Oh for god's sake. This is too much. Game after game, the hill gets steeper. I'm serious this time. There is no way we're winnigng this one. And there's no way I can even spell winning. The little streak was nice, but it ends tonite at the Joe.
Just as he was getting so very warm, like urine, Johan Franzen is hurt with a hip flexor. We have no idea when Darren Helm will be back, or our precious serial killer.
The bitter little baby brother Blues are angry. So very angry.
Nick Lidstrom will be there tonite, but he'll be in some slick-ass suit.
Us?
We'll have nothing but blue balls. Nick's there, but he's not giving it up. You know what I mean.
Oh and then there's this...Desperate Ken Hitchcock, starving and foaming, is starting a rookie. Some kid named Jake Allen.
He'll play the game of his life then we'll never hear from him again.
Injuries. Providence. Swedish Teases.
Wings win 4-2. Goals from Home Keys, Zetterman, Wally and Datsyuk.
I'm at sea. I'll try and watch. If not?
It's a Live Blog, bitches.

Ahoy, Master Chief. You heading out for a three hour tour or something significantly longer?
The L is a foregone conclusion. The only real question is which Wing will Jobu fuch over with an injury tonight?
L.G.R.W.!!!

Ahoy Captain D. Just a short one and maybe the last for a while because Little Gary and congress won’t let me sail as much as I’d like.

Lil Gary and Congress? That’s the Perfect Storm of Incompetence right there.
Safe travels.

Uncle Mike in the Yahoo article:
“We can win if we’re organized and we look after the details and we compete our butt off,” Babcock said. “If we don’t do those three things, we have no chance.”
He might have added - - if they can kill a penalty or two.

This bit is priceless Babcock:
He [Datsyuk] took a nasty hit from the Los Angeles Kings’ Drew Doughty, losing his helmet in the offensive end, but he popped right back up and raced back the length of the ice. He scored a gorgeous goal on his next shift, and then he got even more revenge. . . . But he went after Doughty later.
“He just missed his head by about this much, too,” Babcock said. “He was going huntin’. He’s competitive – nothing wrong with that – whereas you’ve got other guys who get abused and then say, ‘Please, can I have another,’ instead of going huntin’.”

hah, those drones are gonna put you out of business Houligan.
Hope you’re spreading the Winged Wheel across the world.
I’m hoping for a good game but we’ll see, we do have a knack for making rookies look good. Ben Eager snuck in and wristed one of the post against the Oil. Ben Eager.
So it could def go either way. Here’s hoping the bottom 6 brings it tonight. Looking for 2 goals from our 3rd and 4th. I think our centers bring it home and Andersson and Emmerton dent the scoreboard. Look for the D to contribute too. We’ll get at least 1 goal out of them.
Quincey doesn’t make a single turnover.. alright, little too far.

You know Babs LOVES Doughty, especially after the Olympics, so he’s not gonna say anything bad about him but I’m glad he called it out for what it was.
Would still like to see more Wings play the body though. Pavel shouldn’t be looking to get Doughty back though. Plenty of other guys who could’ve looked after it.

Weirdness abounds. The BBB"s were the talk of the town. A true rivalry was a brewing they said. Now they are sitting in the 9th spot and sinking faster than a jelly doughnut at Hitchcocks house. Meanwhile, 13 games in to the season and Lil Bro seems to have won 25 of them. WTF….no losses?? Jeebus on a pogo stick.

Cock fight at the Joe tonite. Godspeed Master Chief.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Can you imagine how awesome it will be to see Nick get a standing O when the scoreboard video shows him?
Can you imagine NBCSN showing even a second of it?
Me neither.

Signing in early for this one bitches. Only the second full game I’ve been able to watch this season. Which is like sacrilege for me. Rockin the mojo and ready for a sloppy, nasty, bitter hate *#$%@& of a game. L.G.R.W.

I’m too busy imaging Backes get Kronwalled coming up the sideboards. I get a tingled up my leg thinking about it.

Ours is longer, and not skinny by any means.

Mid-Week Howdy All! Safe sailing Chief!
Retired Captain = A Suit - oh the indignity! Can we give him a jersey and substitute him in the game and no one be the wiser? Probably no, oh well!
Look for a W, Never expect anything less!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

I do enjoy doc. The greatest play every play that’s made. Good stuff. Douche Canoe And Windy Patch O’Ice Subtle Interference can both eat a bag of dicks.
Posted by RorSchach from Datsberg on 02/13/13 at 05:15 PM ET
I like Doc when he does play by play and he’s not encumbered by the current fad of constant interruption by some douche “expert” yapping away. Doc doing play by play by himself is a thing of beauty.
This is the vile standard of live sports tv broadcasting whether football, b-ball or hockey. b-ball has some of the worst, and that’s saying a lot. there are a lot of actually not very bright people doing sports broadcasts.

Here’s hoping the bottom 6 brings it tonight.
Posted by HockeytownOverhaul on 02/13/13 at 05:52 PM ET
That’s opposed to bringing 6 to the bottom.
Posted by RWBill from the open bar on The Hasek. on 02/13/13 at 07:59 PM ET
Seriously, Abdelkader is going to bang one in soon, as soon as my daughter can get to Detroit.

It all makes sense, gators slump. . . wow

The game is on NBC tonight? Gross.
Posted by bezukov from the kids are alright. on 02/13/13 at 08:13 PM ET
So, is Edzo’s new name around here Patch O’ Ice? Subtlepatch O’ ice?
We’ve renamed every Wings player, may as well start on the announcers now.
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie on 02/13/13 at 08:17 PM ET
No goal eh! He was in the crease! Light it up hosers! Fleshy headed mutants will fall, one black rubber pill at a time. GAME ON!

The puck hits an ice patch, and slips in.

Can someone with Photoshop skills get to work on making the Patch Adams movie poster into a Patch O’ice poster?
Much obliged.

The only way the NBC broadcast team could suck worse would be if they hired Dick Vitale as the color man.

We’ve got a knack for making goalies look stellar, I expect tonight to be nothing different.
