Wednesday Links: Pretending the game tonight is in Sweden edition

by averagejoe on Dec 9, 2009 5:00 AM CST Comment 36 comments

All games are exciting, but games against the Red Wings carry that little something extra. That something? Pure, unfiltered hate. I won't be wearing anything red tomorrow. Let's go Blues.

Blues news

For your viewing pleasure: Blues vs. Wings. Tonight. Hopefully, there will be blood. [CBS Sports]
Unreal: "You get a chance and you start thinking about it and trying to pick a spot. That's when you get into trouble." -- Brad Boyes about the Blues struggling offense. Shockingly, the team is going to try putting the puck ON net tonight. [St. Louis Post-Dispatch]
Columbus and the Blues made a trade yesterday. In case you missed it, the Blues have acquired the new Trent Whitfield. Odds Pascal Pelletier even sniffs this NHL this year? [Belleville News-Democrat]
Kick-ass read on Wendy Pleau and her battle with cancer. Only downside to this argument, I kind of think less of Larry Pleau. How do you not know how to use the microwave or washing machine? Come on, man. [ESPN]

Scouting the Enemy

Detroit forward Valtteri Filppula got his wrist cast off, but is still a few weeks away from coming back. [Freep]
Even though he's a Wing, I gotta admit Justin Abdelkader has a cool name. He's playing a bigger role for the Wings. Oh and Ville Leino will be scratched tonight. [MLive]
To find more about the Wings, feel free to check out Winging it in Motown. If you want to fit in, just say things like "Steve Yzerman is a god." or "Our goaltending sucks." Or, you could just say nothing at all since that seems to be the norm over there. [Winging It In Motown]

Hockey news

Results from Tuesday. [Yahoo! Sports]
Oh, Wednesday is another full slate of games. [Yahoo! Sports]
In an investigation that won't change shit, Marc Savard' contract is being looked at by the NHL. Just like Chris Pronger and Marian Hossa before him. What happened to those guys? [Stanley Cup of Chowder]
The Hurricanes Cam Ward is back. [ESPN]
Montreal forward Ryan White was called up from the AHL, but the Canadiens didn't report it properly forcing his removal from the game. [ESPN]
Team Canada (hockey) will be announced on Dec. 30. [CTV Olympics]
Brendan Witt is a bad, bad man. [Puck Daddy]

Other links

I have a good friend whose facebook updates 80 percent of the time about how awesome he is. He is, a facebrager. [facebraggers]
MTV has a new show called "Jersey Shore" that has some of the most incredible (and not in a good way) people. Anyway, apparently (I don't watch the show) the characters all have some stupid nickname. If I were on this site, my name would be DJ Douchebag. What's yours? [Unlikely Words]

Video

This video is simply amazing. This is sexism at its finest, and by the I mean holy shit is this sexist.

Bonus video

Anyone know the weather forecast for tonight in Detroit?

Gametimelinks(at)gmail.com. I'll be working tonight so I won't be at the GDT, but you guys should still kick ass without me.

Did you find the hidden message in today's links?

Secret Message? Oooh! I love those! Let's see...

Hmm… D-R-I-N-K-M-O-R-E-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E… Dammit! Why do they always say that?!? Stupid decoder ring…

Drinking out of my Blues coffe cup from decades ago

Have fun tonight for F-U-C-K-D-E-T-R-O-I-T, kids.

It’s Wednesday. This means bowling. This means I will not be present for the GDT. This means I’ll be sitting at a bowling alley, bowling, drinking beer and watching the game on the bar television . . . some of which will be simultaneous.

Oh, and Brendan Witt is all that is man.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.

"I'm a hockey player, I'm ok. I just have to go get ready for my game."

That, right there, kicks ass. “I’m a hockey player. That truck didn’t even phase me. Try it with a Mack truck, you’ll get the same reaction.”

Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?

Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

just doing whatever i can to help out

figured you guys could use some page views since this little blog gets about three times the amount of visits, so i’d toss along a link. in the spirit of the rivalry, id thought i throw a few jabs your way. shouldve remembered that its a wings site, and thus can’t take a joke.

if you dont want to be linked here, just say the word and ill remove it.

by averagejoe on Dec 9, 2009 2:30 PM CST up reply actions

i'm just saying...

that because we don’t endlessly insult the other teams or cities doesn’t mean our site is less involved than yours. When you have to compete with sites like A2Y, getting the amount of visits we do is pretty impressive. And what knowledge do you have of our numbers anyway?

sigh

dude it was just a joke. honestly, i think you guys do pretty decent work on WIM. i cant stand to read A2Y. i tossed a link out to you guys instead of that damn site because i kinda respect what you all do.

that is, until i learned you couldn’t take a joke. seriously man. have you been to this site? go read the olympic preview. we tend not to be too serious around here.

as for my knowledge into page views and such, im not a jedi. i just looked here and here.

by averagejoe on Dec 9, 2009 3:08 PM CST up reply actions

I’m cool with leaving it at a joke. i’ve found Sitemeter is waaaay off but yeah i understand you guys have more views. Ours just looks horrible via sitemeter. I embedded my own code and the numbers are drastically different.

I appreciate the kind words about our content though. I think the biggest problem here is the lack of tone that the internet creates so maybe it’s just a misunderstanding on my part and if so, my bad.

^^^^^^^^^^

the blow out your ass was in a slightly sarcastic tone with a hint of budweiser for tone seasoning

Hey, everyone thinks I'm serious most of the time and it drives me nuts.

I can empathize with ya. Actually, most of us around here (probably, hell I don’t know) respect WiM – I like to thumb through stuff over there because you guys actually analyze things and talk about stuff, and aren’t set on perma-whine. I like that in a website.

Don’t take anything we say here seriously… seriously.

haha okay

It may have just misread everything. Some of those over at SCH are BRUTAL for no reason, even when i would say something good about their team so i guess i was assuming things would be the same with most people in another rivals place.

the only times we really whine are warranted. like son of a bitch, why did we sign todd bertuzzi?

Ok, that is warranted.
