This made me weepy.
I tried, people, I really tried to be a REAL hockey fan. Briefly. If it ain’t the Wings, I just dont give a shit.

That pretty much sums it up. Hockey's been on all day, allegedly. They raised their 8th seeded banner in LA before the heavily-favored-to-repeat Kings got smoked by the third-best team in the Central. They renewed hostilities in Pennsylvania and I'll bet Rosby's been touched exactly once...by Gary Bettman, most likely.
And I tried to watch. Honestly. I wanted to be a good citizen. But in the end?
I couldn't because--like Dougie--I just don't give a shit about the NHL, about hockey, about the purity of our sport and our precious league.
Nope. All I really care about is Detroyet is playing hockey again. The Blues will raise their Central Division yellow sticky in some corporately sponsored arena tonite and the Wings will watch and chortle. They've been through these before...many, many times. Division winners. That's...nice.
The Wings are back, and they're back tonite. Other hockey happens, I guess. And that's ok. But it's all static. It's all boring. To us, and to millions. You either love our Wings because baby Jesus decreed it, or you hate them because Detroit's owned your team for decades and months and days.
St. Louis is a favorite, boy. And the Wings? Oh woe is us. Like Jenny said earlier, everyone's all sad-face when they talk about us. "This is the year, sigh..." Ok. Bookmark that shit. Bookmark the naysayers.
Say it again. St. Louis is a favorite. That is awesome. The little kids who could, who tried, who found so much regular season glory last year only to see a standard end to a normal Blues season, Cup-free again.
So raise that banner tonite, little Bitter ones. Raise the division crown high, high, high. Bellow at it and shake your fists, Blues fans. What an achievement.
Bullet Bob says not to worry because nothing's more fun to slap around than the Awkward Teenage Blues. Take them out past the cornfield where the woods got heavy and give them the back of your hand. Because division titles don't mean jack shit, Sally.
Big brother's in town. Again. It's a Live Blog, bitches.

Despite the score, it is good to be back.

I just got a text from my brother who is at the game…to quote:
“HOLY SHIT DUDE BIG ASS FIGHT BIG ASS FIGHT WOOOO”

Fournier, Mrazek, Pare, Tatar, Lashoff all got ejected from the griffins game

Poor Gus.
Welcome to the Red Wings circa 2013
Posted by 42jeff from Minot, North Dakota on 01/19/13 at 11:35 PM ET
Gus has given up zero goals. Goalie controversy.

Blues haven’t scored since Monster has been in goal. I think we’re on to something.
Shut. Whore. Mouth.

That was just too easy a call. Deflection right in front.

West Wing have you heard any reaction to the Sam Adams IPA?
They make what I would call a good default beer. There are lots more interesting IPAs out there, but a lot of the really great ones can be kinda hard to find so it kinda falls into the “it’ll do in a pinch” category for me.

Too late.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

3-0 would have been a bad night. Maybe, *fingers crossed* 6-0, will be a wake up call.
Posted by bezukov from the kids are alright. on 01/19/13 at 11:37 PM ET
Ok…hands up for who all thinks this will get the Wings’ attention and they’ll come out firing on all cylinders for the next game….
:crickets:

I’m going out and find my neighbors cat, and piss all over it.
The LB was the only thing thing good aboot this fuching game.
Posted by dougie on 01/19/13 at 11:38 PM ET
Luckily, St Louis only averaging two goals per period.
Posted by monkey from Finland on 01/19/13 at 11:38 PM ET
Haha Franzen starts shit and then skates away. So what are we tearing pages out of the Rosby play book now?
Posted by bezukov from the kids are alright. on 01/19/13 at 11:39 PM ET
Oh look Jackman being a cocksucker
Posted by 42jeff from Minot, North Dakota on 01/19/13 at 11:39 PM ET
“Very few tickets left” for the home opener. Check stubhub though there should be plenty now.
Posted by Stevis on 01/19/13 at 11:39 PM ET
If this is the way they are gonna play I praise Jeebus for the lockout…..my liver would not have survived a full season.

On a positive note, surely we will be leading the league in PIMs after Night One.

Guddammit you always find the best perspective you cynical bastard.
Posted by RWBill from the open bar on The Hasek. on 01/19/13 at 11:41 PM ET
No pride on this team. A 6-0 rout and not even one good shift.

I can honestly say you crazy ass bitches are the only reason I even cared enough to turn this shit on tonight.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/19/13 at 11:42 PM ET
Can we call up the Griffins….en masse?
Posted by Rumbear from Top O the Hasek, SCP Round #2....whore style on 01/19/13 at 11:43 PM ET
We should pull the G just to see if it makes a difference… At either end of the ce.

And think about just how well rested the Wings will be going into their next game having not skated, shot or really given a shit at all tonight.

The very first one was good… ish…
Posted by tkfergy on 01/19/13 at 11:43 PM ET
Goodnight you magnificent bastards. The only reason to stick along this far.
Posted by calquake on 01/19/13 at 11:44 PM ET
YAY!!!! BLUES WIN THE CUP!!!......oh wait…..that’s not what happened. I guess it’s the cup for them.

I’m glad this game isn’t close. It’s kept me from having a fit over what a piss poor job the refs are doing. Having no preseason is showing for them too.
