WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN? First of six matchups against those clowns from Chicago this year. First “episode” of Star Wars pregame themes. We’re hoping that starting with Episode 1 (the shittiest one) doesn’t translate to a shitty performance on the ice tonight for the Wings. Red Wings and Hawks, 8:30 PM Eastern. FSD has you […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Mr. P!) 4-1 Wings THE RUNDOWN I was watching the game while working, so my observations are sporadic, but the Wings looked good tonight. Real good. They finally potted a win on the road, against a team who notoriously gives us trouble. Cleary, in his post game interview, attributed at least partially […]
WHEN AND WHERE? Red Wings vs. Predators, in Nashville, 8:00 PM Eastern. Game is on FSD and FSTN. WHERE WERE WE? :: Detroit lost to Calgary last Thursday, despite a third period rally. That feels like forever ago. :: Predators lost to the Stars on Friday, 6 to 3. :: This is the third out […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Mr. P!) 4-2 Whales THE RUNDOWN We all give Mike Babcock alot of grief around here for using the same tired quotes when the Wings take one solidly on the chin. So then it’s extra fitting that when watching the first period of the shitshow in Vancouver, the first thing that pops […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Mr. P!) 3-2 Red Wings THE RUNDOWN It sure as hell wasn’t pretty, which makes the ending even more fitting. The Captain unleashes a blast, Miller re-directs it and Dan Cleary winds up on his ass on the ice. That’s the kind of Red Wings hockey I like to see. I’m willing […]
WHEN AND WHERE? Oh hey there. Nice to see you again. You may remember me as one of the folks who writes things around here. How are things? Good? Excellent. Let’s get to it. Red Wings and Oil, 9:30 PM Eastern. FSD has you covered. WHERE WERE WE? :: Detroit crushed the Kings on Saturday, […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) 4-3 Predators THE RUNDOWN Son of a bitch. Strong game from the Wings, poor third period, wheels popped off, and we’re left feeling like “we’re holding our ankles, biting a pencil” to borrow a Disch phrase. BULLETS OF IMPORTANCE Tomas Holmstrom started the scoring off, netting his sixth of the season. […]
FINAL SCORE (Hi Dad!) 4-1 Red Wings THE RUNDOWN I watched the game after I got home from a game of my own, so everyone’s already read all the good news. Malkin and Staal DID suit up, which is great news because playing a team without their top three centers isn’t satisfying. When you beat […]
WHY DID YOU BRING ME TO A GAY STEEL MILL? My boys travel into the town I now call home to take on the least rapey of all Steeltown sports clubs. I live less than 7 miles from the old Igloo (which is being slowly dismantled each day) and the new arena, The Anvil CONSOL […]
