Competition for Suter and/or Weber just got that more real.

No kidding. So glad we have Kronwall locked up!

(Sorry, Slowpoke made me do it. )

and he said, "Look at me! Do I look "Mighty" to you?"

"Well, I don't know, I think you need to take off your shirt so I can personally inspect you for mightiness."  

Thank you.

So I went looking for news on Joey MacDonald and how he's doing with recovering from his concussion and discovered that (a) he's recovering nicely and could be back in the Griffins' lineup by Friday, (b) he has a new helmet with a cool picture of the Mackinac Bridge, and ( c) MLive has a picture of him in his new helmet doing that amazing intense goalie focus stare thing.




The actual article is here if anyone would like to read it.

He also claimed that the Wings got away with having EIGHT guys on the ice. EIGHT! The horror! His attempt to telestrate this showed an empty patch of ice with an arrow in it pointing vaguely in the direction of where the bench should have been. Eight guys, huh, Edzo? I'm not buying it.

"All right, everyone ready to go to the bar?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna get me a hot puckbunny tonight!"
"Wait, hold on, guys, Nick's coming with us."
"Damn."

Bill Roose reported on twitter that Eaves was loaded into a DMC ambulance and taken off for testing and probably observation.

Remember when the Cadillac Building in Detroit had the Yzerman mural up on the side of it? Shirtless Lidstrom should be their next mural! (And then suddenly the crowd for the next game is 90% women... )

I'm going to come in and embarrass Michelle a little.    Two of the Walleye players were giving her significant looks at tonight's game. One was Joey Martin, who kept checking her out during warmups. The other was Evan Rankin, who, when he skated by between plays, did that head toss thing guys do which is the universal guy symbol for "Hey. How YOU doin'." You know the one I mean. I didn't get any significant looks that I'm aware of (unless the how-you-doin' head toss was meant for both of us).

I am somewhat taken with goalie Carter Hutton, though. This is the same guy that Michelle was unhappy with after the last game she went to because he played so poorly. He looked fine tonight, though! And then at one point he took off his helmet  to adjust it and he looked even finer. If you know what I mean. She's still mad at him for wearing #30, but his bio on the Walleye site says the Wings were his favorite team growing up! So I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's wearing #30 out of admiration for Ozzie. He's pretty enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt.  

Where has the heart gone?

Did McLellan take a portion of Babs's brain with him when he left for SJ or what?

"Honey, look away, I have a good shot of Cleary!"  
















Goodness, Abby's growing into his looks quite nicely:




Apparently Conk thinks something is hilarious, but he didn't share the joke with me so I can't report back on sources of goalie humor:


Lidstrom using his Super Secret Sweden Powers to cause two Dallas players to collide behind him:




And here was the view from my seat before GIANT HEAD BOY sat down:

He's with Minnesota now.

*headsmack*  You're right. I blame lack of sleep. I don't even have a high-stick induced sinus infection as an excuse.

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT THE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!

Oh, should I wait until after warmups to yell that at them?
Or should I start now to get the idea into their heads?

You're in a different time zone, so you should probably start now so the sound waves have time to get over to the Joe.
