Yup, I'm about right there, too.

That was what I meant when I said I'd been wondering where those guys were, all this time. They showed up. In plenty of time.

I could readily see, for example, how Datsyuk is like our Gonchar, in terms of how he affects the whole team dynamic technically and via chemistry.

But, the Pens have been surprising me for the last several months, on a nightly (gamely?) basis. I will welcome any more surprises they can give me.

GO HOCKEY!

GO PENS! GO BYLSMA!

Any an early prediction: Pens vs. Wings, next year, in the Final, again. I think I may be the first one with THAT one. Epic uber-rivalry.

Well, fact is, when it comes down the the final finals, that is, the best outta three series, it's all or nothing every game.

My money is on the Wings for the next two games.

Of course, deep in my heart, I am still not snuffing out the candle. But, it's getting pretty drafty.

LOL, the different ways we use this thread.... (I'd be rich If I had a penny for every bum check the Pens have put up with in this series alone, never mind the whole playoffs-- but I know it looks different depending on which team a fan is protecting in their heart.)

Me, I had a hard stop an hour or two ago I think my hockeypals here may be able to rerlate to.... I find it quite amusing....

I had slept late (a rare luxury) and was rushing thru the AM chores which, in this pastors' home, includes thawing what may, later, be a really fast supper (we are awaiting another one of those "just died" phone calls from a parishioner family just up the road). I admit, I was not yet fully awake. "Which BBQ for the GAME?!?!?!?" was all I was thinking. "Gotta get the right BBQ for a WIN!!!" (I thawed both chix and porx.)

It was not until I'd tossed them in the oven to be ready for the game that I realized-- (A) it's TOMORROW (so I moved them to the fridge and yanked out a steak). And (B) I'd committed to be GONE for the first hour of tomorrow's game, at least, picking up a Freecycle item MILES away. (Good thing!!!)

Nervous? Uh, YEAH..... looking for a tin roof for that dance routine.

Yeah, Beer, I think I'm pretty fair mined too. Sure, I'm a big time homer, but if our guys make a mistake, play bad, stink up the joint, vis-a-vis Game 4 - I'll be the first to admit it and jump all over them for it. I'll also be the first to jump on them for cheap shots, and yes, the Wings do make a few cheapo's but not that many compared to some other clubs (Ducks). So I'm now going to take a moment to piss on the skates of the Pens Talbot for taking a whack with his stick at Datsyuk's injured foot - that's not hockey, that's just plain, simple B.S.! No, I didn't see it, so I'm commenting blind, but, I've heard about it from several people and read about it in the Freep and the P-G. I'd feel the same way if Dats did it to someone else. You've got to beat them up-and-up, fair-and-square, or a victory is meaningless.

I'm gonna be selfish here and hope for a Red Wing victory on Tuesday.
I don't care if it's by a half of a goal - I'll take it. Let's get it on, get it over, and prepare to go again in the fall. GOD, I LOVE THIS GAME - GO RED WINGS GO!.........................mwh

My greatest joy last evening was sitting back listening to the commentators expressing their wisdom as to how Detroit is so tired. One even asked one of the players as to what they will do because of it. Stupid assholes. Did they think that the Wings were going to roll over and die? But here is the best. At about the 15 minute mark they started the same thing again. No, not the Wings this time but the Pens.look awful tired.
If I recall they also spoke in the recent past games how much Crosby has matured from last years finals. Yep! right!. In my books he is still as immature as last year and I also think he should get some cat to lick of his mustache or not grow one at all. I said it last year and I'll say it again. Crosby has not learned to control his emotions. When the Pens are loosing you can read the expression on his face and it does not help his team.

The Pens hopefully come out and play in the next game otherwise it will be another 6 game Stanley Cup final for the Red Wings.

By the Way, I'm a hockey fan as well as a Red Wing fan. If Pits. win a well deserved game I am sad for my team but I will also acknowledge the fact that the Wings did not deserve to win.

I know I have been told not to comment any more on the chippy shit, but, I gotta say.... Sidney really pissed me off with that cheap slash. I mean, if I was gonna get a guy for the crap rained on me that was not called, I would wait for it to be a tad more tastey that that little tap. That wouldn't have even made a bruise bigger than the smile Crosby got sent when he went in the box.

I can understand the frustration he felt after the crap he had to put up with, but, come ON. A slash? a wee little slash? Show a little CANUCK and fuckin NAIL the guy with a wicked check. Not like he couldn't set it up because he was busy playin hockey or somethin.

