LB: Somebody Gotta Save Our Season

This is going to be one of those statement games.
The last time the Wings won against Junior, Jobu tore the Mule’s knee to shreds. Needless to say, the Wings are looking to avenge both Jobu and the Hawks for having their way with us this season.
Although I still haven’t watched the game against Bubba on the DVR, from reading the last LB it was a barnburner. According to Khan(!), Helm even had his first two goal game. Thanks to RWBill for pointing that one out. And for pointing out the the Chief Deep Digger is a complete idiot. We all know that Helm had another two-goal game, and RWBill even went so far to point it out at mLive. Khan(!) being the Deep Digger extraordinaire that he is promptly corrected his article and deleted Bill’s comment with no mention of the revision.
Never one to fact check, I will say that Khan(!) is a pole smoker who only uses his access to the Red Wings locker room to get free bottles of Gatorade and to catch glimpses of Chris Osgood naked. He obviously doesn’t take his job seriously or he would actually try and do it properly. If any one of us brought that level of professionalism to our jobs, we would be fired immediately and wind up begging for change on the street.
You know the old saying about giving a million monkeys a million typewriters and a million years, they would write the works of Shakespeare? Well give nineteen monkeys with frontal lobotomies nineteen typewriters and nineteen minutes, they would better the work of all the Deep Diggers. Us Wings fans are in a lot of trouble now that Cousin Bruce MacLeod is no longer covering the Wings. At least we still have Malik kicking some ass and taking names.
And the Hawks are in trouble this afternoon as our Wings are ready for some payback. Patrick Kane better hide his mouth guard as Franzen is back.
The question remains which Red Wings squad will turn up. Will it be the team that faced Bubba and sent them home crying to their wives/cousins? Or will it be the team that laid a giant turd against the Canucks?
I believe that they will come out this afternoon to play up to their potential. We know that the Wings won’t catch Junior in the standings, but they want to send the message that we will end their season if we face in the playoffs. This game is crucial to send a message around the NHL. The Red Wings are back and they mean business.
In the upcoming month, the majority of the games are at home. The Wings better take advantage. I am refusing to acknowledge otherwise. Call it denial or optimism, but I am staying positive. Until we lay the next giant turd, then all bets are off.
For now, I will succumb to superstition. Iggy and his Stooges will be playing on the stage in the Hasek Club Car once again, hoping to inspire the Red Wings to search and destroy Junior. Take their candy (and mouth guards) to leave them crying in their carriages.
The push for the playoffs has already begun in earnest. It is time for the Wings to get separation from the peloton of suck.
We won’t judge you aboard the Stress Train if you are hitting the hard liquor early today. Big games call for big drinks. All hard liquor is free today, so order a double and start the festivities.
Iggy says, “Somebody gotta save our season”. I’m saying the Mule will get the curly fries today to say fuch you, Junior, and fuch you, Jobu.
Let’s Go Red Wings!!!!!

I’d be happy to light him on fire.

Come on baby, lite his fire, or as you prefer, lite him on fire. Either way he’ll be on fire. It’s a win win.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

I am risking grievous bodily harm by ignoring the wishes of the woman and watching this game rather than organizing the garage.
And no, I can’t do both at once.
* Also, booked a smoking room at the Doubletree if any H2H attendees are still dense enough (like me) to smoke - cards, lukewarm PBRs and merriment.

I haven’t turned on my TV yet, but I am praying to get non-Douche Canoe coverage of this game. I am tired of his Wind-Aided bullshit.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 03/07/10 at 12:22 PM ET
I get to miss the first part of the game, 1st Baptist Church is on the tubes until 1:00 et.
Counting on you guys for detailed analysis - - (!)

I hate these afternoon games. But apparently the players love them. Here’s to hoping that the good Wings show up today.
LGRW Bitches.

The only thing Wind-Aided is the Douches’ mouth. I say the Wings win in spite of Eddie O and the Cruisers.

left-handed cigarettes.

Um, not today - - NBC here has church - - instead of the game. I’m kinda upset by that - - I’m pretty sure that isn’t too good.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 03/07/10 at 12:29 PM ET
Time to make that statement.
Got ‘em prepared , Uncle Mike?
Is everyone gonna play “acceptable” hockey?

Uncle Mike, on the Ticket: This is a big game for us. A great measuring stick. We got a good team, we gotta show it.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 03/07/10 at 12:31 PM ET
Oh JFC, here we go Thid again . . . .
Posted by Trish from PalmBeachCntyFL on 03/07/10 at 12:31 PM ET
I *#$%@& hate NBC. Why cant I get this in HD? Anyone else having that issue?
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 03/07/10 at 12:32 PM ET
Has anyone heard any updates from the Chief?
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 03/07/10 at 12:29 PM ET
Yes. Something aboot a Steele Deck Beach jig.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 03/07/10 at 12:32 PM ET
Sure hope that this game doesn’t go to OT, or we’ll all be watching golf.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 03/07/10 at 12:32 PM ET
Are you effing me, we have to sit through more nbc blowing Crosby? We’re not even playing the freaking Pens!

Sweet, I wake up, turn on the NAMBLA network, and sure enough, first thing I get is talk about the Yambag Hammer from a Golf commentator.
I hate you NBC.

Oh good, the crack squad at NBC is in charge

I know, I just wanted a chance for my annual usage of the phrase “Left handed cigarette”.
Wait, that’s twice this year… a new record.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 03/07/10 at 12:36 PM ET
Buckle up for the Rosby Express on NBC. And remember today’s safeword is “no touch icing”. Make a man wanna holler…. and vomit.
Posted by calquake on 03/07/10 at 12:36 PM ET
Jeebus, cue Rosby again!

At least CHI gets the Natl. Anthem right.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 03/07/10 at 12:36 PM ET
Ugh, NBC. With Emerick. Puke. Prediction, Crosby is mentioned at least 10 times today, maybe even with an intermission report dedicated to him.
Posted by Bent from The U.P. on 03/07/10 at 12:37 PM ET
The replay of the Parise goal still makes me giddy.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 03/07/10 at 12:37 PM ET
Great. Edzo calling a Chickenhawk game. Prepare for no bias showing from him.
Fuch NBC.

Capt Norris that’s great! Love Roenick’s face on the glass. Outside the Jacketorium looking in.
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 03/07/10 at 12:38 PM ET
Douche Canoe to start the broadcast. Awesome. I love Doc though, he doesnt deserve to be stuck with dumb and dumber.
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 03/07/10 at 12:38 PM ET
Pavel’s line getting the CHI top “D” pair - -
could use some tertiary scoring today.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 03/07/10 at 12:38 PM ET
Is there anyone out there that doesn’t hate the questions asked of the players and coaches? I submit that there is not.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 03/07/10 at 12:38 PM ET
And CaptNorris with the winner.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 03/07/10 at 12:36 PM ET
No question.

Call me cocky but I’m happy to see Huet in net for Chicago.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 03/07/10 at 12:39 PM ET
Rosby mention… check
Olympic mention… check
Lively endboards mention… check
All within the first minute of gametime. These NBC douche bags are so predictable.

I guess it’s better than asking them what they think about healthcare.
Posted by calquake on 03/07/10 at 12:40 PM ET
So Douche Canoe is pinning the Red Wings playoff chances on a single game.
Pretty dumb-sounding, isn’t it?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 03/07/10 at 12:41 PM ET
I really wish some team would pick up the canoe as a GM, like was mentioned last year. He’s fuching terrible.
