I'm not going to lie. I'd forgotten about this thing until about thirty minutes ago. Thankfully for you, I usually only need about six minutes to type a standard fact-based, non-biased work of art to keep you happy for a pop or two.
The Hawks are undefeated, invincible, a wrecking ball of talent and starch.
The Wings are battered, Helm-less, down three defensemen and laden with rookies, castoffs and Swiss men.
Surely, all signs point to a Chicago walk in the park.
Right?
It's a Live Blog, bitches.

Babcock said we’d have to get used to watching DET grind games out.
I guess he knew what he was talking aboot

Well at least that looked like a power play for a minute there.

This Lashoff kid looks like he belongs in the pros, unlike Quincey.

Not quite as threatening as CHI has been five-on-five, but we’re looking for any small glimmer of hope right?

To obvious to call

The sarcasm around this damn place is causing my laptop to melt a little.

If not for Hossa’s couple of misses - - it could have been worse.

smear some of the cheese from the game on that
Posted by NIVO from underpants gnome village on 01/27/13 at 08:46 PM ET
so shots on goal are 11-11
why does it feel like the wings should be down 4 nothing?

The scariest phrase utter yet “Quincey and Smith manning the blue line on the power play…”
We can do this. I think Brunner’s gonna bag another one in the 2nd.

Larry Murphy is seeing hot dogs right now.

I know I’m in the minority here, but aside from those giveaways to Hossa, I thought that was a half way decent period. At least they weren’t chasing the Hawks around for the entire twenty minutes.

Simple, they have Hossa, we have Franzen. I trace the decline of the Wings to that development.

I’m with you there. We saw much worse in the St. Louis game.

Not me, I was busy making you think you needed a couple of drinks.
Posted by dougie on 01/27/13 at 08:54 PM ET
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend the past few games: the opposing team taps their sticks whenever Detroit is awarded a power-play.
Not sure what to think if that.

Michigan just beat Illinois in basketball. Should get the number 1 seed tomorrow.. So at least someone beat a team in Il..

My daughter and I were watching UHF and I realized “Oh shit…game on soon, better go to A2Y and see what the Chief has thrown together to fire us up…”
ooops.
Forgive me 19 for I have sinned….

Hey guys.
Herm told me you were talking about Murph’s glasses. This is my first FSD game of the season. I was at work when they made their debut so I missed them. Holy hell. Nobody warned me.

I said the exact same thing last night,
Of course, it was midnight, so it was more like, “The tradehossa Wings not tradegood prrftttttmpprey trade declinetradehossafranzenmrrrtfftp”
Most people understood.
Posted by Red Winger from Sault Ste Marie on 01/27/13 at 09:00 PM ET
watching UHF
that’s a good movie.

Clark Kent or HamBurgler? The controversy rages on.
Posted by calquake on 01/27/13 at 09:01 PM ET
Hey, persons.
Posted by Guilherme from Brazsil on 01/27/13 at 07:54 PM ET
We were a bit worried about you Herm.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 01/27/13 at 09:02 PM ET
What are we waiting on….geez.. Kane and one of the refs still back in the dressing room together?

I don’t know who said this one, by my vote is for Hot Doggler.

Thanks, but why exactly?
Posted by Guilherme from Brazsil on 01/27/13 at 09:04 PM ET
I am totally stumped as to who in the hell told Murph those glasses looked good on him.
My wife walked through the room, saw them, and just started laughing.

I’m thinking they came from a promotion regarding buying glasses and getting free hotdogs.
