And then hopefully NOT celly like Jumbo Joe.

This further solidifies my belief that Kronner is as classy as they come. Take notes, Dustin Penner: "One tweet in particular from Penner (below) attached a video clip to emphasize referees Greg Kimmerly and Tim Peel missed the call: @Dustinpenner25: To whom it may concern.....black&white vertical stripes.Orange horizontal stripe) Might of been 2 min minor?? http://t.co/JKxL0I8PPi Penner says the tweet was sent to embarrass the people on Twitter who assessed the hit as clean. Furthermore, Penner says players want NHL officials held accountable and the use of social media might help deliver that message." Not the time or manner in which to grandstand, IMO. Edit: source is this tweet by Dreger: @DarrenDreger: Dustin Penner sounds off after getting crushed last night, plus, some trade speculation in todays Dreger Report. http://t.co/5UhWAGx48Q

You're feisty today. I like it!

What time is the hearing today, anyone know?

I snorted coffee at my desk. One of the first tweets that went out about this was very strangely worded, something like "E's gf had a baby this weekend." I was like...is it his? Because I don't know, that's kind of a big deal lol.

Trial by fire.

@RedWingsFeed: Helm passes test in minors, is ready to play for Wings Saturday: Tootoo is the... http://t.co/ml29SYWcf9 via @freepwings #NHL #RedWings

You don't want an overview. Let's summarize thusly: Wings looked strong in the first. Commence penile tripping.

I will NEVER forget how derptastic Big Rig was. EVER. I am REALLY torn on Turd Ferguson. On the one hand, I am realistic in understanding that D men take longer to mature and develop their hockey sense. He is young, hasn't played a full season, and is just in the beginning of his development. We're going to have some MAJOR growing pains, y'all. On the other hand, he is MUCH harder for me to watch than Big Rig was. I am exasperated by him at least 27 times a game.* And at the risk of sounding needlessly harsh about someone I don't know personally, he seems like an all around moron. Can you imagine Kronner or even Rig ever deflecting blame for being scratched? He gives off the "young, dumb, and full of cum" vibe to me, which for someone his age is totally acceptable (but still douchey), but when it interferes with the job he is being *paid* to do, it's a problem. Yes, he needs to mature and improve. If he doesn't pull his head out of his ass and see WHY he has to mature and improve instead of acting clueless to his faults, then he never WILL improve. That's my concern. *this may be an exaggeration

@azc_mclellan: As for why he went down in 2nd, I just kind of had a stinger go up my neck and just kind of locked up for a second, Smith said. Oh f*** off.

I would love to tell you all about how I sat next to Bob Rouse's brother at the game, but I'm too pissed right now...

Couple observations now that warm up is over. The Bettman alike is gone now, so I could not exact my revenge. Next time, Bettman. *shakes fist* I don't normally notice how lanky DK is on the ice, but he looks really skinny in person. Bert was lobbing pucks into the air and AppleFritter was bouncing them on his head. I can't stand Quincey's face. Z is stunningly beautiful in person. Let's all take a moment. *sigh* I judge players on whether or not they high five the kids as the head back into the tunnel *glares at Sammy* Parading your mascot around the ice to the tune of "who let the dogs out" is lame.

Where can I purchase one of these Zetterberg and a Datsyuk vehicles? Definitely sounds like something a gal like me should be driving...

Getting ready to head over to Westgate. Catch y'all on the flip side! Oh, who am I kidding. I'm totally going to post from the game. LGW! Edit: I'm here now. There is someone up in one of the suites who from far away looks very much like Bettman. I know it's probably not, but I can't fight the regret that I didn't try to smuggle in something nasty to dump on him...

Are you finally old enough to drive?

@RedWingsFeed: TMR: NHL reschedules Cody McLeods hearing for Monday: It appears that the NHL's... http://t.co/QA7R9vw5rS via @KuklasKorner #NHL #RedWings

@HeleneStJames: Red Wings D Niklas Kronwall says he feels great, hopes to be back within a week, needs clearance from doctors because of concussion. @AnsarKhanMLive: Kronwall said he's feeling good. Not sure when he'll be cleared. Doesn't believe it was dirty hit by McLeod. Blamed himself for bad position @HeleneStJames: First thing #RedWings D Niklas Kronwall did after being taken off on stretcher: Text his mom back in Stockholm to tell her he was OK. @iamtrevort: Kronwall also said Cody McLeod reached out to him after the game and he appreciates that and add, "we're good." While I don't know him personally, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Nik Kronwall is a Good Man .

Happy Birthday E_T!

@JKindl4: #number #71 (11) #warrior http://t.co/VZPlwZJDWr Dan Danny Daniel Daniel-san Cleary is falling apart at the seams, y'all...

It's confirmed... @AnsarKhanMLive: Babcock said Samuelsson in for Tootoo is only change up front. Jesus take the wheel...

http://touch.dailymotion.com/video/xwpa63_the-pogues-streams-of-whiskey-olympia-2012_music My favorite type of stream.

I PAID TO SEE THIS GAME. And parking isn't free anymore, either. I will be tantruming right along with you, my friend. Lol the Sammy in for Toots tweet came out after this one, unfortunately...

@AnsarKhanMLive: Alfredsson skating with Datsyuk and Zetterberg, like he did in third period in Colorado. Bertuzzi back with Andersson and Cleary. @AnsarKhanMLive: Other lines: Franzen-Weiss-Abdelkader, Miller-Glendening-Tootoo; Samuelsson and Tatar extras, Eaves (LTIR) also skating.

@AnsarKhanMLive: Looks like Howard is ready to go after missing three games with bruised hand. @AnsarKhanMLive: Now Samuelsson skating with 4th line and working point in 2nd PP unit. So maybe he's in for Tootoo. We'll see. Good Christ.

Looks fine to me. I'll be at this one. Hopefully they don't have a s***ty letdown game. LGW!
