Yep. Back to Seger. Back to what we know, what we’re comfortable with. What brings Tick Tock that similar level of comfort, that warmth? Well, naturally…Chris Osgood.
“We won the Stanley Cup with him, so he always had the inside track,” Holland said. “It’s been an inconsistent year for our team, and an inconsistent year for Chris Osgood. However, in the last month I think his game is where we need it to be heading into the playoffs.”
Holland’s lying, of course. Osgood’s game is not “where we need it to be”. It’s just not. We’ve seen flashes of goodness (it’s never greatness with Osgood. Sorry, but it’s not.), but nothing so consistent that Holland views goaltending as a non-issue.
Whatever. Nothing we can do about it now. It’s live and die with Ozzie bitches. And it’s a Live Blog. Hopefully the 16 people with cable in Tennessee who are actually watching the game tonite shoot their sets out of frustration following a convincing reminder that Daddy’s serious.

Back to Seger, appropriate after the Wild West post.
How’s the swagger Chief?

16 is a little generous Chief. Unless they all live in the same house.

working on one for the pinky
I don’t know man. I’m thinking, at this point, it’s one for the middle finger.

I can’t liveblog tonight because I have derby practice. So I’m trying to set the Tivo but there’s only one feed. Does anybody know what feed they’ll be using? I’ll shoot myself if I have to listen to the Bubba feed.

Should be FSD for the home game, Jen.
SHOULD. If not, there’s a small pet or 2 that are going to encounter a premature final judgement.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 04/09/09 at 06:14 PM ET
J.J. - problem is I’m in Cinci so sometimes they give us the Fox Sports South feed. UGHHHHHH.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/09/09 at 06:14 PM ET
Well, I set the tivo. We’ll see what happens. If I hear one second of Bubba when I replay it later, I may have to hurt somebody. Have a good live blog 19!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/09/09 at 06:16 PM ET
I’m praying for your sake that they give you the Detroit feed. 90% of the time, we get whatever’s coming out of St. Louis and on rare occasions, they’ll give us a Dallas or *shudder* Colorado feed.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/09/09 at 06:16 PM ET
Go Wings! Dangle with 3 points tonight!

Hola Bitches, 50 mph winds and wildfires galore in the Hades known as OKLA today = kinda friggin scarry
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/09/09 at 06:17 PM ET
Why do I feel like I’ve read that same exact post before?
Well, a win tonight has a pretty good chance of being a great win, considering the Predators situation. They always play hard and will be desperate tonight…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 04/09/09 at 06:17 PM ET
I’ll also be missing the LB, but I’m hoping I actually get to make use of the full-game archive that I got for paying for NHL Gamecenter Live. Ever since I found out about this archive, the Wings have lost every time I have to work during a game.
Because come on, who wants to watch their favourite team lose? Especially after they get home from a long day at work. I want to use this, so come on Big Red Machine, get it done!
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 04/09/09 at 06:18 PM ET
If he can maintain his Top-10 positioning through tonight’s game against Nashville and a pair of weekend contests with Chicago, the Wings will be the first team to have three players (Nick Lidstrom, Brian Rafalski) in the top 10 in scoring amongst blue-liners since the 1974-75 Montreal Canadiens’ trio of Serge Savard, Larry Robinson and Guy Lapointe.
Nice work by the Diggers, eh?

Thanks Jeff, I had not realized that. Good thing we’re associated with some Canadian writers.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 04/09/09 at 06:19 PM ET
Well, what the hell…..if it’s good enough for Holland, it’s good enough for me.
Pass the Kool-Aid.
If it’s all the same to you guys, I’ll be mixing some rum in mine for the next little bit.
You know, just until the Kool-Aid kicks in.
Posted by dougie on 04/09/09 at 06:19 PM ET
Evenin’, 19.
Keep the hose handy Jeff - and no, that’s not a euphemism.
I don’t think.
Anyway, a lengthy pre-playoff motivational vid. inbound…

Hellloooooo Bitchesszzzzzzz!!
Will the SEASONWREAKERS show up again tonight after Terminating the Wild and the Sabres?
Tall order, and I can’t believe that psychotic Me is saying this, but having hurdled the 50 win plateau for the 4th straight season I’m just fine with no one getting injured between now and Sunday even if we lose all three… Say Whattttt???
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 04/09/09 at 06:22 PM ET

My email from IN DEMAND says the feed is Fox Sports Detroit, but they’ve been wrong before.

Pull yourself together - not just a just a line to start off a circle-jerk, but damn good advice.

Mike Babcock, talking about Ericsson’s performance: “Well, it was good, but he’s got the bad hand. He wasn’t able to do what he normally does, because he would do it with the other hand.” 2:15
I think that’s funny, anyways.

Hey Mo, TD, Bill = its a great day to be a Red Wing fan, eh; well except for the friggin gale force wind
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 04/09/09 at 06:26 PM ET
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. 
Here’s hoping for a nice win - or failing that, a competitive, well-played loss with no injuries.

Hello bitches. Silver lining: if the Wings lose, the stress level in St. Lose rises by a factor of 19.

I’m really jacked, I have a 22 oz. Lagunitas Maximus IPA chilling down in the freezer (not fast enough however) the Wings are on, and there’s a Friggin LB with you Hosers. The only thing that could make this better is Elisha C riding me like a 25 cent electric pony outside K-Mart.

It’s a win-win Quake. If Bubba wins and the Blues miss the playoffs they’ll blame us forever. Frigging awesome.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 04/09/09 at 06:39 PM ET
Nice start by our third liners. Really don’t want to have to live with watching our guys “survive” the first ten or fifteen minutes.

Nah, Lime Kool-Aid w/rum.
My wife is away for a few days, and I promised her I would consume something green everyday.

Nice. Very healthy of you. I’m trying to get my daily intake of grains here in a couple of minutes. liquid form.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 04/09/09 at 06:43 PM ET
Sullivan is remarkable. Seeing him play, you wouldn’t realize how long he had been out.
Kronwall hits Tootoo. Nice.

I don’t hear the love of sweet Jeebus in your voice, Chief. Or whatever Clint Eastwood said.

Datsyuk doesn’t even seem to use any effort when he skates.
Hossa wants a goal, I think.
