Wings on the PK. Hank off.

Top shelf where the peanut butter is kept!!! Bert makes it 4-1!!!

Raffi's stick snaps and Houdini hits the post. Wings will have about 12 seconds left in the PP in the 4rd period. 3-1 Wings after 2 periods.

Houdini's stick snapped on that pass but still managed to make a play. Wings going back to the PP. More goals please, Wings?!

Wings going to the PP!!! Increase that lead, Wings!!!

CLEARY!!! 3-1 WINGS!!!

Wings PP coming up after the TV timeout. LIGHT TURCO UP AGAIN, WINGS!!!

NIGHTMARE ON HELM STREET!!! He finally finds the finish!!! 2-1 Wings!!!

About 16 seconds left in the PK.

Blah, I change briefly to Top Gear on BBC America, and the Wings not only get scored on, but also go back on the PK. Not a good end to the period. 1-1 tie at the end of the 1st.

Wings going to the PK after the TV timeout.

MILLER TIME!!! 1-0 Wings!!!

Bert gives up the puck to Neil, then bowls Neil over At least it didn't hurt us.

Lenio nearly got it past Turco. Hopefully we'll get the first goal this time

The FIA has released their 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship Entry List. One item of note is that Manor Grand Prix has apparently changed their team name to Virgin Racing (thanks to backing from Richard Branson's Virgin Group). Also, no Sauber on the list, but the FIA noted that they will announce what will happen to Panasonic Toyota Racing's entry. It's possible that Sauber will be granted an entry then. I'll update the first post after this is posted.

That's the infuriating thing about officiating and discipline in the NHL today is the lack of consistency with punishment. Cooke got away with how many knee-on-knee hits this year? Three? And yet, he gets nailed with an elbow to the head suspension (which is the right call, by the way). I wonder if Cooke's idol is Pronger ? League needs to be more consistent with the penalties and suspension if they want to stop plays like that or the knee-to-knee ones

Finally the Wings get a win (funnily enough, last win was against the Canadiens in a shootout). Wings are now, what, 12-9-4, 28 points? Shame Bert's goal doesn't count in official stats, but it doesn't matter as he bags the win for us.

Going to the Skills Competit... er, shootout.
