A2Y- Tough To Watch

03/18/2023 at 12:30pm EDT

Good day and welcome to all, after a much needed few days off. It’s getting tough to watch the Wings knowing the inevitable, but, just waiting for the mathematical end of a “run” toward the playoffs. I honestly don’t think that anyone here is holding out hope for that to happen. One good thing about today’s game is the debut of Simon Edvinsson, and the prospect of maybe seeing some other young players in the coming weeks, until out fate has been all but sealed.

Today we face the Avs who have the distinction, thanks to/with the Wings, of once having the absolute best rivalry in Hockey,(and all of sports)bar none. That may as well be ancient history now…

It’s the Avs vs the Wings. The puck will drop around 1:00 PM and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit and WXYT-97.1(The Ticket). Also available on NHLN, SN1, and ALT.

It’s a Live Blog!

Afternoon, Bitches!

Wings hanging in there it looks like.  But it doesnt take long for the Avs to fill the net with pucks.

I was watching the feckless Wolverines Mens basketball team blow another game in the last 3:00 as theyve done six or eight times this year, the reason they were in the NIT and not the real March Madness in the first place.  Outscored 9-0 in the last :46 with three turnovers.  Unreal.

So Simon Edvinsson was called up?  Good for him.

Hey Bill, enjoying your international trip?

rwbillCalquakeold

Yes for sure.  Fascinating town.  Trying to get my unit furnished and equipped. A long process.

Calquakeoldrwbill

Obviously you've got internet, who needs anything else! :)

rwbillCalquakeold

About $55/mo fiber I can get about 350 mbps in the same room with the wifi router, I can get about 25 mbps up on the roof so still good for some browsing and even video streaming if it holds up.

Calquakeold

one, two, three times the poop

bigfrog

1-3 After two. No finishers on the team.

Calquakeoldbigfrog

Someday, hopefully, we'll find out why we gave away a finisher like Vrana.

rwbill

27 shots still problem getting the puck in the net.  Yes some sort of dealio why we didnt keep the only potent goal scorer weve seen in a few years in Vrana.

Cigar-Nurse

Too many finesse guys who dont want to take a hit or deliver one. 

CalquakeoldCigar-Nurse

The only forward I see that continually finishes his checks is Kubalik.
Great... cinco poop

rwbill

Just when I was aboot to say theyve actually played a pretty good game, but riddled with killer moments.

Kate

Because effing shortys.. Jeebuz Christo! 
Booooooo! 

Calquakeold

Sorry 19, I can't stick around for this poop-fest. Got too many more important things to attend to. Later reprobates.

StargateSG1

Is it just me or is that the most annoying announcer voice we've ever heard?

rwbillStargateSG1

I was trying to convince myself that her voice is not grating.

Katerwbill

Like nails on a chalkboard.(for those of us that know what that is/means)😄😄😄

KateStargateSG1

Its not you, thats for sure. Its bad enough to watch this, but, the broadcasters are sub par at best.

Kate

Thanks for hanging in there folks. Next game 19? 😉

rwbill

Haha in elementary school we students routinely were tasked with cleaning the chalkboard and taking the erasers outside and whacking them.

Katerwbill

Heck, it was an earned privilege in our day..😄😄😄

Cigar-NurseKate

And after the blackboard was erased, we had to use rags with gasoline to finish.
