LB: I Know A Change Has Come

Following a solid effort against Los Tiberones, the tide may have begun to turn for the Red Wings.

Then again, it may not.  Kronwall is out again.  Apparently Jobu is still alive.

Four unanswered goals is a refreshing change.  A comeback with a solid effort for 50 minutes of shut-down hockey.

Is Puck Possession hockey beginning to return to Detroit?  Or can the team only only rise up to the challenge against tough teams, losing easy points against easy teams?

Well, I’m no pharmacist, but I’m also not a pessimist.  This is my team, and I will stand by them until my last breath.

We are facing our bitter rivals, the *ucks.  Albeit neutered without the knuckle-dragging neanderthal, Chris Pronger, the *ucks are no ordinary rivals.  And our song for the evening is no ordinary song.

I’ve decided to reach into the annals of soul music to find a piece of optimism.  Beautiful, sweet optimism.  A reminder that although things have not been what we would have liked so far, never, never, never, never give up.

I believe last night’s effort was a collective effort between all 18 players (17 in the third period, Fuch you Jobu) and our coaching staff.  The team was hungry and tenacious checking deep into the opponent’s zone.  Something absent for far too long.

I believe the Wings are turning a corner.  And I refuse to let negativity enter my mind tonight as we face the *ucks.

I’d like to see two convincing victories back-to-back for the first time in a long time.  And I know I’m not the only one.

A quick H2H update.  Our ticket block is now SOLD OUT, bitches, simply amazing stuff.

From Jennyquarx, one of the 19’s resident Super Grrrls:

I have no more tickets left.  People can get them through Ryan Michaels at the DRW ticket office - his number is on the H2H website.  If people are NOT going and have RSVPed, they need to let me know ASAP.  IF people are going and have not paid, they need to do that by 2/21/10 or their tickets will be released back in to the general pool.  People can STILL get them through Ryan after that for the same price, but I can’t be left hanging for money and I need to pay Ryan.  So please let the 19 know this. 

The Hockeytown Cafe money needs to get paid to me too.  The sooner the better.

The hotel rate for our block of rooms is only good until 2/23 so if people need that, they need to email me ASAP and take care of this.

Please have people check the website often.  We have some kick ass stuff for the prize drawing, stuff that is not listed yet but will be soon (that we just got confirmation for) that you all will FREAK OUT over.  So please check often, tell your friends, tell the world.
 
If you can’t help with money, help by spreading the word:

Please pay for your ticket and Hockeytown Cafe deposit (if coming) as soon as possible, if you haven’t already:

Leave your pessimism at the door, Red Wings faithful only tonight.  And the faithful know there is always hope.

It’s a Live Blog, bitches.  I hope you’ve rested for another Left Coast game in the town that Disney built.

No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature.  Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
