Nov. 1 :: We’ve Got Pie!

Before we get into the pregame, there’s some leftover business from the weekend that needs to be taken care of… Great. Now that your Halloween themed loss candy is out of the way, let’s get down to business… WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN It’s another go ’round with the guys from Minnesota. 7:30 pm Eastern. Joe […]

WTyF? Yes, there’s Loss Candy

The Final (Hi Dad!) 4-1 Blue Jackets. The Skinny So this could have gone one of two ways: 1) a repeat of 96 hours ago, where the Red Wings had their way with their half-retarded neighbors to the south, firmly entrenched in the living hell that is Ohio. Or 2) the Blue Jackets finally found […]

You Can’t Win Them All (Well, the Caps Still Could…)

Final (Hi Mr. P!) Caps 7, Red Wings 1 Thoughts For a team that talked all week about “wanting to get back to playing”, the Wings sure didn’t look that interested in participating in Saturday’s heavyweight tilt against the Capitals for the first 30 minutes. The Embarrassment that it is Mike Green and his Edmund Dantes goatee […]

About Last Night: Quick Thoughts from 3-2 Loss

Hockey is back, and although it’s only preseason hockey, that’s as good of a reason as any to dust off the cynicism and overanalyze the hell out of the 3-2 Wings loss to the Penguins last night. OK, I’m not ACTUALLY going to overanalyze anything because – as we mentioned – this was just a […]

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 […]

Loss Candy :: They Said It

Final (Hi Mr. P) Blackhawks 4 Red Wings 2 Thougths Who better to tell you how this one went than the involved parties. I know I’m sure as hell not wasting my time recapping another piss poor effort from this team… Babcock: “We got down 3-0 or 4-0, and I don’t know if we ever […]

Loss Candy :: Everybody Coming Up Short

Final (Hi Mr. P) Canes 3 Wings 0 Thoughts Before we go any further here, let me offer the sincerest of apologies for not getting a pre-game post up today. While we thoroughly enjoy entertaining all of you before and after every Wings game, there’s always some times when real life has to intervene, and […]

Loss Candy :: We’ve Got Some Work to Do

Final (Hi Mr. P) Blues 10 Wings 3 Thoughts What is there really to say other than the Red Wings just don’t get it. They don’t come to play when the games still count. They don’t look like a team that’s capable of winning a Stanley Cup, let alone a single playoff series. They just […]

DOUBLE Loss Candy! :: The Pain is Only Temporary

FINAL (Hi Mr. P!) Hawks 3 Wings 2 (OT) Thoughts I’ll hold off on the Bertuzzi hit until later, as I think we’ve finally hit the situation that so many of us have been secretly worrying about ever since the hit on Steve Moore. I’ll preface the forthcoming article with this: From where this blogger […]
