@Rob — thrilled you could check out the game. It was a dandy. How 'bout that Todd.

@Andy — the photo that I took (that will adorn the post-game) might make a good banner if he hits 20, as suggested by @jennyquarx via Twitter. Although, I'll still try to come up with something better, and feel free to chime in.

Travel game watching update – flight was delayed, but the "Double Nickel"…aka I-55 heading into Chicago…more than made up for the cushion. Scrapped pre-flight plans to watch the game but…miracle of miracles, the on-flight interwebs are steaming along and I'm watching the game via the Center Ice package. There's something about hearing Mick's soothing tones here in seat 5A that screams "we're officially IN THE FUTURE."

Ground delay is at 1 hour now so you look good for a full 40 minutes but I wouldn't bet against the entire game. They've got the Delay Index as "Excessive" as if that's not some how normal there.

Good luck.

Just reviewed my itinerary from ORD to DFW. First reaction was "damn, 6 PM flight…6 PM game start time…gonna miss this one." …and then I realized I was flying out of Ohare, home of the everlasting flight delay.

What's the over/under on number of periods I get to see before my delayed flight takes off? I'll start with a full 20 minutes.

Have fun tonight Michael. I hope Bertuzzi makes you like a complete and utter arse… Have you come up with any ideas for your side of the bet yet?

Have fun at the Joe tonight. I will be watching it on TV with my Christmas leftovers.

November 11th... God, that feels like forever ago. That was when I was getting excited about the Wings' ability to score. That was (or was it the game before?) when Bertuzzi couldn't put the puck in the net when the goalie was looking the other direction without a clue. That was when two or three injuries seemed like a lot. What a long way we've come since.

Would you be really offended if "Bertuzzi scored nine times to make you look like an asshole" given the current scoring struggles the Wings are having? :-)

Have fun at the game tonight. Here's to hoping Bertuzzi does, indeed make you look like an asshole. Hell, at this point, I'm only about two hundred more consecutive shutouts away from saying that I'd be ok if the Wings signed Claude Lemieux to a contract if it guaranteed us goals.
