Let's Go Red Wings!

I’m with you Brad. But hell, after rooting for the Blackhawks the past few days, my standards are pretty low. Let’s just hope we never have to do this again. Uh…go wings?

…I hate myself.

Just so that friday night, I can sit with my Dad and watch the Blues return to the playoffs. It will be one of those incredible family moments till one of us ruins it by either cursing, farting or making a terrible pun. Like father like son I guess

One correction, an OT loss for the Preds and a Blues win still clinches the playoff spot. The Blues would be 3 points ahead with 1 game left.

Meh. In hockey – and most sports, actually – my philosophy is that my only enemy is the team sharing the ice with my Blues or those in the way of a Playoff spot. Heck, i can’t even work up an effectively frothy bile and hatred for the Cubs (and no, i won’t turn in my St. Louisan card) Would I take great joy if, one of these years, Detroit crapped the bed and was a disgustingly bad team? Oh hells yeah. But it isn’t happening this year.

So this year, I have no qualms with rooting for them to win. They’re just a team on a scoreboard that hopefully has a bigger number next to its name at the end of the night than that of our closest threat. We play them first round in the Postseason — Fuck Detroit with a Ford Motor Company driveshaft. And if we don’t, I’ll be rooting for either Anaheim or Columbus to beat them…because the Red Wings become the bigger threat.

(Sidenote: I’m disappointed that you didn’t drop in the Ace Ventura clip, Brad.)

……………still………….can’t……….do……………..it.

change the site colors to red or try to do a co-GDT with WiM, then it’s okay. I mean you occasionally have to sell your soul to the devil. Hopefully the devil produces results.

This doesn’t make any sense.

You’re supposed to say I want Detroit to lose less, than the other team

… but my eyes will be glued to the Wings/Preds score tonight at the Thrashers game. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? I’ll swallow my hatred and cope. Because there is NOTHING I want to see more than the St. Louis Blues playing some hockey on April 15th. World Peace? Yeah, sorry. You’re taking a back seat. There’s something more important out there.

…Oh I’ll hope the Red wings win, but I’ll be rooting for the building to collapse.

Think of it like this in baseball….Blues magic number is 3….any combination of blues points or Nashville’s missed points (I.E. overtime loses (1 pt) or regulation loses (2 pts)) will get the Blues in.

Let’s go Red Wings. . . . Insert vomit-esque noises here

That is all I have to say. No. No no no.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend, even if your new friend is a bitter enemy.

Or something to that effect.

Now let’s see if these red bastards can actually do some good in the hockey world for once.

I need to drink to make myself root for the ’wings…

Forget/ignore who Nashville is playing. You’re just cheering for FAIL.

the last time Predators played Wings … you cheer for the Preds to lose!!!

…that, because we’re all pulling (silently) for They Who Shall Not Be Named to win, those doucherocketting assnozzles will get the living snot kicked out of them tonight.

They’re just the kind of testicle-huggers to say, " hey, St. Louis needs us to win tonight, so let’s tank this one just to say FU to the Blues. We’re still gonna win the President’s Trophy, so what the hell…"

Lord help me, but I despise those foul demons from the slimiest pit of Malebolge with every fiber of my being. I hate them even worse than I hate the Oakland Raiders, Dallas Cowboys, and Green Bay Packers… and that’s a lot…

B.

I almost threw up in my mouth a little when I saw the title of this post, and its author / site. But hey – desperate times call for… etc.

You probably know this, but the Sharks need either a win tonight against Phoenix (given our level of play last game, anything’s possible), OR a loss from both Detroit and Boston to wrap up the President’s Trophy. We also have the game this Saturday against L.A.

But I’m with you guys – Nashville out, you guys in, even if the FTF / SLGT relationship becomes strained in the next few days. We’ll hope for Chicago to win one of their matchups with Detroit (hey, someone has to win, right?), assuming we can’t get things done on our own terms.

On a side note – if the probable Blues / Sharks matchup occurs, and it goes to 6 games, it means they will face each other on a Saturday or Sunday. As remote of a possibility as it is, I’m flying to St. Louis should it come to that.

As idunno723 would say – Please don’t kill me.

I will never root for them. I’d rather sandpaper a bobcat’s azz in a phone booth.