I am bettin on the Pens next game. It's a gamble, because it's best out of three now, but... I gotta go with the money bet. No sense in layin money down to make nothin if ya can't afford to lose it eh? Come big or stay home, Me Mere used to say.

Well, needless to write, but this is one happy household. When I arrived at the gig house last night I pulled in behind a car with a Dallas Stars logo on it; the driver got out of the car, looked back at me wearing my Chelios shirt/jersey and said, "Nice to see you - GO PENS!" Heading into the house there were more cars bearing a Stars logo and I knew I wore the right shirt and ballcap.

Before we got started several of the guests and myself had a long discussion about hockey: what the Stars could have done if not for all the injuries this year; what they'll do next year; how much the Red Wings are hated by everyone in North Texas, and whether or not the Pens will take the cup in six games or seven. Of course, I stood alone in the crowd. Gordie Howe would be proud.

Some of the Stars/Pens fans wanted the tv on with the sound off but our hostess would have none of that, so, I advised everyone that my wife was going to leave me a voice-mail - at the end of each period, and, whenever anyone scored. One guy, who was there with his wife said that he did not want to know the score because he was taping the game and would watch it when he got home. As it were, I put the phone on silent/buzz and took to the stage. After about two songs I got a buzz, then sometime later I got another buzz, etc.

After an hour or so I told everyone that there had been several buzzes in my pants since we started and I took a break to listen.
One Stars/Pens fan came up and asked me the score and then she just hung her head; then, after another buzz the wife of the man who was taping the game came up, leaned into me and said, "Please, I can't stand it, just whisper the score to me." She didn't like what she heard at all.

The evening was really a great success from a music/entertainment standpoint, but at one spot, fairly late, our hostess came up to me and said that I had given more than enough for the evening and that I could quit whenever I felt like it. I told her I'd take a beer and that with a minute-forty to go in the final period and my guys up 5 to nothing - "Hell, I'll sing all night if they want me to!" GO RED WINGS GO!.............mwh

And, I WILL be taping the game for future reference.

BTW... I must comment... the refs are doing an AMAZING job at the calls. I saw penalties that I hollered at and even jumped up out of the LazyBoy over (true strory!) and then said, yeah, I understand why you didn't call that. It is a true testement as to how to ref a game. Some stuff you gotta call, some stuff you gotta send a dirty look to the guy and put him on notice for the sake of the flow.

It's been great so far, including the fans and the refs. I am actually getting into it, even tho the Habs are golfing.

So... since I called it perfectly so far, I think I should bow out of any predictions as I don't wanna spoil the ending for anyone.

But, I got fifty bucks riding on the game tonight... >;-) (Canuck thing.)

MWH,

I do not know if the Total Recorder software's video-capture add-on can process a 3+-hourlong event. I've mostly used just their audio recording feature. Your best bet is to canvass local friends to see who has a DVR they can put at your disposal, but transferring the game from DVR to DVD takes a DVD burner in addition to the DVR (recorder), if you don't want to watch the game on their TV but make it portable.

A game takes at least 2 DVDs, so the friend has to be willing to swap in a fresh DVD for the second half of the game (and a third one if it goes into overtime). VHS, on the other hand, can carry up to 6 hours of medium-quality videotape if you have or can use someone's VHS recorder/player. But the reality is that even if the Wings win, it's just not as exciting if you know what happened.

~S~ yes, the Freep has hinted at a problem for Lidstrom, but that's as far as it's gone. He did make some uncharacteristic mistakes in the last game, and, well, maybe you're right - he's not healed from what kept him out early on. As I stated earlier in the series, being healthy is so much a part of winning the cup.

I have another problem and maybe you, or someone who reads this, can help me out. There are places on-line where you can watch the games in progress, but, are there any places on-line where you can watch the game after it has been played?

I can't believe this is happening to me, but the Free Press wrote today that the next game is Tuesday, and that (if necessary) Game 7 is on Friday night - DAMN IT! This is not fair - I'm booked into a festival show next Friday night and would have to miss Game 7 - DAMN IT! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! I must have pissed-off the hockey gods somehow; heck, I even changed my performace day from Saturday to Friday to accomodate another singer who was only available on Saturday. Although it really hurts, I can handle missing the game tonight, but Game 7?

You know, I'll bet that damned Bettman is behind this somehow; after all the bad things I've written about him, why, he probably....

Wellll....... but how is MURPHY doing?

To answer your questions and concerns about Wings' perfomace, I think they are just beyond exhausted and banged up. And too classy to plead that as an excuse. And they never played THIS Pens team-- few did, till the first playoff series, because the Bylsma changes are still not well understood by anyone but the Pens. Not enough time for any team to scout him or his new way for the team to play. The Pens themselves are surprised thay are doing so well.

