Wings Beat Blues; Bandwagontown Celebrates

by gallagher on Mar 14, 2009 5:13 PM CDT

Boy, for a first place team that has no concern for a team like the Blues, Detroit's bandwagon fans sure do get excited when they beat them, don't they?

Capt

Hey, Ozzie. What up?

Bottom line for the Blues is that, as we said before the four game homestand started, they have to win three of the four. Win tomorrow and nothing has changed. If they let this loss, which basically boiled down to a 46-second, three goals against meltdown at the start of the second period, get in their heads then the season is lost.

Keep winning games and get into the playoffs. When they accomplish that and their first round opponent is the Wings? Well we'll deal with that when the time comes.

For those of you who want to see Jeff Woywitka and Chris Mason fire off their versions of, "I'm not here to talk about the past," check out their brief post-game interviews:

I blame that loss on the poor execution of the cuddly stuffed bear offensive I called for in an earlier post.

You nailed it, Sean. If not for those 46 seconds, we’d be saying it was an inspired Blues game. The board-pass-to-open-ice effort that was effective in the first was definitely not during those vomit-inducing 46 seconds.

Blues just have to show up tomorrow like they did for most of this game. By the way, despite the standings, we are rooting for a Minnesota win tonight right? Dallas just seems more susceptible to a collapse…especially due to games remaining against the I-guess-it’s-time-to-play-well-again Sharks, right?

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

By the way,

the woman sitting next to my buddy at the game today confirmed every bandwagon stereotype we’ve thrown out about Wings fans.

She asked him if Sergei Fedorov was still playing. And she was wearing a Winter Classic Wings jersey with Datsyuk on the back.

Dumbass.

Should she not have known about his trade to the Ducks, the BJs, and then to the Caps? And the fact that he’s a UFA this season.

Fuck, I hate Detroit and I still now that.

I hope he replied with “Yes, and they expect Larionov to be off IR in time for the playoffs.”

Yeah. That is wrong.

A friend of mine from college is a Dead Things fan from the StL area, but if you’re going to root for that team, you should follow HIS path . . . he rooted for them since childhood (which would include their “halcyon shit days” in the 1980’s) because he idolized Gordie Howe.

Now . . . if you’re going to root for that team, THAT’S the way to go about it. Not like I didn’t rip him for rooting for Detoilet. But I at least had some respect for his fanhood of the team based on the entirety of the facts.

It seems...

….folks in Detroit still haven’t heard about this new-fangled thing called the “internet.” The Wingin It GDT had upwards of a dozen comments! RFJCC posts twice that whenever he’s on the crapper.

It's not that they haven't heard of it, they probably just are too broke to afford it.

once again that damn power play dance square stopped me from getting a bingo, because I refuse to do that retarded shit.
but I got a bingo a different direction later on in the game.

holy shit that game was depressing save for the first period.

I yelled out “fuck Detroit” with a minute and a half to go in the 3rd. I hope they heard me
