    1/14 GDT : Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    Sounds like it. Love Milbury calling Pierre out on his Crosby love.

    BerZZ! Looked like a penalty shot with a trailer.

    Nice timing on the "booga" Dawn. Oh, whine a little more Edzo. "Not fair to Crawford". Bleh. Make me sick. Go Homer! Go Ian! Go Wings!

    1/14 GDT : Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    I've just noticed how much Doc says "rattled". I never noticed it before, but I think we can add it to the Doc Bingo game.

    1/14 GDT : Blackhawks 2 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    OH MY GOSH!!!!! This is actually on NBC! The real NBC, not the spinoff formerly known as VS. Usually they advertise something on NBC and I get excited and then I find out that it's not on NBC for reals, but this time IT IS! I'm so happy I could kiss Hudler! On the lips, even! WOOHOO! Go Wings!

    Cammalleri traded

    As far as I know, Flip is the best French-speaker on the team. And they can't have him. He's ours. EDIT: This just in: In the GDT there's a blurb where Commie talks about speaking French. We know who can go.

    Next Captain?

    Dang. And I was going to post something. Who makes these decisions, anyway? This kind of reminds me of when they were getting cranky in Montreal because Saku Koivu didn't speak French. We all love Pavel, but consider how many times the microphone is in Lids' face simply because he's the captain. Pavel doesn't strike me as one who likes the media spotlight or doing the interviews. He is a great player and good role model to the younger players, which is why he definitely deserves the A. I'm kind of glad that Z is an all-but-foregone conclusion. I'd rather have Pavel be able to focus on his game and do his thing. In all honesty, and I admit that I'm biased, I think Kronwall would make a good captain. He's always the guy getting interviewed, and he does well. This is not saying he's a better choice than Pavel and/or Hank. Just saying that he'd be good.

    <hugs, dear> If the game is televised in heaven, my dad has probably invited your dad over for beer and hockey. I'll be thinking of you today. Take care.

    The person below me game...

    I never make mistakes. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTHAHAHAHA. I can't type that with a straight font. Yes, I can admit it. The person below me doesn't understand what our society has against being corrected. I mean, seriously, do you want to go around being wrong in front of everyone for the rest of your life or be humbled for a moment, after which you will do it right and no one will think ill of you on that account any more?

    Congratulations to Jimmy Howard

    I'm so glad no one listened when I said I didn't think Howard could do it and we should trade him. Congrats, Jimmy! It barely took you any time at all to totally win me over, and now I love the daylights out of you!

    Zetterberg Trade Rumor

    I didn't even know there was such a thing as an oyster fork. Maybe we should trade Zetterberg for one. Not Hank Zetterberg, of course. Milton Zetterberg. He mows the lawn for Kenny Holland. I heard he was looking to get some other kid to do it instead. Some hockey player...

    Oh, gosh, that would be cool. The person below me did not think of hockey as the first option for a holodeck.

    Usually I prefer solitude, but I do like to get together with friends at times. Puerto Rico or Fiji?

    The person below me game...

    I had every episode taped. I LOVED that show. It combines comedy and tools, with a nice splash of Detroit sports. What's not to love? The person below me has heard a noise on the tv and not realized it was on the tv and freaked out.

    Study done on fighting in hockey

    Exactly. Abby goes out and does the job that time, but when will it happen next? Who do we have that will actually go out there and get it done? We have a couple who could, but who will? At the rate we get into fights, it only effects us a small amount of the time. If we had a person who was our designated fighter, like a Downey or Drake type who knew his role and made the most of it, it would help us for more than once every other season or so. If Abby takes fighting lessons, or if someone else steps up, I'll be tickled, but for now, the Vancouver game is a lonely event in a string where the events are few and far between.

    Yes, that worked. Thank you. I didn't realize he had a son. So sad.

    Study done on fighting in hockey

    No. Teams with an enforcer in the line-up have better games for five minutes 75% of the time following a fight if they were doing poorly before the fights. Or, for the namby-pamby panty-waists out there: If the Wings ever had a day when they weren't playing well (also called "playing the Islanders"), a fight might help them for 1/12 of the game 3/4 of the time we actually do it, which translates into an average of 2.5 minutes per season as the team stands at this point.

    The person below me game...

    No need. My store is always the best, plus I have my discount card. (Plus gas prices are pretty close around here unless a store jumps for whatever reason.) The person below me has been in some sort of league.

    This or That

    I tend to settle, although if it is a long-term investment, I might go whole-hog. Fiscally responsible or live it up?
