I've got it on right now -- saw the Bertuzzi penalty approximately seven seconds into the game. Just saw Brad May's fight. I guess I was expecting less -- I was mildly impressed with it.

That mustache is something else. More on that later at TPL - stay tuned.

Darren Pang looks like an oompa loompa next to Mike Babcock...who isn't a giant man.

That first Detroit goal is FULL of whiskey-tango-foxtrot. Bizarre.

"Davis Payne" sounds like he should be a golfer. Or Die Hard villain.

Yeah, the more I think about it, J.J. is right. The comeback wasn't that impressive considering that it was a constant thing last season.

And really, the most spectacular goal of the night was from JWilly in the shootout (so that tells you something about it's spectacularity right there. No, that's not a real word but it is now.) All the other goals kinda looked like accidents.

Knowing how it turns out, I'd only watch the third period. Even the comeback wasn't particularly impressive, but it's at least nice to see that we're capable. Well… maybe Datsyuk in OT was really impressive too.

If you want to see the Franzen stache, he was the first intermission interview – you get a good look there.

The Jimmy save everyone was talking about is here (hope this works): http://redwings.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=20092010,2,881&event=STL814&fr=false

There was nothing worth watching. Maybe 1) Mule's stache, 2) Bert's penalty like 30 sec in the game, 3) Jimmy's great save in overtime. I think that's about it!

Krononymous, that's good advice. I do want to see it and the consensus seems to be that it isn't THAT bad.

Ma, if Johnny Ericsson nearly scored, you must have been watching Lost and the game must have taken place on the island, where strange shit happens that no one can explain.

Mauvais, the mustache viewing is truly something I'm jealous of - I need to see what the hubbub is.

Natalie, great minds, am I right? Headed to TSO right now to give you shit...

Dear Michael,

I just wanted to tell you there's a glitch in the Matrix. No, really. We described Chris Hollis the exact same way ("of MW and TOV fame"). I promise I had not read this before I posted my recent thing earlier today.

I am freaked out now and am going to go away for a while.

Sincerely,
Natalie

I would say it's worth watching but perhaps with your finger hovering over the fast forward button.

Plus, the Mulestache is fantastic. I don't care what anyone says. I love it.

Jon Ericcson's assist is a must-see! 😉 (damn you Kris Draper..it maybe, could've, maybe gone in without you)

If you can stand watching the Blues play the puck possession game against the Wings, then watch it. I am not sure we even touched the puck on two of our goals. Pavs had some nice flashes though and there is the Mulestache, of course. Yes, it's foul but I don't care what's on that man's face as long as he's in the line up. Plus, it's kind of retro in an unintentional way.

Watch it for Jimmy and the last few minutes if for no other reason than to hear the Blues' fans boo there own team.
