A2Y- Live From Western Canada

02/13/2023 at 9:30pm EST

Kate is a late scratch and now considered day-to-day.

The Wings are 9-9-5 on the road this season, are 5-4-1 in their last ten games and are on a 2 game winning streak.

Since 2002, I have had fond memories of Vancouver and expect the same feeling tonight.

It's a late evening live blog!

Let's roll... be well Kate. L.G.R.W.

bigfrog

A late one tonight. Come back soon Kate.

Hola 19. Early day tomorrow and will catch up with yall then. 
Valentine for you all on the eve. 
My love for you all is like diarrhea. I just cant hold it in. 
LGRW.

Evenin Bitches, or I guess its Butches tonight without Kate around.

Lets see how this goes.  John Keating is making too much of the west coast part of this schedule.

rwbill

good of Rasmussen to play in Vancouver with family around.

I remember one trip to Buffalo against Ryan Miller in goal, Babcock scratched Drew Miller with their parents in the arena and put in Pat Eaves.  They did often replace each other in those roles but I always thought that was some intentional bitch slap by Babcock because Miller was frequently in the lineup and Eaves out, in those days.

Gotta say Babcock doesnt seem like a very good person.  Players arent gonna tolerate that long term.  Hes lucky not to have same rep as Tortorella.

He screwed Modano out of a milestone career number game, and then held out Jason Spezza in Toronto with his family in the crowd. What goes around, comes around.


bezukov

Larkin looks like he found another gear tonight.

I was in the ESPN Zone in Las Vegas, which is no longer there, during that Vancouver playoff series in the lead video above.  There was a couple from Vancouver BC next to me at the bar and they pretty much gave up on the series when that shot went in, although it was about dead even I think at the time.

Paulrwbill

The Canucks actually won games 1 & 2 in Detroit.  Vancouver fans were talking sweep but they never won another game.

rwbill

Sweet Sassy Molassy Larkin has been leading by example at another level the last weeks.  Jet speed and great hands to finish.

rwbill

Geez Larkin again.  Stuck his nose right in the crease.

Can he finally get another hat trick?  Got two periods.  And 4.9 seconds !

Calquakeold

Larkin looking like a 9 mil x 8 yr player? What say you reprobates?

Evening 19. I see The Emperor in the catbird seat and hear the lovely and gracious Kate is under the weather. I trust she is on the mend.


With a bedtime of 9:00 Pm I marvel at how all y'all stay up!!


LGRW !!!!!

At least we don't have to do this multiple times a year when the Wings were in the West.  I actually held my eyelids open one game.

But it was all worth it over the years.

Hey, Larkin has 4 goals in four periods against the Canucks.

bigfrog

2-1. Let them back into the game.

bezukov

Big time goal.  Delia no likey.  

rwbill

Bertuzzi and Ras mucking it up and causing chaos.  

rwbill

My High School Principal had a wooden lower left leg from a WWii injury.  When we graduated I didnt leave an apple on his desk, I left a can of lemon pledge.  

bezukov

Zadina for boarding?  Didnt think he had it in him.  Also, dumb penalty.  

rwbill

Man its a miracle, or luck, that Vancouver didnt score there.

rumbear

I made it to the third... the fade out will come...

bezukov

Nice goal.  Wish ESPN had brought me back from commercial before it happened.

rwbill

Nice crash the net goal.  its nice to be abusing a team in front of the net instead of being abused.

rwbill

And a fifth!  And not the drinking kind.

rumbear

C'mon me boys!! Let's do this!!


LGRW !!!!!

rwbill

At this score there wont be an en situation for Larkin to get his hat trick.

rumbearrwbill

Amen!  That leads to a chat aboot $8.5 for 8! (Then we can talk reparations for the Blashill years!)

rwbill

Holy Crap that must be a ten year record for most consecutive passes by the Wings! 

rumbear

Holy Cats!!! Bingo Bango!! What a shift!! 

Calquakeold

Thanks to all you late night reprobates. Later.

rwbill

There was extraordinary effort early on by Larkin and others so it turned out to look easy.  Vancouver isnt very good.

rwbill

Until next time, reprobates.  And that one will be Mountain Time, not Specific Time.

rumbear

Good from the Left Coast!
