My favorite professor at University was (and, uh, is) named Michael Shanks. That's all I've got.

The Killers are great.

If I'm a happy drunk tonight.

So Bert in for Brunner? I like Brunner a lot, but I can dig it.

That was me! I'M FAMOUS!!! Srsly tho, worst ice ever. I think we completed all of, like, eight passes in that game. Which would be OK if we were one of those teams that likes to do its damage below the hash marks, as opposed to our *pass-pass-pass around the perimer, pass-pass-pass some more, OH BOY HERE COMES THE BOOM [insert a wrist shot so weak and slow it actually makes you cringe] etc.* routine. meh! You are a robot. EDIT: I mean that was me with the semen thing. Not the concert. Though I do write and perform music. I also enjoy long walks along the beach.

Get Bert in there. I am beyond sick of hugging the perimer in the o-zone.

Yup, as is.

Also - we take for granted how insanely difficult it is (for most) (i.e. the mortal, non-Datsyuk crowd) to make it to the NHL, let alone hold down a roster spot, let alone score with regularity, etc. Sometimes a guy just needs to *******, without the hookers.

It's a game. And, for the record, this isn't the first generation to "showboat." In fact, I suspect one reason this generation (whatever that really means) does it is because it/they gew up watching their elders do it. Also - we don't necessarily know/acknowledge "the real story," or "the full context," around every goal. Maybe Tortorella absolutely tears x guy apart before x game against the Lightning. So maybe his goal in the third period means a lot to him. Might even mean a lot to the team in the big picture, depending on how things are going on several different levels. Stuff like that.

I was almost kinda hoping Helm would get it after Lidstrom, though Zetterberg does make more sense as captain, I guess. At this point, I hope Helm can come back at all.

Please win this ******* game. My nerves are shredded, for more than one reason.

If the Wings should be concerned with anything re: last night, it's the way they played. That being said, if getting all worked up about Perry trying to assassinate our 'tender gets them engaged in the series and playing real Red Wings hockey (a la, e.g., the last four games of the regular season), I say go for it. Burn him in effigy.

Sure it can.

I like our team.[/toosoon]

You cannot be serious.

Forecheck. Where is it?

Why is the Inside the Glass guy on the bench?

We are so much ******* better than this.

You know what it is? We're slow tonight. We've looked gassed, winded the whole game. That jump we had the last few games? Totally gone.

This is the part where we make their goalie look otherworldly.

This is like...a bantam B team trying to play Russian 5-era puck-possession. Against the Anaheim Ducks. And the ice is semen.

Where the hell is our top line?

Thanks, Kindl.

Howard is pretty much the only good thing going for us tonight - and even he's looked lost at times.

We suck hard tonight. Fundamentals, boys.
