    3/20 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Canucks 3 (OT)

    Unfortunately, we don't have much option with the injured guys tonight. Maybe this will be like when we played Chicago and went down by 2 and came back to win it. Good times.

    I'd rather see E as a forward than Lebda, but what do I know? Maybe Leb's speed will come in handy.

    Oh, Crap. This will be interesting.

    Am I the only one who finds this ridiculous ?

    Two things... Firstly, the rumours were generated by a puck bunny site. They also say that Lids beats his wife and Homer is *** and his family is a cover-up. They're vicious *******. Might there be truth behind some of the rumours on that site? Sure, it's possible, but until I see proof, the source alone is enough for me to give the player the benefit of the doubt. Secondly, Ozzie needed to be starting here and there a month or two ago. Yes, ride the hot goalie and give Howard the lion's share of the starts (and this is coming from a die-hard Ozzie fan who just loves him to death), but Howie (or any goalie) needs a mental and physical rest on occasion and Ozzie needs to keep in the groove. I doubt that Howard will fail, but there is always the possibility of illness/injury keeping a player out for any length of time from a day to a season. We've sure seen that this year.

    Maybe they should put Jonny in at forward. When he first played defense for us, he wowed us. Maybe he has a good dose of beginner's luck. If they put him in as a forward and he scores, this board will go nuts.

    The person below me game...

    Nope. No children of my own, and my Godson is perfect. I've had problem children in Sunday School, but they are only a once-a-week problem. My poor mother had a problem child. Fortunately for her, my sisters are perfect. She learned to say, "Well, TOUGH!" as though "tough" was a swear word. I still hear myself saying it that way to my SS kids. The person below me never realized how similar "though" "thought" and "tough" were before. Man, you add "through" "thou" and "throughout" and life really gets difficult.

    This or That

    It depends on whose child it is and how much say I have in the matter. If I don't care if they get spoiled and live a life of misery expecting things to go their way, I'll give in. If I am going to have future contact with them and I need to make them realize that they can not push me around, I hold fast (unless it is a very small, tired child who is having a complete meltdown in public- then I just get out). When life overwhelms you: Cry, hit something, or get drunk?

    Hat trick for Flip. Because it's his birthday. Wings win. Because they CAN.

    Favorite Red Wings swede

    This is like saying, "Your choices are sex, chocolate, and money OR chocolate, money, and sex- you choose the amounts of each". You can't lose. Kronwall is #1. Sammy was #2, but now I can't choose a #2. It's just too close to call.

    Plenty of stuff I should do, but I'm not going to do it. The person below me wished Valtteri Filppula a happy birthday this morning.

    This or That

    Paper plates are made in China, but China is not made in Paper plates. Therefore, paper plates win. Happy Birthday, Flip or Happy Flippin' Birthday?

    At the time you posted that, no. Ask me again during another game and I may say differently. One never knows with the Wings. I'm sure that the roster is supposed to max at 23, but with the way they are playing it seems like we have a good and bad version of each player. The person below me likes raisins.

    I wish. They sent me to figure skating since I was a girl. That was back in the day of the cool goalie masks and I didn't get to wear one. The person below me has gotten away with a crime.
