The Beloved Wings play the Caps tonight and all is NOT well in Dee-troit. Briefly:
Soon, mebbe.
Let's Go Red Wings!
Detroit has lost eight of its past 11 games to slip into fourth place in the Atlantic. The Red Wings are winless in their past six games at Joe Louis Arena, their worst drought at home since 1996-97; however, five of the losses have come to overtime or shootouts, cushioning the slump."Cushioning the slump" sez I? More like emphasizing the slump to my way o' thinkin'. The Wings would make the playoffs if the playoffs started today and that's a Good Thing. Still and even, this is NOT the sort o' hockey Wingnuts are accustomed to seein'. We're not panicking yet, but we are oh-so-close.
“We’ve been able to get one point [at home] a number a times and we haven’t been able to get the second one,” coach Mike Babcock told the media on Thursday. “We’re taking steps here and need to continue to get better. Playing without the puck will be key for us.”
Soon, mebbe.
Let's Go Red Wings!
Walkin in Tall Cotton around Rumbear manor.....half galleon of Sailor Jerry and a Wings game in High Def.
ReplyDeleteThe game was much less than satisfying. Why the Hell can't Howard win in a frickin' shoot-out? Why the Hell do they blow a 3-1 lead to GET to the shootout in the first place? AIIIEEE!
DeleteOh, and Siri is stile groovin on the Magic Man!!
ReplyDelete"still"...hmmmm, check systems...rum consumption = NORMAL. Legitimate typo.
ReplyDeleteLove the Bowie song... I have always found him oddly appealing. And I loved the pics of the 8-track and the 45. Sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteI like Bowie a lot, too... in each of his personae.
