And while we're at it: God jul Hauskaa joulua РадоÑтный РождеÑтво (Used a translator- hope they all say Merry Christmas)

Merry Christmas, y'all. Happy New Year, too.

That's what she said.

I want healthy, happy, successful Wings. I also want to see Lids re-signed before the end of the season. I also want Larry Murphy in my stocking*. *Not implying that he's a cross-dresser. Just saying that I want him as a present.

I've said my piece on this, but I am now finding it amusing how many people are referring to Chicago as our rival when we have repeatedly denied that they are worthy of the title, and have made fun of Hawks fans who say otherwise.

Had Wings fans not gone on for pages about how Pens fans were classless for booing, and had Wings fans not claimed that they would never boo the guy because they knew that his time here was limited to one year, I would not be annoyed. That said, I'm still surprised. Do we boo Lang or Schneider or Quincey or Sammy or Conks? I mean do we boo their existence? If a former Wing scores a goal against us or blocks a shot or does something where the play itself is bad for the Wings, I can certainly see booing the play. Why boo just one person? If the team is a rival, boo the whole team.

I have no class. Or school, for that matter. The person below me drinks lots of water.

Stones. U2 had a couple of things I liked, but the Stones are classic, with the exception of Cocksucker Blues, which my bf loves, and of which I am now sick. Venting or holding it in?

We'll boo you when you post.

Haha! Hawks announcers said, "shutout!" Go Wings! We have a chance!

No. The Hawks were on the ice the whole period. It did seem like every time we had the puck, we were either trying to keep it or making passes that didn't connect, or making shots that either get stopped or don't make it to the net in the first place.

What's it going to take for us to score? 5-3 and pull our goalie for a 6-3? Could we score then?

oh, drat. Get it baack, boys.

No reason to boo him. Had we not been so filled with stars, we'd have signed him in a heartbeat. With Lidstrom, Zata, Pavel, and Mule on the roster, it's hard to afford room for yet another star. Hossa was a casualty of the salary cap, not a traitor who sold out.

GMR, you know I'm a fight-happy, pro-enforcer, ass-kick-lovin' old hag. When I say there's no need to get vengeance for this hit, it doesn't mean I don't want to see fighting, I just think that there's no need to make him a priority. Clean hit, respect for the health of his opponent. Doan's a classy guy. If he gets a beating during the course of a game, I'll be cheering with the best of them. I'm just saying that if we start a head-hunting list of jerks who have done this team wrong, he won't be on it. There are bigger fish in the sea than Doan for that purpose. When next we play them, if he gets nailed, he gets nailed. If not, it's not like we have a deep wound festering. I have a lot of guys on my hit-list that are more worthy of a beating.

Almost, Abby. Got in late. Have we looked not-so-good all night, or just in the last couple of seconds? Stream I'm watching: http://www.justin.tv/furby666#r=vbo7PEo

love train travel blissful ignorance or wise misery?

Yes, I am. The person below me likes those kettle cooked chips.

If the hit had been dirty and if Doan had (for example) said something like, "I'm sick of talking about Ericsson. No one ever heard of him before this. I made him famous. The kid owes me." and then crushed his beer can and threw it in the trash as though to convey his thoughts of Jonny, then I'd be calling for his head in the future. Instead he checked to make sure that Ericsson was ok and expressed regret about the outcome of a clean hit. If we must get all hot and bothered about retribution (and I do like getting hot and bothered about retribution), someone still needs to lay out Pronger for the hit on Homer and his "I can't control my elbows because I'm so tall- blame it on physics" quote.

I don't know about the first one, but that latter was a Kronwall quote. Of course, it is possible that they both said it, but Kronwall said it first. Here's the quote in question: There you have it kids, Ritola is the next Kronwall. I've been curious about how Ritola will do on the NHL level. I guess now is a good time to find out. I don't follow the Grifs unless they are playing with the big boys, so this will be interesting. I did like what little I saw of Newbury. Edit to add quote.

I just woke up and am posting this at 5:17 a.m. Usually I am just getting back from my last break at work and am cleaning up, getting ready to go home. Since I am going to my mom's today, I had to go to bed at night, when I'm used to getting up and being at work. Weird hours, indeed! The person below me is in a winter weather advisory.

Sir Paul England Dan or John Ford Coley?

Red Red Wine- UB40 Pink Floyd or the Doors?
