I don't go to work until 11 pm, so almost. The person below me is kicking themselves for missing an opportunity.

Hudler? If he starts scoring like he has been in the last couple of games, he'd qualify as "redeemed".

You did not just say that. I think Eaves has what it takes to play on the top lines, and he seems comfortable on the lower lines. This is the kind of player I love. He brings both the ability to add a scoring threat to the bottom lines when we are healthy, and a perfectly respectable replacement in case of injuries. And now, a hat trick. Congrats to him. We are deep, my friends. Deep.

You know, now that I look around, I didn't. The person below me would prefer the five golden rings over any of the rest of the gifts.

DYI unless it involves electricity, in which case I respect the volts or anything with my car where it could cause an accident or me being stranded if done wrong. Be a part or be apart?

Wings win 4-1 Wings: Mursak, Hudler, Kindl, Helm (because that's all that's left) Stars: Kronner breaks a stick attempting to clear. The puck goes off Flip's butt, is fanned by Bertuzzi, the breeze from which redirects the puck and sends it bouncing off Ott's skate and into the net.

Oh, yes! I'm going to work! Whee! The person below me senses sarcasm only when it is blatant.

Sneeze. Less chance of problems. Play and lose or not play at all?

I don't dispute that, but why are they called Q-tips? Why not P-tips or something?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I could cheer for Red Sox if, say, I put some red sox in the washer and forgot to take the temp off hot and they came out red rather than pink and didn't get dye on anything. It's all in the situation. What? Are they moving it in to the old Igloo? Hey, what could be a more "classic" location than the place where the only legitimate dynasty of this generation last hoisted the Cup?

Nope. Still growing it. The person below me wishes they could bitchslap posts made by ignorami.

West. Butter or margarine?

Some are. Some aren't. Some will be watching. Some have other plans. Some aren't interested in games that don't effect the Wings. Some don't care for the Pens and/or Caps. Some will sit in a corner with their arms folded across their chests and their lower lip stuck waaaaaaaay out, kicking their feet if they don't get enough attention because the league likes Sidney. Some of us will be cheering for the Penguins because you know what happens to the winner of the Winter Classic. <heh heh heh heh heh>

Tickled three shades of pink. The person below me can name, without looking it up, the other 400 game winners in NHL history.

Conditioner is pretty useless without shampoo, so I guess I'll take the poo. Corn chips or potato chips?

Whether it's booze, drugs, or some other problem, it's going to be twice as hard to deal both with the problem and the fact that it's public knowledge. Best wishes to him on his immediate recovery and sustaining his recovery. Then, of course, I'll be back to cheering against him when he's on the ice.

Motrin, actually, but some Tylenol PM is good for what ails you if you have time to sleep it off. Pack your lunch, pick up something on the way, go out, or dine off the vending machine?

<checks gender> Nope. The person below me uses a heating pad.

Wonder if Ozzie and Budaj will fight at centre ice or if those days are truly over. Nah... they're over. Budaj isn't the ***** Wahhhh was. Still, if I have to pick a team for Ozzie to get the 400 against, the Avs would be high on that list. After all, he was a part of that rivalry. His friends were key in that rivalry. Win 400 against them would be a nice footnote. Go Wings! Make it happen!

Glad he's ours for life.

Datsyuk. Because he's magical. Make New Year's resolutions, or don't?

Can't stop the hands of time. The person below me is going to work today.

I have been to a couple of Minn. games. The fans I have run into have all been very nice people. Love the Death Stare. It is so handy when used correctly. So glad you and the boys had fun.

Don't they come as a set? Wine or whiskey?

Sure! The person below me would like another Wings victory.
