game preview 30 March 2010

This will be quick, as I’ve got to go run to the grocery store, bake a cake, and head off to a friend’s for dinner… which means I’ll be missing most of the game as well.
The Red Wings haven’t won a single game against the lowly Oilers this year, something …

 H2H 29 March 2010

*title idea credit goes to @mserven, who tweeted on Saturday: “#H2H now stands for Herm 2 Hangover”
My voice is completely shot; vocal chords stripped.  I am still exhausted from Friday.  I woke up Saturday with an absolutely wrenching hangover and was completely useless for most of the afternoon as my …

 TOV,TP:60 19 March 2010

In case you haven’t seen this already, you must go here.  Darren McCarty and Claude Lemieux get together for the first time to talk about March 26, 1997, and the hit on Kris Draper for the first time on Off the Record with Michael Landsberg.  It’s really fascinating to hear …

 I'm a terrible blogger 16 March 2010

I’m back from not so sunny Florida, and can finally catch up on the Wings.  So happy to come home and see that the Wings managed to pull up 3 points on Calgary for a much more secure 8th seed.  I didn’t get to watch either the Minnesota game, or …

 I'm a terrible blogger 11 March 2010

I’m going to be down in Florida for a long weekend, and consequently will be missing the games tonight and Saturday. Family vacation and a half marathon to run means I’m going to be largely offline for the duration. So I am hoping to come back to good …

 game preview 9 March 2010

Look at that and tell me that this matchup tonight is not the most important games of the season for the Red Wings.
We saw them bring it last Thursday against Nashville in a huge game; can we officially shed them of the Jekyll and Hyde moniker after tonight?
That’s all I …

 game recap 7 March 2010

I hate that stupid Fratellis song, “Chelsea Dagger.”  It makes me want to put a dagger through my eardrums, and I had to hear it 4 times this afternoon.
This game made me feel like an untreated manic depressive, almost entirely within the third period alone.  The first was pretty bland, …

 game recap 6 March 2010

Well there’s one way to come back after the pathetic outing against Vancouver.  I’m pretty certain this was the first game all season that was labeled as a “must win” and the Wings actually came out and played like they knew it was important.  It was huge to get the …

 game recap 4 March 2010

Well, Trade Deadline Day came and went, and true to his word, Ken Holland was fairly quiet.  The only moves he made was to ship Kris Newbury off to Hartford for Jordan Owens, and apparently also moved Andy Delmore to Calgary for Riley Armstrong.  I know nothing of either Owens …
