Once again the Wings will try to put together two wins in a row, which, if it happens, would be the first streak of this season.
Hope for the best.......

Hello Kate, thanks for starting the live blog. The Wings climb to the SCF begins tonight.
Which year, I don’t know, but it begins tonight.

I’m done complaining about the personnel decisions, but for the life of me I don’t understand why Sevchnikov is not playing in GR or in Detroit? Who benefits from him sitting in the press box…
Posted by Down River Dan on 02/23/21 at 07:46 PM ET

I got nothing against the guy but why is Helmer on the first line? Brome- Seltzer deserves it more.

Or Svechnikov.

I noticed a little more pep in Neilson’s effort so far tonight. maybe that was the reason?

Posted by Down River Dan on 02/23/21 at 07:46 PM ET
But Nielsen is playing….. how wrong is that? Rewarded for not being claimed off waivers…..

That just shows the state of the league right now. It’s not top caliber NHL hockey this season. Not knocking Glennie here. Just sayin…...

Kate, I see it the exact same way.
Still here watchin’ though!

Yes. It was a really beautiful day here in Cackalacky. This week is shaping up really well weather wise.

“Only” 63° here today. Wasn’t a week ago and we were at -17°. I know which I like better…

At least it’s decent hockey. A good distraction for us all.

I would not trade LGD for anyone. He is one of the building blocks needed in my opinion.
Posted by cigar_nurse from On LTIR for the Greenville Pylons on 02/23/21 at 08:03 PM ET

I’m still a fan of Karen Newman, but it may be time to come to grips that she’s not going to respond to my stalkin, overtures. I will probably move on to Katheryn Winnick, Viking Queen and recent TV murder investigator.
I have to admit, I would let her punch me in the face just as much as she wanted to. And if history is any indication, after she got to know me, she’d want to.

He always comes to prepared to play hard. A keeper.

Posted by Kate from PA now in SC-made in Detroit on 02/23/21 at 08:05 PM ET

I mean it says that LGD can “turn it on” with or without fans. We all already know that though, being familiar with his background and what he did in college. Compare to a player such as much maligned Mantha. Big Tony seems to feed off the fans, and is not well geared for the 2021 League.
No judgment, just observin’.

Bright lights, big city. They give these kids big money way too soon. Glennie came in when a player had to prove something before the big payday.

Running the goaler is ok if your not a Red Wing.
Posted by cigar_nurse from On LTIR for the Greenville Pylons on 02/23/21 at 08:12 PM ET

I don’t know if any of you drink Labatt beer but some info. I don’t work for them or get money or anything.
offer good until 2-28-21 for some of the stuff. I am going for the chair - and maybe a hat.

Three friends stranded on an island find a magic lamp containing a genie. He grants them each one wish. The first wishes he were off the island back home. The second wishes the same. The third guy thinks to himself, “I’m lonely. I wish my friends were back here.

Haha, now that’s a guy you’d like to punch in the face!
Posted by RWBill on 02/23/21 at 08:29 PM ET

What a cool chair Poobah. Last time I was in the thumb, Labatts was like 11 bucks a case. That was a couple of years ago.

Hi and thank you Kate!
Hello 19!
My favorite poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti died today.
I meet him multiple times at City Lights book store when i lived in San Francisco. I mention this because we have lost our connections with these types of people and characters because of netflix, MTv before it and so on. I look at Mickey as our last connection to a past maybe better reality and i hope he lives to a healthy 101 also.
Lets go Redwings!

Man Buffalo is a mess. They may have better talent than Detroit right now, but they’ve been going 10 years without playoffs and that Jeff Skinner contract makes Nielsen’s deal look like a walk in the park.
Posted by Down River Dan on 02/23/21 at 08:35 PM ET

Last time I was in the thumb
The offer is good in different states. - go to the website if interested - but a knit hat for one case. pretty good deal.
I wish there was more time but i just found out about it last game.
