    Q: Why are the injured Red Wings like Beth Bernstein? A: We only have one good line. Sorry.

    We can't buy a goal right now. If the game was Wheel of Fortune, and the puzzle was a goal, the Wings wouldn't be able to buy a vowel and the puzzle would be (&%$^%*)*(^&^$^%$*&(*^$#)*&

    Every one in that video either has been injured, is out injured, or is playing with a less-than-healthy body. It's cursed, that's what it is.

    I heard that too. I'd take him We really need a goal, and soon. I'm liking Pavel's effort tonight. Hope he can cash in on a goal.

    I just about had heart failure when that puck was just sitting in front of the net and no one was there to shove it in.

    He held the puck and waited for the team to change lines, and I thought to myself, "finally, something he does well." How sad is that?

    I think that whenever I hear Matt. Ooo, Pavel... Please score tonight.

    Hope they get warmed up soon. They're looking sleepy. OT: Happy New Year everyone!

    May vs Boll, Janik vs Picard

    That is the frustrating thing about the "bu-bu-bu we didn't win" people. Winning takes teamwork. Each has his own role to play on the team. If one part of the game fails, the other has to make up for it. If a goalie is faltering, the other players have to push harder defensively. If goals are not being scored, they need to figure out why. If players are being run by thugs, enforcers need to take care of it. If a team scores 10 goals in a game but lets in 11, the goaltending/defensive play needs to be called into question, not the goal scoring. Everyone gets that. You'd never see anyone pop into a thread on goalies after a game like that and cuss out Zata if he had a hat trick in that game. They'd be calling for the goalie's blood. Yet if May (or any enforcer) goes out and does his job and plays his role, a few people pop in and wonder why we didn't win as though there was a correlation. Duh, hello? Winning has to do with goals scored compared to goals let in. Simple as that. If you want stats on fight-to-win ratio, (not counting OT points) it's 50-50. Sure, we didn't win after 2 fights, but Columbus had 2 fights in that game and they did win. See? It works 50% of the time. It's about as dumb as criticizing the PK after killing a tough 5-3 by complaining that they didn't get a shortie. And yet, they do it.

    I had actually started to type a similar thing, but didn't since I know how people react to that sort of thing. Maybe it's just that I want to win this so badly that I don't dare get my hopes up, but I have a bad feeling about tonight. Colorado has been playing well, Anderson has been coming through for them, and we still have a ton of injuries and can't seem to score. I hope the Wings win. GO WINGS!!!!!

    Not so much sci-fi. Loved the Harry Potter series and Chronicles of Narnia. The person below me has an unusual pet.

    The Chris Osgood discussion thread

    Are you kidding? I keep a stock-pile of Valium for when I hear rumours that contract negotiations are heating up. Nothing is worse than coming in here and seeing "Star Player's Name Here resigns!" Who'd have thought that a little hyphen can make the difference between joy and sorrow? Back to topic: One thing about Ozzie- he always sounds confident to the press. No matter how badly things are going, he is always looking forward.

    The person below me game...

    You bet I do!!!!! (Side note: I dug about a bit on witch doctors. In Europe (especially England) in the 18th and 19th centuries, "witch doctors" were doctors who were called upon to negate spells cast by witches. They were not necessarily magical themselves. I wonder if Lilja thinks he's been hexed.) The person below me believes in magic and hexes and stuff.

    This or That

    Oh, man. 2 things I don't like. I guess I'll go with the chili if it's my mom's. She doesn't do spicy. Celery with cheez-whiz or peanut butter?
