Yes…Live Blog It. But Don’t Watch This Game. It Will Be Too Painful.

I don't know how we can do it. Scientifically, it's probably impossible. But one way or another? We need to Live Blog this game without...actually...watching...it.
You guys take days like this way too seriously. Losses affect you in obscene ways, and usually the consequences are hygienic in nature. And that's not good. Today will be horrible. Chicago is too good. They haven't lost in Detroit in 8 games. They lead the league in scoring, defense, minor in possession offenses and specialty play. They're going to win the Cup, the Jennings, the Clemente award.
The Wings have no chance.
So you can't watch it. Don't even listen to it. Just comment when you feel a tingle. Or don't comment at all. Read something. Write your congressman a ditty and tell him the Navy actually, you know, belongs at sea and it might be a good idea to, you know, get his fat ass back to Washington and send us there...to sea, that is. That's a sequestration reference, by the way.
But don't watch this shit show. And a shit show it will be. Detroyet doesn't have the firepower. Our young defense is just not stout enough. Our coach is overrated and their coach is a savant.
They have Hossa. We have Franzen. Repeat that to yourself five times and then end it all.
The mountain is too steep. The only thing the Wings possibly have going for them...
...is the fact that they simply win games like this. They do and you know it. You've been looking forward to this with calm confidence when all the smart kids say we should dread it.
You don't dread it. Because you know.
Wings win. In regulation. By two goals.
Forget what I said about not watching this. That was stupid. Watch this one. It's a Live Blog bitches.

Hail to the chief! I’d like to mention a note of worthiness. I’m going to watch this fight. Carcillo vs. Tootoo. If a hockey games becomes of it, so be it.
Game On!

at the time I really thought franzen was the better choice. now? not so much. prove me wrong franzen.
on another thought, Pav has 26 two goal games in his time with the wings 0 hat tricks.
today is a good day to end that.

Doesn’t that have something to do with horses and Mitt Romney?

Are you claiming that Johan Franzen plays hockey for the Detroit Red Wings?

I’ll be late to the LB, but listening to the game. Not that it needs saying, but carry on.
Hossa - Franzen. EGAD.

Whatever it takes. Thank you, Master Chief, for putting it on the line. Every. Single. Day.
With great respect,
Kate

Doc: “Most regular season wins last year: Detroit. Most regular season wins this year: Chicago.”
A third of the way through half a season.
Barf.

8-13-11 combo makes me sad.

Oduya grabbed Brunner’s stick behind the net. No call. Of course.

love the edginess Brunner is playing with on the fore check. in SJ he pushed/thumped Thornton out of the zone to cause an off sides.

Didn’t he tie the horse to the top of his Rambler wagon, tie Tagg to the top of the horse, and drive to Canada on a road trip?
