Flip-check

The caption I keep imagining on that is: Bert: I'm going to kill you, Christo Tselios. Cheli: Is he really gonna do that?

It wasn't even Bert that did it. That was a freak accident that came after the blow. Does anyone look at the actual plays anymore? I don't advocate his initial punch, because even with Moore refusing to engage him, that wasn't the right way to send a message. If he won't fight, level him later. I think it was foolish on Moore's part -not- to stand against Bert... honestly, it'd be a lot better to deal with the consequences in a fight than risk opposing team members trying to take a good run at you in retaliation later. That doesn't put the blame on him, of course, but it - like Bertuzzi's very bad decision to sucker punch him - factors into the whole disaster. Anyway though, yeah, that's 2004. I don't even know why the press was asking about that in those practice photos put up on the board today. Let it go, people, what's done is done.

I think we'll need you on the streets for crowd control. It'll be tough out there when so much badassness inspires a full-on riot.

I like the idea of that. Underground cells waiting for their moment. I'm so glad that I was too young to pay the Wings of the '80s and early '90s much attention. It's just been straight up goodness since '94 on.

Homer looks so tiny when put beside Bert... Also, note the engaged look on Bert's face, compared with the almost vacant stare of Lang in picture #9. I really think Babs needs to use some #44 intimidating on Rob Roy here to whip him into shape.

haha, you like? I knew it was perfect, and had to preserve.

It's almost like Dats could star in a movie where he leads a bunch of young'uns to glory, classic feel good story of hope and eternal perseverance. Also, full-on with gag scarves when it gets too bad. Ever since about '01-'02 I followed the Wings about absolutely not at all... lots of different life stuff there, it's only this past year that I actually started keeping a active track on them. I wish I'd seen the Detroit Griffs doing their thing in winter '04.

That's awesome. Cleary: Why are you five bucks? Flip: Why are you ten? hahaha. I think there's also some showing with Gordie lately too? The same sports store I went to the other day and considered a Z jersey at had flyers up mentioning Howe signing somewhere: the prices are amazing though. $79 for a puck, $169 for a photograph, or something along those lines. I think signatures are in a sense ridiculous.... all they are are someone's handwriting, some other person, no different than you, with their name. I'm not above asking someone to sign something, even waiting around a bit, but I don't care about paying much or at all for it. Flip would be fun to meet though. "Please sign it, 'From Detroit's resident pretty-boy.' No, no 'Valterri Filppula' or anything, just that. That will be all."

I don't think you can be trusted with another visit there so soon. I will take them off your hands. Actually, what seats are they Hank? I've been thinking about going to a game very soon and maybe this is the green light? And what time is that game... 12:30p on Sunday? hahaha, that's so bizarrely early! Ice hockey at noon, gosh. Breakfast before a wings game would sound strangely cool though.

It really isn't a huge loss in the scheme of things, however. In fact, I'm eager to see them play these upcoming weeks, -not- dependent on Hank's production. I'll miss the hell out of Z in the line-up, but like ARice said, this should be a good thing. Maybe I'll have to buy a Hank home jersey to help pass the time. I saw one in a sports store at the mall.. and I was thinking, that #40 is just awesome.

If the jersey comes off -- nada to grab onto in the fight. You're tougher to keep a hold and start landing punches on without one. But some guys need all the help they can get, so really, the rule ought be modified with a subsection named "Bad Fighters' Stipulation." In nine words: If you suck, you don't need a fighter's strap.

It really isn't a wings jersey, the text is wrong. It looks like a CCCP jersey, I think -- not like I'm an expert on that stuff though.

Oh yeah? haha! That's so cool! I'm glad you had a good night there. I guess that might be the last time you can expect that, at least until big Bert suits up.

hahahahahaha that.. oh, is gold, is gold

Rex is a toughie. I loathe the idea of dealing him.. especially since some people say he's really got a lot of potential to him in years to come. I don't think we'd do anything with him before seeing how Grigorenko pans out though. That's another guy's name I hear... I'm just curious what he's got.

hahaha! I love listening to him. He's just great, I swear, if they had Red Wings Weekly showing all the good stuff like that for like.. three nights out of the week, I would so be there. It would be embarassing to reconcile in my head, but I would so be there.

They play it every game! Oh gosh.. I am going to go mad from it. It almost equals the level of insanity when Rabia told me that Lillypads indeed has turtled before. It's too much.

Okay, HR40 told me to "do it" (whatever that means ), so: Homer. Tonight. Second hat trick in two games. It's going to happen. "show me show me show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream" she said "the one that makes me laugh" she said and threw her arms around my neck "show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you"

LGW is rocking so hard it can't help but break. Like worn in bedframes. Like that.

I know, I was totally just meaning the point-producing beast side of it. You'd have to set up a meeting between me and Bert's fist to start confusing Homer for Z's quality. It'll be sick if Tomas picks up points in the next few games.

Never terri! I just get inspired by your own creativity

Homer: the new Hank

I KNOW! I feel bad for people like that, who got dealt the hand of being that way. I'm sure he's a nice enough man. Drapes: You like that interview, Kyle? Calder: Shut up. Maltby: He imagines you're squeezing his man-boob when he leans close. Calder: ....!

hahaha. Hilarious! That is too cruel... and connected to that, for some reason Bert's size simply reminds me of prison and another kind of being "gotten." I do think that would be enough to light a fire under Lang's ass, if only to literally save it.

hahaha! That is sweet! I love kids, damn.
