A2Y- I’ve Got Nothing

04/11/2023 at 6:30pm EDT

Heya folks and welcome to all. Last night was a disaster, so let’s just get this game over with. I’ve got nothing….…

It’s the Wings vs the Hurricanes. The puck drops around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit). Also available on NHLPP/ESPN+ and BSSO.

It’s a Live Blog!

Hola Katie and fellow suffering reprobates. I am now actively rooting for the Wings to lose out. The season is done. Winning is irrelevant at this point. It's all aboot draft position now. L.L.R.W. (let's lose Red Wings)

Calquakeold

Larkin oot. L.L.R.W. :)

Ned in net. The plan is working.

Hi Kate and Cal

I'm not watching the game. Sitting outside playing with the dogs enjoying the nice weather. I was going to pop on here last night but passed out on the couch. 

I hope you both had a Good Easter.

Carolina is motivated tonight - division on the line.  


A win tonight for the Wings would be no more injuries.

0-2 Looks like a repeat of last night.

Calquakeold

At least Perron seems to care. L.L.R.W.

Evenin Bitches!

If not actually tanking on purpose theyre making it look as such.

Outscored 2-13 in the last 7 periods.

Given up 20 goals the last 3 1/3 games.

I missed the news about Larkin, just in case they were going to try tonight maybe.

TIL in 1954 the Detroit Red Wings held an exhibition match against inmates at Marquette prison.

The game had its pros and cons.

I believe that made it into The Sporting News. I have that edition buried in my 'library'.

 What do the Detroit Red Wings and the Titanic have in common? 

They both look good until they hit the ice!

rwbill

With the disturbing play of the Red Wings staring me in the face this afternoon I am treating myself by resurrecting the tiramisu and espresso tradition.  I may be bouncing off the walls like pucks off the back of the Wings net.

Hola 19. In my easy chair after work and see the usual. 8 sog so far. 2nd verse same as the first. LLRW

Cigar-Nurse

Well blow me down. SeaHagg scores. 

Calquakeold

we're on our way poop L.L.R.W.

Cigar-Nurse

Veleno butts one in for them.

Heres a personal funny/tragic story involving PNC Arena.  I got tickets to the Game 3 of the 2002 SCF in Raleigh which the Wings won in the third OT at aboot 1:05 am on a Larionov backhand over the shoulder of Latvian goalie Arturs Irbe.

The next week I thought the ticket would be a great keepsake and decided to make a copy of it.  When I pulled open the cover on the copy machine I discovered the light had turned the ticket stub black and unreadable!  

Haha that is so funny it still hurts.

damndogrevengerwbill

That's crazy. I have not heard of anything like that. How does that happen?

rwbill

Wheres this guy, doing the Santa Claus impersonation?  PNC Arena October 3, 2013.

Calquakeoldrwbill

It seems the blond lady sitting behind me appears to be strangling me. Go figure.

Cigar-Nurse

Do you still have the picture of the 19 and where we are geographically?

Kate

LLRW

rwbill

We have had some great and unusual times.  Im glad we did when we had the opportunity.  Father Time aint never lost one yet.  The best you can do is take it to overtime.

rwbill

Havent seen or heard from Andrew (coat with passports) in three or four years or more, and little since about 2010.  I did meet and pal around with him in Stockholm a little.

bigfrog

1-4 Put the lid on another stinker.

Cigar-Nurse

Calquakeold

That should wrap things up. Later reprobates. L.L.R.W.

Cigar-Nurse

Mission accomplished. LLRW. Until Thursday, good night 19.
