Loss Candy :: Hotter than the Sedins?!
FINAL SCORE 2-1 Canucks
Loss Candy :: Suckerpunch’d
FINAL SCORE 5-4 Penguins in a shootout. TIDBITS :: What a hell of a hockey game this was. First it was a shit show, as Jimmy Howard gave up some cheapies and the Wings were down 4-0. Four unanswered goals in an electric building, and perfect hockey from Joey MacDonald, allowed the Wings to climb […]
Loss Candy :: Time for an “Adjustment”
I have nothing to say. What a craptastic way to end the road trip and lead us in to H2H2. Petrella will have more on the pledges at some point, but for now I’ll let the loss candy do the talking. Tonight’s offering is based on “The Adjustment Bureau,” which Petrella and I both saw […]
Loss Candy :: Are You Surprised?
Final 3-1 SanJo (Hi Mr. P!) Thoughts Do I really need to go through this game again? I think it was pretty easy to see where things went wrong last night. A red-hot team in their own barn conspired against the Wings from the start, and when you add no jump from the Wings and […]
Loss Candy :: Share the Blame
Final 2-1 Ducks in OT (Hi Mr. P) Thoughts Of course, we’ll start with the the play of the night: Ruslan Salei’s “hooking” call in OT on the Ryan breakaway. There’s not a doubt in my mind that it was the wrong call and it seems like every single person in the Wings locker room […]
Loss Candy :: Trading Dallas for Brooklyn
FINAL SCORE Dallas 4-1. PLEDGE STORY Tonight: $319.37 Total to-date: $4850.92 TIMBITS :: Forget the play-by-play, this seemed like one of those nights were an average-ish goaltender elevated his game to play out of his mind against the Red Wings, and a few unfortunate bounces went the other way. Kari Lehtonen and the Stars haven’t […]
Loss Candy :: Five In A Row Was Nice
Since we didn’t get a pregame up before the San Jose game, I’ll offer up a few of the regular “tidbits” in the postgame instead. Don’t thank me all at once. Bert: Fresh off of his moment of glory in Minnesota, Big Bert’s follow-up act is a clunker against an opponent who could have playoff […]
Loss Candy: …Um…Yea. Loss Candy.
32 seconds. That’s the exact amount of time I watched in tonight’s game. It was all I needed to watch. I turned the stinkfest on just in time to watch the puck get centered to Jarret Boll and go behind Jimmah, and I figured my Friday night would probably be better spent on the couch […]
The Impossible is Possible: WIIM Defeats TPL
There’s no surprise in me telling you that the regular weekend parties at TPL world headquarters are not to be missed. Mysterious women. Extravagant food. Alcohol by the Mack truckload. Many a man and woman have emerged from TPLand on a Sunday morning (or afternoon), squinted their eyes and wondered aloud “What the hell just […]
