Joel Quenneville just can’t get enough can he? After years perfectly playing a specific role with two teams we’ve consistently and enjoyably destroyed…he’s been selected to lead “the next rival.”
Selected by who(m)?
We can assume can’t we? Sure we can. You know who it was. Scotty. And for that? You are still our hero.
Exactly. Back for a reprise? It’s Joel “Jody Girl” Quenneville, starring as…Wing Bitch.
Hence the post title for a game that doesn’t include Chicago. Don’t worry. I’ll be bringing it back.
On to tonite. An early beginning to the Live Blog, which I know you enjoy. I get DirectTV tomorrow. The day that all returns to normal after something like 16 months without hockey on a big fat screen. But tonite?
I’m still screwed. Hey, anybody got a link to a feed?

I thought there was nothing that could make me love Meech more. I was wrong.

When did Murph start talking like Yoda?

Crap. Between Dat’s legs…how often does that happen?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/18/08 at 06:22 PM ET
ozzy just got burned. Damn. Also, MSG TV seems to think Z won the Selke.

Why would you WANT to catch a skunk… unless he’s invading your space.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:26 PM ET
It kept spraying our stupid dog…our very, very stupid dog.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/18/08 at 06:29 PM ET
Yeah, I saw a skunk stand up to a much bigger dog once…. pretty much a draw.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:30 PM ET
By the way…. what’s with the pages of comments? Something new?
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:37 PM ET
Pages are intended to increase load times. It’d be nice if you could set preferences to always load most recent tho.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 06:38 PM ET
Meh… better first half than second of the period, but all in all, acceptable.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:44 PM ET
First half was walk all over the Rags. 2nd half they woke up. Drury’s line workin hard.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 06:46 PM ET
I think we’re going to see a lot of teams working hard against the Wings this year. In the long run that will be beneficial but IMO the Wings will lose more games this year than last.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Spraying the dog
load times…..
Sounds “technical”.
Just tuned in to the game….looks like a fast start. meech got one?

Assist only. He looks okay but needs to be careful about commiting in the offensive zone.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:52 PM ET
I don’t know if anybody noticed but, except for Nate we’re all cali boys in here.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 06:54 PM ET
Heya RB! Sorry I missed you at the concert…by intermission, I was…no longer…conversive. By the time he played Pirate Looks at 40, I couldn’t feel my fingers, much less figure out how to work my blackberry to send a text…
I’m just now starting to recover…
great show…
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/18/08 at 06:57 PM ET
aren’t we all “Metro Detroit”?!
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 10/18/08 at 06:58 PM ET
Hey Gabe! No worries…not sure why I paid for a seat…never sat down! Caught the encore in the parking lot “freshening” an adult beverage.
Tried working yesterday…gave up at noon….still on Margaritaville time.

Hanky, William Tell and Mule have goals. Flip has 2 assists and Meech 1.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 07:02 PM ET
Sammy with a deflection off of Meech’s first shot, and Franzen…both within the first 5 minutes.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/18/08 at 07:03 PM ET
Cool, thanks, I guess we should rag on Sammy more, he seams to score when we rag on him.lol
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/18/08 at 07:07 PM ET
Shoulda been Hossa’s first….. but I’ll take Homer’s 5th.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 07:19 PM ET
Evening all. Just got woken up for work and thought that I’d poke my head in as long as I’m up, even though I don’t have the game on (not being carried and I’m too lazy/tired to grab a feed online). I see that we’re winning…yet still no goals from Hossa. How insanely hungry do you think he is?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/18/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Ok, my net decided to crap out for 30 minutes. Ehat’d I miss? I see the score is 3-2 now.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Hossa had an excellent chance earlier… but Homer scored as a result.
Posted by calquake on 10/18/08 at 07:29 PM ET
What’s going on with Datsyuk? He’s really off the last few minutes…
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/18/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Crapola, more testing of defenseman depth? And it’s everyone’s hero, Lilja too!
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Hossa really is getting the chances. If he was creating and getting chances I might freak. Wings 5 on 3 for 30 seconds!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/18/08 at 07:32 PM ET
Nate, did he get hurt? I saw from the live update that he blocked a shot…
Aaron Voros takes a penalty, and it’s not for fighting. Hrm.
Restoring the two-goal lead would be nice, as would keeping the PP clicking. All our goals seem to have come even-strength.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/18/08 at 07:32 PM ET
Homer has improved his puck handling skills this year. I’m impressed.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Andrew, Lils took a shot off the right foot. Stayed pretty much stationary until the zone was cleared and he hobbled off the ice.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 10/18/08 at 07:34 PM ET
Nate, he also seems to have improved his English a bit…his locker room interview was oddly understandable.
