The Audacity of Hope

Final Red Wings 4 Sharks 3 Sharks lead the series 3-2. Thoughts When these playoffs opened, Mike Babcock laid out the phrase “Race to Four” when describing how the Red Wings would approach each series. If that mantra carried over to this series against the Sharks, then the Red Wings are playing the part of […]

May 8 :: I See It Now

WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN?! Game 5. Win or go home. The Wings have survived one elimination scare, and the next test comes tonight in SanJo. We’ve been in this situation before, with this entire series feeling like the five gamer we had with the Sharks last season. The Wings will look to finally break the […]

One Step At A Time

(Ed. Note: With all of Team TPL travelling, there’s no analysis tonight. Just enjoy the fact the Wings will play another day and enjoy a tall, stiff drink wherever you may be.) Final Red Wings 4 Sharks 3 Sharks lead the series 3-1. Thoughts See you Sunday.

May 6 :: If I Should Lose You

WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN?! Game 4. Win or go home. Which is only a short car drive away for the Red Wings, but it’s still home. Personally, I’ve set up shop in the California Bay Area in order to inflict the maximum amount of pain and suffering on myself should the season wrap up tonight. […]

Mercy Is Granted: Loss Candy, Take 2

OK, OK. Enough suffering. Here’s some actual loss candy to hopefully make the night a bit better. Also, this is post 800 for TPL, so we wanted it to be something good. Enjoy. Loss Candy Diora Baird gets the nod tonight for those into ladies. William Levy is your prize if you are into men.

Loss Candy :: Whitney Has Forsaken Us

FINAL Sharks 4, Red Wings 3 (OT) Sharks lead the series 3-0. Thoughts? It’s obviously just not meant to be. The Wings had another lead in the third period, squandered it and wind up losing in OT. Say what you want about it. Blame Ericsson. Blame Howard. Blame Babcock. Blame the special teams. It doesn’t […]

May 4 :: We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming…

San Jose Is the Only Way

When I was a kid – about 12 years old – growing up in Plymouth, Michigan, I lived in a pretty large subdivision. It wasn’t anything super flashy and there weren’t three story houses on every block, but it did well enough for us. The subdivision itself was huge; about a mile North to South […]

Taking Care Of Business

Final (Hi Mr. P!) Red Wings 6, Coyotes 3 (Red Wings win series 4-0) Thoughts I always find it difficult to write about a game that played out pretty much the way you thought it would. No, I’m not trying to claim clairvoyance or anything along those lines. Rather, it’s a matter of understanding the […]
