Push Back!

For what it's worth, most Wings fans are trying to figure out what's going on. Flashes of brilliance, followed by total darkness. There is plenty of blame to go around, but lately, one or two mistakes seems to lead to a total collapse.
Up until a few games ago this team was always in it until the final buzzer had sounded. Being down by a goal, or even two goals, the team would claw their way back and make a game of it. Win or lose.
Now it seems, whenever an opponent plays hard on the puck and aggressively forechecks, the Wings just wilt, shrink, disappear. With the exception of just a few players, the Wings are soft, and easy to push around.
This is unacceptable and needs to change.The only thing fans are asking for is some real push back, an honest effort, and of course, entertaining hockey.

That reminds me of an old joke about a Chinese airplane crash and the surviving crew was Sum Ting Wong, Whey Tu Lo and Bang Ding Ow. (no offense intended)

Even if it is Arizona, not comfortable with just one goal lead. Or maybe three goal lead.

Unfortunately, this is a real possibility. And the Coyotes know it……

I find it unbelievable that a tv station went on the air pronouncing these names and did not know it was an online joke. Apparently they asked the NTSB and they said Yup that’s the crew. The TV station did soon come back with an apology that these were not their real names.

That’s why it was so hilarious. Talking heads just say what they’re given.

It was hilarious, the tv crew so serious in their rush to be the first with the breaking story. “We too low” and “Some ting wong” wasn’t a tip off lolol.

By the way, it was pronounced Ho Lee Fook.

My lucky half just informed me that he recalled the correct name is Goatsexbear. Having lived outside of Philly and working with Flyers fans, I think he’s probably right. And that really sounds more A2Yish….
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from PA now in SC-made in Detroit on 11/20/21 at 11:10 PM ET
Score one for the lucky half. 
Posted by calquake from Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst on 11/20/21 at 11:12 PM ET
Excited to see the Preying Mantha in action.
Gotta keep Goatsexbear off the scoresheet.
Posted by RedMenace from A Tormented Hellscape on 03/15/16 at 06:45 PM ET
Found it! Yep Goatsexbear it is…..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

There’s something disturbingly off about that name. Good for a hockey night.

Sounds like a name at a Wiccan convention.

Shut My Whore Mouth.
That from an unnecessary icing by Rasmussen. (Was it him?)
Posted by RWBill on 11/20/21 at 11:21 PM ET
Rasmussen should be benched and scratched for that bonehead icing… 
Posted by Down River Dan on 11/20/21 at 11:21 PM ET
He just had to say Buckeye…..
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

There’s also the joke about Tim Buck’d Two.
Posted by RWBill on 11/20/21 at 10:24 PM ET
Then he smoked a cigarette and fell asleep.

Again, shut my whore mouth.
This is 4 points they’ve lost in 3 games. Unless this interference call sticks.
