Paul here, filling in for VooX who is filling in for IwoCPO.
VooX tells me I have been selected to do the live blog for superstitious reasons, so here I am.
Big game and VooX also tells me you demand some ‘Detroit Punk’.
So with that, here you go…
Almost live from Wayne State University, it is the MC5.
Also, I hear mules have a long memory, so expect our Mule to have a good game tonight.
One more thing… One of the reasons Iginla has not scored in the last 19 regular season games against Detroit-
Part of the credit for Iginla’s drought goes to D Nick Lidstrom, the elegant defender of the Wings.
“But that’s too long to not have a goal. I can’t tell you why,” said Iginla, “but obviously (Lidstrom) is part of that. I hope to change that.”

You’re 1st, silly!

Thanks for filling in, Paul.
This game gives me the playoff pre-game nerves. It is a biggie.
There is no way we can lose to Calgary tonight, and then put so much pressure on ourselves to win in Calgary in six days. A win tonight is about as close to a “must” as we’ve had all year.

Wow, I totally forgot about that cheap shot. I can’t believe it, I was totally enraged at the time.
Time to kicks some ass fellas.

I was able to hack Voox’s web cam. Here he is getting in touch with his inner emo girl. You can almost hear the dulcet tones of Morrissey. Black finger nail polish, too. He is really taking one for the team.

Holla, bitches. Anything funny that I may say tonight is hereby dedicated to AndrewFromAnnArbor. That being said, tonight we party.

Well, it doesn’t look like VooX has cracked open the Twilight yet, but when he decides to, this is all you need to know (spoiler alert!): a werewolf falls in love with a baby.
I have pre-game angst, but it doesn’t look anything like that.

Hey everyone.
I will have to put my kid to bed during the second period which could be horrifying or awesome. I’m on board the stress train already.
Good song choice tonight.

Paul - - in case you have forgotten - - is 2 for 2 on the EllBee. Taking one for the team with so much on the line tonight.
+19
BTW Bitches, as I climb into my ride, heading for the casa after my time at the mine; what comes on the radio?
Detroit Rock City(!) Gotta lose your mind. The hockey gods are with us, the worm has turned, the mojo is back - - fuch you Jobu.

So twilight is about robbing the cradle? I guess that makes it this generation’s Lolita.

So today I ordered HBO in prep for the premier of the Pacific. I’m overly excited. Oh yeah and I’m not going to be here for the LB. Instead I will be at the game. 2nd row. Telepathically wishing that Kipper from the Olympics (specifically) the one from the USA game shows up tonight 
Posted by Nati from school or work, either would apply on 03/09/10 at 06:40 PM ET

Lolita was more emotionally mature than the female lead in Twilight.

If you haven’t checked out the p-shop galleries at Puckdaddy for his Rosby golden roar contest, you should. There is one from the restaurant scene in When Harry Met Sally. Rosby is Meg Ryan and Lil’ Gary is Billy Crystal.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/09/10 at 06:42 PM ET
‘Sup bitches.
I don’t know where I was when Mule got chopped like that. When was that? That was brutal.
Just fuchin’ win.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Lidstrom's head telling him 1 more year on 03/09/10 at 06:44 PM ET
I’ll say I started the Paul for the LB thing, but won’t take any credit for success or failure. 
I’ll be coaching baseball practice for at least 12 boys all 8 years old, so I’ll be ready for a cold one by the time I hit play on the DVR.
GO WINGS.

Twilight: what happens when a vampire story is written by a Mormon woman for teenage girls.

What the hell is on the wall behind VooX? Self-portrait, in his “blue period?”

That’s his Japanese anime collection. Every emo kid has one.

WingsFanInBeanLand-
That was game 5 of the 2007 conference quarterfinals. The next game Mule scored in overtime to send the Flames golfing. Oh, memories.

Well, that’s just part of the plot of the fourth book. And he was in love with her mother first, but Mom was in love with a vampire who proceeded to plant his lifeless seed within her. But it’s OK, because he insisted on marrying her first!
If any of the protagonists in Nabokov’s Lolita were half this fauxed up, it would be called Maury.
I have to admit, though, everything I’ve learned about Twilight comes from my teenage cousins and various online parodies.
Posted by Lola from down by the bay on 03/09/10 at 06:50 PM ET
hey, gang.
Nothing witty to add tonight, too focused.
A “W” is needed in a bad way against the Lames.
So, let’s get done.

That esplains why I never saw it. It was in the time before I had cable and before I discovered the joys of illegal interwebz feeds.

No NBC or Versass coverage? What a shame.
Evenin’ bitches.
Posted by MarkK from Maryland on 03/09/10 at 06:55 PM ET
Aww, first game in as long as I can remember that I have to watch the Wings in standard def.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 03/09/10 at 06:56 PM ET
I’m streaming 97.1 online bitches. No whining about standard def.
Posted by monkey from here to Timbuktu on 03/09/10 at 06:58 PM ET
I thought I’d miss the start of the game - I was getting supplies for a little cheesy horrible monstrous project.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 03/09/10 at 06:59 PM ET
Okay JJ and Monkey, I won’t gloat that I am getting Ken and Mick in HD tonight, promise.

Thanks Paul. Superstition is part of the game, so it really does matter.
Besides, I think you kinda like being able to cheer once in a while. Thanks again.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Theres the wink, just for you Kate.

So Iginla admitted Lidstrom has been shutting him down and took upon himself the responsibility to do better. Interesting. Someone could learn from this.
Posted by monkey from here to Timbuktu on 03/09/10 at 07:01 PM ET
Baroque -
don’t let me forget to give you info on my 6 H2H name tags some time soon, K?

I just had two banner ads on the feed I’m trying to use. Top of the page: free HIV testing. Bottom of the page: Rick Warren’s Easter services at Anaheim Stadium.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/09/10 at 07:04 PM ET
“...Slol-lil-sil-solidify…”
Murph. Wasted? Yup.

Really weird Satan themed pre-game on 97.1

Thanks OKie. I’ve missed his wink. He quit the wink for a few games. Superstition?

Hot Dog the Undefeated Emperor would be a good band name.

I think Jamie McLennan is still technically suspended from that.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 03/09/10 at 07:09 PM ET
The next three goals are huge.
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/09/10 at 07:10 PM ET

Thanks for covering up an early bit of sloppiness for us, whichever Flame that was that just knocked the net off.
