Marty…We’re Not Kidding.  Put The “V” Away.

Dude.  You gave up like 11 goals to the Wings last week.  Enough is enough.

Put the V away.  And to all you transplants out west?  Good on ya.

Bob Duff

It also doesn’t hurt that many ex-patriot Michiganders make their homes in some of those opposing towns. “It helps,” Osgood said. “In San Jose, they don’t like us there and it’s the same in Dallas, but there’s a lot of (Wings) fans in Anaheim and L.A. and especially in Phoenix, which just makes it fun and enjoyable for us to play. We enjoy the support and we want to perform well, because they only get a chance to see us once or twice a year.”

It’s a Live Blog bitches.  On Versus.  Oh, the quality.

I’m willing to bet there are more Wings fans in Jobing.com Arena during Wings games.

Well, maybe not, but it sure seemed like a lot last time I went to a game.

I like picking on Marty too, given his record against us it’s an easy target.
Then again, we’re not exactly in position for picking on netminding.  But Oz does have a great record against Dallas…..
Cheers.

Possibly, Tyler.  The last game I saw there on television the cheers were definitely louder when Detroit did something than when Phoenix did.

God, I hate, hate, HATE versus with the white-hot intensity of a thousand stars.  And not those measly brown dwarf deals, either.  Wish it was possible to mute commentary and only hear the ambient noise.

Fabulous. I go find a feed, and bull riding is still on. Even on TSN.

Game’s at 8:00, hence the bulls.

If they go too long just shoot the buggers and make burgers out of them.  Burgers and hockey go great together, right?

Hiya Nate, Baroque and Orst (if & when he shows).... in the next 2-3 days max… I will send an e-mail confirming the details I about the Poultry Pilgrimadge (just made that up too, nice touch I think). I am awaiting a repsonse from one non 19’er & anyone else tonight that might speak up.
So…  anyone else? Feb 20th, Wings n Poultry at The Joe?

Not bull riding on the dish, Nate, but I’m not a big fan of The Contender, either.  Regardless, it’s puck time, bitches.  Hey Marty!  Show us your 5-hole!

Oh, I like that idea Mrs B. But do I have to wait?

Really, I was just hoping for some sort of pregame. I’d even take Poker over bullriding…well….maybe not.

Early contender for Versus quote of the night:

“Pavel Datsyuk hotter than the four corners of Hell right now”

The funny thing is he believes in Dante’s version of hell.  His still looking for the corner in the fifth circle.

Not only does hell have corners, but “Turco has to be the shiny penny and not the reserve stickboy.”

I don’t have a clue what that is even supposed to mean.

Concur.  And his consistent use of the oldest cliches in hockey make it even better.

It isn’t even the old cliches as it is making stuff up - like a bad case of verbal diarrhea.  I have never heard the word “shoulder” used so much as a verb.  Gah.
