OK yeah, below .500 for December as of right now. The Wings are playing the Blues right now, so maybe we can draw even. Even so, for this spoiled rotten Wings fan, losing this often sucks donkey.
Since I haven't dropped a blog on you for a few games, I will go over them. Quickly. Because I really, REALLY hate to talk about the Wings when they are not doing so well. Luckily I have other things to distract me, such as wor, and the Nutcracker.
Yes, the Nutcracker. Its a ballet. Uncultured fools, all of you. In any case, my daughter is in a few parts, and she is kicking ass. Seeing her do so well keeps my mind off the Red Wings when they are doing their best impression of 1986.
ANYWAYS: Here you go. The Wings went to Anaheim and shut out the Ducks, 4-0. Player of the game was Howard, obviously, he got the shutout. Then the Wings packed up and took the short walk across the highway to LA to lose in OT to the Kings. Player of the Game? Anze Kopitar. Yes, I KNOW he plays for the other team, but he scored the game winner, so he deserves it. Besides, I can throw a dart at a team picture of the Wings and tell you how bad they sucked, no matter who it hits. Even the towel boys were slow. Moving on, the Wings lose back to back games (for a total of three in a row), to the (stupid) Sharks and the Predators. Then Montreal came to town for an Original Six matchup, and the Wings managed to score 4 and win one. After that, they travelled to New Jersey, and I see Chris Osgood in net. I groan inwardly, because I think old Ozzie is one of the best goalies of all time, but maybe he's in his last season....yeah I said ALL TIME. I see you shaking your heads, you non-believers. Go look at the top ten winningest goalies of all time...guess who is ahead of names like Dominik Hasek, John Vanbiesbrouck, and Mike Vernon? Terry Sawchuk's number hangs from the rafters, and Osgood will probably end up with more wins, but do you think his number will be up there? Hell no. Anyway, Ozzie got win number 399 while beating the THE winnigest goatender of all time, Martin Brodeur. The man gets no respect, even after 4 Stanley Cups. Next on the list is Grant Fuhr, only a mere 8 wins away. He won't catch Marty but he will retire with numbers that are solidly in the top ten of all time.
I'll fill you in on the St Louis game after it ends. Yeah, I know I forgot a game, but it isnt worth talking about, since I could hear the sucking all the way over here in the Seattle area. It was that bad. So bad, in fact, that I think Mickey Redmond actually started drinking during the first period. Right now its the end of the Second, and the Wings have a 3-1 lead....
