You may have to wait until next season. Or Osgood, Howard and Hasek could all be assassinated! It could happen.
Nick
Put out an APB for that choke-artist Malkin. His namesake of the wingnut blog has one less shot on goal this series. Of course I’m a Rangers fan … but still.
Third Eye Open
You could always jump on the ‘Fuck the Wings’ bandwagon and join me for a Fat Tire, snuggled warmly in our assertion that Scotty Bowman is Satan and at the end of the day, the Wings still have to play home games in Detroit.

Most of that power play for the Pens looked pretty good. Didn’t score, probably won’t, but it looked good.
Thom
I grant you five goals, all in this game even, and a game seven. The Pens have been asleep. Their fans will wake them up tonight.

Man, NBC’s coverage is so lame compared to the CBC.
Darkness
>join me for a Fat Tire
Prohibition Ale is what we are tipping back.
And Bowman is gone… but his spirit may still live on.
Wings don’t look quite as alert/heads up tonight. Travel head or something.

Christmas is a long way off . . . .
Then, again, your Pens whipped my Flyers to win the Turnpike series.
Darkness
Yeah, you were funny in 1936 too.s

The Detroit News claimed in a blurb that the Pistons were getting better ratings than the Wings. I emailed the writer and asked her if CBC was included. She said no, the CBC doesn’t give ratings.
Of course, most of us are watching on CBC. Did she correct or clarify? No.
To her I say: “Ha-Ha! Your medium is dying!” As well it should.
Osgood shutout clock: 155 minutes.

I don’t know how you can pay attention to such trivial stuff as hockey, when Rachael Ray is wearing a scarf and obviously sides with the terrorists.

Sorry Ozzie. My bad.

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLL!

Detroit is making a lot of risky passes in front of their own net.

Powerplay

Impossible that that wasn’t a goal

I think this thread should have been closed after The Grand Panjandrum’s post. That was a take-all comment.

If you don’t count the games played in Michigan, the Pens are decisively winning this series.

There is a Bobby Orr goal for ya !!!
Third Eye Open
>Prohibition Ale…
Well, I haven’t seen it around here, but I will make sure to ask for it from my local suds-jockey. If it displeases me, you will rue the day you ever recommended it.

P.S. Fuck the Wings!
Woodstock007
oh crap sorry, I thought my browser ate shit.
Darkness
Well, note that it IS and ale, complete with a pile of finishing hops.
It’s from that bastion of gay-marrying san francisco’s speakeasy brewery. I’m only drinking it because until saturday, sf is where I am an I make a point of drinking locally. It’s the least I can do.
I hope John is happy now. 2 goals.
Fwiffo
Now you’ve done it. Now the Wings will play like they mean it.
bad dad
Once they sit Brad Stuart down the rest of the night.

Wayne has been a mentor of mine from my first attempt to make changes at DPO. He has helped me and I have helped him. He is also Sen Ron Wyden’s E Oregon Chief of Staff. I guess, obviously, a friend as well.

Pens are playing like they mean it. Trouble is, like the first game, the pens may run out of juice (no pun intended) mid-way through the 3rd period.
Third Eye Open
>San Francisco…How can I be sure they didn’t dry-hop it with a dildo…made of hops? Huh? Can you assure me that no-one was forced to Gay marry using the money this “business” made from these libations?
Can you assure the rest of ‘fly-over’ country that this beer’s San Francisco “values” (ha, it is to laugh!) won’t make my penis fall off, or seruptitiously sign me up to receive junkmail from NOW and the ACLU?
CAN YOU MAKE THAT PROMISE, sir?
Darkness
>CAN YOU MAKE THAT PROMISE, sir?
Um. No. Because I’m afraid you may psyche your penis to fall off and that would be no fault of the beer, but you’d think it was.
And if you really liked hops I’d point you at my favorite hard-to-get beer… Dreadnought.
Kathy
Oh Crap, watching the Wings fall behind and I am completely sober. As terrific as the weekend was, this totally sucks (and no +2 1/2 tonight, I got a field trip to chaperone tomorrow). Oh well, this might mean Detroit can wrap it up in Detroit.
Otto Man
Slightly OT, but Kissing Suzy Kolber knocks this one out of the park.
Kathy
Detroit G-O-A-LLLLLLLL!
BTW anyone in Philly see the Comcast buy Flyer’s tickets banner ad a few minutes ago? Just call 215-208-FUCK (oops, I’m sorry that’s PUCK).
Darkness
Lindstrom is spitting pink water, always a good sign.
Third Eye Open
>I’ve heard of Dreadnought, but haven’t went to try it out before.
I had ‘Dead Guy’ on my list and just knocked that one off (eh, fair to midland) so I guess that means I have another slot on my list ‘o’ drunk to fill.
The Grand Panjandrum
So I’ve been out for a while. Anything happen?
Woo hoo! Merry Christmas, John. Hey now the Pens can say they won two periods during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Cool. It won’t be a complete loss. Moral victories are buckets of awesome.
Notorious P.A.T.
Arrrgh. I’m turning off my TV. Nice game, Pistons and Wings. Grrrr.
bad dad
That goal was SOFT! Get ready for five minutes of Hell, Pens.
Darkness
Boy, Detroit could have used that power play too. Call it a gift, John.
bad dad
Nice game Pens. See ya Saturday.
Thursday
And The Kid comes through…
Maybe the win will let Malkin take a deep breath. He’s still playing alone way too much… Good for them to get at least one win for the home fans! Still don’t think they’re gonna win four, but they play the games for a reason.
I’m just gonna sit here and drown my sorrows about my beloved ‘Nucks. I’d drink more, but I’m trying to figure out what the Sam Hill the new owners are doing. That’s vertigo-inducing enough, thanks.
dickweathers
Ah fuck.
Graeme
Crap. The Pens are determined to make it a series. The Wings woke up for the 3rd, but it just wasn’t enough.
I can’t wait until the next game! More! More!
Big E
Pens win one….. they still play in Pissburg….
Detroit looked off their game from the first period…
re: Kathy” “215-208-FUCK ”
my goodness young lady, such language, would love to hear you do play by play…;-P
Comcrap has that ticket stuff on all the time…
next game should be one for the books… must stock up on Bourbon and some Yuengling or Victory beer….

Unfortunately fot you, under Clinton rules, the Flyers have already won the Cup.
