Game 34: San Jose @ Detroit

[Wizard of Corsica]

What's up? Givani Smith got the hard part of the Gordie Howe hat trick earlier. He's in for Zadina.

I got Wes McCauley's autograph at the 1989 Green and White game at East Kentwood, when he was a freshman at Michigan State. Now he's turning 50. Shit.

Mike Knuble was there watching, along with the entire EK Varsity, of course. They went on to win the State Title that year.

It's probably too much to hope Zadina being held out for impending trade.

That was a pretty good scrap - it even got Wes McCauley fired up, lol.

Mick and Ozzie are out in Covid protocol.

Reimer will want that one back. Nice opportunism by Bert there though. This is a pretty fun game so far.

I loved the Rock em Sock em Robot imitation.

For those who missed it...

Wow. Brutal call. I don’t think it even should have been a penalty except maybe to Middleton for embellishment.

Lame 5 minute major.

[JimIsJustPlainOld]

Smith with 5 and a game for hitting Middleton. Total BS call. Middleton turned his head twice and saw him coming and even turned his body so as not to get in the back. And Smith even eased up on it. This was a shoulder to shoulder hit, probably caught Middleton in the shoulder joint. With the Wings toughest player gone, watch the Sharks turn up the heat physically.

Suter with the shorty.

Wow, Bert with another shorty.
