Over at On the Wings Hankarin40 pointed out that the Red Wings very own Pavel Datsyuk will launch his clothing line on April 13th.....so mark your calenders Datsyuk Freaks. (Yep mine's marked)
I've said it in the past, despite now having a facebook profile I still don't get it...I really don't care to know every facet of your daily activities...but whatever, I'm in the minority. Continue to let me know you are now brushing your teeth or are super excited for dinner tonight...
I guess Datsyuk gets the facebook obsession as his clothing line will only be launched on the site. Initially anyway. So if your one of 5 people who have not yet been forced to join, sign up now and get in line for your own Dats T-Shirt.
"Lucky for me, Unlucky for them" I actually like it.........

Rock the vote
Ok you have two missions on this hump day. And please, don't even begin to claim you don't have time. If you have stumbled upon this blog, then you clearly have been searching around the web and have time for these tasks.
First and foremost, head on over to The Triple Deke to cast your vote for the 2009 NHL MVP. What? Did you really think there would be other options? If so then I may have another word for you and it's not as nice as douche but rhymes with brother trucker. Thanks in advance for the vote!
Second, please go to NHL.com to vote for the goal of the year. Detroit's very own Johan Franzen has been nominated for his goal against the Canadians. In case you forgot, this is the goal where Datsyuk shifts from his own body into Franzen's so Mule cannot only embarrass the goalie, but also two or three defensemen. Ahhhhh Red Wing hockey.
Yes I know Mule could have been nominated at least twice for goal of the year. His superman that ho, excuse me superman that goal, could certainly be a contender.
But sadly enough, while doing my civic duty and voting for our friendly Swede, I noticed Franzen was in second to last place. So come on lets at least get a strong showing.
However, there was something that surprised me a bit more. Since Ovechkin's goal has already been deemed by the media to be the goal of the century, the goal of a life time, and very possibly the second coming, I assumed he would be in first......but you know what happens when you assume. Apparently TJ Oshies goal is strongly in first. hmmmmm I bet Sidney Crosby is having a little giggle about this over his fruity pebbles and chocolate milk this morning....

The streak continues
That was certainly a hockey game. The kind of game that causes you to pop anxiety pills and drink copious amounts of alcohol at the same time. Between stressing every time the Wings were in the Flyers zone and couldn’t convert, to wondering when Versus was going to cut to Marty Brodeur , to learning my dad, while stressed, is capable of repeatedly texting me his thoughts on the game, it was a lot to take in.
So overall, a nice solid game from the Wings. The first two periods I was seriously concerned it would turn into the type of game where the Wings dominated, but due to a few lapses in judgment they would lose. Luckily Pavel freakaleak Datsyuk had other thoughts!
Low point of the game, Hartnell the perpetual douchnozzle , scored the first goal. Yep, it was all sorts of nastiness. The kind that doesn’t usually come up until the morning after one too many drinks. To make it worse he got an assist on the second goal. At this point I was concerned Hartnell was going to bend the Wings over himself and make them his jailhouse bitches. But then I settled myself down and remembered who the hell I was talking about.
Both Philly goals were the result of Detroit getting stuck deep in the offensive zone. They had some transitional breakdowns and the Flyers had a few cross ice passes the Wings couldn’t stop. The second goal Kronwall lost the puck behind Philly’s net and Stuart was on his own. I was going to say it was a bit of a soft goal for Ozzie, but then I remembered that he had stopped a breakaway earlier in the game and decided not to go there. Kronwall should not have gotten himself into that position.
At this point I was so nervous that I had some weird desire to bite my nails or scratch my arms like some strung out meth addict. This made the fact that each time the Wings stopped the Flyers in their zone, the hockey geniuses that are the Versus announcers, decided their catch phrase of the night would be “Detroit survived another.” What’s with all the impending doom? Knock it off.
Luckily Datsyuk took it upon himself to calm the nerves of many anxious Wings faithful. (Yes anxious and faithful sound weird in the same sentence, but how else would you describe it?) With three minutes left in the second, Dats had a beautiful wrist shot to make the score 2-1. Slight sigh of relief and I change the channel to the Gilmore Girls because I can’t listen to the Versus broadcasters salivate over Roy anymore ... Back in time to see Marty break the record.
Ahhh third period, after ending the second with a stiff momentum swing. Once again Datsyuk brought the puck in, avoided a check and sent a sick pass over to Franzen who absolutely buried the one timer. I was tempted at this point to scream Datsyuk 2- Philly 2, but I had to give Mule credit, he made the one timer count while being in great position. But really, if Datsyuk is on the ice, for the most part you are always in great position. I also liked Hossa-Dats-Mule on the same line.
Game winning goal was of course from Zetterberg. Really showed his commitment to all zones. After his nice hit in the Wings Zone (For some reason I felt the need to scream “Kick his ass Sea Bass” ) Philly turned the puck over and Zetterberg hauled ass down the ice collected the pass and got a nice wrist shot past Biron. Assist goes to Big Rig who was calm and patient with the puck. I think it’s time to sign up for Babcock’s Jonny Ericsson fan club.
Ridunkulous moment of the night ALMOST came during the third period when the donkey dick that is Hartnell decided to go after Datsyuk….yeah classy move Dbag. But the moment that takes it happened when I switched over to the Phoenix/San Jose game and during the first intermission they were interviewing the Coyote mascot. Yep, that’s right, they spent a good 5 minutes having a conversation with a stuffed Coyote, which obviously was not going to respond. But there were some pretty sweet fist pumps and knuckle taps just to show the kids they were down with that. Anyway, end of second and Phoenix leads 3-1.
Overall, good hockey night.
