Waddell: Wings Better Equipped To Avoid Traditional Game 3 Letdown

While many of you did your juvenilicious best to avoid work, family and adult responsibility today?  Well, I don’t have much else other than that since I was right along with you.  Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star?  I guess he worked.

“Last year, we let some goals in right after we scored,” Kronwall said. “The key shifts are right after you score to keep the momentum going.

“Right from the start we need a good push and hopefully we can take their will to win right away.

“We feel good about our game the first two games. We’ve played 60 minutes.

“We haven’t had any periods of the game where we sat back and relaxed.”

There’s much more a feel that the Wings are in control of this series compared to a year ago.

One more note on the reference to the “Wing bloggers are level-headed and the commenters are assholes” debate from earlier.  I have to be level-headed. It’s in my job description.

Since, you know, I’m a “pro blogger”...according to this jackass anyway.

Nope, Dicko, haven’t forgotten yet.  Working on it, but not yet. 

Speaking of free BJs, the Columbus bloggers have a little project going on.  Follow along.

The Cannon

For this weeks’ home games tomorrow and Thursday, WEAR BLUE. Be sure to pass the word along to anyone you know that is attending a game.

Whatever you do, don’t wear red.

The other thing we need to do as Jackets fans is to come up with new, fun (and appropriate, of course) chants, sign ideas, and other ways to inspire our team.

Before I show you the snappy solution conceived of by the BJ experts at Light the Lamp, I have to say this.  If I was at a game, and a frigging cannon went off when my team scored followed by, “For Those About To Rock,”...I’d go frigging bonkers and I’m not kidding.  Awesome.

This, though?  Not quite so creative, or so awesome.  Still better than anything our boy Slick can do with his “hardware”, but…

Couple of things Jacket fans.

1. In place of “Let’s Go Jackets” some friends and I would love to hear the following chant loud and proud in Nationwide tomorrow:

DE-TROIT SUCKS

DE-TROIT SUCKS

DE-TROIT SUCKS

Trust me.. after the warm hospitality (aside from the Anchor Bar which rocked) they showed Jacket fans over the first two games of this series this is the least we can do.

Gentlemen?  The Blues are down 0-3.  You will soon be as well.  That’s all you really want to share with them isn’t it?
