Saturday didn't happen. Clubber Lang was fiction. That Blues rookie was nothing but a nightmare, but holy hell that kid is good. Enough about that. Didn't happen.
You know what did happen for real and no BS?
"Nine Tonight" was recorded in 1980 and it's unreal. Know the best part? I know you do so don't sit there like Potsie Frigging Weber trying to pretend you're oblivious when we all know you've been paying attention all these years.
"Just like southern Michigan summer time." That line is just so Seger. And Seger is so Michigan because he's never forgotten his roots. He belts that line out and the Cobo crowd goes nuts.
But wait...here's the best part. It wasn't Cobo...it was Boston. He changed that line and tailored it to us...in Boston. He didn't go all Dave Matthews on us and say it was just like "eastern Nantucket summer time" to please those Northeastern yuppie tools. No. He brought Michigan to them.
It's why I can't get away from Seger. The ultimate transplant who can't leave MI behind, like more than a few of us.
I have nothing to say about the Wings that I haven't already said today. Husk and Gus in. Fredo and William Tell out. Quite The ClusterFuch is in, of course.
It's a Live Blog, bitches. As it should be.

Howard should shit on his teammates. Literally. A massive dump on each of them.

O_O
James’ dong is HUGE tonight.

So, why is Nyquist in the bottom-6?
I mean, just curious. Nyquist has put in some time, and Brunner hasn’t, yet Brunner gets a very, VERY slack leash.
Posted by RedMenace from the darkest recesses on 01/22/13 at 09:51 PM ET
I see your point, but it’s hard to say that Brunner hasn’t shown his worthiness.

On the plus side, Howard is playing great.
On the minus side, the Wings are one of the worst teams in the NHL.

I’m not saying he hasn’t, but Cleary is with Datsyuk and Flip.
Cleary.
Not Nyquist.

Well it is obvious now, the defense strategy for this season is Jimmy Howard. We might even win a few games if we had a few good pieces in front of him. Sunshine Babs doesn’t seem to have the answer, nor Tick Tock other than pray Jimmy doesn’t get hurt.

Would being bad enough to win Seth Jones br worth being bad enough to win Seth Jones?

Bullshit rule.

Get the *#$%@& puck UP you god damned dumb mother *#$%@&

Mule skates like an 80 yr old man, and gets angry like a 4 yr old that didnt get the toy he wanted at the store
Posted by NIVO from underpants gnome village on 01/22/13 at 10:57 PM ET
At least Cleary knows how to go to the net.
Not Franzen, Cleary.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/22/13 at 10:57 PM ET
And after a year like this one… who says Jimmy wants to resign?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 from I really like our team on 01/22/13 at 10:57 PM ET
Why do they so consistently cycle the puck away from the net?

Totally agree. I could see dropping the puck again, but a penalty?

Christ, goalie standing on his head. Tired of that shit.

White to the locker room. yAY

You should see that kid play—size, speed, strength and a ton of hockey skills. I’m never a big advocate of tanking, but I think he’s the kind of cornerstone player you can build around.

Making Lehtonen loon stellar.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 from I really like our team on 01/22/13 at 11:04 PM ET
Heh, am I the only one still here?
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/22/13 at 11:06 PM ET
Franzen not even trying to get up.
Metaphor for the last three seasons?

Yes,

2 shots have hit Franzen.
Between him and Quagmire, I don’t know if I can handle this season.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/22/13 at 11:07 PM ET
Still here, though no one has replied to any of my posts all night. I must not be that insightful.

Thats why the organ-i-zation paid the big bucks for em… right?

Just saw the Lehtonen montage. He’s actually been good tonight.

Don’t feel bad, 9/10ths of my posts don’t get a response.
Quantity, not quality.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/22/13 at 11:09 PM ET
We’re here…...just speechless…..

If not for JTH, this game would be 8-0
