We arose much too late, aren't even close to bein' fully caffeinated, and the puck drops at The Joe in mere minutes. So this is all ya get, Gentle Reader. Priorities.
Update, 1400 hrs: That was TOO damned close for comfort... but all's well that ends well: Wings 4, Feral Dogs 3. The Wings were leading by 4-1 at the end of the second but the Yotes came back in the third... making it a near-run thing. We won't talk about the piss-poor officiating and questionable calls... But, Hey!
A 2-0 hole will take a lot o' diggin' by the Feral Dogs to come back. I'm not sayin' it can't be done, because it has been done. But not this time... bear down, Wings... skate to the throat!
Added, 1430 hrs: Why we'll win:
Datsyuk is the BEST Russian in the league, mebbe even the best player. That play was just beauteous... and the reason he's the Number One Star of today's game.
Go Yankees!
ReplyDeleteOoops! Wrong place for that heh?
Go Red Wings! Enjoy Buck!
Heh. I've made that booboo before, Anon. I DID enjoy, but didn't REALLY need the elevated heart rate in the final three minutes...
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice goal, nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteSome sports talking heads were saying here yesterday, the chance of the feral dogs being moved to Winnipeg, about 400 miles north of Minneapolis is increasing. Some owners are tired of paying the feral dogs bills, and Winnipeg's pro hockey drought may have them lining up for tickets.
It snows in Winnipeg, sometimes. They have an official bird, the mosquito

"Survivors" lists an interesting tale of Lynn Garrison who owns one now, as none are flying quite yet again.
The whole Yotes ownership thing has been a CF of massive and epic proportions. I have to hand it to the team that they can keep their focus with all that crap goin' on. I suppose Winnipeg wouldn't be all THAT bad, eh?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the link... the Mosquito was one the prettiest airplanes EVER made.
