Saturday night? That was the first Lang fight. The Stallion showed a glimpse of push-back the first twenty seconds and then he was overwhelmed by the sheer, animal strength of the hungry challenger. Don't forget. Clubber Lang lived alone, trained alone, ate alone, washed alone, raised pigeons alone and said horrible things to Adrian at an event that was supposed to be Rocky's Big Day.
And then he laid waste to Balboa. Demoralized him.
Unlike Rocky III, perhaps the greatest true story in modern boxing history, I have little hope of a miracle.
Holy hell. It wasn't just a "fail to compete," or a lot of lost "puck battles". There was no competition and there was no battle. That Blues team is really good. And our Wings team is really, really mediocre. Slow. We looked plodding compared to Clubber Lang.
I offer you no hope for 12. Not now. Not after that. Mickey's dead. Adrian's lost faith. All is lost.
Appollo? We need you. And bring that fat drunk Paulie with you.
It's a Live Blog. With BJs.

“Milbury gained notoriety for what occurred following a 4–3 Bruins victory over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on December 23, 1979. During an on-ice fray between the players from both sides, a Rangers fan cut Stan Jonathan’s face with a rolled-up program and grabbed his hockey stick. O’Reilly climbed over the Plexiglas and went into the stands in pursuit of the offender, followed by Peter McNab and other teammates. Milbury, who had actually reached the visitors locker room when his teammates started going into the stands, raced back to join his colleagues in the brawl. He caught the unruly spectator, removed one of his shoes and, while holding the heel end, slapped him hard once with the sole side before being restrained. Subsequently NHL president John Ziegler suspended O’Reilly for eight games and McNab and Milbury for six, with each being fined $500. The offending fan was fined $500 and sentenced to six months in jail. This incident also resulted in the installation of higher glass panels enclosing rinks in hockey arenas.[8]”

Also, take careful note of what number Lashoff is wearing.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/21/13 at 09:45 PM ET
Can we pretend we gave up a 1st round pick for Lashoff?

Somebody’s gotta show these guys where the puck goes.

Homer would have been called for goalie interference on that goal.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 01/21/13 at 09:48 PM ET
Now that’s using your dip stick, jimmeh
Posted by RorSchach from Datsberg on 01/21/13 at 09:48 PM ET
I don’t think he’ll get a point on it but Filpula had a great shift on that goal.

Surprised he wasn’t.
Posted by calquake on 01/21/13 at 09:49 PM ET
I’ve gotta say, Emmerton ***#$%@&, Canoe talking about Junior hockey** has a LOT of hustle, and definitely works hard.
Stuar—I mean, Lashoff, trying to clear out the front of the net.
I’m high on Lash, bitches.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/21/13 at 09:49 PM ET
A goal! What is it?
To be a better person and promote world peace. Oh and to stop using the F word so damn fukkin much.

Brilliant. And I truly don’t even think you were joking.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/21/13 at 09:51 PM ET
Two missed calls - hold and a high stick. Unless that was a Wings stick?
Posted by sjketcheson from Ottawa on 01/21/13 at 09:51 PM ET
YAY. Just stumbled in from the bar, and some guy I never heard of scores the first goal of the season for the Wings.
Don’t know what to make of that.
Might have to go back to the bar.
Posted by dougie on 01/21/13 at 09:52 PM ET

Posted by dougie on 01/21/13 at 08:52 PM ET
And this is somehow different from the million or so other times you’ve used that phrase?
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/21/13 at 09:54 PM ET
so the wings have scored a goal, and are leading the game?
Posted by TheRealYooper from within sight of the edge of the Earth. on 01/21/13 at 09:54 PM ET
LOL DOUCHE CANOE! “I don’t think he wanted to do that”

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.

All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
