Panic On The Stress Train: The Wind Of November’s Come Stealin’

I've read George's stuff all day and I'll go ahead and be your huckleberry...it's depressing.
Up comes Nyquist. Back comes Wally. Stirs Shit With Big Wooden Spoon is sitting.
And Justin Abdelkader remains on the second line. That is just...baffling.
This way west trip is everything. If the Wings lose three it doesn't mean they're out of it, technically. It just confirms what many of us suspect: the horizon is disgusting and the trade deadline means less than ever and 35-1 odds are actually accurate.
35-1 odds. That's where Detroyet stands today, according to the wagering pharmacists.
We can argue it and scoff but it's steeped in fact. The Wings have a butt-ton of road games and they can't win on the road. The way west teams, and pretty much everybody, will brutalize this team because OH FOR THIRTY ANYTHING on the road PP is a good reason to take liberties.
It makes me sad. It does. But a turnaround, a nice little junket to the provinces? That could, you know, signal something nifty. But it has to be now, and it has to be convincing, because the road--literally--gets no easier.
It's a Live Blog, you bitches. And if you're not stressing now, you've resigned yourselves to this: mediocrity now, and maybe for the near future as long as the status quo remains behind the bench and upstairs where "kicking the tires" is, apparently, acceptable as long as you made a few cursory, empty, phone calls.
Howard's down with the flu. Ian White is...what? Felled by personal reasons? I don't care if the guy sits, but that's just...baffling.
Here we go. If the turnaround's gonna happen, it starts tonite.

I told my self all day, I was glad they were traveling west, because I don’t watch the west coast games, except on weekends.
Here I sit, remote in hand. A Wingoholic.

Oi, Dougles, any Southern 19 get-togethers at the cabin planned for this season?
I’m really only twice as obnoxious as I come across here when I’m drunk.

Evenin’ beotches
9:30 is my weeknight bedtime, so I’ll be listening to Ken Kal and Paul’s Wood.
The Wings will lose by eleven, and Paul’s will talk about a strong effort and coming up just short.
Sorry for the negativity, but this portion of the schedule scared the hell out of me when it came out in January.
Sorry, Kate, my whore mouth is shut now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Far from that, believe me. I’m not even the 19 court jester.
I’m just a lowly ginger, drinking Sangria and trying not to piss people off.

Wait…Mick made the trip?
He was the only one who could keep a straight face while defending Abby on Pavel’s wing.

Thanks Kate, I am not as quick witty as you, I bow to You! Queen of the 19!!!!!
Posted by Little Redhead from the Engineer’s chair on 03/13/13 at 09:30 PM ET
You’re too kind. I am more prone to being the Queen of the Bitches.
No offense to the rest of you bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Mick on a road trip to Western Canada? Because of the fathers trip maybe? Kinda confused…
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 03/13/13 at 09:36 PM ET
This is the last year the Wings will make a trip like this so I’m actually happy the Wings and FSD let the Mick ride with them.
Or Mick’s in the dressing room undressing the Wings with his angry stare. In that case, I would stay clear of the Mick’s wrath.

I’d like my soul back, please.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 03/13/13 at 09:39 PM ET
Make sure to watch 14. He’ll probably be hot and barely on the ice (so that he can better watch Abby show him how a top six forward operates)

Food=good. Hate the iPad.

Did someone switch the “F” and “G” keys on your keyboard, Kate? That’s just funny.

Strangest thing happened to me today. I farted, and some white smoke came out of my ass, and 15 minutes later there were 20,000 people standing in my front yard

Not hanging it up Gabe. Just gonna have to schedule well…like a big boy pharmacist.
Glad to hear it, Chief. And hey, on the plus side, that means you’ll have more time to find synonyms for ‘confusing’ and ‘frustrating’ to describe whatever the hell’s going on with this team. Here, I’ll even offer one up:
Obnubilate.

Fucher thinks he’s infallible. He even wrote his own Bible. “Leave No Doubt.”

Coach Babcock changed his name to “Pope McBitchalot.”

Well, this should be interesting, I think.
