I guess success is a hard word to pronounce (EDIT- Now with video)

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. The Eurotwins were showing glimmers of their previous magic, Nick Lidstrom practically doubled his goal count, Jimmy was f-ing rediculous, and somehow the Wings still managed to blow a two goal lead with less than five minutes left in the game. Story of the season. Since I couldn't watch the last period of this game, Trisha was kind enough to send me text updates so at least I didn't have to sit through the pain of watching the disappointment unfold:

"LIDSTROM INSURANCE GOAL WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT DANCE THIS IS SPECTACULAR"
"Helm in box for the rest of the game I hope"
"Yep, there it is. 3-4 with a minute and a half"
"Draper missed the empty net, wtf?"
"F***ing Jovo tied it"
"Shane Doan to win. I blame this on Darren Helm"
"At least we got a point? I guess? Why do I keep forgetting that hockey is nothing but pain and heartache?"

In other news, did anyone else hear Andy Brickley say during pregame that Datsyuk and Zetterberg "have tremendous sex"? He was trying for "success". I mean, I know that when the Eurotwins are on the same line a lot of this



happens, but geeze man, watch your Freudian slips on live tv; I almost choked on my baked potato.

Its hard to accept mediocrity after the past decade or more, huh? Makes me extremely sad that we can't protect a lead to save our lives. UGH!!

Yep, I caught that as soon as it was said. I only wish I wasn't watching the game alone because I would have had someone to laugh with instead of laughing out loud alone.

Interesting Freudian slip there. :)

Although I can easily believe it - their spousal equivalents (Zetterberg is just engaged, right?) are very attractive.
