Shopping is done. I have a friend who works at Kohl's. Last weekend was friends and family weekend, so she gave me a coupon for 15% off. I got sale things and managed to get gifts for 9 people for $32. Life is good. The person below me needs a haircut.

If ever there was a game where the Wings should realize that they will have to give it everything they have to win, this is it. Let's hope they do. Go Conk! Go Wings!

No dogsledding for me. The person below me has seen pics from their childhood and can't believe their mother dressed them so funny.

OK, I'm going to be the minority voice here. How many of you who have daughters really want the NHL to take the position that it's perfectly OK for someone speaking as a member of their orginization, in a public forum to promote the sexist notion that girls can only sleep with one guy, and after that they're "used goods", whereas guys can sleep with as many bimbos as they want, and it's all just boys having fun? The suspension was a bit much. A fine would have sufficed. The league needed to let its female fans know that they value us and our daughters as people and do not look at us as property or trophies, and that they do not approve when their employees, speaking in public, do this and in a crude way that clearly says that he considers his ex to have been his conquest, but that he does not consider himself to have been hers. It's a fine line, and maybe only women see it. Worse things have been said, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. Oh, yes, and that anger management thing was BS.

Hossa's salary has put a crimp in our financial freedom, that's for sure. I don't think that it will end up being a bad thing. What Hossa adds to the team is definitely worth it. The problem is not with Hossa's salary and the lack of wiggle room, but rather, the fact that the team is not playing the way it should, thus making us wish for the wiggle room. If every member of the Wings played like he did last season, there would be no need to wonder if we need a GR player brought up unless it was because someone was on LTIR, in which case the money wouldn't be the big issue. It's not Hossa's salary, or our closeness to the cap (caused by Hossa's salary), it's the holes that we need that salary to fill, which just shouldn't be there. In the long run, I think it will be worth it, even if it is uncomfortable at the moment.

I don't know why that struck me as funny. Maybe we should hot-wire some of our guys. Yeah, if the Avs want him, good for all of them. Maybe we'll beat them if they get rid of a full-time player for Peter.

we interrupt this bitchfest to celebrate a goal. Please stand by. Lamentations will resume in approximately 7 seconds. We apologize for any inconvenience. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSA!

I'm allergic to hops, so I can't rate beer. The person below me plays golf (weather permitting).

I can think of a half dozen guys this game lacks. Unfortunately, they're all wearing a winged wheel at the moment. We will overcome. (Side note: Oooh! Pic of Crosby! Haven't seen one of those in months! Looks like he almost hit puberty- or maybe it's just gas.)

I don't have a tree. I go to my parents' house, so it's just not worth decorating. I have a nativity scene, a couple of snow globes, and a couple of Christmassy candles that I put out and usually remember to put away some time around Feb. The person below me has been out in temps below -40. (coincidentally, this is where F and C meet, so I don't have to specify )

I agree with that. ZDH as the first line. The Equine Line as the alternate first line. (Because any line with Hossa can't be called a second line.) Too bad we lost Lang. Huds, Lang, Hossa would have been an unintelligible force against the vast majority of teams in the league.

He is Lilja. I forgot to add that he will also have 34 blocked shots.

Lilja with 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 fights, and 1 slipped f-word during his intermission interview. I don't know. I just wanted to have something original. GO WINGS!!! GO OZZIE!!!

Hopes up for what? The Sharks game? Life will improve? They'll actually get to hug a Wookie? I think a win against the Sharks is the most likely, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. The person below me has an innie belly button.

I hate coffee. I'm having juice. The person below me wants to hug a Wookie.

Have the Wings considered giving out Tums as a promotional gift? Hey, it's a W.

The person below me is as confused by the statement of the person above me as the person below the person above me is.

Wasn't that Rob? Anyway, I was thinking of him vs Stevie as well. The guy plays to injure and then laughs it off. That whole "it's physics" excuse (with the elbows) made me want to ralph. I almost got kicked out of my regular bar when he was on TV laughing about the elbows to Homer and McAmmond. I was livid. Physics. Pah! I don't dispute his talent. He has that in spades. I'd rather beat him than have him join us. I can't think of any other player in the league (including Tootoo) that I couldn't learn to tolerate. Pronger is in a class by himself.

Not that I remember. The person below me liked "The Sound of Music".

Wings will be up 14-3 with :10 left, and nail an empty netter just to drive SeeinRed insane. Wings will be out and running after losing to Dallas last night. Look for some of the quiet ones to step up. After last night, that would be most of the team. Ozzie will be solid. Many spectators will drink beer. At least two of my predictions (counting this one) will be correct.

Nope. Just one this year. (Good news on the water- not frozen, there was a broken main and they had shut me off. Showered and happy now.) The person below me has finished their Christmas shopping.

I have never done anything by running too fast. I have more of a waddle. The person below me has had a shower today. (Woke up to no water. Not happy.)

If I had the extra money, any Wings event would be worth it. However, $500 is a paycheck, and since those are going to be scarce, no. I can think of better ways to spend $500. The person below me hates wearing nylons.

Joe is worthy of much more than being an Av. Hope he recovers well and soon.

I have conked my head many times, but never from attempting to purposely be inverted. The inversion generally happens by accident. The person below me is ticklish.
