‘em as x-mas gifts. They’re supposed to be signed by both Kocur and Probie.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 10:00 PM ET

I wanna see footage of them playing keep away after practice….. some of the guys line up to be the next one to made look a fool!
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 10:01 PM ET
That’s pretty sweet, Jen! Seriously, I’d like to hear how it is. Might be a good gift for my dad and sister….
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/20/08 at 10:01 PM ET
Trev didn’t look half bad. I hope in the next segment we get to see Keating and Redmond battle it out in the corner over a bottle of Scotch.

Ray Lane can officiate.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 11/20/08 at 10:02 PM ET
Oh don’t be hating on Lils too much. Lils off the ice for 5 minutes… with Souray. Win/win
You guys talking hunting, has me freezing underneath this blanket.
Did you guys hear Mick give a shout out to all the hunters out there last game. Man I would love to have a few brews at deer camp with that guy. Oh the stories.

If you ever get to see any professional player messing around, it’s amazing. You’d swear they were all Hossa.
I thought I was a good stickhandler then saw a former pro messing around on an empty rink. I shat myself and went home stinky.

more interesting if it were Murph and Mick. Mick would probably “show hm a little lumber”
