Go back with me, won’t you? Back, back, back to October when we so redolently pointed out the fact that the Wings were being scheduled nothing but weekend games in order to pad owners’ wallets early. We mentioned it here and next thing you know the trolls came out and said mean things.
“Little Gary’s letting “us” play hockey again”
Man is that self-indulgent and whiny.
Is Bettman the scheduler? Is a 5 game break in October really a huge blow? I believe a comment section is there to keep a writer a bit honest.

Actually, the comment section is there to..well, I’m not sure but I just know that I dig it and always have. My response was brilliant and long-winded.
He’s the commissioner. Therefore he’s the scheduler, disciplinarian, overseer of transactions, janitor. Every bit of it. It’s all his responsibility. It’s called leadership and it’s why he “earns” those 7million every year.
Two five-day breaks. Not just one. Two, in the first three weeks of the season. No big deal now but wait until Jan and Feb when we have all those games crammed together and the injuries start piling up.

Now, to present day. Luckily our injury situation is better than it has been in years. But tonite’s a prime example of why that could change quickly. Last night in Hockeytown, tonite in Dallas where Gary wanted to build from the South up. Detroit, Dallas all in 48 hours…when the Wings stewed and sat over the course of two five-day breaks in the first three weeks of the season.
Nice schedule, Gary. Nice league, toad.
Live Blog it, bitches and hope for health.
12 in ‘12, baby Jesus willing.

Huds back on the ice. That hug from Van Zant must’ve made him feel better.

Seems likes he is lacking confidence.
Kate, I just think he is lacking.Period.

How does Ken manage to say “Ericcson’s got it” with such confidence in his voice. Definitely a professional announcer.
Posted by Yzersyuk on 01/18/12 at 12:12 AM ET
Conks is giving Dallas confidence.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Switch to “link 2” on the fed. It’s mucho better.

Loui Erikson and the Isle wish they could play the Wings every game.

Totally. You can see it. Big as life.

that’s not holding, that’s hugging
announcers say he got pushed into Dats, and had to hug him down

Shoot the puck. I hate the PP units, I’m convinced that is the problem. Keep normal lines and only use Kronner/TPH/White on the points.
Posted by SolidTG7 on 01/18/12 at 12:15 AM ET
Conks is in the shitter. Just like in the commercial. Maybe he should use a plunger. Couldn’t hurt.

This upcoming 7 of 9 road stretch scares the shit out of me.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from California on 01/18/12 at 12:17 AM ET
tough start. again. You guys are right , though. Real hard to get a good start when you can’t get a call. Even tougher when you can’t kill a penalty. You’d think between Dats, Helm, Cleary, Abby, Z…...wouldn’t be such a problem.
Posted by tuxedoTshirt from the Home of the 1937 World Champions on 01/18/12 at 12:17 AM ET
So… who would be available as a back-up if Tick-Tock goes that route and who do we give up?

send conk to the griffins, and call up jmac? can he really be any worse?
Posted by TheRealYooper from within sight of the edge of the Earth. on 01/18/12 at 12:20 AM ET
I don’t think Dats kills penalties as much anymore, its mostly Helm/Cleary/Miller/Flip.
Maybe they need to change that.

You forgot… left.
Posted by calquake on 01/18/12 at 12:21 AM ET
Ohhhhh. Okay, dream-time, Do you think we could drag Ozzie back out of retirement?It’s plausible no? Hell, isn’t Hasek still playing somewhere?
Also, Conk’s is only playing badly because he has ALL the pencils right now.

Ben Bishop. Stl system.
Posted by tuxedoTshirt from the Home of the 1937 World Champions on 01/18/12 at 12:22 AM ET
Aside from the Wings general suckage on the PK; tonight none of the Wings forwards seem to being doing worth a crap at defensive coverage. Sparty did make one good play, however.

Conk sucker. Seems likes he is lacking confidence.
