This would be funnier if the Wings had forced Game 7 instead of the other way around, but still.

 

It's a terribly blurry shot, but I got to ride the Zamboni at the Griffins game on Friday night! 

 

 

 

Here's what I look like when I'm not blurry:

 

OMG, I love that whole thing. Especially the little Pavel heads floating around like birds around a cartoon character who's been hit in the head! 

I love that he was so prepared that he actually brought a spare picture of Mrs. Kane to use after the first one was confiscated. 

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Impatient cow.

Impatient c--

MOO! 

There's a whole Tumblr of pictures of hockey players with animals (mostly their own pets, but some rescue dogs and some zoo animals).

There aren't too many pictures of Wings in there, but they can be found here:

And the little puppy girl's family was found late yesterday. Yay! 

So... let's pretend there was no game yesterday. However, for some reason, there were warmups. In which every player wore a #9 Howe jersey. It must have been part of Great Gordie's birthday celebration, because there certainly wasn't a 7-1 loss yesterday...

 

 

Lashoff is wondering if Kronners will ever let him in on the joke: 

 

 

While Filppula wonders if he left the toaster oven on. 

 

 

Cory and Abby show us their Very Serious Faces: 

 

 

And Pavel uses his telepathic powers to reach through time and space to turn off Val's toaster oven.

 

 

Here's a good example of how TRIPPY it was to see everyone wearing a Howe jersey. 

 

 

Jimmy doing his mental warmups: 

 

 

And Monster stretching: 

 

 

Brendan Smith showing his fierce game face: 

 

 

And the obligatory goalierump picture!

It seems our starting goalie has a birthday today...

 

How about some pictures of strapping young Griffins to pass the time? These are from the warm-ups of Saturday's game. Some of the guys are a little hard to identify- I don't know them well enough to see, like, half of a hand in the corner of a shot and be like, oh, that's Mule's glove! But I labeled them as best I could.

Brennan Evans might get to be my hockey boyfriend this season if the NHL stays locked out.He doesn't cause me the delightful internal flippy-flop feelings like Manny & Conks do, but he is definitely fine to look at. I think I have to see him again in person to make sure.  

Welcome and have fun!

Four more years of shirtless Helm interviews?  

I think when I'm home later I'm going to have to go back through here and collect many of the pictures Karen has posted.

those belong to the shooters he's neutered in his storied career.

No way. It would look more like the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese if they were.

Bertuzzi caught the Preds trying to play Yahtzee and took away all the dice.
