Some amazing things can happen in the space of 60 minutes. Bob Seger's "Live Bullet" album launched his mainstream career and the Rolling Stones managed to be sober and cohesive long enough to put together their finest work "Exile on Main St.", both clocking in at just over 60. Even Beethoven's 9th Symphony comes in around the 60 minute mark. All of them are timeless and seminal efforts.
For some reason our Red Wings just can't put in the effort for a full 60. As Ken Daniels pointed out yesterday there are Sloppy Seconds. Unfortuantely there are also Taintastic Thirds and Fuch-it Firsts. For some reason ever since the Sweet Baby Jesus brought Cup #11 to its rightful home in Detroit, the team has stopped playing complete games and started phoning in periods and entire games at a time.
Mule, once hungry for goals, now floats like driftwood for stretches at a time. Among the 19 this puts him up Shit's Creek with a turd for a paddle, to quote Ween. Thankfully for some the Mule will not be in the lineup. According to Malik he is being replaced by the long-awaited return of Mikael Samuelsson. Wait, I meant Darren Helm whose work as God has been sorely missed around here.