I say it's still a tossup.

~S~ - there may have been some mistakes by the Pens, but they ate our lunch and left no crumbs in the bag. If they repeat that performance trick on Saturday then - wings will be eaten for supper during game six next week.

My boys have lost the ability to score on the power-play; and, God, please tell me what the hell they are doing on the penalty kill? I simply do not know what it is they are doing. All they do is stand around while the Pens swarm and shoot until they score. I cannot accept that this talented team cannot devise a penalty kill policy that works! I'm sorry, but from now on, when the Wings get a penalty called on them, I submit that it would make the game more interesting if they just gave a goal to Pittsburgh and let them continue play, because that's what it has turned into - a goal for the Pens.

Personally, unless he's really hyped up, I don't think Dats coming back will make much difference; I mean, he's been out for many days now, he's probably not at 100%, and he'll probably be out of sync with everyone for at least the first game - and that's the game we'll need him for. If my guys don't win tomorrow - it's over.

I kinda feel like Datsyuk, myself, cause if I could cancel this gig tomorrow, I surely would; there are just some things that take precedent, and Red Wings Stanley Cup Finals hockey is one of those things. My wonderful Kelly will be relaying messages to me at the end of each period and whenever anyone scores.

Friends, if you liked last night's game then hang on because there's another one lined up for tomorrow night; and then, at least one or two more. I hope ~S~ and I have fingernails and guitar callouses left after these next few days. Ah, well, don't cha just love it!

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! This series is so damned frustrating. I think you all are right - Dats is not coming back, and even if he does, he'll be nursing the foot and one whack would probably put him back out; but, ya' know - that's hockey, injury is part of the game and was certainly one of the reasons that the Red Wings won last year - they had very few injuries and everyone could play at top speed.

On another note, I'm happy to be working, but not pleased to have to miss the game on Saturday for a house concert. I expect my audience would not appreciate me watching a hockey game while performing; and, they surely wouldn't stand for my jumping up and yelling,"YES, YES," in the middle of some chorus after the Wings score. Then again, they would not like my negative statements like, "Oh, shit," when the Pens score or get a power play when I'm in the middle of singing, "The Dutchman." "The dutchman's not the kind of man, who keeps his thumb jammed in the...OH, SHIT!"

Yeah... we gonna have to win at least one there..... OK, the chicken for sure. It's a home game. We have all the advantage we need, already.

About Datsyuk. Sorry, friends, but he is not going t be anywhere NEAR 100% if and when he "returns." It's simple logic. If he was anywhere NEAR being able to limp out there on one foot, he'd have been playing already!!! If he's not been able to do that, his injury is SO BAD that it will take time to get him anywhere near "healthy." So if they put him out there, ya better pray they found a pain med not traceable on a drug screen, and that it doesn't mess with his head or hands too bad. Poor guy, must be making him NUTS to sit on the side and watch.... He's got to have been hurt BAD to have missed more than one game-- it's the CUP for Lord's sake!

Two things that the Red Wings have been known for, for a long time, have been puck control and patience; this is true in a game, and I would suspect it to be true in a series as well. The one thing that has not been rectified in this series is that Pavel Datsyuk is out - he hasn't played at all. The Pens are good, no question; but, if Dats comes back, and can play at near 100%, well,................

I fear you may be right, but we have two BIG packs of treats ready for game time.

GO PENS GOGOGOGOGO!

What we have not seen yet is when Geno gets jiggy. Watch the body language of his legs. When he gets fired up he gets really weird on his legs, and his skating then becomes totally unpredictable towards the net. His hands get unusually sensitive at the same time.

When he is in this mode, it sticks thru at least two periods. When he gets a goal he becomes ravenous for several more. Watch for it. It's hormones plus raw, inborn talent plus well-schooled skill (plus teammates who catch the fire and have their own talent and skill).

He also distributes the puck to scoring wingers, in this mode. He may be given two lines, in the same mode Bylsma used him and Sid in the 7-D configuration. They can run 6 D and still double-shift the boys.

Or he can put them out together-- the two-headed monster is good anytime, but when both boys are lit up it is really scary.

If they capitalize on ANY of these they will never look back, EVEN IF THEY LOSE THIS GAME.


Geno's game-end fight was not to send a message, but to get himself pumped. I have never seen him stay pumped between games, but then this IS the Cup Final. So.... we have two BIG packs of treats ready for game time.
