Blues Vs. Red Wings Open Thread

by Brad Lee on Mar 25, 2008 3:30 PM CDT

Jamal Mayers does not like the Red Wings.

By Brad Lee

No. 1 sign fans are ready for the season to be over: I've been scrambling to find people to go with me to the hockey game tonight, Gift has called me with extra tickets and another commenter has called me with a ticket offer. You'd think Columbus was in town.

St. Louis Blues fever...catch it!

If you'd like to cross the fence for a quick preview of things, go to On The Wings. They share with us these bits of information:

Dallas Drake and Dan Cleary will be back in the lineup tonight.

Tomas Holmstrom did not skate, but is with the team. His abdomen will get more tests tomorrow in Detroit, either an MRI or ultrasound. His return isn't going to come in the next few days (EDIT: Couldn't happen to a nicer guy).

Dominik Hasek has the flu, so Chris Ozzzzzzz-Good gets the start.

Blues lines:
Kariya-Tkachuk-Boyes (BTK is a killer line.)
King-McDonald-Backes (NO WAY this line stays together long.)
McClement-R. Johnson-Mayers (Do you think McClement could be the long lost kid brother of the Mayers brothers?)
Stempniak-Perron-Janssen (Henceforth to be called the Doghouse Line.)
Jackman-E. Johnson
Brewer-Polak
Woywitka-Walker

The season series between the Blues and Wings is tied 3-3 with it wrapping up tonight and Friday at Joe Louis. Go wild in the comments. I will share with Gallagher my expectation on the number of times a certain phrase is included in the hilarious/pithy/bitter observations. We'll see if it's exceeded.

EDIT: 117 times just the phrase "fuck Detroit" was typed in the comments. New World's Record. Get Guinness on the phone.

On the bright side, Blues get to check Red Wings for at least an hour tonight.

So who wants to bet that every time Detroit puts skilled players on the ice, AM counters with a line of grinders? Enjoy your two 20-second shifts DP.

Do you remmber what Gene Simmons used to do every night after a KISS concert? Fuck Detroit.

Y’know who I still don’t like?

Detroit.

Fuck Detroit.

by Poor College Student on Mar 25, 2008 4:33 PM CDT reply actions

I think the Stempniak, Perron and Janssen line was a real good idea. I hope it plays out tonight.

I have a feeling Aaron Downey may get some attention tonight based on his comments after last game.

I’ve had tix for several weeks, as part of a company outing, and yes, people were trying to find takers for tickets all day. I’ll be at the game tonight, 321 P5. Feel free to look me up. I plan on buying some extra copies of GT to hand out to my co-workers.

oh yeah, I almost forgot-

Fuck Detroit

fuck you people for not mentioning the can’t-find-someone-to-go-with situation BEFORE I decided to take a nap before the game. I would’ve gone with you. we could’ve met up at Gallegher’s vender spot by the Kung Fu Bunny or something.

fuck Detroit

by Dooks on Mar 25, 2008 8:23 PM CDT reply actions

did you see Downey run like a little bitch? Franzen’s getting crunched too. Too bad the minor league refs are afraid to let things get physical. oh the big bad Blue looked at me mean mr. ref, call a penalty because I’m just a soft fragile Red Wing and we never do anything wrong.

They don’t even stand up for themselves.

Fuck Detroit.

by The Goalie Guy on Mar 25, 2008 8:27 PM CDT reply actions

That old guy Walter reminds me of a friend of mine, always being negative and such.

by Dooks on Mar 25, 2008 8:41 PM CDT reply actions

fuck Manny (just once) for making the defenseman come all the way back on the power play every time instead of sending it back up the ice.
the power play is a short period of time, we’d like to spend as much of that time in the other end as possible

by Dooks on Mar 25, 2008 8:45 PM CDT reply actions

re: the last comment, I saw that when I flipped over to versus to check on the Rangers/Flyers game. upon further review on nhl.com, the score was actually 3-1 (Ott. scored in the first period) and it was 5 unanswered goals.

still, though! wow O_O
