Wings vs. Canadiens @7 PM
1. I really dislike the Canadiens. Despite the fact that they rarely face the Wings, I always take great joy in seeing them lose. I was thrilled to see their 100th anniversary season end in a first-round sweep. There’s something just absurdly arrogant about their fans. And that’s saying something coming from a Wings’ fan. So what antics are they going to come up with to make me want to throw things at my TV?
2. Jimmy Howard’s back in net tonight. I have to admit that he’s earned the start based on his performance during Ozzie’s illness. So will we see good Jimmy or the Jimmy who needs a dog shock collar to keep him in the crease?
3. Like the Wings, Montreal played last night so there’s no excuse for anyone about being “tired.” Who is going to have legs left for tonight?
4. Can Datsyuk follow up his strong game last night with another one?
5. Can the third line keep up the torrid pace it had in the game last night? Will Darren Helm manage to capitalize if he gets a breakaway?
6. Most importantly, will I have any voice left with which to yell at my TV or energy with which to care after the UofM game? It's my last in the Big House as a student, and let's face it, what this weekend's really all about. So, one last time: GO BLUE!!!
It's unclear if I'll be able to watch the game tonight or not, so no promises about a recap.
This is your last season at the Big House? I still have couple years left so I'm slightly more patient than you are, but as a general rule students are not as patient as the alumni season ticket holders who had their seats for half a century! GO BLUE!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, Go Wings. Especially if the Wolverines lose. Michigan hockey lost 4:2 to Bowling Green last night, losing five in a row, so I really need some kind of win here.
