All Is Well…Gary Says The Playoffs Start Tonite

In a stunning decision from the NHL front office in Pittsburgh, midget commissioner Gary.Ass Bettman announced just moments ago that Sidney Crosby has been named Cosmopolitan Magazine's Man of the Decade and that the NHL playoffs will start this evening. First round matchups will be announced thirty minutes before game times. If any visiting team can't make it to their scheduled game, that round will be postponed until the new glossy Crosby posters have been completely reviewed in Bettman's private office, with soft lighting.
None of that is true, except the part about Bettman being a midget, the Cosmo award for Rosby, the poster thing and the soft lighting. So, the playoffs aren't really starting tonite.
But if they were?
The Wings would be playing Vancouver. Is that some sort of crazy-ass coincidence or what?
Nuts.
Two of them. If Luongo has those, he's in tonite because of the violation Detroit levied upon him the last time out.
Whatever. The Wings, because they did last night, can score on the power play, win on the road and profess allegiance to their coach.
It's a late one and I'm guessing, maybe, two of you are sober. Have at it, by god. It's a Live Blog, bitches.

Even if what they say is true… it doesn’t make it right.

Am streaming 97.1 online and had to pause the NHL video for 2 minutes, but it’s worth it to hear friendly voices.

No interference call huh? I bet it is called on the exact same type of play later.

Modern day society, economics and politics may suck, but damn, big-screen HD TV’s and high-speed internet connections are really cool.

I always mute National games too, because I’m pretty sure too much Pierre McGuire can cause brain damage and sterility.

I do not like the Million Jersey March. Too many jerseys in the NHL.
Tradition is having only two, but, money talks.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Every time I see jimmy do that now I think, “damn, more evidence for the agent”. Then again I’m okay if he can keep doing that.

I like the history behind the jerseys but the pants are fugly.

As many have stated, give Jimmy term or money but not both.

My 80 year old Mother could get there ahead of Franzen.

I hated the third jersey BS back in the 90’s, but historic uni’s I’m cool with. I’d love to see the Wings take the ice in Cougars gear.

Your 80 yr old mother gives a shit and has a better work ethic

A comatose Paul Woods says you have to react quickly, “this isn’t a game for second thinkers”.
I don’t know what that is, but I’ll take his word for it.

Damn, I am a post whore tonight
