A2Y- Not Mailing It In

03/20/2023 at 6:30pm EDT

Hiya to all and welcome. It’s been hard to watch these game of late all the way until the last buzzer. That being said, I’ll finish out the season, hopefully witnessing the effort and entertaining aspect, while not going out like losers. I think about Larkin’s comments about not mailing it in.

"We have got to finish things out the right way," captain Dylan Larkin said. "We can't just go out there and not give it our all. We have fans coming to the rink, good crowds and energy in the building."

I’ll finish too, who knows? Maybe we all will… We have the best fans in the Hasek…..

It’s the Panthers vs the Wings. The puck will drop sometime around 7:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit and WXYT-FM 97.1. Also available on NHLN, TVAS, and BSFL.

It’s a Live Blog!

Hola Kate and fellow reproholics, or is it Wingabates? Anyhoo, we have a game with a team the Wings need to beat if they want to improve. L.G.R.W.

Calquakeold

In that spirit... I went to the doctor for my annual checkup and he said, "Cal, you have to stop masturbating." I asked "Why?" He said, "Because I'm trying to examine you." :)

Calquakeold

Ain't gonna win playing like this.

Kate

UGH! Left alone in front of the open net

Calquakeold

Not be mean but... I don't associate the name Erne with scoring.

Annnnd, there's the little deuce poop.

Kate

Thanks frog! Suter!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Kate

Why cant the Wings clear the effing puck for the last 10+ years?

Calquakeold

Aholeness runs in the Tkachuk family.

Calquakeold

damndog, if your still here, I enjoyed your "Probert was Jim Morrison on skates" comment from yesterday very much.

damndogrevengeCalquakeold

Thanks Cal. 

He kind of was. I love Probert. I actually cried when I heard he passed. When I worked in bars downtown in the late eighties, early nineties he would come in and chat me up. He could be a dick at times but always cool with me.

I have his rookie card, and many others. I paid $6 for it in like 1987 I think. My fave card, which is not his rookie card, I think its an Upper Deck, and hes sporting stitches under his eye.

Evenin Bitches!

Just turned 6 pm here and got back to the place.  Im not gonna waste time going through the first peirod to see all four Detroit shots.  Reading comments was enough but the jokes made it worth while. 

It seems like you could just copy and paste the comments from one live blog to the next the last three weeks, or six years.

Katerwbill

Glad youre here, lurking? 
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbillKate

No Im full on committed.  To the game and LB, and maybe should be to the nuthouse.

Marketing Guy: How many ad servers do you think we can fit on one screen?

Li'l Gary: Let's find out!

Calquakeold

I'm becoming concerned that the Wings won't win the Cup in what remains of my lifetime. I know they will make the playoffs but they seem a long way away from contending.
Annnd the terrible three poops strikes.

KateCalquakeold

Look Quaker, we may be old, but, were not elderly. 😉☘☘☘

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

CalquakeoldKate

Yet... which reminds me of the old joke: What's a woman's yet?

I don't know but I read where a woman was shot and the bullet's in her yet.

rwbill

I know hes not a saviour, but it seems like Chiasson has made more offensive impact in a few games than has Zadina. Those seem to be as a result of just being in the right place, but thats a big part of it anyway.

damndogrevengerwbill

Zadina is going to be filling nets with tadpoles the way he is going. Butterflies may be too fast for him

damndogrevenge

Wings going on the power play

Kate

No shoot, no score Shoot the effin puck! More Shoot!

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

rwbill

Sweet Sassy Molassy that was reminiscent of the slow Wings PP of years gone by, players holding on to the puck, passing to someone else who held on to the puck just shifting back and forth.  Easy to defend.

damndogrevenge

Czar Nicholas hit the Post!

rwbill

On a more fun note, today communicating with a friend from elem and jr high and high school days, we used to repeat Al Sleet hippy dippy weatherman routines.  He just reminded me of that today and literally laughed out loud playing a 1966 bit on Johnny Carson, the radar also picked up a squadron of Russian ICBMs, so I wouldnt sweat the thunderstorms.  Funny, and its also resurfacing as topical humor.

Cigar-Nurse

Hola 19. Just got in from work and see yall lamenting. Watching the Wings is like pounding nails and ya keep hitting your fingers. It hurts,but ya keep at it. Ill be here as long as you all stick around. LGRW 

rwbill

we may be old, but, were not elderly.


I watched a quick video of myself I made this morning showing someone how to do something, and couldnt believe that some old man jumped in and appeared on the screen instead.

damndogrevenge

Pius cannot have the lone goal two games in a row!

Please 

rwbill

WTF Vrana has 5 goals in 7 games with StL?  Retaining one of the highest goals per /60 min in the league.

Calquakeoldrwbill

We're never gonna know the real story, it's all speculation at this point. However this appears to be a blemish in the Yzerplan.

rwbill

Stay Awhile, let me hold you !

OK!!

She really belted out some songs,   I Only Want to Be With You  and You Dont Have to Say You Love Me

Katerwbill

The only one who could ever reach me, was the Son of the Preacher Man yes he was..😉

rwbillKate

Haha I knew a preachers kid who turned into an absolute slut when she got married and moved away from the excessive constraints of her parents.

Calquakeold

Is Fabbri ever going to stay healthy?

rwbill

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Haha its great to have a live organist in the arena.

Calquakeoldrwbill

The long version. 17 minuets I think?

rwbillCalquakeold

Yes something like that, the fans might be better entertained if he played the entire 17 minutes.

Cigar-Nurse

Gudas gives and receiving a hip check. Some schadenfrude?  

Calquakeold

4 poops is a lotta poops, too many poops.

rwbill

OH JFC they didnt call the hold against Larkin but then called the hold by Larkin.

Cigar-Nurse

Bad pinch leads to a 2 on oh and another pound of the hammer. Sigh. 

Kate

Thank yall for making this bearable. Tomorrah then?

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Calquakeold

I just wanna take this time to thank y'all for sticking around and making this one of the strongest and humorous LB's ever. Good job. Later reprobates.  

rwbill

I saved the Peloton of Suck chart to the cloud so I could work on it while away, but when tried to work on it it said the mobile device Excel version couldnt use the version of file I saved, so sumbitch.

damndogrevenge

Thank you Kate! 

Good night all!

rwbill

There is another grating voice on NHL Network

rwbill

I entered lots of sumbitches tonight for only two periods of watching.

Cigar-Nurse

I got nuthin. Many thanks to yall for gutting this oot. Until tomorrow.
