Hockeyville Sucks. 4-3 Over Lil’ Caesartown.

Think King had a freshly baked french cake ready for Perron when he came by last night? Everytime I got a goal as a kid, we always celebrated with cake. Maybe that’s why I’m sitting here all by my lonesome writing instead of earning the big bucks as a pro athelete… damn you, mom!

Anywhoooo… everybody’s really high on the Hawk’s rookies. Well, we’ve got some nice ones too. Wagner is not only solid defensively, he’s also getting some points. EJ is a stud and will be a monster for us for years to come, and David Perron is a living highlight machine.

Next year is the coming of TJ Oshie and Patrik Berglund. Gotta love it.

if you didn’t mention the third goal count being disrupted by another goal, I would’ve said it. funny stuff!

by the way, I got a bingo on the last page of the GT issue! the bottom row across:
-my friend was wearing a self-named personalized clown jersey, plus there were several others…check
-Demitra jersey AND a shirt that looked like a jersey with “Demitra 38” on the back…check
-saw a Gretzky Rangers jersey and a Flyers jersey for the non-participating team jersey sighting…check
-the referrees blow a call…as always…check
-and sighted the Berenson Cowboy…check

so…what do I win?

What a game. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and didn’t breathe until the horn sounded. I too enjoy a Blues victory and Dead Wings loss (especially in the same game) more than a person really should. But it is just so fun after years of being dominated by those dick rockets to not only win, but score 4 unanswered and chase the Doucheinator from the game.
Granted, we didn’t play a flawless game, but the effort was definitely there last night. As soon as that first goal went in, you could see the entire team step up their game big time.
Where would this team be without Perron right now? He has added so much energy and life to that second line. We would be in trouble if he was sent down during training camp. Good job AM and JD!!

The four goals rocked my socks off. That it happened in a span of seven shots was even bettter. Best moment for me was how they won the game after Detroit came within one. That third goal, you could see from our seats in the rafters (honestly, there were banners closer to the ice than we were) the Wings building up speed as they moved the puck and they struck like lightning. And then the Blues settled down, they played some good defense and salted the win away.

Anbody notice the two defensemen who played the entire last minute of the game? It was Salvadore and Mr. Roboto, Brewer. During the Blues’ timeout, Jackman was leaning over the boards trying to see what was happening in the huddle. You could tell from his body language that it was killing him not being out there. Love to see that.

Finally, I will admit I was ready to send David Perron down to Juniors after the first two weeks of the season when he was only watching the game from the press box. Willem Dafoe, I apologize for doubting you.

And if they lay an egg Friday night and lose against Columbus, I will probably jump from a moderately tall building.

Brad, don’t worry. “Pazzy” actually seems to have forgotten he’s Godzilla and instead has been playing like a regular human being the last couple of games.

I was unfortunately watching at home last night – damn respiratory infection! They kept showing JD on VS and after that second goal by Perron he was all smiles, fist pumping and jumping out of his chair.
Also shown in the crowd last night was Hinote’s sis-in-law to be – Jenny McCarthy. Told my guys at the game to go looking for her to get a thrill.

The crowd noise was incredible last night on TV – the announcers at one point said he couldn’t remember it being as loud in several seasons – DUH!
They had some really good things to say about alot of our players – including Jammer…. I forgot he did so well in the Worlds during the summer.

As far as Brewer, he almost screwed the pooch in that final minute trying to blind pass back through his legs in the corner – it was a little scary!

On the STL forum, some dumbass wants to blow up the team and go to all young players – says he wants some creative conversation – his suggestion trade Manny, Dougie, Bryce, Ryan & Marty Ru as well as Jax or Mr. Roboto as a salary dump and get what we can for them – this is after a win last night – yeah, Scotty is MUCH more fun when I have section 125 almost completely to myself……..as I said, DUMBASS.

I was sitting behind some old douchebag in a black wings jersey last night, and after the first two goals he was really giving it to everybody in sec. 316. But you should have seen that gold-necklace wearing turd with his head buried in his hands after the Jammer goal. So nice.

Diana,
They put the replay of JD on the scoreboard with the big fist pump. The crowd really liked that one.

You guys can slam “Mr. Roboto” all you want, but the fact is, he played Prongeresque minutes last night and was rock solid. Even his between the legs attempt was ok because it went to the side and not up the middle.

Don’t know why Manny Legs wasn’t at least the #2 star. Without him standing on his head, the score would have been 5-1 Detroit early in the 2nd period.

Manny wasn’t one of the stars of the game because they can’t give him one every night. :) Besides, the kids are here, and when they contribute, make sure you know that it’s appreciated. Give ’em a taste of the love.

Notes about last night:

1) I can’t talk today. Left my voice at the rink :)

2) I taught my kid how to boo at the Red Wing introductions. Felt kinda good to pull out the first word I learned as a child with real feeling again (I’m from Philly).

3) Putting Dutchie with Perron on a regular shift—that should give all three more room.

4) Did I say that the Blues didn’t need another slick stick guy? Sorry about that, David. I didn’t realize you knew the point of fancy stick handling was to shoot, not make an endless succession of pretty passes until one gets intercepted. My sincerest apologies. That shot in Chicago was big time NHL hockey, too. Even if it was La(s)lime.

5) Damn, Wagner’s solid. When he hesitates to shoot, it’s because he knows it’s not going to get through, then he moves so he can get the shot off. Doesn’t look pass-first if the first opportunity isn’t there. Killer lead to Perron for the second goal.

6) Dirty, nasty scrums in front of the net for loose pucks=power-play goals. You get on the highlight reels for the dirty as well the pretty.

7) Mayers + bad angle + easy save = He shoots, he scores! Bad hands, bad angles are money. Also, forget who it was, but Jammer obliterated him behind the Wings net in the 3rd. Nice to see a good, big, clean hit by our guys.

8) Dead Wings fans in the move of the game seats. They didn’t even have lower-level tickets. You can get ’em for less than the cheap seats in Detroit, cheapskates.

9) Dead Wings fans can’t talk today. Lost their balls in the second period. and too busy searching for their team’s in the Lambert mud.

10) Is Leclaire done imitating a brick wall set in metal (CLANG!)?
