My husband has become accustomed to this scene as we watch a Red Wings game: the players are skating into faceoff position, nothing of relevance is happening on the ice, but suddenly his wife lets out a groan of disgust. What’s the problem? The arena music.
This is one of those silly side issues […]
Hasek expected to retire at 11 am press conference . Please? Pretty pretty please?
I don’t mean to be down on a Red Wings player and Hasek was an excellent goalie most of the time he was in Buffalo, but he left under lousy circumstances. He had a few bad games and started whining […]
It was over 90 degrees as we made our way back to the car after the Friday parade. We spent more than 3.5 hours out in that heat — my husband wearing a long-sleeved polyester Yzerman jersey, no less — surrounded by over a million other fans. Is it any surprise that I […]
It was hot, it was crowded, and it was terrific! We settled in our folding chairs near the corner of Woodward and John R before 9:00 am. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of the street to appreciate the female flasher in an apartment above, but we had a great view of […]
It got tense at the end, but woo! Our neighborhood erupted with cheers and fireworks as time ran out and the Red Wings took the championship.
Congrats to Henrik Zetterberg, winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy. And yay! There’ll be a Newfoundlander on the Cup from now on. Congrats, Danny. An […]
Holy Himalayan handmaidens, what a game. We finally shut off the lights and tried to get some sleep around 1:15 this morning, but my dreams were full of hockey.
Bottom line from my point of view: you can only serve up bullshit penalties to the Red Wings for so long before the Penguins find a […]
I’ll admit, I didn’t follow tonight’s game as closely as the previous three. I have a headache and every time my husband screamed at the TV (and if you watched the game, you know that was often), it felt as if someone was driving a sledgehammer into my temple. Yeah, he was wound […]
Obviously, tonight’s game wasn’t as joyous to watch as the previous two Red Wings shut-outs. The Wings defense was sloppy and Osgood had to cover outside the crease (perfect example was the third Pittsburgh goal, when Ozzy reached for the puck because no one else did, and Hall came around with it to score). […]
Ryan Malone spent so much time in the penalty box tonight, they’re going to start delivering his mail there. Pretty little Sid Crosby was so ineffective he could have been sitting this one out (I’m glad we were able to watch this on CBC, as Versus is apparently still hot for Crosby’s bod). […]
Was nice to see Danny Cleary from Harbour Grace score the third goal as the Detroit Red Wings took the lead in the Stanley Cup finals against Pittsburgh tonight. I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for Newfoundland — I love the music, adore the people I met when I visited, and find […]
