I went to Warren 77, Avery’s bar in NYC, this past Friday (with some of my favorite Twitter people).  I had heard about the picture that he had hanging in the bathroom, so of course I had to see it immediately.
And well… see for yourself:

Yes, that’s Brendan Shanahan as Batman …

 game recap 24 January 2010

Well that was certainly short-lived.  We’re back out of the playoffs, sitting at 9th.
Three unanswered goals by the Kings and they walked away with the win in a “must-win” for the Red Wings.  I officially hate this season.
Goals were as follows:
Detroit: Valtteri Filppula (Cleary, Miller); Todd Bertuzzi (Rafalski, Lidstrom)
Los Angeles: …

 game preview 23 January 2010

I’m still trying to figure out exactly how I want to format my previews, so if they’ve seemed a bit ramble-y and not cohesive, that’s why.  This is also short and to the point, as I want to get some other stuff done before 7 tonight.
We’re in the playoffs, and …

 game preview 21 January 2010

This is the first meeting between the Red Wings and the Wild this season.
I have Mikko Koivu, Martin Havlat, and Andrew Brunette on my fantasy team.  I feel like I’m tempting fate by benching Havlat and Koivu in favor of Datsyuk and Cleary.  Watch us get torched by those two …

 game recap 20 January 2010

About 5-10 minutes into this game I thought to myself, SOG are 5-0 Detroit. If they can keep this up and not lay back, we’ll win for sure. Well fuck me, because while they kept it up for most of the game, they had a magnificent third period …

I guess the big news is that Osgood is getting his first start in 12 games.  I know a lot of people have jumped on him for whining, but if you read the articles by the beat writers as they filed, he explains himself at least a little better…
Khan:
“At the …

 game recap 18 January 2010

Well that was… interesting.  I don’t know.  We started off great, faded in the middle, and came back strong again through OT, and couldn’t get it done in the shootout.  Again.
– The Wings controlled a lot of the play in the start, but towards the middle, got stuck at …

The NHL is considered, at best, in last place when it comes to the top pro sports leagues in the United States, behind the NFL, NBA and MLB.  Possibly even second tier all together, next to Major League Soccer.  Even golf gets more press and media coverage than hockey does.
As …

Say what you want about some of the writers over at Puck Daddy as having an anti-Wings bias, or plain not being objective.  Either way, you have to admit the “Jersey Fouls” series of one of the more vivid highlights on the human condition… and the ultimate in “what were …
