I hope everyone who's traveling tonight (or tomorrow) has safe going and timely arrivals.  I decided to bow out of driving the six hours out to my aunt's house for our family Thanksgiving because a) I've already been traveling this week and b) I have to work Friday afternoon and driving at 6am sounds awful.

So I'm at home enjoying the Red Wings game ( Read more... )

The riots in Vancouver make me so sad. It's such a great city, such a great team, such a great fanbase, and a few jackasses are making all of it look bad. But it IS just a few jackasses, and shouldn't reflect back on the team or city at all ( Read more... )

This team has heart. Holy shit this team has heart. The Wings nearly always do. It's the legacy of Steve Yzerman and Vladimir Konstantinov, Igor Larionov and Slava Fetisov, Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg, and Pavel Datsyuk ( Read more... )

I can't stop watching this. It's a very clever parody of the 'Good Old Hockey Game' song done for the Olympics. And I love it so.

Even if they won. *sigh* Freaking Crosby. ;)

How bad was the Wings game against the Canucks this (last?) evening ( Read more... )

Juuust a little behind with this. I got caught up in FH's Spring Break and Olympic hockey (yeah, I know, you guys are shocked by THAT) and a little bit stumped by the tickling of the fancy.  Not dirty.

I gotta admit, one of my proudest moments of these Olympics has been introducing nameitlater to hockey. :D I mean, hey, I can support the teams and cheer like a crazy woman and buy merchandise and go to games, but introducing people to this great sport of ours is extra plus double good, right ( Read more... )
