All Is Well…Gary Says The Playoffs Start Tonite

In a stunning decision from the NHL front office in Pittsburgh, midget commissioner Gary.Ass Bettman announced just moments ago that Sidney Crosby has been named Cosmopolitan Magazine's Man of the Decade and that the NHL playoffs will start this evening. First round matchups will be announced thirty minutes before game times. If any visiting team can't make it to their scheduled game, that round will be postponed until the new glossy Crosby posters have been completely reviewed in Bettman's private office, with soft lighting.
None of that is true, except the part about Bettman being a midget, the Cosmo award for Rosby, the poster thing and the soft lighting. So, the playoffs aren't really starting tonite.
But if they were?
The Wings would be playing Vancouver. Is that some sort of crazy-ass coincidence or what?
Nuts.
Two of them. If Luongo has those, he's in tonite because of the violation Detroit levied upon him the last time out.
Whatever. The Wings, because they did last night, can score on the power play, win on the road and profess allegiance to their coach.
It's a late one and I'm guessing, maybe, two of you are sober. Have at it, by god. It's a Live Blog, bitches.

I’m listening to the Michigan/Western game, which Michigan leads 5-1 early in the third. I think someone said this last night in the LB, but I’ll say it again. If this year’s Michigan team can turn things around the way they have, the Wings sure as hell can too.
I’m recording the game to watch in the AM. Too tired to stay up. Have fun, y’all.
LET’S GO RED WINGS !!!!!

Hey all, Finally a night with no plans that I can LB. Wife and I used a gift card at bevmo so the pregame is in full swing. Drinking sunflowers, some olde pre-prohibition cocktail (allegedly). Damn good stuff.
Can ya interpolate that for us non pharmacists Cap’n? Kate is spot on with the ethnocentric Babbletispeak. Probably hates Hakan Andersson for bringing this team all of its Eurotrash players. Posted by cigar_nurse from Greenville South Cakalakee on 03/16/13 at 06:35 PM ET
CN, Kate’s comments on Babs jingosim reminded me of Don Cherry, so Cherrycock of Babcherry. And the latin was a riff off of SNL’s “if it’s not scottish, it’s crap,” but Canadian of course.

Evenin’ Bitches. Until my circadian rhythms gel with the DST my old bones still think it’s one hour earlier so, I’m in too.
If it’s not Datsyuk, it’s crap.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Evening Bitches. So two games in a row with a road PP goal…sounds like a hell of a streak to be on!

Holland signing that Petry fellow was a great move.

I haven’t seen one player on either team try a deke until the last one.
Posted by calquake on 03/16/13 at 10:06 PM ET
These guys suck! How were any goals scored in this game. They’re on round 8 of the SO
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/16/13 at 10:06 PM ET
Finally, round 10. Now cut to the Wings game….
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/16/13 at 10:08 PM ET
how many round did that so go?
Posted by TheRealYooper from within sight of the edge of the Earth. on 03/16/13 at 10:09 PM ET
Jets win, but a Leaf is the number one star? Toronto media has a lot of credibility I see
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/16/13 at 10:10 PM ET
Anyone who claims shootouts are so exciting should be forced to watch rounds 4-9 of that mess over and over again.
Posted by Valek on 03/16/13 at 10:11 PM ET
The Wings have every reason to lose tonight so I fully expect the opposite. Actually I just wanna see a good game.

Much like the Wings and their streak, UM has a 22 year streak of making the NCAA playoffs. Red and the Boys will have to win the final CCHA tourney to keep that streak alive. Go Blue!

Go Blue!

Even though the current Cannucks have nothing to do with the Millionaires, I love the history behind it and love the jerseys. Of course that could be all the cocktails I’ve had talking
